So is this back for good now? We've had what ... 3 new episodes in the past 2 months?
Looking forward to it anyway.

A guess, the older brother -jealous of the attention the new baby would bring- took the new-born and "hid" her somewhere.
Pretty funny the way House put in some fake entries in his file in case someone went snooping. 
Excellent episode, aside from some of the lighting choices I really liked Laurie's directing.
But, Chase got his curteousy pop, Taub and Forman got high, Wilson and Thriteen played "Truth or Dare", House's heart grew a couple more sizeds and Taub got to see Thirteen's, er, "Thirteens."
Excellent episode.

While I like the idea of a break from the usual "Make a wrong diagnosis and almost kill the patient every twelve minutes" formula, I didn't think this series of isolated character vignettes worked all that well. It's highly contrived that the lockdown would happen just as Cameron comes back to give Chase the divorce papers and just as House happens to end up in a room occupied by a dying patient whose case he rejected. And while it's nice in theory to see them trying a pairing that hasn't been explored much, Wilson/Thirteen, the whole "Truth or Dare" thing was stupid. And I have problems with the idea that two doctors wouldn't know better than to overdose themselves with an unprescribed narcotic. The whole Foreman/Taub thing was kind of weak.
At least Cuddy got to demonstrate her competence again and come out as the hero.

I thought it was pretty average.
The truth or dare didn't work, nor did the two doctors getting high together. Really nothing here today that we hadn't see before.
Still, Chase finally got the truth (and a little more) and Cuddy saved the day, so not a total loss.
And Taub's "interesting night" was well done, too.

Except Thirteen just seemed to snub him as he said it, walking off without even acknowledging him or the fact that he held the door open for her.
Even though this was basically TNG's Disaster in a hospital, I enjoyed it a lot and I'm giving it an excellent.
I notice they did the same thing to House that they did to Picard, they left him stuck with the kind of person he is least comfortable with. In Picard's case it was children, in House's it's not only a patient but one he can't cure.
I might be reading too much in to this, but I think even the way Foreman and Taub were dressed was a reference to Fight Club.
I hadn't considered that House was still missing Lydia that much.
The good stuff here would have been the frosting on an otherwise solid episode, and the direction and acting was solid, but there was too much that just didn't hit home for me. The solution to the mystery was completely out of the blue, and only the House and Chase/Cameron stuff had any real impact.
She flashed her boobs at him. I'd call that one hell of a thank you.
Why else do you think she opened her blouse when she walked by him? To show him the slogan on her t-shirt? She said she was honorbound by the rules of Truth or Dare to take the dare, and she lived up to it.
^She did ?
Did you watch the episode?!
Above average. I thought it all worked pretty well.
I wonder if I'm being too nitpicky but I think they should give the "sentimental musical montage" a rest. It's become a bit obvious now. Yes I realize this is kind of the hook of the show and goes back to the very beginning, yada yada yada.

I just rewatched it - I must have looked away from the TV or something as I honestly didn't see it.
