ReZoom

A guy who gets beat up by thugs comes into the hospital with breathing troubles. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Things get really weird when he starts mimicking anyone who’s nearby. Well, weird for any place other than Princeton-Plainsboro Hospital, where weird is the new normal.

Foreman, recently fired from Mercy Hospital in NYC, comes back to work for House. Oh joy. Only now he’s sort of House’s boss, as designated by Cuddy. Foreman’s not happy about it, but no one else will hire him. House isn’t happy either, but then, when is he EVER happy?

Instead of torturing Foreman, House decides to have some fun with Cuddy. First up, scaring all the people in the cafeteria into thinking they have a bad-mayo-related illness. Ok, no one else on the planet would get away with stuff like this. Even House isn’t that good.

Cuddy reciprocates by stealing all House’s interns – a.k.a. the ducklings – and putting them to work in the clinic. What are they, in third grade?

In between stitching up wounds and diagnosing heart attacks, the ducklings try and figure out what’s up with Mimic Guy, who not only copies everyone around him, but is also developing a weird skin thing that makes him look like the Incredible Hulk.

The ducklings do the usual round of tests, ultrasounds, spinal taps, injections, etc., and of course, he passes out at one point and they scurry around to bring him back. One duckling nearly electrocutes himself by using paddles on the guy directly out of a water bath. Even I know that’s a death wish.

After House goes through his personal belongings, he figures out the guy sells pigs and pig-equipment and has some sort of swine-type infection.

Meanwhile, Cameron is still working happily away in the E.R., and Chase is lurking around, taking bets on this and that.

This episode pretty much flatlined for me.
