"This Week... Wilson embarks on a road trip with House while he awaits his diagnosis. Meanwhile, Chase faces a personal crisis when his old nemesis becomes the team&amp;#039;s latest patient... House Viewing... A brief cameo from Robocop star Peter Weller, an unusual montage following a corpse from theatre to morgue, and a medic - Dr Treiber (Jamie Elman) - slicing open his own face. As episode openings go, this one scores pretty high on the WTF scale. It transpires that Treiber has basically appointed himself the hospital equivalent of an internal affairs detective, and he has a particular vendetta against Chase (Jesse Spencer). But with House absent, the team must make their decisions alone and lie to their patient about who prescribed the treatment... It&amp;#039;s nothing new to see Chase showing signs of House&amp;#039;s influence, but with relatively little time left before this series bows out for good, could this actually be heading somewhere? In his frustration, Chase this week becomes more like his mentor than ever before, endorsing risky treatments and shutting down Adams&amp;#039;s protests. Treiber&amp;#039;s vendetta against the Aussie doc is made more interesting by the revelation that he was rejected from House&amp;#039;s original team almost ten years previously, in favour of Chase. The bitter Treiber attacks Chase for wasting his potential and falling behind his fellows.   Again, this all seems to be building to something, as Chase laments the fact that while Foreman is Dean of the hospital and Cameron has become head of emergency medicine in Chicago - a nice reference for long-time House fans - he has remained static... One of the most frustrating things about this final season of House has been the writers&amp;#039; refusal to change things up when the viewer knows that time is running increasingly short. Chase vowed to quit then backed down earlier this year, so it&amp;#039;s easy to be cynical when he makes that same declaration here. Foreman (Omar Epps) even makes that point for the audience - &amp;quot;He didn&amp;#039;t leave after he got stabbed in the heart - I think we&amp;#039;re okay&amp;quot; - and when Chase is eventually responsible for saving his nemesis Treiber, one might expect him to push forward with a renewed sense of purpose... But no - he does indeed quit, seemingly departing Princeton-Plainsboro for good after a couple of nicely-handled final scenes with Foreman and House. Let&amp;#039;s hope that Jesse Spencer plays some part in this show&amp;#039;s final two episodes. When he&amp;#039;s given meaty material to play, as here, he&amp;#039;s fantastic.  This episode&amp;#039;s second plot thread follows Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard), who is determined to embrace &amp;quot;selfishness&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;indifference&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;the shallow&amp;quot; as he waits the three days for his test results. But House (Hugh Laurie) doesn&amp;#039;t buy into his friend&amp;#039;s new carefree attitude.... Wilson embarks on a road trip, taking in a Man v Food-style eating challenge and even a &amp;quot;confusing&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;perfunctory&amp;quot; threesome, but his fun is interrupted by a metaphor about as subtle as a sledgehammer when a funeral procession literally drives in front of him... Soon, his fun-loving facade falls, and while this could all be rather trite and predictable, Robert Sean Leonard is a talented-enough actor to make you care about Wilson&amp;#039;s emotional ups and downs. And once again, despite his constant jibes, House is there to support his friend when he really needs it.  Overall, &amp;#039;Post Mortem&amp;#039; is another cracking episode of House - an improvement even on last week&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;The C Word&amp;#039;. It&amp;#039;s just a shame that the show has found its form with a mere two episodes left... Oh, and that final scene, in which Wilson&amp;#039;s new diagnosis goes unsaid? Talk about a cruel cliffhanger! Let us know what you thought of this week&amp;#039;s House below! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
