New Faces: Amber Tamblyn
Where We Left Off: Last season, along with dealing with patients with inflicted with medical mysteries, House had to deal with his own psychosis due to overuse of pain killers. But his return to normalcy — or at least as normal as House can be — was threatened by his growing attraction for Dr. Lisa Cuddy even as she made plans for her wedding to someone else. In a wrenching final episode, House and Cuddy were lip-locked in a passionate embrace, and this time it is not a House hallucination.
What to Expect: Cuddy is a control freak, House is pure anarchy. Can a relationship so fire and water exist for long? Meanwhile, Amber Tamblyn guest stars as a brilliant medical student whom Dr. House hires to be part of his diagnostic team even though she is not qualified to practice medicine.
New Faces: Andre Braugher as psychiatrist Dr. Nolan
Where We Left Off: After the shocking death of Dr. Kutner, House's life began spinning out of control, causing him to hallucinate and lose faith in his own mental abilities. After a challenging and brief engagement, Cameron and Chase celebrated their wedding, Thirteen and Foreman continued their relationship, and new mother Cuddy learned that House hallucinated a physical relationship with her. As the season ended, House was forced to admit that he had lost his grip on reality and could no longer practice medicine. Out of options, he checked himself into a psychiatric hospital.
What to Expect: Mayfield Psychiatric Hospital is the setting for the two-hour season premiere, as House spars with Dr. Nolan about when he’ll be fit to return to work -- where Foreman (Omar Epps) is left in charge. The season premiere clip shows House with buzzed hair and a very bad attitude, which causes him to be hauled off by men in white outfits. The tag line: “What happens when the doctor becomes the patient?” Can House find some version of sanity and normalcy? Can he stay away from the workplace that arguably drove him to mental instability, but is also the only stable foundation in his life? How will Cuddy's relationship with House change now that their imagined affair is out in the open?
