HOUSE MAKES A TRIP TO DEATH ROW AND SELA WARD RETURNS ON THE SEASON PREMIERE OF "HOUSE" TUESDAY, DECEMBER 27, ON FOX

LL Cool J Guest-Stars

When Death Row inmate Clarence (guest star LL Cool J) mysteriously and suddenly collapses after hallucinating, House jumps at the chance to take the case for its difficulty and because it's "cool." Dr. Cameron refuses to treat the patient in protest and feels they should treat a cancer patient because she's more deserving, raising the question: is one life more important than another? Meanwhile, House and Stacy (guest star Sela Ward) are adjusting to her working at the hospital. As House goes though his diagnostic process, including having a drink or three with his prisoner patient, Dr. Cameron must come to terms with the fact that she just might not be able to help every patient in the "Acceptance" episode of HOUSE Tuesday, Dec. 27 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. (HOU-201) (TV-TBA)
