House MD: Guardian Angels

While having a seizure, a funeral-home cosmetician hallucinates that she's being violently raped by one of the corpses she's working on. Later in the hospital, she acts as though her dead mother is in the room with her. Meanwhile, Cameron offers advice to one of the seven candidates for House's team; Foreman has lunch with Cuddy.
  • House greets the candidates from his office through a speaker phone and says "Good morning, Angels". This and other lines reference the TV series Charlie's Angels, in which Charlie always addresses his female 'Angel' agents via speakerphone. He also refers to Dobson as "Bosley", the bumbling male sidekick of the three Angels.
  • House refers to Jeffrey as "Big Love." This is a reference to the HBO series Big Love about a Fundamentalist Mormon in a plural marriage. As the first one is called like that by House, Amber Volakis (played by Anne Dudek) is called "cutthroat bitch" by House also.
  • House gives a "rose" (actually a peony) to each candidate he does not fire. This references The Bachelor.
