New season proves just as addictive, if not more so, than seasons past, thanks to writers highlighting Jesse Spencer.
For more than two years on FOX’s House we’ve watched a new team of fellows — 13, Taub, and Kutner (well, okay, not Kutner; Kal Penn got a better job last year, and the writers staged his suicide) — pitch diagnostic solutions at Princeton Plainsboro. What was initially intriguing was that these three weren’t all recent med school graduates when House hired them as fellows. The new team came into House’s world with a more mature and more cynical view of life than the original team.…

I like to think that Chase wanted to stay on the seminary but Daddy forced him to study medicine instead. There is/was a strong taste of animosity between him and his father and we never got an explanation as to why that is so. My guess is that Chase "didn't fail the test", as he explained to the nun, but he had to give it up in favor of medicine - and to please his father also, as House is guessing in the same ep. (Mind you, it would have been a shame to make a priest out of Chase!)
I also think Chases Dad is still one of the big mysteries in House Universe, as we never got to know why Chase had been cut out of his will.
Frankly, I don't care so much for details such as timelines. Chase could have been a prodigy for all I know, he proves several times to be most creative in solving a problem. That's what makes him so houselike - among all the other reasons that the article so thoughtfully points out. I really do think that this is one of the best writing I have ever read on Chase and House, and I will forward this link to my House friends. Thank you very much!

Thanks so much for sharing the article!
The writers make it sound like the father was absent during most of those years when Chase was choosing between seminary and/or medicine. But then it wouldn't make sense that Chase's dad called House to get him the job. Also, it doesn't make sense that House would have hired someone just b/c their father called, and that really makes me confused.

Re: Daddy Chase calling House.
I really don't think that House would of hired Chase because his father said go.
House's wording of "His father made a phone call" doesn't necessary mean Daddy Chase asked House to hire is son.
My interpretaion (fanwank) and others, is that Daddy Chase called House 'not' to hire his son. House would of hired Chase Jr because of that.
