If you watched last night's House, you know that Michael Michele has joined the cast as Dr. Samira Terzi. House met her while on a consult with the CIA and offered her a job (in his sarcastic fashion). When he leaves Princeton-Plainsboro that night, she's sitting outside to let him know that she gave the CIA notice and is ready to accept his offer - she'll be at work on Monday.

So, what does this mean for the contestants? I guess we'll see. Though I don't expect a concrete answer as it would tip off a plot line, I've reached out to a Fox representative to ask how many episodes Michele has committed to.
