| 3.1 Meaning - Air date 09/05/2006
Show Airing in 8:00 PM Timeslot for Four Weeks House has recovered from multiple gunshot wounds and is back at work, taking on two cases simultaneously: Richard, paralyzed after brain cancer surgery eight years ago, who drove himself on his motorized wheelchair headfirst into a swimming pool; and Caren, a young woman paralyzed from the neck down after a yoga session. As House begins to diagnose and treat them, the team notices a distinct change in his attitude toward the patients, and Cameron even catches Richard's wife thanking House for his sensitivity to her husband's situation. House suspects that Richard could possibly walk again, but he has no specific medical proof to back up his hunch and the various treatment avenues he pursues lead nowhere. Cameron and Foreman refuse to indulge House and his theories, which they feel he's pursuing merely to make the case interesting for himself. Cuddy and Wilson also are convinced House is creating a mystery out of Richard's case to cure his own boredom, but he denies it and becomes more frustrated when his theories do not point to a cure for Richard, forcing House to face an unpleasant truth in the “Meaning” episode of HOUSE airing Tuesday, Sept. 5 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. (HOU-301) (TV-PG L) Cast: Hugh Laurie as Dr. Gregory House; Lisa Edelstein as Dr. Lisa Cuddy; Omar Epps as Dr. Eric Foreman; Robert Sean Leonard as Dr. James Wilson; Jennifer Morrison as Dr. Allison Cameron; Jesse Spencer as Dr. Robert Chase. Guest Cast: Kathleen Quinlan as Arlene; Edward Edwards as Richard; Carter Jenkins as Mark; Clare Kramer as Caren; Terry Rhoads as Artie; Eamon Hunt as Surgeon; Remy Thorne as Kid; Bobbin Bergstrom as Nurse Directed by Deran Sarafian Written by Lawrence Kaplow and David Shore TV Guide, August 28, 2006:

From Ask Ausiello - TV Guide: Question: There are people saying that Cameron turns down House in next week's season premiere. Is that true? — Heather Ausiello: Nope. But while we're discussing Hameron, remember how Hugh Laurie awkwardly attempted to relay a message on Jennifer Morrison's behalf at press tour last month (Ask Ausiello 8/2)? Well, at the Emmys Sunday, she delivered said message herself: She wants them together, and STAT! "Of course," she beamed. "It's good to mix it up a little, have some extra TV drama." She added that fans "seem to have their couple that they root for. There are some people who want Cameron and House, there are some people who want House and Cuddy, and there are some people who want House and Wilson. There are all these different camps." BTW, Morrison and costar Jesse Spencer apparently decided to make the Emmys their official coming-out party as a couple. I'm not sure, but they could very well be the prettiest twosome in the galaxy.
Exec producer Katie Jacobs hints that the season premiere could mark a major turning point for the star-crossed MDs. "In the first episode," Jacobs previews, "Cuddy gives [House] Ketamine. I don't want to reveal how temporary or to what degree it works, but it does have some success. Now, Cameron has always been attracted to House — in his opinion because he's wounded. So, I think House is gonna want to know from Cameron if [her feelings are the same] if he's healthy and walking around. And what will that relationship be if he's no longer that wounded puppy?"

TV Guide - September 11, 2006
HOUSE AND THE TEAM FIGHT TO SAVE A YOUNG BOY Show Airing in 8:00 PM Timeslot House’s ego has taken quite a blow because he failed to diagnose his last case, and it’s affecting him physically. He is obviously in pain again, although he continues to deny it. House’s new case is 7-year-old Clancy, a product of in-vitro fertilization, who’s been admitted to the hospital with rectal bleeding and proclamations of being tortured by aliens. As the team runs tests on him, they discover the same test is giving conflicting results. When Clancy claims to have a tracking device in the back of his neck and the team discovers an unknown metal object exactly in that spot, they aren’t quite sure what to think. Amidst all this weirdness, Cuddy and Wilson decide it would be best not to tell House the truth about his last case, thinking that perhaps he will learn some humility if he believes he’s not always right. Cameron discovers the lie and is outraged, but Cuddy convinces her to hold off telling House. When House and the team discover cells with a different type of DNA in Clancy’s body, they are forced to give Clancy’s alien claims a little more credence, but a frustrated House gives up on his young patient, forcing Cuddy to re-think her desire to hold back the truth she’s hiding in the “Cane & Able” episode of HOUSE airing Tuesday, Sept. 12 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT). (HOU-302) (TV-PG L, V) Cast: Hugh Laurie as Dr. Gregory House; Lisa Edelstein as Dr. Lisa Cuddy; Omar Epps as Dr. Eric Foreman; Robert Sean Leonard as Dr. James Wilson; Jennifer Morrison as Dr. Allison Cameron; Jesse Spencer as Dr. Robert Chase.

| 3.3 Informed Consent - Air date 09/19/2006
House exec producer Katie Jacobs revealed that Joel Grey will guest-star in next season's third episode as a "scientist who wants the right to die. He hopes that House will grant him his wish." The episode is being directed by ER vet Laura Innes. Source: TV Guide HOUSE AND THE TEAM ARE PULLED IN DIFFERING ETHICAL DIRECTIONS WHEN THEIR PATIENT ASKS THEM TO HELP HIM END HIS LIFE Joel Grey Guest-Stars Show Airing in 8:00 PM Timeslot The ketamine has worn off and House is back to using his cane and doesn't want to talk about it. His new patient is Ezra Powell (guest star Joel Grey), a renowned pioneer in the field of medical research, who collapsed in his lab. House puts Ezra through diagnostic rigors, but the team is unable to come up with a conclusive diagnosis, and Ezra's health continues to deteriorate. Becoming increasingly debilitated, Ezra ultimately demands that the team stop the litany of medical tests and help him end his life. The team members have divergent opinions on the morality of helping Ezra die, especially since the possibility of a cure is still in question. The moral dilemma of whether to assist in his suicide and abide by Ezra's wishes, or to ignore what their patient wants drives the team in very different directions. Meanwhile, the teenage daughter of a clinic patient has developed a crush on Dr. House in the "Informed Consent" episode of HOUSE airing Tuesday, Sept. 19 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT).

| 3.4 Lines in the Sand - Air date 09/26/2006
HOUSE TRIES TO DECIPHER AN AUTISTIC BOY'S SIGNALS Show Airing in 8:00 PM Timeslot House takes the case of Adam, a 10-year-old severely autistic boy who screams loudly for no apparent reason, at least not a reason his three previous doctors could diagnose. The team wonders why House is taking the case - the boy's not sick; his symptoms seem to be a product of his autism. House claims he just wants a patient who can't lie, but it seems he relates to this kid: the social aloofness, the obsession with detail, the lack of social graces. In fact, House actually envies him; living in a shell has its advantages. But when Cuddy makes a minor change to House's office and House refuses to use the office until it's returned to its original state, he finds himself wandering the hospital in need of a temporary home, crashing in Cuddy and Wilson's offices. Meanwhile, teenager Ali from the previous episode still has a crush on House and is becoming a nuisance around the hospital. As Adam becomes more ill and the torturous diagnostic procedures yield nothing, House realizes he needs an answer, and his patient just might be the only one who can give him one. House finds he has to break through the very shell he admires in order to get anything out of the boy in the "Lines in the Sand" episode of HOUSE airing Tuesday, Sept. 26 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT). (HOU-304) (TV-PG L) Cast: Hugh Laurie as Dr. Gregory House; Lisa Edelstein as Dr. Lisa Cuddy; Omar Epps as Dr. Eric Foreman; Robert Sean Leonard as Dr. James Wilson; Jennifer Morrison as Dr. Allison Cameron; Jesse Spencer as Dr. Robert Chase.

HOUSE AND HIS TEAM RACE TO SAVE A YOUNG COUPLE David Morse Guests-Stars in First of Six-Episode Arc Show Has 9:00 PM Time Period Premiere House takes on the case of 20-year-old female patient Tracy Dawson, who is rushed to Princeton Plainsboro Teaching Hospital with breathing difficulties and unexplained intense abdominal pain after she and her husband, Jeremy, are victims of a robbery. During Tracy’s stress test, Jeremy collapses in the hospital viewing room, with test results leading the team to believe the couple’s illnesses are related. Their strained relationship with Jeremy’s father causes Tracy to hallucinate about a past incident when her father-in-law tried to hurt Jeremy for seeing her. The traumatic dream leaves Tracy in a coma and House wants to conduct a very risky biopsy on her brain stem, but Jeremy refuses to consent. House enlists Wilson’s help to explain the potentially dangerous procedure and secure Jeremy’s consent, but all does not go as planned; House discovers a new symptom that takes the case down a shocking new path and changes the course of the couples’ lives forever. Meanwhile, House and clinic patient Michael Tritter (guest star David Morse) have a touchy altercation, leaving Tritter appalled and furious at the way House treated him in the “Fools for Love” episode of HOUSE airing Tuesday, October 31 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT). (HOU-305) (TV-14 D, L, V) Cast: Hugh Laurie as Dr. Gregory House; Lisa Edelstein as Dr. Lisa Cuddy; Omar Epps as Dr. Eric Foreman; Robert Sean Leonard as Dr. James Wilson; Jennifer Morrison as Dr. Allison Cameron; Jesse Spencer as Dr. Robert Chase.

House Exclusive: David Morse Joins Cast! - from Michael Ausiello, TV Guide "Here's some fresh House prattle for you kids: The show has recruited former Hackster David Morse for a multi-episode arc. According to exec producer Katie Jacobs, Morse's character — a cop named Michael Tritter — will face off with Hugh Laurie in a battle of egos. "House is going to piss off the wrong guy, and that guy just happens to be a cop," Jacobs reveals. "[Tritter's] really going to hold House accountable. We're going to have some fun with that." From Ask Ausiello - TV Guide: Question: I know Hugh Laurie, Jennifer Morrison, Lisa Edelstein, Jesse Spencer and Omar Epps were working the red carpet at the Emmys. Please say you got some Season 3 scoop from one of them? — Lizzie Ausiello: Poor naive Lizzie. Don't you know by now that the actors are the last ones to know what's coming up on their show? The producers are where the scoop's at, and, lucky for us, House exec producer Katie Jacobs was in a chatty mood on Sunday. She revealed that David Morse's cop character "starts out as a patient" at Princeton Plainsboro. "He comes into the clinic and House is House, and Morse just thinks this is not OK. House basically just pisses off the wrong guy. We filmed a scene the other night where he's stationed on a corner and House is driving home on his bike and gets pulled over for reckless driving, and House pops a Vicodin." And House isn't the only one who gets drawn into Morse's vendetta. As series creator David Shore teased, "We're going to learn a little bit more about [Cameron, Foreman and Co.] through this detective. He's going to be checking them out, too." Small screencaps from the Fox preview clip:

While they conduct the necessary tests, the team runs into several obstacles due to the sheer mass of the patient, and while sedated and undergoing an MRI, George suddenly awakes in a panic and struggles to get free. Upon awakening, George decides that he is fine and requests a discharge. Afraid that George’s problem is bigger than he believes, Cameron takes extreme measures to stop him from leaving.

Unconvinced by George’s reasoning, House discovers the root of his illness during a physical altercation. Meanwhile, House has spent the night in jail after being arrested by Officer Michael Tritter for a number of violations, including resisting arrest. Tritter, putting the squeeze on House, searches his home to find more evidence of his drug abuse and puts House’s team on the spot when he questions each of them about House and his relationship with Vicodin, and it becomes evident that House may need to get a lawyer in the “Que Sera Sera” episode of HOUSE airing Tuesday, Nov. 7 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT).
