Love Hurts

It's a Tic Tac world! I just couldn't get into this one. First of all, the guy who is sick has connection with a dominatrix. She strangles him--to a point and dominate his life. He is very strange. The whole thing is so bizarre that it never concerned me.

The secondary plot (or maybe the primary) is the big date with Cameron. House wants to know why she is interested in him, considering all his negative attributes. They talk Freud and he puts forth his belief. We are left hanging but the date is very difficult to watch.

A third little plot involves two older people who are having sexual issues. The only interesting thing about it is that Peter Graves plays one of them and House gives them Tic Tacs instead of Viagra.

John Cho plays a masochistic soul suffering from a series of strokes. House and crew suspect the choking he regularly gets from his very attractive if slightly creepy dominatrix companion may be causing his problems. The answer lies elsewhere, sort of. Cho is very convincing as a sad sack who can't live without being told what to do. Peter Graves does a clever turn as a man on Viagra who is conflicted about his renewed vigor. His role is more of a cameo than a real part, but his brief appearance ends with one heck of a punch line that even House could not see coming. Lots of other fun stuff happens in this episode. And of course Cameron is back big time. By now, House has convinced Cameron her adoration of him is misguided. What a show!

Cameron and House? This must be the Bizarro World episode of House. In what reality would Cameron be interested in House? Cuddy maybe, but Cameron? Oh come on.
