Relation of Wilson and House are not the same as before after the demise of Amber. Cuddy still wants to be a mother. Thirteen has discovered that she has Huntington and her disease is getting stronger day by day. Kurtner’s unexpectedly attempts suicide. Cameron and Chase relationship has taken one step further.
The show has set almost impossibly high standards. It's never not watchable, but I couldn't escape the feeling that there were scenes missing from Tuesday's season opener.
Each time you think you know how House will react, Laurie and the writers take you to a deeper level - just as each time House thinks he's prepared for the worst, the even worse arrives.
