Ep 1. Now What?

The season 7 premiere of House, entitled "Now What?," finds Dr. Gregory House (played by Hugh Laurie) in a reflective state of mind. After a tumultuous end to his previous relationship with Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein), House is now contemplating where he goes from here.

With his team of doctors from last season no longer working with him, House is tasked with assembling a new group of medical professionals to help him solve the most complex and challenging cases. He quickly realizes that he isn't thrilled about the prospect of starting over from scratch, but he nonetheless manages to cobble together a team of people who he thinks will be able to rise to the occasion.

In the first case of the season, House and his new team are tasked with diagnosing an older woman who has been experiencing some strange and troubling symptoms. Despite House's initial diagnosis of an easily treatable condition, the patient quickly takes a turn for the worse and it becomes clear that something more serious is going on.

Throughout the episode, House butts heads with his new team members, pushing them to come up with out-of-the-box ideas and diagnoses in order to save the patient's life.

The episode is filled with the snappy dialogue, complex medical cases, and clever twists and turns that House fans have come to expect over the years. But it also sets up some interesting new storylines for the upcoming season, including House's attempts to work with a new team, his ongoing struggles with addiction and relationships, and the possibility of new characters getting added to the mix.

Overall, "Now What?" is a strong premiere episode that sets the stage for what promises to be another exciting and unpredictable season of House. It showcases all the elements that made the show a hit in the first place, while also taking the characters and storylines in new and interesting directions.
