I am a BIG fan of House.
Hugh Laurie is continually more nuanced than any actor on TV.
BUT the the performance of Winnick in her intimate dialogs in this episode with Laurie was more than stunning.
The character of House is completely challenged for the FIRST time.
First by actually feeling embarrassment for a patient who's medical problem includes forcible rape.
Then by caring so much that his made up finesse story is immediately challenged.
Although later it had some teeth.
The House character's success is tied to total insulation of his mind so as to not feel while caring quite brilliantly as a doctor for his patients.
Winnick's Eve indomitable aggressiveness really was the first equal to the House defenses.
She pushed and pushed and pushed through even the viewers' defenses.
This is the what, to the fans of Drama, is called WOW!! WHAT a pleasure!
On a side note: I thoroughly enjoyed the veteran character actor, Geoffrey Lewis, bring us the exquisite pain and sorrow of an old no-name guy letting go.
For fans of this episode you can't miss this YouTube.

You might dissolve into a fetal position when Eve decides to tell House .........as did I.
