It struck me as VERY odd. What was the point of making him a witch, when they then just completely dropped it?

So, it made me wonder if anyone else here saw the episode and had any reaction to it. What did you think of that scene? What did you think of the fact that it ended up being totally irrelevant?
I'm glad you brought this up -- I had a serious "WTF?" moment when I was watching it. But honestly, I kind of forgot about it as I watched the rest of the episode, which (as a huuuge House fan) was one of the best episodes I've seen this season.
My guess is that they had a bunch of spooky witchy props from decorating their Ren Faire set and they wanted to make sure they got some air time for what they had to pay for them.
