 纵使破解谜团危机四伏，却也能嬉闹度过！ 讲述三个年近四十的老朋友西尔莎（罗伊森·加拉格尔 饰）、罗宾（西妮德·基南 饰）和达拉（基琳·邓恩 饰）的故事。西尔莎是一个成功的作家，有自毁倾向；罗宾有三个儿子，话痨，压力很大；达拉是担任着照顾年迈父母的重任，到现在还住在自己儿时的卧房。 当这三个女人都收到一封电子邮 件，通知她们曾经非常亲密的老同学格蕾塔去世时，显然有一些未说出来的、未完成的事情。三人决定参加格蕾塔的守灵，并发现一切并非那么简单。他们很快发现自己卷入了一个黑暗而扭曲的谜团……

　　40个实习医生为了一个家知名医院（其实就是House那个医院）的3个转正名额进行无数轮的PK选秀，会是什么样的场景？如果你是House医生，肯定也会让这帮愣头青上演一出血战到底的真人秀吧？而且在被House老是修理一番后，他们会压根就不知道 “自尊”这个词是啥意思～
　　艾美奖得主《豪斯医生》第四季将在9月25日再度与美剧迷们见面，在本季中，由于有一票新人要竞争与House共事的机会，所以弄出了一个类似选秀的程序来考核竞聘者们，甚至给他们编了号～（传说中的超级医生？）。“本季中您将会看到典型的House风格的种种挖苦和刁难，除非具备《Survivor》中的角色那样超人的心理和身体素质以及职业技能，恐怕很难有人能入House的法眼。”本季的执行制作人David Shore如是说。
　　本季花了超过8集以上的时间来让有点神神叨叨的House来选秀（不知道有没有点评环节），也就是说，他将会塑造一个又臭又硬的形象～。演员Peter Jacobson 说(出演过The Starter Wife)，Peter Jacobson在本剧中扮演一个在Park Avenue上班的整形外科医生，试图寻找新的生命的意义。“不过，在寻找生命意义的道路上，他也顺道寻找一下辣妹。Hoho～” Jacobson补充道。
　　当然，作为选秀的结果，本剧中理所应当的出现了新角色。Olivia Wilde (出演过The Black Donnellys)，在本剧中出演一个让House搞不定的家伙。他说“每周都会有新人被淘汰出局，大家都希望看到Ryan Seacrest在那煽情的喊' 如果您支持13号选手，请编辑短信13，移动用户发送倒～～联通～～小灵通～～'（也不知道米国是什么号码啦！）"
　　制作人Shore还透露，其他的竞聘者还有Kal Penn（出演过24）扮演的一个觉得“选秀“特酷的傻妞。还有，Edi Gathegi(出演过Lincoln Heights)，将在本剧中扮演一个黑人摩门教徒。
　　搞笑的是，在现实中的演员们为了出演本剧，成为House团队（此处双关）的一员，也是竞争激烈。Shore 说：“我们挑选了许多演员来试镜，但是我们不能决定谁是最佳人选，最后我们决定采用选秀的方式，我们觉得House肯定会同意的。”
　　------------------------------------------
　　HOUSE, an innovative take on the medical drama, solves mysteries where the villain is a medical malady and the hero is an irreverent, controversial doctor who trusts no one, least of all his patients.
　　As Season Four opens, House is without a team to contribute to the perplexing medical cases he undertakes, and Cuddy and Wilson are adamant that he recruit new fellowship candidates. After 40 applicants applied for the newly vacated spots on his team, a group of five doctors -- played by Olivia Wilde, Kal Penn, Peter Jacobson, Anne Dudek and Edi Gathegi -- have emerged as finalists vying for the coveted and hotly contested openings.

　　延续第一季的内容，托尼（尼古拉斯•霍尔特 Nicholas Hoult 饰）因为车祸大脑受到严重的伤害，失去了日常的自理能力，甚至忘记了跟米歇尔爱的回忆。被托尼当成陌生人这件事令米歇尔（艾普萝•皮尔森 April Pearson 饰）非常难过。而此时希德（麦克•拜利 Mike Bailey 饰）也因误会远在英格兰的女友卡瑟（汉娜•穆雷 Hannah Murray 饰）背叛自己，而陷入感情的痛苦中，和曾经的女神米歇尔发生了一段意外的恋爱。麦克西（麦切•赫威 Mitch Hewer 饰）在经历了表白被安瓦（戴夫•帕特尔 Dev Patel 饰）拒绝的纠结痛苦后，重新跟安瓦恢复了朋友的关系，并阴错阳差的结识了一个自己第一个同性爱人。克瑞斯（约瑟夫•戴浦西 Joe Dempsie 饰）依旧生活的放荡不羁，却不想将要重蹈哥哥死亡的命运…

　　宅男宅女，戴好头盔！迪薇和死党们回来了！这次，他们要轰轰烈烈迎向高三生活。

　　Twice a month, Mrs. Bixby travels to Baltimore to visit an elderly aunt, her only living relative. Or so she tells her dentist husband. In fact, she visits the Colonel, her rich lover. Before returning home, he gives her a gift of a fur coat - along with a letter saying that they won't be seeing other any more. Mrs. Bixby decides to pawn the coat but her elaborate scheme to explain the coat to her husband doesn't quite go as planned.

　　Morse is taken seriously ill at a museum reception and is hospitalized. In the hospital, Supt. Strange, visits Morse to push him to take early retirement, while Dr. Millicent 'Millie' Van Buren gives him her book on a 140 year-old court case known as the Oxford Canal Murders. The case involved the murder and rape of a young woman, Mrs Joanna Franks, traveling by canal boat from Coventry to London. The case resulted in three boatmen being sentenced to death and two of them hanged. Morse starts to read Millie's book and dreams about it. He soon has a number of problems with the case.
　　Why weren't the three men also charged with theft? Why did Mrs Franks take a boat instead of a train that was much faster and comfortable and only slightly more expensive? Why didn't she abandon the boat after she complained about lewd behavior of the crew at the shipping office in Banbury? Why did she then drink and 'socialise' with the crew? What happened to her 'carpet bag' with which she arrived on the boat but which was not mentioned in the court case, nor was it stored in the archives with her, almost empty, trunk? The trunk was marked with initials of her first husband who had died. How did it happen that her shoes were found on the boat but nobody saw her return to the boat from the forest?
　　PC Adrian Kershaw does some brilliant leg work for Morse. He studied history and has invaluable background knowledge. For instance, he mentions that the boatmen had bad reputation because they worked on Sundays and did not attend church. Later a chapel was built for them in Oxford.
　　The dead woman's clothes and the shoes found on the boat are submitted to modern forensic investigation. The result is that the shoes did not belong to the dead woman found in the water because she was much taller.The shoes were never used in the forest.
　　Only Mrs Franks' husband, Charles Franks, was called to identify the body of the dead woman. He claimed that, while her face was darkened and disfigured, he found a birth mark behind her ear. The prosecutor welcomed that information "that only a husband or a lover would know". The accused were not shown the body. The defense attorney merely claimed that the guilt of the three men was not proved. All three accused claimed to the end that they were innocent. One of them was not executed because he embraced Christianity in prison.
　　Morse instructs Kershaw to investigate if Charles Franks benefited from his wife's death and, indeed, he pocketed 300 pounds insurance money. Case closed: Charles Franks murdered a tall women and dropped her in the canal after meeting Joanna in the forest. If Joanna Franks jumped off the boat at the same time as the dead body hit the water, she swam to the bank and joined her husband. The couple changed their names, in the case of 'Charles Franks' a second time after he 'died' as Joanna's first husband. The fourth boatman, a youngster who was not charged, was probably paid by Joanna to give false testimony.
　　Morse travels to Ireland and has a grave of Joanna's first husband exhumed. The coffin contains bags of sand and some stones.

　　本季情节贴合80年代的标志性事件，包括核战电影《浩劫后》（The Day After）的上映、前总统里根的星球大战演说、大卫-科波菲尔让自由女神像「消失」的神奇魔术。第四季的核心情节是「这个苏联间谍家庭如何生存（如何自保）」。与此同时，被囚禁在俄罗斯的双重间谍Nina有可能重返美国，与前情人Stan Beeman团聚。请注意这个「有可能」，因为现在谁也说不准。Jennings家的小儿子Henry本季有更多出境时间，他在前两集中经常与邻居Stan待在一起。上一季关注了Paige的变化，或许这一季要关注Henry的变化？此外，Keri Russell的怀孕不会写进剧情中。FX暗示该剧可能在本季或者第五季结束。

　　NBC宣布一口气续订《芝加哥急救 Chicago Med》三季。

　　Aired on HBO , TBS and CW from 4 June 2000 to 15 October 2000
