House Season3 EP19

Act Your Age

Episode 319 : 2007-04-17

An 8-year old boy named Jasper gets a bloody nose at day care. His father Deran arrives and learns that Jasper was involved in a fight. The teacher seems concerned about the blood that has been flowing for ten minutes, but Deran remarks that this isn't Jasper first nosebleed. Deran then turns to see his daughter Lucy on the floor of the day care. She is gasping for breath.
Later, Cuddy presents House with Lucy's file and declares constrictive pericaditis, an affliction usually found in much older people. The girl is in surgery. House throws the file at his team, tells them to check for sarcoidosis, amyloidosis and hemochromatosis. He then leaves for the night.

Having stayed up all night, Foreman and Cameron inform House that all of the tests were negative. Chase went home for a full night's sleep because he figured the tests would be negative. He comes in that morning with the pathology report. They found granulomas in Lucy's pericardium, which indicates a fungal infection. House orders Cameron and Chase to biopsy a lymph node. They must do it together.

Chase and Cameron begin the biopsy. During the procedure, Deran reveals that their mother died last year of brain cancer. Jasper begins flirting with Cameron. Lucy asks for her bunny, but when Cameron tries to hand it to her, she just flails at it. Lucy says she didn't know which bunny to grab.

Cameron tells House that the girl's double vision led them to a slit lamp test, which showed that the eye's anterior chamber is swollen. This is a sign of uveitis. Chase announces that the lymph node biopsy was clean. Foreman declares that vision issues plus heart troubles most likely equal autoimmune disease. House asks if Lucy's knees are scraped up. Most 6-year olds like to play outside, but Lucy doesn't. Is that because running around hurts Lucy's joints?

Foreman informs Deran that the doctors suspect Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis. Fortunately, they caught it early, which gives the best chance for a good outcome. Lucy then sits up in bed. Her left eyelid and left side of her mouth droop. Foreman recognizes a stroke.

The stroke was caused by a blood clot in the middle cerebral artery. Cameron brings up polycythemia, or thick blood. House realizes that thick blood would possibly explain the stroke and the autoimmune response. A lack of oxygen would cause overproduction of red blood cells, which thickens the blood. House tells Chase and Cameron to check out the family home for possible environmental causes. Cameron snaps about being punished by forcing them to work together. House says he'll be happy to fire one of them if they can't get along.

As Chase and Cameron head out, Jasper runs up with a bouquet of flowers for Cameron. He stole the flowers from a family with a newborn. Cameron takes one flower and kisses Jasper on the cheek before sending him back. Elsewhere, Foreman drains blood from Lucy to help the flow and reduce the chances of another stroke.

Inspecting the home, Chase finds multiple letters from school about Jasper getting in fights. Searching Lucy's bedroom directly above the garage, Cameron finds a vent under the bed. She and Chase check inside and find a child's t-shirt stained with blood.

Cameron tells the team that she suspects Deran is abusing Lucy. House is upset mainly because they need to spend a day figuring out if this is abuse or a relevant symptom to Lucy's case. Foreman bluntly asks Deran if he's abusing his daughter, showing him the t-shirt. Deran angrily denies it, but Foreman gives him two choices. He can either consent to the exam or the hospital will call social services, who will force him to consent.

Cameron performs a full physical check on Lucy, including a vaginal exam. To her shock, Cameron finds cuts all over Lucy's genital area. They are almost like slices. Some are almost healed but some are fresh. However, the cuts are not deep enough to account for all of the blood on the t-shirt. There also isn't any vaginal tearing. Foreman wonders if the blood on the shirt isn't Lucy's.

Lucy's blood is tested and contained endometrial cells. Another test showed that it was definitely her blood on the shirt. Six-year old Lucy had menstrual blood and has started puberty. Cameron explains the diagnosis to a stunned Deran. Excess sex hormones can confuse a body, leading it to blossom prematurely.

The team figures that a pituitary adenoma is spiking Lucy's hormone level. House instructs them to look for a tumor in her brain. If it's not there, it's probably in the reproductive tract. They are to start from the top and work down. Cameron, arguing that it could be hormonal additives in the chicken fingers and milk Lucy lives on, is going to check for estrogen. The MRI reveals a solid tumor on Lucy's left ovary.

A worried Wilson catches up with House. He took Cuddy to a play that House gave him two tickets for. Now Cuddy has sent Wilson thank you flowers with a card saying they should do it again soon. Wilson is panicking that House was right. Men and women can't be friends and nobody goes to a play platonically. After Wilson runs off, House smiles at Cuddy and tells her he sent Wilson some flowers.

Jasper finds Cameron in the hallways and asks if Chase is her boyfriend. If he isn't, then Jasper wants to be. Cameron walks him back to his father and he grabs her rear.

Foreman and Chase perform a laproscopic biopsy on Lucy when she crashes. Foreman has to shock her back to life. The biopsy shows that the supposed tumor is actually a benign cyst. Cameron gloats that her suspicion of hormones in Lucy's environment must be the right direction.

Late that night, Chase and Cameron are grabbing some coffee when he says she must have feelings for him. He tenderly grabs her arm. Suddenly, Jasper comes running in screaming that he'll kill Chase if he touches Cameron. He bites Chase. The doctors call House to tell him what happened. House realizes that Jasper is out of control aggressive, and the cause is probably extra hormones. Whatever Lucy has, Jasper has it too.

A test shows that Jasper has 100 times the testosterone of a normal 8-year old. The team hasn't found any hormone-secreting tumors in his body. Chase raises the issues of genetics. A brain tumor killed the mother, so perhaps the kids have one too. As Foreman performs a bleed on Jasper, Lucy begins crying out that her stomach hurts. A new MRI reveals a cyst in Lucy's pancreas, two more in her kidneys and one in her lungs. They weren't present 48 hours ago.

Chase learns that the mother was perfectly healthy until she got cancer. Genetic causes are thrown out. Environmental causes have already been thrown out. Cameron insists that it has to be a pituitary adenoma, even though a scan has yet to reveal one. They should remove the pituitary gland. House says no, but Cameron argues that this is exactly how he does things. They've eliminated every other answer. Brain surgery is all that's left.

Cameron presents Deran with the options, pressing for surgery. House appears and attempts to submarine Cameron's efforts, arguing that they don't really know what's happening yet. Cameron presses about environmental causes, but the only possible option is that they both attend the same daycare. However, Deran points out that none of the other children are sick. He signs the consent form. House asks the man how he knows the other children are healthy if he's been in the hospital for the past four days.

House visits the daycare and accuses the supervisor, Janie, of dating Deran. She admits that she is, but stresses that she's never been to the home. House stares at her, noticing a red rash on her upper lip. She confesses to having a mustache wax over lunch. House calls the hospital and tells them the cause is Deran.

House returns to the hospital to confront Deran, who says Janie is so much younger than him and he has trouble keeping up. He's been using a male enhancement cream, which House points out is loaded with testosterone. Every time he hugged the kids, they received some of the testosterone Deran was excreting through his skin. If he stops using the cream, Lucy and Jasper will be fine.

That night, Wilson comes into House's office, still in angst over the flowers. Wilson wonders if this is worth exploring. He decides to march down to Cuddy's office and, without a word, kiss her. House encourages the bold move. Wilson leaves, and after a moment, bursts back into House's office, enraged that he was going to let him go through with that. He knows House sent the flowers.

House and Cuddy watch as Deran leads Lucy and Jasper out of the hospital. Cuddy laments the freakish nature of the kids' problem, wondering why it's so hard for people to find a suitable mate. House looks at her and then mentions that he has two tickets to a play.

第19集（S3EP19:Act Your Age）
1.House: Round up the usual suspects.
HOUSE：圍捕疑犯。
2分54秒，House讓手下做對所有可能的病因做一系列測試。這句比喻出自1942年經典電影《卡薩布蘭卡》（"Casablanca"），在片尾部分，當員警趕到時，警長雷諾（Captain Renault）對手下所說的這句話——Round up the usual suspects（圍捕疑犯）——救了男主角Rick的性命。

2.House: Dig out a merck manual...
HOUSE：翻翻《默克手冊》...
10分34秒House提到的《默克手冊》，全稱為《默克診療手冊》（"The Merck Manual of Diagnosis and Therapy），是世界上銷量最高的醫療手冊，由默克公司（Merck & Co., Inc.）出版，該公司還出版過《默克家庭醫學手冊》（The Merck Manual(Home edition)）、《默克老年健康手冊》（The Merck Manual of Health & Aging）、《默克老年醫學手冊》（The Merck Manual of Geriatrics）等一些列相關醫療書籍。

3.House: unless you woke up looking like yosemite sam
HOUSE：除非你醒來的時候（發現自己）看上去像Yosemite Sam。
36分33秒，House發現幼稚園女教師長鬍子了，於是提到了一個卡通形象：Yosemite Sam。這個名字你可能沒有聽過，但是如果你看過華納公司出品的卡通片的話，那麼相信你看到這個卡通形象時是能夠認出來的。這裡有張他的圖片。這個最早出現在華納公司“樂一通”系列（Looney Tunes，這個系列中的其他“名人”還有兔八哥，達菲鴨，小豬獵人Elmer Fudd等，大叔在第一季第四集中曾模仿過小豬獵人的口音）的矮個紅鬍子強盜，據說名字的由來是來自美國加利福尼亞州的優山美地國家公園（Yosemite National Park）。這個傢伙在一些卡通裡還有好幾個化名：Chilico Sam、Riff Raff Sam、Sam Schulz、Seagoin’ Sam、Shanghai Sam。

4.House: Jack waters his bean stalk every day for a week. He’s oozing bean curd out of his pores for a month.
HOUSE：傑克一周內每天都給他的仙豆澆水，（那麼）他的毛孔連續一個月都會流出豆腐來。
37分35秒，House告訴孩子父親Deran，身體產生的廢物會從毛孔排除。他提到的傑克和仙豆出自著名的西方童話。這個童話有許多個版本，其中最著名的是《傑克與仙豆》（"Jack and the Beanstalk"）和《傑克與巨人》（"Jack the Giant Killer），講述的是
一個窮小子傑克在去市集賣牛的路上，碰到一個陌生人用5粒魔豆換走了他家最後的一頭牛。回家後傑克的母親大怒，將豆子丟出門外，誰料豆子在一夜之間發芽。傑克不斷給其澆水，最後豆莖直達雲霄。傑克於是順豆莖爬上天去，闖進了巨人的家。巨人立刻聞到了活人的味道並要吃了他，但被巨人妻子所救。在傑克逃離的過程中，他偷走了一些金幣。後來傑克再次上天並偷走了一隻會下金蛋的雞。第三次傑克上天打算偷一個會唱歌的魔琴，然而魔琴卻招來了巨人。傑克順著豆莖往下爬，在巨人到達地面前用斧頭將魔豆豆莖砍斷。
這個童話最早出自何人已經無從考證了，作者被認為是英國人或德國人，最早的記錄為1807年的書籍《傑克和魔豆的故事》上。

The Celebrity Apprentice Season2 EP10

Episode 810 | Season 8 | 05/03/2009
Clint, as the leader of last week's winning effort, is ecstatic to be able to present a check for $20,000 to his brother Kevin, who works with the International Rett Syndrome Foundation. The charity focuses on finding a cure for the devastating nuero-developmental disorder, which took Kevin's daughter (Clint's niece) at age 16. They share a warm, tearful hug.

 

 

 

The remaining contestants (Clint, Jesse, Annie, and Brande) gather in Trump Tower. Mr. Trump arrives with his daughter and son; everyone wonders if Joan will return. As Trump is greeting the celebs, Joan arrives, claiming her taxi was late. Trump is pleased. Joan explains, "My team should not suffer because of something that's personal. So I came back to win."

 

 

 

Trump introduces the task: creating a new radio ad for Chicken of the Sea tuna. The company execs explain that the ad will be 60 seconds, with half made up of spoken messaging and the rest incorporating lyrics from the firm's famous "Ask any mermaid..." existing jingle. Team Athena (Brande and Annie) realize that they're at a real disadvantage: Clint Black is a Grammy nominee for songwriting and has recorded over 100 songs professionally. Naturally, Clint will be the project manager for KOTU (consisting of Clint, Jesse, and Joan), while Annie will manage Brande as team Athena.

 

Annie and Brande are anxious -- neither of them are musically inclined. But they're diligent and they begin researching the product online. They meet with the executives and find out the key three words they see for the product are natural, healthy, and convenient. The execs leave and Brande and Annie head immediately over to the recording studio, where they'll have to conceive, write, and produce a new jingle and ad. They struggle to compose and sing as they ride in the van. It's clear it's going to be a huge challenge for them.

 

 

Clint takes charge of KOTU. He's truly in his element, but attempts to be inclusive of Joan and Jesse by soliciting ideas. Once in the familiar confines of the recording studio, Clint heads off on his own to begin reworking the jingle; Joan and Jesse begin work on the spot's messaging. Later, they reunite and Joan and Jesse are mightily impressed with Clint's work. "It was a magical moment," Joan says. As Clint leads the band through his composition, Jesse and Joan lobby to record a version with a quicker musical pace. Clint, though he prefers a lazier pace, goes along, in the spirit of cooperation. Ivanka checks in and likes the song, but expresses some concern as whether it'll meet the contemporary feel the execs are after.

 

At the recording studio, Brande and Annie give it their best. Donald, Jr. shows up and they admit to him that they're struggling. They're still feeling the pressure of knowing that KOTU has Clint. They press on, struggling to get the messaging into an engaging 30-second spot. Brande and a voice actor record the brand messaging portion -- posing as two moms. Next it's time for Annie to work with a jingle composer. She candidly admits that she almost always feels like she can do anything, but she's really doubting her ability this time.

 

 

KOTU brings in two voice-over actors to record the non-jingle portion of the commercial. Clint's conceived of a fast-paced, game show-type script, to add some humor and energy as a counterpoint to his relaxed jingle. But the voice actors can't bring it to life. As a courtesy, Joan asks that they record the actors' work, but then she and Jesse step up the mikes to record the actual tracks.

 

 

As they start to assemble the full commercial, Joan feels like their spot is critically lacking comedy. She makes some suggestions for injecting some chicken sound effects at the end, but Clint's not buying. Rejected and dejected, Joan complains to Jesse, but accepts that Clint, as project manager, makes the calls.

 

 

 

Annie's jingle starts to come together. Professional singers and session players are brought in to flesh it out. Brande's impressed -- and so is Annie. "Clint Black may beat us, but I wrote a song today. And that's a high point of my life."

 

 

 

Presentation day arrives. Both teams will unveil their spots -- live -- to the Chicken of the Sea execs. Athena is first; Annie is clearly excited and proud of her work. She explains how and why she feels their jingle and commercial reflect the brand requirements. She introduces her singer, who performs the jingle with aplomb. The execs look pleased.

 

 

 

Clint leads the presentation for KOTU. He brings a handful of backing singers to accompany him as he performs his jingle live for the execs. The lilting take on the classic jingle is really polished and lush. The execs sit rapt, but don't seem to be smiling as much as they did during Athena's pitch.

 

 

 

The teams are summoned to the boardroom. Donald quizzes Clint on how he did; Clint's feeling very proud, but admits that the voice-over part took some risks with its broad comedy. Joan agrees. Turning to Athena, Annie is also proud. She knows they were at a great disadvantage, but she still feels very proud of their effort, both the musical and spoken parts. Trump has them perform their jingle in the boardroom. Though the girls can't really sing, they're still caught up in the catchiness of their song and clearly are having fun singing along to it. Trump asks KOTU their opinion of Athena's effort and they're polite, but feel theirs is superior. The teams listen to the other spot and everyone is really impressed, even Mr. Trump.

 

Trump asks Donald Jr. what the Chicken of the Sea executives thought of the Athena effort. They liked it, thought it hit most of the points and was solid, though it failed to mention that the product is available in pouches. Ivanka reports on how KOTU's ad was received: great performance, nice focus on the natural and healthy aspects of the product. They also liked the humor in the spoken portion. But on the negative side, they felt the spot missed out on the convenience message and -- most significantly -- they felt the country music style approach would limit the spot's appeal. They prefer Athena's!

 

Back in their suite, Annie and Brande can't believe their good fortune. Annie in particular is amazed. "I just beat Clint Black in a song-writing contest!" she gushes.

 

 

 

 

Mr. Trump quizzes Joan, Clint, and Jesse on why they think they lost. Clint explains that he knew they were taking a risk, but went with it. Joan felt it needed more humor and a punchline; Jesse felt it could have been snappier. The Trumps weigh in on what might have doomed KOTU's effort: not enough product mentions, too slow of a pace, the country feel. Everyone agrees that it's clear who should be fired: Clint's the responsible party. "I loved your jingle, " Trump says, "But Clint, you're fired." Gracious and humble, Clint thanks everyone and takes his leave.

 

 

The final four meet outside the boardroom. Jesse congratulates Annie and Brande, who are still dumbfounded that they won. Joan is an ice queen, glaring and not speaking a word. She leaves. "It's like a cancer left the room," Annie tells the interviewer.

 

 

 

In a surprise move, Trump summons the final four back to the boardroom. He tells them that there's to be no respite: tonight he will fire two more players. They'll each be interviewed by last year's winner, Piers Morgan, who will make a recommendation to Mr. Trump as to who the two finalists should be. The remaining celebs look exhausted and tense.

 

 

 

Piers begins his inquiry; first victim: Brande Roderick. He tells her she's been characterized by others as a nice person, but not especially bright. She's somewhat taken aback and recalls Joan's insult that she's a "stupid blonde." But she stands strong, "I know I'm bright." But when Piers reports back to Mr. Trump, he asserts that she's simply not smart enough. "You'd be doing a great disservice to the show," to name her a finalist, Piers tells him.

 

 

Piers examines Joan. He describes her as complicated. In his interview with her, he accuses her of being a quitter, which she denies. He accuses her of being principled only as it applies to her daughter. Joan explains that her family comes first. The discussion turns to her treatment of Annie; Joan pulls no punches. Piers asks her if she regrets comparing Annie to Hitler. Joan says yes, "because Annie doesn't have a mustache. I should have compared her to Eva Braun." They both laugh. Asked how committed she is, Joan's eyes harden into a stare. "I will kill to win."

 

 

Piers interviews Annie. She explains that her poker background is what makes her such a great game player. She reveals that Joan's digs don't bother her, though she finds it odd that she made it so personal. She's proud that she's raised so much money and found it odd that her teammates would choose her to project manage any other fundraising tasks, given her prowess, but hey did. "They just don't understand the game," she tells Piers.

 

 

Piers meets Jesse and tells him he just can't figure him out. Jesse tells him he's in the game to prove that regular working class people can compete with people in suits. Piers probes him on the issue of his not tapping the wealthy connections of his wife (actress Sandra Bullock) for his tasks. He demurs, "I keep my life with my wife my life with my wife." When Piers tells him that the game is mainly about raising money, Jesse disagrees -- he says it's about getting the job done and not infighting.

 

 

The remaining four return to the boardroom for final questioning by Mr. Trump. Asked why she should be chosen, Annie boasts that she's raised the most money and that she's never been back to the boardroom. Of the remaining finalists she'd most prefer to face Joan, 'cause she knows she can beat her. He turns to Brande, asking her if she can beat Annie Duke. She claims she's the only one who can beat her. Joan disagrees, saying Brande's completely unaware, that she's been riding Annie's coattails the whole way. Trump adds that Piers Morgan thinks it'd be an embarrassment to the show if Brande was a finalist, because she's just not smart enough. Trump disagrees, but doesn't think she's got what it'll take to win -- Brande is out!

Trump puts Joan and Jesse in the spotlight. He questions whether Joan's got the stamina. She says she's got enormous energy and she's very driven to win because she's very attached to her charity God's Love Delivered. Mr. Trump asks Jesse why he should keep him over Joan or Annie. He responds that, unlike the two women, he's just a regular guy with a working class background. Asked point blank whether he'd tap his wife and friends to come in with big donations at the final fundraiser, James is noncommittal. "I'll cross that bridge when I come to it," he tells the room. Trump doesn't like the fact that Jesse won't commit -- he fires him.

 

Realizing that they're the two finalists, the women are unsparing in their contempt for each other. "Now it's personal," Annie announces. Trump tells them to go home and get some rest. It'll be a battle to the death.

 

 

 

 

 

第二季已經接近尾聲，最後五強出來，Joan在最後關頭返回比賽。最後五強正式到位。

Clint 代表的the International Rett Syndrome Foundation贏得了2萬美金。我相信這個基金會會有效利用這筆錢。最後有幾幕真的滿感人的。

這集的任務是 creating a new radio ad for Chicken of the Sea tuna。作一首30秒的主題曲，並要加入舊主題曲元素，之後再進行30秒廣告，由高層決定是為優勝者。

很明顯的 Clint 一位葛萊美獎得主，佔盡所有優勢，KOTU決定由他當Leader，而Athena 則是 Annie。

Clint一頭只想著音樂，最所有力氣想把音樂做好，有關音樂的一切他自己做決定，另外兩位的意見他幾乎沒聽，也因此埋下了失敗的導火線。

Annie 雖然完全不懂音樂，只好靠自己哼哼唱唱，把整首音樂做出來。

兩首曲子完全不同方向，Annie 輕快，朗朗上口。 Clint 優雅，悠閒，讓人放輕鬆。

最後高層選擇了Annie。 我覺得他們是對的，主題曲就是要朗朗上口，那種優閒類似古典或者鄉村的音樂並不適合。

結果一個完全不懂音樂的媽媽打敗了一位葛萊美獎得主。

所以Clint被Fire 是遲早的事。

Clint 離開後剩下四位，馬上進行面試，選取最後兩位。面試的是上季的學徒--Piers Morgan。

Piers Morgan 最後向Trump 推薦兩位，分別是Annie和 Joan。

Brande根本就沒實力，是一個繡花枕頭包，沒進決選不意外，而Jesse不善於表達自己，使他無法進入決賽，真的很可惜。

最後就是看Annie V.S. Joan。

我完全支持Joan，因為Annie很自我，沒法跟別人合作。很多人說他跟Piers Morgan一樣，為了獲勝不惜一切，但我覺得差很多，就算兩位都是吸金者，但Piers Morgan不會那麼自我，還懂得什麼是隊伍，團體組織，相反的，Annie眼中就只有他自己，這種吸金者，非常讓人討厭。

最後，加油，Joan，發揮你的幽默感，打敗希特勒~~~

House Season3 EP18

Airborne

Episode 318 : 2007-04-10

Fran is a seemingly conservative, middle-aged woman. She collects porcelain figurines and wears a cable-knit sweater. Fran welcomes a woman named Robin into her home. Robin is a prostitute. When Fran sees the woman's revealing outfit, she becomes dizzy and faints. Robin calls an ambulance.

As Robin stands nearby, Wilson examines Fran. He finds a motion sickness patch on her neck. Fran assumes that she forgot to take it off after a trip to see her sister in Duluth. Wilson informs her that scopolamine can cause dizziness and blurred vision, and the blackout most likely occurred when she conked her head on the floor. As she is being discharged, Fran falls to the floor in a seizure.

After she is readmitted, Wilson notices a fresh tattoo on Fran's leg. He questions whether she really went to Duluth. Fran confesses that, when she recently turned the same age her mother died at, she decided on a whim to visit Caracas. While there, she got a tattoo, drank, partied and had sex with a stranger.

Wilson presents Chase, Cameron and Foreman with Fran's new case study and a litany of potential diseases. Wilson orders them to get a tox screen, chem 20, STD panel, blood cultures, a CT scan and to also check Fran's house for possible environmental causes.

Meanwhile, House is wheeled onto an airplane in Singapore with Cuddy. His vinter's cane -- which hides a corkscrew -- was confiscated by security. Cuddy laments the incredible room charges House accumulated in a Singapore hotel. He defends himself by explaining that she shouldn't have dragged him across the globe simply for a three-minute speech, even though it acquired Princeton-Plainsboro WHO accreditation.

On the flight, the man across from House seems ill. The man named Peng groans and then vomits on his food. Keo, the flight attendant, asks if anybody speaks Korean or is a doctor. House gets up, and then walks to the back of the plane to get Cuddy.

Cuddy is worried that Peng is suffering from meningococcus. The whole plane could end up infected and she thinks they need to turn around immediately. House, having noticed Peng's medic alert bracelet, passes it off as a mere allergic reaction. Moments later, another passenger named Joy starts to vomit. House figures it was just the smell of Peng's vomit that made her sick. Yet when he lifts up Joy's shirt, he sees that her back is covered with the same nasty rash that plagued Peng. House becomes officially concerned.

House heads to the front of the cabin and begins writing various symptoms on the movie screen as if it was his white board. Cuddy informs House that the plane has passed the halfway mark, and they are now at least six hours from landing. House asks Keo about the dinner menu. Peng had eaten sea bass and Joy had seafood kabobs, which contained sea bass. House declares that they are suffering from ciguatera poisoning, which is an instant-onset toxin claiming all of the symptoms House scribbled on the board. House gets on the PA system and asks everybody who had the sea bass to go into the bathrooms and vomit as soon as possible because it should keep the effects of the toxin to a minimum. Cuddy then whispers to House that meningococcus still makes just as much sense. House admits that she's right.

Peng's health worsens. If they soon start seeing neurological symptoms, they will all be in trouble. Testing for ataxia, House indicates to Peng that he should stand up and walk toward him. Peng's legs lock and he falls to the ground.

House examines Peng's leg and sees that it's thin, probably from a recent break. He declares that Peng has radiation poisoning from the x-rays. He tells Joy that she's pregnant. All of the symptoms fit both diagnoses. Suddenly, Cuddy doubles over and vomits. House finds a fierce rash on her back as well. She didn't even have the fish.

Back in Princeton, the team comes up with negative results for all of Fran's tests. However, her seizures have slowed since the doctors put a motion sickness patch back on. They were concerned the scopolamine was controlling her symptoms. Wilson realizes that she is suffering from breast cancer. Since she was on vacation, he assumed that Fran had an exotic problem. But the inflammation triggered by the paraneoplastic syndrome caused by cancer can be reduced by the anticholinergics found in motion sickness patches.

Cameron performs a mammogram on Fran when she begins blinking. She can't see out of her right eye. The doctors perform a Visual Evoked Response test with a dozen electrical anodes attached to Fran's forehead. Various patterns shine on a screen in front of her.

In the skies at the same time, House shines a flashlight in Cuddy's face. Agitated, she waves the light away, then declares she has photophobia, a symptom of meningitis. Keo comes into the cabin with word that three more passengers are sick. House walks through the cabin with a young patient in an attempt to collect any medications that passengers might be carrying.

In the hospital, Foreman and Cameron note a spike on Fran's EEG in her left eye. She falls into a coma. The team bickers about how to proceed. Foreman insists she has a cranial bleed that the CT missed and that they need to create a burr hole immediately to relieve the pressure. Cameron, doubtful the test would miss it, suggests an LP to confirm the presence of red blood cells. She asks Chase what he thinks and he agrees with her. Foreman rolls his eyes, growing tired of their relationship causing Chase to always agree with Cameron. Wilson decides to play it safe and go with the LP first.

Cameron and Chase prepare Fran for the LP. House is preparing to do the same on Peng, but with much more meager supplies. A syringe with plunger removed, a plastic shot glass and an alcohol swab. The needles are inserted in each patient's back. House collects the liquid that drains out in a shot glass. Chase does the same, only into a sterile test tube.

House hasn't found much in his pill collection, but there are three tablets of augmentin. Cuddy wants them given to Peng because he's in the worst shape, but House reminds her that he's allergic to penicillin. If he has a reaction, he dies and they've wasted the pills. House then realizes that Cuddy is right.

House studies the liquid from Peng's spinal column and his face drops. Ignoring Cuddy's frantic pleas to know what it is, House heads to the main cabin and informs the passengers that they have a confirmed case of bacterial meningitis. Peng will not survive and it's likely that several others have also been infected. Anybody who feels the various symptoms needs to come to the first class cabin for isolation. The passengers start to panic. House warns them that they all don't actually have meningitis, but are merely suffering from mass hysteria.

He pleads for everybody to calm down so that their imagined symptoms will soon disappear. House returns to the first-class cabin and tells Cuddy that the clear LP fluid confirmed his thoughts. Her rage, a symptom of mass hysteria, gave rise to a new theory. However, Peng is still dying and House has absolutely no idea why.

House scribbles new symptoms down on the movie screen and convenes three passengers to play the roles of Foreman, Chase and Cameron and run through the differential with him. Cuddy mentions syphilis. Thinking of condoms makes House realize Peng has focal limb paralysis. Peng may have swallowed cocaine-filled condoms as a courier, and the drug might be spreading through his digestive tract. They need to operate.

In order to perform surgery on Peng, House asks if any passengers snuck a knife on board. A man reluctantly admits that he has a ceramic knife which wasn't sensed by the metal detectors. House's new team helps pin Peng to the floor as he prepares a pair of gloves, three plastic spoons, four alcohol wipes, a small pair of pliers and a sewing kit.

The 12-year old boy assisting House presses down on Peng's shoulder, which seems to relieve the patient's pain. Noticing that pressure on Peng's joints relieves pain, House realizes he's wrong about the cocaine. They need to find Peng's wallet.

House uncovers what he's looking for in the wallet -- a receipt from a scuba rental shop. Peng has the bends. They need the pilot to descend under 5,000 feet as quickly as possible and drop the oxygen masks.

Back in the hospital, Fran is wheeled into surgery with her head shaved. Chase and Cameron watch from another room. He thinks their relationship is actually affecting their work. They even had sex in Fran's bedroom while checking for environmental causes. Cameron mocks Chase for being worried about Fran's cat watching them. This triggers a revelation for Chase. Fran hasn't eaten anything since entering the hospital. He rushes off.

Chase re-inspects Fran's home. The cat is now dead, although its food bowl is still full. The surgery team prepares to drill into Fran's head and Foreman peels back a section of her scalp, exposing the skull. In Fran's driveway, Chase finds a pipe that leads to the house next door. Tacked to the front door of the next house is a notice that the place has been fumigated with methyl bromide. Chase quickly calls the hospital and tells them to stop surgery.

The doctors explain to Fran that fifty years ago, her home was one estate. The two homes shared an electrical system. Unfortunately, the exterminator didn't realize that. When it was fumigated, the poison gas flowed through the electrical conduit into her home. She will need to stay in the hospital for a few more days, but ultimately she'll be fine.

The flight finally touches down in New York. Keo slyly lets House know that she is in New York every Monday.

Wilson calls the prostitute Robin to let her know that Fran will be fine. Then he asks if she might be coming back to visit.

As they leave the hospital that night, Chase tells Cameron that he wants their relationship to be a little more normal. He doesn't want simple sex any more. Cameron reminds him that's what he signed up for originally. If he's no longer game, it's over.

第18集（S3EP18:Airborne）
這集隱喻不多，不過有好多場景很搞笑。而且劇情很不錯，2跳線交錯，鏡頭剪的也很好。最後Cameron和Chase似乎要分了，而Wilson似乎又想開始令一段感情了-__-b

1.Fran: I had sex with el gordo.
Fran：我和一個大胖子做愛了
6分51秒，el gordo，西班牙語，大胖子的意思。

2.Stewardess: "Nilalagnat ka ba?"
空中小姐：你發燒了？
8分04秒，光頭佬說的是韓語沒錯，而空姐開頭詢問的卻是用的菲律賓語，意思是"Are you suffering from a fever?"。因此後面才有發現對方是韓國人後，向乘客詢問飛機上是否有韓國人。

3.House: medic alert bracelet on his left wrist
HOUSE：左手手腕戴有醫學警示手環
11分01秒， medic alert tag 醫學警示標牌。
吊在手環或者項鍊上的標牌, 記錄佩戴人嚴重的病情或特殊身體狀況, 用來提醒急救醫護人員和員警等. 以防佩戴人在語言不通, 昏迷或年老思路不清的情況下, 無法及時表述. 此類的症狀包括I型糖尿病, 過敏症, 體內植有起搏器, 腎上腺功能不全等. 目前的潮流有用USB記憶體取代傳統吊牌, 因為可以存貯更多的資訊.
以上引自clala的校對筆記。

4.House: Monkey see, monkey barf.
HOUSE：猴子看見（別人吐），猴子就吐
13分19秒，那個懷孕的MM看到韓國人吐了，恐慌起來，然後自己也吐了。大叔的這句話原型是"Monkey see, monkey do"，“猴子看見（別人做什麼），猴子就學（別人做什麼）”。大叔臨時改了一下，更符合當時情形。所以大叔開頭還讓空姐給她根香蕉，夠損的。

5.House: "crikey, mate"?
13分45秒，我覺得是這集最搞笑的地方之一了。House在治療之前在乘客中選起了小鴨子們。首先用"crikey, mate"?（“喲，哥們”，模仿Chase的澳洲口音）選出了"Chase"（小男孩），並讓他對自己意見總是贊同，然後又選出了"Foreman"（對自己意見總是反對），"Cameron"（無論什麼都觸犯了道德標準）。這些乘客也真配合，尤其是小男孩，以致在15分12秒大叔還開玩笑的說“記得問他要份簡歷”。

6.Wilson: I just assumed it was a zebra.
WILSON：我一直以為是種怪病。
16分32秒，Wilson認為自己先前把病情想複雜了，也許只是乳腺癌這類常見病。Zebra我們都知道是斑馬的意思，而Zebra在醫學上的意義則來自于馬里蘭大學醫學院的教授Theodore Woodward醫生（常看美劇的這名字是不是有點眼熟？沒錯，Prison Break裡的T-Bag的名字就是Theodore）所說的一句名言：When you hear hoofbeats behind you, don’t expect to see a zebra（當你聽到身後想起馬蹄聲時，不要期待那是匹斑馬），表示把“普通病症複雜化，根據一些普通症狀而總往疑難病症上響”。這句話後來演變為一句英文諺語“When you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras”（當你聽到馬蹄聲時，猜想是馬吧，別想著是斑馬），比喻不要把簡單問題複雜化。

7.House: Tell the pilot to dive until we can club baby seals out of the window.
HOUSE：告訴飛行員下降，直到我們能把小海豹從窗戶扔出去。
39分18秒，House確診韓國人的病為減壓症。這裡的小海豹就是指病人本身（海豹擅於且喜愛潛水，歷來都和潛水聯繫在一起），而且此時飛機正好在北極圈附近。

House Season3 EP17

Fetal Position

Episode 317 : 2007-04-03

Famous celebrity photographer Emma Sloan is five months pregnant. She arrives late for a shoot with a band member from All-American Rejects. She complains that the words on the backdrop are jumbled even though they are correct. Emma panics and shouts for somebody to call 911 because she's having a stroke.

House ambles into Emma's hospital room with a quick order to hold her arms out with palms up. Her right arm begins to droop. House asks if her ob gyn cleared her and her fetus. Emma affirms this and House calls him an idiot for missing the pronator drift. House examines Emma's eyes and notices an issue with vessels. He thinks her microaneurysm is a predictor of future strokes. In the conversation, House learns that Emma was artificially inseminated with a donation from a gay neurologist. He also notices that Emma's catheter bag is half-filled with blood.

The team later reports that a urinalysis revealed that there was excessive protein and red blood cells. A chem panel showed a creatinine level over 2.5. After the stroke, Emma's kidneys have been shutting down. Cameron wonders if the kidney problem came first and threw off a clot that caused the stroke. House thinks the heart is much more likely to throw off a clot and mentions the six cases of strep in Emma's history. Untreated strep leads to Rheumatic fever, which leads to mitral valve stenosis, which leads to the team exiting the office to go check Emma's heart.

While Emma lays in a CT scanner, Chase and Cameron discuss House catching them in the supply closet. Chase doesn't think it's a big deal, but Cameron worries that House has some secret plan in the works. Chase wonders if Cameron is simply annoyed that House caught them and doesn't care. He then notices a calcified mitral valve in Emma's heart.

Emma is put in surgery so that Chase and Cameron can insert a balloon into her narrowed valve. They believe this will solve her problems as long as she finishes her prescribed antibiotics the next time she gets strep. But before they start, Cuddy enters. With a smile, she starts giving Cameron and Chase orders on how to approach the procedure they've done numerous times in the past.

The team finds House in his office making vacation plans with a direct flight to Phnom Penh. They tell him about Cuddy, which House brushes off. They go on to explain that Emma's kidneys are still failing. House figures that means they screwed up the procedure, but Cameron counters that maybe House screwed up the diagnosis. Considering the pregnancy, the doctors mention pre-eclampsia, proteinuria, low platelets. They also bring up hypoperfusion, a condition in which a fetus acts like a parasite and steals crucial nutrients and blood from the mother. Foreman, mentioning the pregnancy could be irrelevant, wonders about sepsis or HUS/TTP. House sends them off to check for everything.

All of Emma's tests come back clean. The doctors are baffled. Everything that screws with the kidneys is something they considered. House approaches Emma and informs her that they've eliminated all possibilities for her body. But the other body -- the fetus -- isn't performing so well.

House convenes his team in the office and explains Maternal Mirror Syndrome to them. In short, the creation of a new system inside a functioning body goes wrong. As the fetus slowly dies, rather than miscarry or become a stillbirth, it kills the mother's body as well. The good news is if they fix the fetus, Emma will get better. The bad news is that this syndrome rarely turns out favorably. House suggests they start with a look at the fetus's heart. Unfortunately, it's nearly impossible to get an accurate scan on a fetal heart because the fetus doesn't stop moving. Yet House has a solution. He's going to paralyze the fetus.

Cuddy catches wind of this scheme and tries to stop House. House is quickly able to talk her into it. And together, they're able to talk Emma into the procedure. Everything is a success and the fetal heart is structurally sound according to the MRI. However, the bladder is four times the normal size. It's so engorged that it's squeezing out the other organs, not allowing space for the lungs to develop. Cuddy informs Cameron that it's a lower urinary tract obstruction that can be fixed by inserting a shunt. Cameron asks if Cuddy is taking over this case, and Cuddy replies that House won't care now that the diagnosis is in. Cuddy then warns Cameron that dating Chase can only end in one of two ways: marriage and happiness, or a breakup that leads to Cuddy having to fire one of them because they can no longer work together. Cameron knows that House told Cuddy about them.

Cuddy informs Emma of their plan to insert the shunt, which should solve the problems. They will have to check the fetal kidneys first to make sure they function properly. If they're too damaged, there's nothing the doctors can do.

Cuddy finds House in her office. He happily explains to her that her kidney test will be inconclusive. The urine is stale, and she'll need to do at least three kidney taps before she can find fresh urine. Then he asks Cuddy why she's so interested in this case. Perhaps Emma is basically Cuddy, a single woman in her 40s who is using in vitro. He wonders whether Cuddy wants Emma to succeed to give herself some hope. Cuddy thinks on this, and agrees. She gives the case back to House.

Chase breaks the news to Emma that the fetus's kidneys aren't damaged. They're going to insert the shunt and everything should turn around. Surgery for the shunt is a success and the fetal bladder starts to decompress. Emma complains of abdominal pain and when Cameron checks her eyes, they're yellow. Cameron and Chase let House know that Emma's liver is now failing. House begins to wonder what the fetus is hiding. Maternal Mirror Syndrome has one surefire cure: delivery. However, a fetus isn't viable at 21 weeks. Who gets to tell Emma?

Emma asks about putting the fetus on ventilators, but the fetus is at least two weeks away from being viable. The catch is, her liver isn't going to last two more days. Emma refuses an abortion, so House points out that either the fetus dies or they both die. There is no chance of her dying and the baby surviving. Emma declares she won't consent to an abortion and tells House he has two days to figure it out.

House wants Cuddy to order an abortion, but Cuddy refuses. He claims the fetus is nothing more than a parasite at this point, but Cuddy says they need to exhaust every avenue before aborting. Cuddy gathers the team to run a differential, asking if their original assumption could be wrong. Desperate for a possible solution, Cuddy asks if the liver problems could have developed after they cured the urinary blockage. Cameron and Chase mention acute fatty liver, viral hepatitis and HELLP Syndrome as possible causes. Foreman points out that Emma's platelets are too low. If they biopsy the liver, they won't be able to stop the bleeding. Cuddy mentions transjugular hepatic biopsy. If they go into the liver from above and it does start to bleed, then the blood will go right back into her veins. Impressed, the team heads out.

Chase and Foreman thread a needle through Emma's veins. When they pierce the liver, her heart rate and blood pressure spike. The fetal heart rate explodes to 185 and contractions begin pre-term labor. Later, the doctors tell Cuddy they were able to control the pre-term labor with tocolytics. But the liver biopsy was negative, which means it is definitely Mirror Syndrome. The doctors insist that there's no solution outside of termination. Cuddy suggests overloading the fetus with corticosteroids in an effort to speed up the lung development. Then they can look at the lungs in search of a problem. The doctors rattle off a long list of developmental and practical problems a corticosteroid bath would create, but Cuddy is undeterred. She rushes out to perform it herself.

During the procedure, Emma develops a pulmonary edema, just as the doctors predicted. Wilson enters at the behest of the team. He also advises termination. All Cuddy has done is turn Emma into an incubator for a dead fetus. Cuddy tells Wilson to get out.

The next morning, Cuddy shuffles into Wilson's office with an admission that they were all right. Emma is getting worse faster than the baby is getting better. Cuddy asks Wilson what House would do in this situation. Suddenly, she has a revelation. Since Emma is already on a respirator, it doesn't matter what Cuddy does to her lungs and she can actually increase the corticosteroids. It also sounds like a risky flight of fancy that House would attempt.

The gamble works and Cuddy gets a viable MRI of the fetus' lungs, which she rushes over to House's apartment. The MRI presents many possibilities. House blows off his airport cab for vacation and returns to the hospital. The problem facing the team is that all of the normal lung tests -- transesophageal echo, high-res CT scan, ventilation perfusion -- are impossible to perform on a fetus. Frustrated, Chase blurts out that what they would normally do if stuck is perform exploratory surgery. House thinks that sounds like a good idea.

House plans to open the uterus, then open the fetus itself to take a look around. Despite Cuddy's warning that this procedure is incredibly dangerous, Emma sees a real-time 4D scan of her fetus and emotionally consents. The observation deck is packed for the surgery. When House cuts into the uterus, the fetus's arm emerges, tenderly grabbing House's finger. House freezes, staring at the tiny hand in awe. Despite his earlier insistence that this is a fetus and not a baby, he seems moved by the moment.

Later in the surgery, the fetal surgeon spots three lesions in the lungs and pronounces it to be C-CAM. He thinks he can reset them. Suddenly, Emma begins to crash. Cuddy tries to shock her back to life. House declares that the surgery isn't crashing Emma. It's the fetus. He grabs a pair of scissors and heads to the womb. Cuddy orders him to step back or get electrocuted. House continues working, but sees Cuddy isn't bluffing. He jumps back right before she delivers another shock. Finally, Emma's heart rate returns to normal.

The surgery is a success. House performs a follow up exam on Emma and everything is just fine. Emma thanks him, but House admits that the pregnancy would've been terminated if he had his way.

第17集（S3EP17:Fetal Postition）
這集裡面小鴨子們看大叔照片的樣子好搞笑呀...^^b
1.Fetal Position
標題Fetal Position 一語雙關。首先可以翻譯為“胎兒的地位”，說明胎兒是本集的主要焦點所在。其次可以作為專業術語翻譯為“胎方位",胎方位是指胎兒先露部的指示點與母體骨盆的關係。胎方位在整個妊娠和生產中的地位很重要。——感謝網友maxe.doc的補充

2.All-american rejects & Rockwell
36秒的時候，本集的病例Emma給搖滾歌星拍照前說："All-american rejects.Juxtaposing a classic image of americana with modern pop culture, you."（所有美國人都反對，把代表流行文化的你，和一張代表傳統美國文化的經典照片弄到一起）。我們在後面知道Emma拍攝的照片都是那種黑白老照片感覺的，而緊接著的對話也說明這位元歌星的歌迷大都出生在90年代。事實上這裡的"All-american rejects"算的上是一語三關。首先，它是“所有美國人都反對”的意思；其次，它是1999年成立於美國奧克拉荷馬州的All-American Rejects樂隊的名字；再次，在本集中客串搖滾明星的就是All-American Rejects樂隊的主唱兼貝司手Tyson Ritter。
而緊接下來53秒所說的"Love the rockwell thing."（喜歡Rockwell的東西）我個人認為也是雙關語。首先Rockwell=Rock well，符合搖滾歌星身份。其次Rockwell應該是指20世紀著名的美國插圖畫家Norman Rockwell，他的畫恰恰又多是描寫美國傳統生活的。

3.The mnemonic FAST
1分23秒病例Emma開始叨咕的記憶法也許有些人看的會一知半解吧。首先，中風會導致記憶障礙，所以Emma在懷疑自己中風的時候叨咕"FAST"（快）來看自己是否記憶出現問題。這個FAST（快）其實每個字母都是有含義的，分別為Face（臉，看是否笑容會有扭曲），Arms（胳膊，看是否能舉起胳膊），Speech（講話，口齒是否不清），Time（時間，如果中風病人能夠在3小時內得到及時救治，那麼他的大腦受損的概率就會降低）。Emma正是在記憶FAST代表的具體含義（測試記憶力）同時，分別測試了自己的F，A，S...方面，才判斷出自己中風的。

4.Who are the Jews in this metaphor?
“這個比喻裡猶太人指誰？”——Chase
本集Cuddy從一開始就表現出了對病例的“過分”關心（片頭就說這是一個“重要”病人）。而House當然察覺到了這點。在10分44秒，House用德國鐵路系統來比喻母體。這個比喻中一切都有所指，唯獨猶太人大叔沒有明說指誰。Chase於是問道"Who are the Jews in this metaphor?"（這個比喻裡猶太人指誰？），這個猶太人指的就是Cuddy。

5.House: Sorry. Just realized I forgot to Tivo Alien.
HOUSE：抱歉，我只是想起忘記錄《異形》了。
36分13秒大叔所說的這句“忘記錄《異形》”有2個所指。對於《異形》（"Alien"）這個系列的電影，相信並不需要多說什麼。胎兒從子宮中伸出小手的畫面，類似異形從母體破體而出的場景。而Tivo則是美國數位錄影機的著名品牌，用戶可以通過Tivo牌錄影機將數位電視節目錄到內置的硬碟中，以便後來觀看。而正如施樂（Xerox）成為複印的代名詞，邦迪（Band-Aid）成為創口帖的代名詞，Post-it成為便簽的代名詞，Google成為搜索的代名詞一樣，Tivo也成為錄播數位電視節目的代名詞了。
而35分45秒開始的本集中這最動人的一幕（胎兒的小手伸出與大叔親密接觸），我要告訴你這一幕其實現實中是存在的（驚訝吧^^b）。這個胎兒名叫Samuel Armas，當時只有21周大的他因患上胎兒脊髓病變，必需開刀為胎兒醫治。通常在這種胎兒先天有疾病的情況下，父母都會選擇流產，但Samuel Armas的父母選擇了在懷孕期間為其治療。手術在Vanderbilt大學醫療中心進行，其實這已經是該醫療中心進行的第54例胎兒手術了（他們發明了一項能夠在懷孕期間打開子宮為胎兒作手術的技術）。然而在手術的過程中，子宮中竟然伸出了一隻嬰兒的小手，並且緊緊握住了醫生的大手！手術最後很成功，而Samuel Armas也於1999年12月2日順利降生。而這張手術時的照片也被是世界多家媒體所轉載。而這一幕不單只出現在House一劇中，在《實習醫生風雲》（"Scrubs"）一劇的My Road to Nowhere一集中，Donald Faison飾演的Christopher Duncan Turk醫生給Jordan的胎兒做手術時，也出現了這一幕。
另外順帶提一下，《實習醫生風雲》裡很多場景和House太像了，2部劇的“病人”們也是跑來跑去的，所以2部劇比較著看也挺有意思的。

【天使與魔鬼】是【達文西密碼】的「前傳」，是哈佛大學符號學家羅柏•蘭登首度登場的小說，描述蘭登羅浮宮那趟重要造訪的一年前，發生於梵蒂岡城的冒險故事，一場異教與信仰、宗教與科學的戰爭。
故事敘述想以科學證明神確實存在的物理學家李歐納度•威特拉製造出人類所知最具威力的能源-「反物質」，但他卻在公布他的重大成果前夕遇害，不但眼珠子被挖掉，胸膛還被烙上一個神祕的印記。蘭登發現這個印記正是「光明會」（Illuminati）的標記，全世界最古老、最有權力的魔鬼教派遺失已久的符號。而威特拉。埋藏在地下五十公尺的「反物質」被偷走了，這種高度不穩定的物質，在24小時內即將造成有史以來最致命的大爆炸？倒數計時已經開始……
讓全球瘋狂的【達文西密碼】幕後團隊，將再度推出丹布朗暢銷作品改編的新片【天使與魔鬼】。湯姆漢克在本片重披戰袍，飾演哈佛宗教學專家羅柏蘭登，他將再度發現古老的宗教力量會為了達到目的，不惜犧牲一切，甚至殺人。本片同樣由朗霍華執導，布萊恩葛瑟、約翰可利與朗霍華擔任製片，大衛柯耶普與艾基瓦高茲曼編劇。
當蘭登發現古老的神秘兄弟會，也是史上最強大的地下組織「光明會」再度興起時，光明會的死敵天主教會，也正面臨生死存亡的關鍵。光明會已經設下無法停止的定時炸彈，蘭登必須和美麗又神秘的義大利科學家薇多利雅威特拉一同前往羅馬解除危機，穿越封閉的墓室、危險的地下墓穴、荒廢的教堂、甚至到地球最神秘的墓穴核心，兩人將沿著400年前以神秘符號指引的光明路徑，找到解救梵蒂岡的唯一希望。
關於天使與魔鬼的二三事：
「光明會」
神秘隱藏了五百年，光明會在西元1600年代是集結了科學家、藝術家、建築師與醫師等知識份子的秘密會社，他們擁抱的理論與發現不見容於當時主宰一切的天主教會，為了逃避迫害，光明會員，也就是「受啟蒙者」，決定轉往地下，但同時也悄悄滲透進各地政府與主要機構當中，擴大其影響力。
「光明路徑」
傳說由光明會大師規劃的古老光明路徑，能一路沿著羅馬抵達「光明教堂」，那是光明會科學家與其他知識份子為了躲避天主教會追捕而建造的藏身之處。光明路徑是由四個隱藏的指標指示，每個指標都會帶領尋路人抵達下一站，路徑的終點就是光明教堂，它是光明會眾的秘密集會所，這些指標代表四個科學祭壇：土、氣、火、水。
「梵蒂岡城」
梵蒂岡於1929年被視為獨立城市國家，但它的天主教歷史卻可追溯至西元初始在此犧牲的聖徒彼得。梵蒂岡的統治者是經由選舉選出的教宗，他不僅統領城內的900位居民，更是全球超過10億天主教信眾的精神領袖。
「閉門會議」
教宗過世十五天後，全球各地的樞機主教將齊聚梵蒂岡進行一場神聖的選舉儀式，亦即閉門會議。閉門會議開始後，樞機主教團會將自己鎖在西斯汀禮拜堂內，經過祈禱與討論，投票選出下一任教宗人選。西斯汀禮拜堂的門將一直閉鎖，直到新的教宗選出為止。
有時整個過程只需數小時，有時則會延到幾天甚至幾週。每一輪投票過後選票都會被燒毀，燒出來的煙將告知外界會議選舉結果，黑煙表示沒有達成決議，白煙則表示新教宗已經產生。
「總司庫」
總司庫是教宗的總管，負責管裡教廷的行政與財政事務。一旦教宗過世，總司庫要負責監督教宗葬禮。
葬禮期間，通常是一段禱告與退省時間，總司庫負責掌理教宗辦公室。但當光明會再起的消息傳到梵蒂岡，總司庫就必須親自出面保護天主教會。
「瑞士衛兵團」
瑞士衛兵團保衛教宗與梵蒂岡的歷史長達500多年，身著色彩鮮豔的文藝復興時代制服，瑞士衛兵團有時也會出現在擁擠的聖彼得廣場，因為低調不是這群梵蒂岡衛士的職責，這批訓練精良的衛隊只有一個目標：保衛教宗。
要成為衛兵團衛士必須是單身男性，信奉天主教，瑞士公民，而且身高超過五呎八吋。二十世紀的多數時期，瑞士衛兵團都只進行儀式性的活動，但在1981年一項企圖暗殺若望保祿二世的恐怖行動之後，瑞士衛兵團開始強化他們的軍事與維安訓練，尤其在面對光明會的威脅時，這些訓練更將派上用場。

House Season3 EP16

Top Secret

Episode 316 : 2007-03-27

Outside of Baghdad, a military convoy is intercepted by an IED blast. A Hummer is tossed on its side, and a Marine whose leg was blown off below the knee is dragged from the wreckage. The Marine is House. He is startled from his dream by Cuddy knocking on the office door.

She has a new case -- a former Marine who thinks he has Gulf War Syndrome. House objects that there is no such thing, but Cuddy explains that the soldier is the nephew of a major benefactor. House is forced to deal with this patient whether he wants to or not. Furthermore, the debated existence of the Marine's disease hasn't stopped the man's fatigue, rashes and joint pain.

As soon as he open the file, House is stunned. The attached photo of Sgt. John Kelley perfectly matches the man in his dream who pulled House from the explosion. In the men's restroom, House recounts the whole thing to Wilson, who thinks it might be a sign. House is skeptical. He is also unable to urinate despite his attempts to do so. He exits the bathroom unrelieved.

The team reviews the case. Foreman and Cameron both concur that Gulf War Syndrome doesn't exist. Studies show the same pattern of symptoms in veterans who were sent to the Gulf matched those who weren't. John Kelley, the patient, did not serve in the Gulf War. House thinks Kelley is merely depressed and seeking a disability check. He orders a full physical as well as blood checks for HIV, hep C, malaria, schistosomiasis and T strain A baumanii. House has the team find out all clinics and hospitals the patient has visited and which cities he has lived in. They should also see if the man has ever been on TV.

The doctors perform a variety of exams on Kelley, skeptical about his claims. Kelley launches into a laundry list of his problems. He suffers from fatigue, coughs, rashes, sore throats, joints that feel like they have sand poured in them. His legs sometimes feel cold and other times it seems like his blood is boiling. He doesn't care what they call his condition, he only wants them to cure it.

The team doesn't conclude anything based upon the tests. Foreman is ready to prescribe a banana and discharge him. House orders a polysomnogram, theorizing that sleep apnea could cause chronic fatigue and paranoia. Suddenly, House winces in pain, clutching his stomach. Cameron takes notice, but House brushes it off.

The polysomnogram comes up negative. Chase reiterates his theory of uranium poisoning, but they haven't been able to detect anything in Kelley's blood. As they wait through the night for Kelley to finish a full sleep cycle, Chase and Cameron retreat to one of the hospital beds for a little romantic entanglement.

Meanwhile, House stands idly over his home toilet, still unable to urinate. His frustration is growing. He shuffles over to the sink and pops a Vicodin.

Foreman drops by the sleep lab, but Chase and Cameron are nowhere to be found. Kelley calls out for help, and Foreman listens to the patient complaining about a terrible smell. Noticing a white substance in the corners of Kelley's mouth, Foreman takes a look inside. A creamy whiteness coats Kelley's mouth and tongue. Foreman catches a whiff of the odor. Chase and Cameron finally appear, but too late to be useful.

House sits in the tub flipping through old news magazines, looking for a photo of Kelley that might have triggered his dream. The doctors call with news that Kelley has bacterial vaginosis in the mouth although he claims he hasn't performed oral sex on anybody in over a year. House instructs his team to have Wilson biopsy Kelley's salivary glands to check for parotid cancer. And they are to get a more detailed sexual history, because there is no way a Marine abstains for a full year.

The biopsy is inconclusive, and Wilson plans to move onto a sialogram. House figures it's too late to do anything to save Kelley because the cancer is likely spreading. He asks Wilson for a new prescription, confessing that he hasn't urinated in three days. Wilson tells him to stop taking the Vicodin, but House doesn't want to live with the pain. Wilson figures House would be in agony if he hadn't peed in that long. House counters that he passed agony sometime yesterday afternoon.

Wilson inserts a catheter into Kelley's parotid gland. Soothing music fills the room to calm the patient during this procedure, and when Kelley asks them to turn it up, the nurses oblige. Despite the increased volume, Kelley complains that he still can't hear it. Wilson shouts at him, but there's no reaction. Kelley has gone deaf.

Wilson breaks the news to House that Kelley has brain cancer. He puts the CT scan on the light board, showing at least six tumors. Kelley's sight will probably be the next to go, and House assumes death can't be too far off.

House, Wilson and Foreman review the numerous scans on Kelley's brain in radiology. Chase and Cameron enter after secretly sneaking off for another quickie outside of the hospital. They cover themselves by mentioning that all of Kelley's stories check out. Wilson asks House if he is having the team research his weird dream. When House doesn't have a suitable answer, the other doctors walk out, leaving him alone.

As Foreman and Wilson prepare to biopsy Kelley's brain tumors, House briefs Cuddy that there is no hope for a cure. The questions remain where these tumors came from and why they weren't detected earlier. Cuddy points out on the VA's brain scan the surgical pin inserted at the top of neck. The VA didn't make any mistakes on Kelley, no matter what House thinks.

House has Chase send a sample of Kelley's urine to a doctor in Leicester who has developed a new technique that allows for greater radiation detection. Then House asks Cameron to call Kelley's uncle and find out if he ever brought his nephew to hospital functions.

Foreman drills into Kelley's head using a portable CT scanner as guidance. Curiously, there are now no tumors in Kelley's brain. Foreman and Wilson share baffled looks. They confer with Cuddy and House to ascertain a possible explanation. Is it an abscess or an infection? Suddenly, Kelley begins screaming that he can't feel his legs.

The doctors retreat to the meeting room with a list of Kelley's numerous symptoms. Chase bursts in with the news that Kelley is excreting depleted uranium in his urine. Yet House is no longer interested since they are no longer searching for a cancer cause. House asks for Wilson's keys and then departs. He's going home for some sleep.

Standing around monitoring Kelley, Foreman suggests to his colleagues that they follow Chase's lead and start treatment for uranium toxicity. At home, House inserts a catheter into his bladder through the urethra and finds instant relief. He shuffles to his bed.

Chase and Foreman begin the IV drip. Kelley complains that he can't feel his stomach. Realizing the paralysis is ascending, Foreman and Chase worry that Kelley will need a respirator soon. Four hours later, House is still wide awake in his bed. He finally gives up at 6 am and gets out of bed.

House finds Chase and Foreman sleeping in the doctor's lounge. The team moves to Kelley's room, where an angry Cuddy is questioning who approved the uranium detox. Kelley is now pale and his blood pressure is plunging. House insists that it's a bleed out and orders a transfusion, despite a clear lack of signs that this is the problem. Chase moves around the bed to help and slips in a yellow puddle. Chase lifts House's pant leg to reveal a catheter bag with a tear on it. As an incredible amount of urine gushes from the bag, House's nose begins to bleed. Then House wakes up in his bed at home, finding the catheter bag broken in his bed. He was dreaming.

House goes to the hospital and leads his team to Kelley's room. He peers into Kelley's nostrils and finds exactly what he was looking for -- cauterization scars. Kelley cauterized his nose to stop the same nosebleeds that plagued his grandfather. They both had the same condition, Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia. The nosebleeds are a result of arteries and veins merging together, which means blood doesn't get fully oxygenated or filtered. Dirty blood causes the fatigue, infections and joint pain. Further, AVMs in Kelley's brain caused fake tumors, the ones in his spine caused paralysis and weakness while some in the lungs caused exhaustion. Fortunately, a few surgeries will clean everything up.

House tracks down Cuddy, having finally figured out where he remembered Kelley's face. Two years ago, Cuddy had brought Kelley with her to a hospital function. She thinks House remembered him out of jealousy. Cuddy tells House to get over her. She hired House when no one else would. House claims that she only hired him because of their "one night." She again tells him to get over her.

House barges into a supply closet where a shirtless Chase is kissing Cameron. The two awkwardly freeze as House dumps some files into a garbage can. House closes the door and walks down the hall with a smile.

第16集（S3EP16:Top Secret）
1.Top Srcret
說來慚愧，一直到看完這一整集，我也不是很確定這集標題所說的“最高機密”（Top Secret）是什麼。不過就這集交代的幾人之間錯綜複雜的感覺來看，這個“最高機密”似乎指的就是這個。“論壇和網路上不是猜測/惡搞/同人/希望‘House配Wilson/Cuddy/Cameron’，‘Cameron配Chase/House’嗎？好吧，我這集裡面對這幾個人都關係都涉及/調侃一下，但是我就是不告訴觀眾他們最後到底誰跟誰配對”——這大概就是編劇試圖傳達給我們的“最高機密”吧。

2.the village people
4分37秒，當House告訴Wilson，他夢到自己是海軍陸戰隊員，而病人就是自己夢裡的戰友的時候。Wilson開始挖苦大叔：

Wilson: I’m guessing you’re longing for either a renewed relationship with your dad...or a new relationship with one of The Village People.
WILSON：我想你要不就是希望和你老爸和好如初...要不就是想和某位"The Village People"（“鄉村人”樂隊）成員發生一段新感情。
House: He was in the navy, not the marines.
HOUSE：他服役的是海軍，而不是海軍陸戰隊。
Wilson: I thought your dad was in the marines.
WILSON：我還以為你爸爸是海軍陸戰隊的。
House: The guy in the village people.
HOUSE：我（說的“他”）是指“The Village People”樂團的人。
Wilson: Actually, he’s only in the navy when they sing in the navy. The rest of the time, he’s just in generic fatigues.
WILSON：其實，他只有唱《在海軍》這首歌的時候，他才穿海軍軍服。其他時候，他只是穿迷彩服而已。

70年代美國著名的Village People（鄉村人）樂隊，除去他們的音樂之外，最有名的就是他們舞臺上的制服裝扮和其同性戀身份了。據說鄉村人樂隊很可能是流行樂歷史上第一隊以同性戀身分自居的樂隊，隊中成員從不諱言自己的同性戀取向。要知道70年代的社會風氣還是相對保守的，這班“鄉村人”卻勇敢地站出來，唱出同性戀者的心聲，據說也啟蒙了後來的許多同性戀樂隊的誕生。
歌曲方面，不得不提"Y.M.C.A."這首無人不曉的經典的士高歌曲，此曲令樂隊紅遍全球，幾乎每個人都會唱幾句。雖然歌詞似是歌頌Y.M.C.A.提供便宜漂亮舒適的住宿給背囊旅客，不過副歌中的一句“你可以和一大班男孩子同住”，仍流露出他們的同性戀身分。其它經典金曲如"Macho Man"、"Go West"等同樣充滿同性戀意識，再配上強勁的的士高節奏及易上口的旋律，無論你是不是同性戀，都能投入其中，蠢蠢欲舞！
而舞臺形象方面，“鄉村人”也算是獨樹一幟（可以算cosplay的師祖了吧），樂隊的每個成員在舞臺上都有其職業服飾打扮：Randy Jones扮演牛仔，David Hodo扮演建築工人，Victor Willis扮演員警，Felipe Rose扮演印第安酋長，Glenn Hughes扮演摩托車手，Alex Briley扮演美國士兵（也算是象徵同性戀者各行各業都有吧-_-b）。而在"In the Navy"這張專輯發佈後，Victor Willis和Alex Briley臨時扮演起海軍士兵來。Wilson說的平時穿迷彩服的，應該就是指Alex Briley。
在Wilson挖苦House後，我們的“電視兒童”House大叔居然裝傻，鬧的Wilson還要解釋一番，然後大叔“曖昧”的瞄了Wilson一眼，似乎在說“喲，你對同性戀的事真瞭解”，難怪Wilson趕忙撇清說："What? YOU brought it up."（幹嗎? 是你挑起來的話題）。

The Celebrity Apprentice Season2 EP9

Episode 809 | Season 8 | 04/26/2009
As the groups watch the feed of last week's boardroom procedures -- with Herschel getting the axe -- the consensus seems to be that Clint is getting increasingly ruthless. Later, a clearly happy Jesse presents his $20,000 winnings to his charity, the Long Beach Education Foundation.

 

 

 

The teams assemble at the NBA store on Manhattan's 5th Avenue. Mr. Trump announces that's he's moving Jesse back to KOTU, joining Joan and Clint. He introduces two executives from Right Guard to explain this week's task. The teams will each create a four-page print advertisement for their new product, Right Guard Fast Break deodorant. The ad will run in Sports Illustrated and must incorporate New York Nicks star David Lee. Helping out Donald Trump in judging the teams will be his daughter Ivanka and CNBC Mad Money host, Jim Cramer. The teams pick their leaders; Athena will be led by Brande, KOTU will be led by Clint.

 

Athena starts to brainstorm. Melissa throws out several ideas, but Brande and Annie are nonplussed by them all. Annie suggests a risqué idea to feature David Lee naked, covered only by a basketball over his groin. Brande dials it back to a concept featuring a montage that culminates in a shirtless David Lee. The Right Guard execs check in and let the team know that their concept is not too racy.

 

 

KOTU meets with the Right Guard reps and learns that the product's "power stripe" is an important distinguishing feature for them. Jesse feels that Clint is completely out of his element and that he's faking his way through it. Pressure is clearly building between the two. Joan plays it cool.

 

 

 

Brande makes her assignments. Annie will write and present; she and Melissa will work on the photography and production of the actual ad. Creatively, Brande seems more receptive to Annie's final ideas: a 24-hour photo spread of how the athlete spends his day. Melissa feels frozen out -- she's convinced that Annie is manipulating Brande to minimize her.

 

 

 

KOTU works on the creative. They talk through a number of ideas and themes. Jesse hits on a concept and draws it out in detail for the team. He's convinced it's great, but Clint wants to evolve it further. Jesse bristles; he publishes his own magazine and feels that his experience should carry some weight.

 

 

 

Annie heads out to work with the photographer. Back at the office, Melissa confronts Brande -- it's obvious she and Annie are conspiring against her. Brande's surprised and does her best to assuage Melissa. But Melissa won't be soothed. "If we lose," she tells the camera, "those two are gonna gang up me so fast it's gonna make everyone's head spin." Brande's irritated, convinced Melissa is overreacting.

 

 

Clint sends Jesse off to shoot skyline shots of New York for use in the background of the ad. Clint goes on to work with the studio photographer and model on how the talent shots will be incorporated. Ivanka arrives and candidly asks Joan about Clint's style; she answers that he's definitely listening more. Clint's heartened, feeling that he's being more inclusive of everyone, though he wonders if Jesse is being standoffish in an attempt to make him look bad in the boardroom, if it comes to that. In an interview, Jesse is convinced their team is going to lose, primarily because Clint really doesn't know what he's doing.

 

Athena's concept calls for a shot of dancers in a nightclub. Melissa does her best to keep her head down and help however she can; Brande has given her a very limited role. Brande pulls Annie aside and reveals that Melissa's convinced they're conspiring against her. Annie is incredulous. In an interview Annie explains, "I don't need to conspire against her. She's doing a good job of conspiring against herself."

 

 

KOTU starts working on the layout of their ad, incorporating Jesse's city shots, product shots, and tag lines. Clint strives to get as many brand messages into the layout as possible. Jesse, disgusted and critical, withdraws. He tells Clint point blank that he was too stupid to recognize a good idea when he sees it (his). Remarkably, Clint keeps his cool, but is clearly annoyed at the insubordination and lack of teamwork.

 

 

As Brande works with the photographer and talent, Annie pulls Melissa aside to try to reassure her that she's not being targeted. Melissa's clearly vulnerable and seems to take some of it in stride. In a separate interview, Annie admits that her poker playing experience gives her a keen understanding of game theory and how to undermine her opponents. Her goal for this week is to make the final four.

 

 

Clint takes control of the photo shoot. Jesse sits in the back, convinced that everything is going wrong. As the shoot wraps and Clint begins working with the layout artist, Annie and Brande drop by, clearly snooping. They're shooed off. As the ad begins to take shape, Clint asks Jesse his opinion; he hates it and suggests they need to start all over and follow his original idea. Clint chalks it up to game playing on Jesse's part. Jesse keeps digging at Clint, belittling him. "This sounds like my first marriage," Joan quips.

 

 

Jim Kramer drops in on Athena. Brande starts to walk him through the layout, but Annie quickly jumps in, taking credit for the tagline, the concept -- essentially all of the ad. Kramer asks each of them what sort of word they'd like him to put in for them. Brande says she wants to be known as a strong leader, Annie that she created and executed the concept, Melissa wants it known that she told a story -- and that they all contributed equally. Annie is furious at Melissa's attempt to take equal credit.

 

 

The presentations begin. Clint presents for KOTU, articulating the concept and explaining how it meets the brand goals. Annie presents for Athena; Melissa is privately critical of her effort. The execs take it all in, happy to see their brand presented with such passion and fresh thinking. Back at Trump Tower, the execs brief Donald Trump on the campaigns. They praise both efforts, but it's clear they've got a favorite.

 

 

The teams are summoned to the boardroom. Brande feels great about their campaign and is sure they're going to win. Clint also feels positive, saying they did the best they could. Trump probes Jesse who candidly states that Clint did a poor job -- and that even if they win, he'd feel it was a bad effort. He goes on to explain that Clint didn't use him or Joan to their potential. He explains that he owns a magazine and knows more about advertorial layout and messaging than anyone, but that Clint rejected him. Clint defends himself and accuses Jesse of being uncooperative.

 

 

Mr. Trump turns to Brande to find out more about Athena's efforts. Brande admits that she gave most of the key tasks to Annie, because she thought she had the most expertise. Annie continues to take credit -- which elicits a personal attack from Joan, who's clearly had it with Annie. Melissa tells Trump that Brande allowed herself to be taken over by Annie. She also explains that she and Annie worked to box her out. "It felt like high school," she says.

 

 

The teams are given copies of each other's ads. They're mutually impressed, but even Jesse admits to liking his own team's better. Trump announces the Right Guard executives' feelings: while they liked them both, they preferred KOTU's work. Jesse gives Clint a begrudging handshake of congratulations and the teams exits the boardroom

 

 

 

Trump asks Jim Cramer and Ivanka whom he should fire. Jim thinks Brande needs to go -- she delegated everything and her team lost. Ivanka counters that Annie and Melissa have hung themselves with their petty behavior in the boardroom. Trump summons Athena back in. Brande defends herself. She's raised the second largest amount of money overall and clearly manages well, she tells Trump. Annie, asked who should be fired, says Melissa, because she let the game get into her head. Cramer attacks Brande, because she did not step up to defend herself vehemently enough to Melissa's accusations of weakness. Brande fires back with passion and loudly proclaims that Melissa should be fired.

 

Trump asks Melissa to defend herself. She recites a litany of how well she performed on past tasks. She openly attacks Brande. Annie just looks on coolly. Trump asks Cramer whom he should fire. Cramer explains that now that Brande's stepped up, he thinks Melissa is the one who should go. Trump, noting that Melissa has raised the least money of the three Athena members -- and that her contributions on the Right Guard task were meager -- fires Melissa. She's angry and upset.

 

 

As she exits the boardroom, Melissa is fuming. She excoriates her teammates as she scrambles to get her things to leave. "They're whores and pit vipers!" She refuses the producer's request for an exit interview. In the adjoining suite, Joan is also visibly upset. She wishes Jesse and Clint good luck -- she's leaving too. Seeing Annie and Brande, she insults them both: "You are a piece of s**t," she says pointing at Annie, "And you are a stupid blonde," she tells Brande. She goes on to tell her how quickly Annie will knock her off -- and that's she been manipulated. Brande's having none of it from Joan and yells right back at her. Joan dismisses her and then can't resist the opportunity to lay into Annie, decrying her for being a poker player -- a lowly poker player with blood on her hands. She storms out.

As Trump, Ivanka, and Cramer watch from the boardroom, Melissa is on a tirade, swearing at everyone within range. She takes her mother with her as they storm out -- it looks like Joan's had it too.

 

 

 

 

Jesse 贏得上次比賽，獎金捐給Long Beach Education Foundation.

這次任務是替Right Guard Fast Break deodorant. 做產品介紹，利用四幅廣告進行推銷。廣告主角由紐約尼克隊的 David Lee 擔綱演出。獲勝者由公司高層主管挑選而出。

由於上禮拜KOTU又被淘汰一人，局面形成4 V.S. 2，所以進行隊伍重組。Athena的Jesse回歸KOTU。Annie聽到以後一直無法相信，到是我覺得這個決定很棒，因為Jesse真的很不錯。

兩隊開始工作，遇到的問題也不盡相同。Athena 的 Melissa 受到另外兩外的排擠，雖然這兩位口口聲聲說我沒有我沒有，但事實上我就是覺得有，而且工作任務分配極為不平均。Annie也將一切責任推給Brande，例如，我提供你點子，這是最好的點子，你跟著我的做一定沒錯，但最後決定權在你喔，負責任的是你不是我喔，但是我的點子你一定要採納。這是哪們子的合作阿，Brande也讓他牽著鼻子走，最後在會議室，甚至稱呼Annie為XX之王，YY之王，無形之中貶低自己。Athena在女人心機眼底下完成這次任務。

KOTU由Clint擔任Leader。一如往常，一樣聽不進任何意見，但就如Joan所說，他有進步，以前直接回絕，現在還會想15秒，就是進步這15秒，雖說有進步，但我覺得還不夠，不過有進步真的很不賴，由這次手冊就看得出來，有些Jesse的意見是被採納的，例如橫邊，背景等等。但是Jesse還是無法忍受Clint的領導方式，最後用諷刺的語氣打擊Clint，這是我對Jesse失望的一點。

最後結果出爐，KOTU贏了，Athena有一個人要被淘汰。本來決定淘汰的是Brande，但就在Melissa打斷Trump話以後，Trump跟Jim咬耳朵以後，淘汰答案變成Melissa。這是個很錯誤的決定，這次任務的失敗跟Melissa一點關係都沒有，Trump卻因為她募集資金能力不足而開除他，這根本就沒有就事論事，此決定錯得離譜。

想當然 Melissa 暴怒，Joan也看不下去，兩個一起負氣離開。

最後留下幾個耐人尋味的鏡頭，Trump, Ivanka Cramer留在會議室觀看發生的事情，好像此事是他們故意製造的一樣。

最後五強因為Joan的退出，直接變成4強，但最後Joan是否會回來，不知道！

最後兩集，3小時Live撥出。
