HOUSE - Season 8.3 - CHARITY CASE

Episode was well-written.  The series gives us a compelling case as well as provides human insight.  House isn't solely about saving his patient, he's about saving his staff.  I love how they always use the case on hand to explore themes that are ongoing with the staff.  Extremely hard to do yet the writers here pull it off effortlessly.

In this episode, we get Wentworth Miller (who looks heavier than his PRISON BREAK days) playing an altruristic man who's giving away millions while he's living off of 25K a year.  He gets into the hospital and volunteers to give up a kidney to a perfect stranger. 

House seeks to find a medical condition for Miller (the rest of the hospital feels Miller is just a giving soul) even though if he's proven right and cures Miller, Miller will no longer give House a million bucks to restore his staff.

This is a plot that's finely layered.  Top-notch writing.
