Once again in this season, the episode had a very interesting patient with an enormous compulsion to give away money, and later his kidneys. The writers are getting very creative which is keeping the viewers tuned in for this final season (rumored).
Adding Adams onto the team is a logical choice. Of course it happened only because House manipulated her into doing so. Even though she lost her last job because she disobeyed orders and listened to House, House convinces her that its ok because she saved a life. Having her on the team along with Park is a lot like the old team. Park is nerdy and shy just like Taub, and Adams is outgoing, rebellious, and hot just like 13.
The patient had the most generous heart that I have ever seen. He was willing to sacrifice his own wellbeing for the less fortunate. Surprisingly, this ended up in a separation between him and his wife because she wanted him to love her more than everyone else. In the end, his personality instantly transforms from very kind and generous to extremely creepy.
The scene where House persuades the man to give him one million dollars is very well written. House for once acts like a normal person would, shying around the topic of money while telling a sob story in order to actually receive it. Although his classic manipulation still shines through the facade.
Despite Wilson attempting to end his friendship with House in the previous episode, they remain friends and continue to engage in witty banter. The dialogue here is phenomenal and easily quotable.
Sadly, 13 has left the show to pursue her acting career in the film industry. It was a huge delight to have her in this episode to wrap up her character. At one point she says that she wants House in her life, which is something very rarely said to him. Because she is such a lovable character, I am sad to see her go, but she left in style unlike Kutner (who was written out of the show by suicide).
I seem to have a few problems with the show in general. One is that whenever the team of doctors does a simple test, something incredibly wrong happens. This always points their case in a new direction and creates confusion for everyone. Usually, the patient will seem to get better, until there is another problem followed by more confusion. Despite this flaw in almost every episode, I realize and support the fact that many people do not watch the show for the medical aspect, but for the relationships and dialogue that are associated with House M.D.
Favorite quotes of the episode:

-House
“I’m told... some people are just nice. I’m trying to embrace that wisdom.”
-House
“You know the down vibe in here is totally ruining my Charlie’s Angels fantasy. That haircut isn’t helping either.”
