Goofs:

Factual errors: Foreman begins an autopsy by cutting through the chest using an electric circular bone saw. This saw will not cut through bare skin. It's actually rather similar to the saws used to cut casts. The saw basically uses friction to cut through bone, but it is pretty harmless to skin. The way to cut through skin is with a scalpel.

Quotes:

Dr. Gregory House: Why are you talking to her? You run out of living people? You can talk to me. I'm right here.
Dr. James Wilson: I miss her. Talking to her makes me feel better. You don't.

Darker .... Step by Step ....

This episode is a lot different than the ones before and takes it to a whole new level. It's not so much House's hallucinations, but this episode does a great job of showing us the weight of things. It revolves around death: Chase's remorse, Wilson's dead girlfriend... I think it shows that the season is slowly, reaaaalllly slowly moving into a darker direction. Hugh Laurie's performance is simply breathtaking in every scene, and as it turns out a sane, drug free House, appears to be way darker and human than the cracked up maniac before. Although some events, especially in the beginning of the episode may seem like a jigsaw puzzle hammered together, it all makes sense in the end. Really nice episode.
