Love the way that when he see's the two medicines proving he's right, he throws his head back in the same way he does when he takes his painkillers. Showing how addicted he is to solving the cases as it give him the same euphoria as the medicine. ( EDIT: I'm still receiving notifications for this comment months after I wrote it, most of the comments saying it's reading too deep. I'd like to clarify that over the seasons specifically focusing on House's addiction it is shown how much his drug addiction is tied to his ability to solve cases, specifically season 3 ep1(?) I think. Over many episodes it is clear that House goes FAR beyond the call of reason and legality in order to solve cases and prove himself right. In fact half the show is about himself proving he is right in order to validate his chronic addiction. This "reading into" the specific head movement in the clip is not an isolated event, over many episodes you can see him make the same movement both when taking pills and when uttering the final line that solves the case and diagnoses the illness. Sometimes you can even see him in the diagnostics room when the team are suggesting diseases, he'll tilt his head back partially in an almost tasting sense, trying to see if the given explanation fits the case and is satisfying enough to sate his addiction. Often when that first initial diagnosis is proven wrong he'll jump back to the pills because the euphoria of being "right" immediately wears off. NOW STOP COMMENTING! Edit 2: it has been 8 months. I am still hit with reply notifications regularly. I am resigned to my fate.
