This episode of House starts out pretty much the same as any other. A patient comes in with a mysterious illness, and House and his team try to solve the mystery. In “House Divided” the patient is Seth, a teenager who has hearing loss, but is hearing loud explosions. They perform brain surgery on him, and they put a cochlear implant in Seth without his permission. After the surgery he starts having other problems, but before can they solve this puzzle though, there’s something else more pressing: Chase’s bachelor party.
House is determined to throw Chase a bachelor party for Chase and Cameron’s upcoming wedding, and this is what made “House Divided” one of my favorites. Throughout the episode he sends his team on errands for this party including Thirteen and Foreman going to pick out a stripper and the team tasting alcoholic ice cream. House also practices his shot making which backfires and sets a body in the morgue on fire.
Apparently House’s bachelor parties are epic (and maybe not in a good way) and Wilson tries to warn Chase. Wilson even says he will not be attending. Wilson doesn’t really have a choice though since the party is at his apartment. And within minutes of being there Wilson hits it off with the stripper from his bachelor party, Caramel.
At the end of the episode, House tells Cuddy he hasn’t slept since their former member, Kutner, died. Of course, that’s not the whole story. His insomnia is causing him to have visions of Amber. I had forgotten how creepy those were. At the bachelor party, after Chase has his allergic reaction to strawberries, House realizes that Amber is dangerous.
– It was hilarious that Wilson was caught by the police wandering around trying to find his way home. He was trying to find his way home from his home! So obviously he had fun at the bachelor party. Wonder how bad his hangover was the next day.
