　　Lifetime已续订《蛇蝎女佣》第四季。

　　民主党领袖巴特勒（马丁·辛 Martin Sheen 饰）在美国总统大选中赢得胜利，成为美国新一任总统入主白宫。巴特勒总统任期开始，他的竞选团队也开始了在白宫的政治生涯。经验丰富老道的幕僚长李奥（约翰·斯宾塞 John Spencer 饰）作为总统身边最亲近的高级幕僚负责给巴特勒总统提供最关键的政治意见，聪明绝顶的副幕僚长乔西（布莱德利·惠特福德 Bradley Whitford 饰）是李奥的二把手。曾经叱咤比弗利山的媒体公关CJ（艾莉森·珍妮 Allison Janney 饰）将她的镇定与毒舌带到了巴特勒总统的新闻发布室。托比（理查德·希夫 Richard Schiff 饰）和山姆（罗伯·劳 Rob Lowe 饰）负责总统的演讲。政治新人唐娜（简·默勒尼 Janel Moloney 饰）和黑人小伙查理（杜勒·希尔 Dulé Hill 饰）也在摸爬滚打中开始了自己的政治生涯。在以真实历史事件为依托的政治事件中，巴特勒总统及其团队中的每一个人都在上任的第一年经受了前所未有的洗礼，在超高强度的工作中体会着人生中绝无仅有的蜕变。
　　本剧节奏紧凑、情节严谨，由好莱坞著名编剧艾伦·索金于1999年创作并首播。开播后好评如潮。整套剧集从1999年至2007年获得高达177项各类奖项提名和91项奖项授予，其中包括两次金球奖等重要美国电视电影奖项。

　　清晨的一声枪响，打破紫藤社区长期以来的安宁。Mary Alice Young（Brenda Strong 饰）在家中自杀身亡。故事以她叙述的口吻开始，死后的Mary开始环顾四周关心自己邻居的生活：Susan（泰瑞·海切尔 Teri Hatcher 饰）是一个儿童文学作家，对男人毫无抗拒能力，丈夫因为出轨而被Susan提出离婚，有一个正值青春期的15岁女儿Julie。Lynette（菲丽西提·霍夫曼 Felicity Huffman 饰）是个标准的女强人，为了谁成为照顾家中四个幼儿的人而和丈夫约法三章时起冲突。Bree（玛西亚·克劳斯 Marcia Cross 饰）则是个完美主妇，她对自己的一言一行都要求甚高，却总是忽略了丈夫以及儿女对爱的需要，她很优雅，却冷冰冰。而性感的Gabrielle（艾娃·朗格利亚 Eva Longoria 饰）则有着富有又懂情趣的丈夫Calos，但总是禁受不住诱惑而偷情和重视物质享受的她也有着自己不为人知的过往。
　　Mary的死让这群主妇们开始反省自己日常的生活，并且相约要互相倾诉心事。但她们渐渐发现Mary的死背后埋藏着一个惊天秘密，而新来的邻居Mike则似乎与这件事有关……

　　CBS宣布一口气续订三季《生活大爆炸》，合约将一直延长至2016-2017播出季，也就说目前的长度已达到了10季。

两个不同的陌生人相互关联的生活，各自面临各自的斗争，透过英国尘垢和钻孔音乐的棱镜，展现了伦敦内城的视角。

　　继将好兄弟Wilson的爱车开进旧情人Cuddy的客厅后，备受伤害的House终于在等待假释的看守所内找到了新的刺激。当然，编剧没有忘记为House安插新的小朋友进行调教：这次被House征服的是具有一副混血面孔的美丽女医生Adams。
　　House在新剧集里再次展现了惊人的天赋。过人的观察力、大胆的推理、剑走偏锋的行事风格和神乎其技的查体功底一览无遗。曾在Hopkins训练过的高材生Adams医生态度也从开始的倨傲转向惊奇，并最终成为House式行动的追随者。
　　本集的病例依旧稀有。与往常不同，House这次并没有充沛的医疗资源可加利用，诊断完全依靠最原始的手段。一名年轻男子在狱中相继出现了关节痛、发热、皮疹等症状，Adams起初认为是淋病，但House以更有说服力的红斑狼疮推翻了Adams。不过患者的表现远不止这么简单，该男子被烟草熏黄的手指和接下来发生的骨折使House转向晚期肺癌的诊断。此时的House表现出神乎其技的听诊技能：在没有听诊器的情况下House准确地查出患者肺部存在阴影。有经验的临床专家通过轻拍即可了解患者两肺的情况，更有奇人可仅凭听诊估算患者心脏的EF值（射血分数，通常需要心脏超声的帮助来进行模拟计算）。House的天赋大概集中了全世界最有经验医生的传奇，当然，对于绝大多数中庸之资的凡人来说，追求这种境界其实远不如读好一张胸片或安排一次可靠的超声来的保险。House的神奇并没有帮到这名患者，胸片显示该男子的肺部阴影并非癌症。患者极易流血不止的表现也不符合肺癌晚期常有的高凝状态，病情更趋复杂了。除此之外，患者又发生了过敏性休克，幸好有医生在场，简易情形下的气管切开术挽救了这个年轻人的生命。现在，所有的临床表现终于齐全了：凝血功能障碍、皮疹、骨质疏松、过敏，答案会是什么呢？即将离开的House想到了肥大细胞增多症（Mastocytosis）。这种血液系统疾病能够侵犯全身多个系统，并常常表现为发作性过敏。肥大细胞释放组胺等炎症介质，使得患者产生荨麻疹、喉头水肿甚至窒息。不过，潮红、低血压等类过敏征象并非仅限于肥大细胞增多症，在做出此项诊断之前，还需要谨慎考虑脓毒症、类癌综合征、神经内分泌肿瘤如VIP瘤或嗜铬细胞瘤、甲状腺髓样癌等疾患。而这些疾病的排除需要细致的全身检查和多种实验室检查。House的编剧在此简化了细节，选择利用阿司匹林来进行简易诊断。阿司匹林（乙酰水杨酸）是一种环氧化酶抑制剂，可抑制前列腺素（PG）的生物合成，同时又可促进产生过敏介质白三烯（LT），增强肥大细胞诱发的过敏反应。因此，当已有过敏潜质的患者服用阿司匹林后，很可能当场诱发过敏性休克。这将有助于排除上述其他原因造成的类似表现。晚餐上的纸条证明，House又一次猜中了结局。
　　当然，本剧的亮点远非这个case本身。House在深陷江湖危机之时还不忘为室友拯救中毒的宠物蟋蟀，所用的手段仍然令人耳目一新。而这个成功的解救也为后来House乱中解围埋下了伏笔。
　　House的天赋来自编剧。能够写出各种各样奇怪病例的House编剧，医学功底也相当了得。凑巧的是，在《新英格兰医学杂志》上，就刊有一篇关于肥大细胞增多症的病例报告。在这份报告中，患者在使用阿司匹林后过敏症状加重，麻省总医院（MGH）的现实版House们终于经过周密的诊治手段确认了病情。当然，在鉴别分析及治疗细节上，专业的医学期刊所体现的又是另一种美感了。本集House的故事原型，是否脱胎于此呢？而如此专业的态度，大概也正是国内编剧所无法企及的高度了吧。
