But will he remain a friend of House’s after our favorite doctor discovers what this guy is up to and, most importantly, who he’s up to it with?
Mysterious, poorly-worded questions aside, though, the installment is titled “Known Unknowns.” check out the official Fox promo below, followed by a trio of images from “Known Unknowns.”
One tough patient is coming to the Princeton Plainsboro hospital next week. In “House M.D.” episode “The Tyrant“, the team treats a controversial African politician who has fallen ill. He dares Cameron who is in charge of him to pull the trigger if she wants him dead.
The character played by James Earl Jones is a merciless dictator named President Dibala who is being subpoenaed for crimes against humanity in his country. The team faces a moral dilemma whether to save him or let him go.
Meanwhile, Wilson tries to make peace with a feuding neighbor, but House’s prying exacerbates the problem. House himself is in the middle of his mission to get his job back.
“The Tyrant” is scheduled to air on Monday, October 5 on FOX. This would be the starting point episode that triggers Cameron’s exit from the hospital. The character played by Jennifer Morrison reportedly is about to follow her husband Chase out of Princeton after he “treads a thin moral line on a case involving an African dictator”. But after House intervenes, Chase decides to stay and she goes on with the plan.
The “House” season premiere coming up next week? So un-House like.
With all the series regulars besides Hugh Laurie — and Robert Sean Leonard, who appears as Wilson in one very short scene — absent from the two-hour episode which spans the several months that House spends in a mental facility, you’re either going to love what the writer-producers have done or you’re going to hate it.
And Cuddy fans who want to see Princeton-Plainsboro’s fearless leader together with the cranky doctor should beware.
As has been rumored, House is indeed hooking up with the character played by guest star Franka Potente… and its pretty serious.
Like so serious that our guy might shed a few tears because of it.
Uh, yeah.
Not to worry, however. According to executive producer David Shore, House — though he’ll certainly attempt to change — will end up being the same man he’s always been in the end.
I spoke with Shore, as well as Robert Sean Leonard, Lisa Edelstein and Peter Jacobsen, recently and they all weighed in on the situation.
Shore is also spilling on Foreteen’s current relationship, plus Cameron and Chase and how the two will figure back into the mainstream action this season…
