House (Hugh Laurie) isn't the only one who feels betrayed when Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard) cuts a deal with Detective Tritter (David Morse), whereby all charges against House will be dropped if he agrees to spend two months in drug rehab. Elsewhere, having already cut off House's Vicodin supply, Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein) also takes him off the case of Abigail (Kacie Borrowman), a 15-year-old dwarf suffering from anemia and a collapsed lung. But without House's input, a diagnosis of Abigail's situation won't come easily. And with House unable to reach a détente with the vengeful Tritter, it looks like a Merry Christmas is not in the cards. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

During the annual convention of the International Organization of Little People, dwarf Lawrence Ames apparently hangs himself in his casino hotel room. Despite initial evidence pointing to suicide, Grissom (William L. Petersen) suspects foul play. Elsewhere, Catherine (Marg Helgenberger) investigates the murder of a woman found surrounded by electron equipment, apparently committed during a home invasion at the victim's ritzy Las Vegas townhouse. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
What's a middle-aged woman to do when her husband walks out on her and her favorite pop star is murdered by a serial killer? Writer/director P.J. Hogan explores this and many other pressing questions in Unconditional Love, a comic murder-mystery he devised with his wife and co-screenwriter, Jocelyn Moorhouse. Their heroine, Grace Beasly (Kathy Bates), finds her placid Midwestern life turned upside down after she loses both of the aforementioned men in her life: her husband (Dan Aykroyd) and the Tom Jones-like, Welsh singing star Victor Fox (Jonathan Pryce), whom she unabashedly worships. After Fox's death, Grace impetuously flies to England for his funeral. Paying an uninvited visit to his countryside estate, she discovers Dirk Simpson (Rupert Everett), Fox's longtime, secret live-in lover, who's also in a state of shock following the senseless murder. Together, the two team up, traveling back to the Windy City to find the infamous "Crossbow Killer" who took Fox's life. After receiving a fall 2002 release in the U.K., Unconditional Love had its U.S. premiere on the Starz network in August 2003. ~ Michael Hastings, Rovi
