Ok, newsworthy or not, it’s time to talk about last night’s episode of House. Don’t worry, we’ll give you something to hold your attention, Lisa Edelstein’s Cuddy stripping in a schoolgirl uniform, but House continues to film their show non-stop until August, praying that their won’t be another strike when SAG’s contact goes up at the end of June.

There probably will be a strike, but House has most of their fifth season planned already.

Last night’s episode, called “House’s Head” was part one of a two part finale. The second, titled “Wilson’s Heart” involves the fate of a patient (probably Amber) whose key symptom was noticed by House right before a horrendous bus crash left Amber critically injured and House with short-term memory loss.

Lisa Edelstein, Dr. Cuddy, has this to say about the upcoming Season Five:

In addition to exploring the deepening relationship between House and Cuddy, the fifth season will kick off with a House/Wilson storyline, says Edelstein. “Their friendship is on the line.” Of course, she added, it’s anyone’s guess what will happen if there’s another strike. (And it’s a distinct possibility). “We’re all holding our breath; it’s very scary.” It is one reason why they’ve jumped right into season five without the customary break between filming seasons.

Also, Cuddy’s stripping, as promised:

From Zap 2 It:

“I called Sheila Kelley, who has a company called S-Factor. She’s actually the wife of Richard Schiff, who I’ve worked with on West Wing and Relativity and she did a movie a long time ago about strippers and realized that stripping is a great way to stay in shape and also a great way for women to explore their sexual power, so I went to her and she helped me choreograph this routine,” she says. “It was a very interesting experience.”
“I didn’t really need it for the exercise, because I would show up there having just done two hours of yoga, but in terms of learning about how to be sexy without doing it for somebody else…” Edelstein continues. “I think that’s the trick, that you stand within your own skin and your own power. You do it for your own enjoyment.”
