Factual errors: Apparently the team immediately knew that Lou had secondary amyloidosis (amyloidosis caused by another condition or infection) as opposed to primary amyloidosis - which is what it's been every other time amyloidosis been mentioned on the show.

Quotes:

Dr. Allison Cameron: [about Wilson] You want me to sleep with him to get him to stay?
Dr. Gregory House: I put the bisexual chick on that. If you'd like to sit in, so to speak...

Wilson

Wilson announces his resignation and House spends the rest of the episode calling him an idiot. Cuddy plays therapist and makes House and Wilson sit in her office to hash things out. It doesn't work, of course. There's the usual sick patient of the week, but it doesn't hold a candle to the drama of Wilson's imminent departure. Lots of references to the departed Amber, maybe a few too many. Plus Amber's departure at the end of last season was overblown melodrama that is best forgotten. Not a particularly strong episode, all things considered. Methinks House has run its course. The next few weeks will tell.
