The Dark Genius: Exploring the Psychological Complexity of Dr. Gregory House in Season 4

Title:

The Last Variable

• Season: 4
• Episodes: 16
• Original US broadcast: Sept 16, 2007 – May 19, 2008
• Main premise: Following the fallout of Season 3, Dr. Gregory House must rebuild his diagnostic team; the season centers on a televised hiring competition House runs to replace his former fellows, plus the medical cases that test House and the temporary hires.

• “Alone” – House, without a team, treats a catatonic patient while hallucinating his old team. Brilliant, lonely, cruel.
• “The Right Stuff” – 40 applicants compete. The show parodies Top Model / Apprentice.
• Elimination highlights – “97 Seconds” (House briefly dies), “Mirror Mirror” (a patient mirrors whoever he looks at – a metaphor for House’s own lack of identity).
