Certainly there doesn’t need to be a parade of sex-crazed doctors sleeping with one another every week — this isn’t “Grey’s Anatomy” — but if “House” strives to be more than a one-note medical mystery show, then it might be time to move the young and eager docs out of the ICU. To find out what’s really ailing patients, House is often sending his team into the homes of dying patients. But what mysteries are found in the abodes of his own colleagues?

Show off Dr. Cameron's personal side more often. Who is she dating? What are the complications of those relationships? Dr. Foreman’s father arrived at the hospital as a patient in a handful of the remaining episodes of this season. This brings up some childhood issues that Foreman’s been grappling with. Delve into them.

And poor Lisa Edelstein. She’s House’s superior but he’s constantly demeaning and abusing her emotionally. Why does she stand for this? If her doctoring skills are as bad as House believes — whenever she makes a diagnoses he immediately dismisses it — why is she seeing patients? Is she an administrator or clinician? Go one way or another.
