House - Bombshells

Bombshells would have to be the finest episode of House all season (so far!).  Cutty finds blood in her urine and House is convinced it is nothing to worry about it.  He doesn't want to face the possibility that she could be terminally ill, or that he may have to face the hurt that would come with losing someone you love, so he deflects.  A tumor is found in her kidney and still he will not show concern, even when spots are discovered on her lungs indicating that the cancer has metastasised.  She believes he won't let her down and will turn up to be by her side.  When he does, he stays with her and cares for her and then they discover that the tumor was benign and the spots were a reaction to anti-biotics.  He still stays with her.  While all this is going on, both House and Cutty are having dreams about their relationship and these are absolutely brilliant!  One is when Cutty needs to consider who will care for her daughter if she dies.  she picks her sister because her dream has House and Wilson as a bad 'My Two Dads' type sit-com with House teaching her daughter to not get caught when shoplifting!  House dreams of a wrecked hospital and his staff turned into zombies!  At least he brought his Axe-Cane!  Hilarious!  Another dream is a take off of the end of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, complete with Panavision 2.35:1 ratio and washed out sepia-like colour scheme!  There is also a Leave It To Beaver type dream and a surreal song and dance number where Hugh Laurie's voice gets to belt out Get Happy!
##SPOILER ALERT!!##
At the end of the episode, Cutty suddenly realises that the only way House could have coped and been there for her was if he was taking Vicadin again.  She confronts him and tells him it is over.  He is destroyed.  The episode ends with him sitting on the floor of his bathroom, reminiscent of his breakdown from couple of seasons back, taking more tablets.  He truly loves Cutty and this was just heart-crushing to watch.
Oh and there was a patient that they couldn't diagnose until House has an epiphany near the end of the episode.  Blah, blah, the usual rubbish, but it didn't detract from an exceptional episode.  Brilliant television.
