5.0 out of 5 stars A Saddening Episode, June 2, 2009

By	Steven Stewart "Critic Extraordinaire" (steveo.stewart@hotmail.co.uk) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

By the time of the writing of this review I'm sure you're all very much aware of the situation. The House team lost a player and his name was Dr. Lawrence Kutner, played by the utterly sublime Kal Penn. For no particular reason that I can define, I am a massive fan of Kal Penn's and was overjoyed when he first joined the House team. His aura and presence is something very special and the show will really struggle to get over him. Next to House, he was one of the funniest and more intelligent Doctors on the team, albeit a bit unorthodox.

This particularly sombre episode opens with yet another peculiar case, but this is now with a fantastic guest star in the guise of Meat Loaf as the dying husband of a dying wife (it's complicated, the sicker she gets, the better he gets, and he is in the last stages of terminal cancer). The team starts off one man down as Kutner is nowhere to be seen or heard; but they carry on as normal. Throughout the first quarter of the episode, it consists of the intermingling of the intriguing diagnostic case and the bigger question of "Where is Kutner?"

Thirteen and Foreman decide that they must find out what's up with Kutner, so they pay a visit to his apartment, only to find him lying dead on his bedroom floor with a hole through his head. Kutner had committed suicide much to the distress of an extremely shocked team and a surprised House. Nobody saw it coming and House becomes more intrigued in the death of Kutner than his own patient.

After the death, and quite unsurprisingly, the episode takes quite a dark tone and you really understand what the team would be going through. Thanks to the fantastic acting, I also found myself resenting Taub who was someone who exhibited such lack of emotion towards the tragedy, I actually came to suspect that there was a possibility he killed Kutner (which let's face it, would have been interesting). But as of this moment in time, that is not the case.

This was a really good episode and although we know why Kutner is no longer in the show, it's still a sincerely sad thing to see him gone and would have rather see him go on a better note leaving the possibility for a return in any possible further seasons. Alas that was not meant to be and although a sad episode it was, I couldn't help but think that on an emotional scale, this was one of the strongest of the lot this season, possibly matching that of the first episode of season 5.
