7x10 Carrot or Stick
Spoilers
I'm not going to write much this time. Don't worry, it is a great episode! Another keeper. Apart from my tweets ( @cuddylicious), I just would like to quote from Barbara Barnett's review:
I have to confess that as much as I enjoyed this episode, I would so like to have seen more scenes between House and the father, who is a natural avatar for House’s own father; Driscoll’s relationship with his son is a completely logical parallel to House’s relationship with the man who raised him-and might have set up an interesting side story about terrible outcomes resulting from fathers never coming forth for their sons (and might have further tied interestingly into House's growing attachment to Cuddy's child). The one conversation between House and the patient (and the look of disdain well-played on Laurie’s face), were all the bits of emotion inserted into this particular story thread. I think it was a missed opportunity. But it didn't mar how much I enjoyed this excellent episode.

His closest attachments: to Cuddy and to Wilson are forged from their use of carrots and sticks to support and encourage-but also to help him find the limits within which he can function within society. His attachment to Rachel is different; it’s not fraught with baggage and conflict. It’s simple and sweet. (And if I were House, I’d try to stay on her good side by keeping those toys coming!)
