Sardonic Dr. Gregory House and his ex-girlfriend Stacy takes up too much screen time, but once she departs the season picks up dramatically.
Dr. Chase has difficulty dealing with the death of his father and still doubts his own abilities at times, and Dr. Foreman discovers that he is willing to step on others to ensure his own success, and that sometimes tragedy strikes closest to home.
Dr. Cuddy and Dr. Wilson get some great time, we learn quite a deal more about House and the skeletons in his closet that make him tick.
