Dying Changes Everything - S5-E1
Continuity mistake: Right at the end, when House is apologizing to Wilson, watch the bright spot on the TV frame on the wall behind House. In the long shots, the spot is right at the top left corner of the TV. In the close-up shots, the spot is closer to the middle. This is visible every time the shot changes from long to close-up. Light spots do not move depending on the position if the viewer. The only way a light spot changes is if the light source changes position or the reflecting surface changes position (try reflecting a flashlight beam off a mirror and then, leaving the flashlight and the mirror alone, move around. The reflected spot of light will not change position).

Continuity mistake: In the beginning of the episode, when Cuddy presents the case to House, she has her cell phone in her left hand when handing him the file. She doesn't have it in her hand when she slides the file closer to him. When the camera faces her, you can see her arms are bent up while talking to him, and see the phone. When the camera is facing House, Cuddy's arms are hanging down by her sides, no phone. (00:03:05)
Continuity mistake: Becca, the pregnant woman, says that Cuddy must be mad at her for having been a drug addict and possibly causing her baby's lungs to be underdeveloped. While she's talking, her right hand is rubbing her belly. In the close up, the hem of her hospital gown just barely reaches the middle of her tummy. In the immediate next shot, it is much further to the right side. (00:21:20)

Continuity mistake: During the scene in which House is offering up liquor-flavored ice cream he sets the containers in a row down the table 1-2-3-4-5.

Answer: You have the right episode. The big deal at the end about the letters on the pills was to show that Brandon had the wrong pills all along. House was smiling because he was right.
