House is at its best when it’s an equal measure of personal stories and medical ones. Which means that “Savior” isn’t one of the better episodes. There’s a lot more personal in this one.

The action starts with the usually House fake out — environmental demonstrators are chained to a tractor that is tearing down a mountain when one of the women chained passes out.

I love House, even though it is so formulaic that I probably could write an episode. Blindfolded. With one hand behind my back. You get the idea.

That’s what makes this episode great — it’s a small break from the House formula.

I’m frightened because my cat is looking at me in a very strange way. Normally, that wouldn’t scare me, but last night I learned all about The Cat of Death (AKA Death Kitty), a feline version of a fatality Geiger counter.

I think I’m safe. For now.
