TV Guide’s Possible Answer to Kristin’s Riddle

Episode 5.11: Joy to the World
Air Date: December 9, 2008

After some more searching about for the answer to tonight’s episode, I got an email from my contact at TV Guide with a tip about this interview with Lisa Edelstein. In it, she answers several questions that just might answer the riddle about why tonight’s episode will be emotional. Here’s an excerpt:

TVGuide.com: Let’s tease best we can this week’s episode. Fox says, cryptically, “Cuddy receives a gift.”
Edelstein: Right….

TVGuide.com: Is it bigger than a breadbox?
Edelstein: Yes, it is. [Pauses] Well, that’s debatable. How big is a loaf of bread …? It’s bigger than some breadboxes.

TVGuide.com: All in all, is it a pretty emotional episode?
Edelstein: It’s a very emotional episode. There’s a really interesting case that comes in that Cuddy becomes fixated by. She’s the one that has the House-ian “A-ha” moment that we see him have a lot. It was a really challenging episode, in a great way, with a wonderful guest star (B.K. Cannon).

TVGuide.com: What else is ahead for Cuddy this season?
Edelstein: I don’t want to say too much, but she definitely has some new challenges coming her way. She has a lot more on her plate.

Sounds like a baby to me… But you really should go read the whole interview because she talks a lot about the Huddy relationship and also about her stripper-pole performance last season. It’s a great interview!
