#34 - S2 E12: Distractions

Differential Diagnosis
About this episode

In the epilogue to the Stacey arc of the show, things are...well, business as usual. But that's kind of the point after all.

In Season 2, Episode 12, the episode aptly named Distractions is all about House distracting himself from his sudden breakup with Stacey. We'll talk about the lowkey epilogue to one of the show's biggest season arcs and how its subtly proves just why House MD is such a strong show when it comes to its writing and characters.

As always, we hope you enjoy and of course if you want to let us know what you think, then why not drop us a message at @HouseMDCast and let us know what you think.
