Although you've already received some really good answers, I'd like to add my two cents. Cuddy made House do clinic duty and they started betting-basically to prove that he could correctly diagnose patients without touching them. After having to check several patients for VD, one turns up positive (for chlamydia). She is also a rape victim that is now pregnant. House is the ONLY Doctor that she is willing to talk to, so he finally agrees to try and get her to talk. She explains that the reason she wants him is because she thinks he's had pain from his past. He eventually does something House doesn't do - he opens up. He explains that his father verbally and emotionally abused him. He also advises this patient that she should have an abortion, which she reluctantly has (it's against her beliefs). On another note, Cameron treats a homeless man that dies from cancer.

You have already got the rundown on the show. I just want to give you my opinion of it. I thought it was one of the better shows. It gave us an inside look at House's true personality and his inner feelings. It showed a different side of him and I thought the drama of the show was very intense and it had me rivited to the screen. As always the humour was there but the Relationship between House and the rape victim was very well done and it gave us more to think about. I loved the show.

House had to do clinical work which he protested the entire show but Cutty (sp?) said it was that or jail. To get House to do the job, she told him it was $10 to him for every patient he diagnosed without touching, and $10 to her for everyone he touched. The funniest scene, I thought was when he asked a young man to check his own pulse. House told him when to start and stop counting, which was only a few seconds, and the guy said it was 26. House's reply was the he either sucked in math, or was going to die in 2 seconds. House paused and replied "You suck in math". After telling those with runny noses to go home, then bribing others with $50 to leave, he came across a female patient who got a VD from being raped. He didn't want to handle the case, but the patient refused to speak to any other DR. Later we found out she was also pregnant, to which House reccommended abortion. It went into a religious disscussion after that between the two. We got to see a softer side of House. I hope this helps somewhat.

House was told by Cuddy he had to do time in the clinic.
He statred out by having to swab three people who all seemed to have STDs or thought they did.
Next House started paying people to go home 50 dollars each
Suddenly a man ran around screming and holding his head and so House tripped him and paralyzed him then they teste d the guy and it turned out he had a bug in his ear driving him insane.
Back in the clinic, Cuddy started to pay house 10 for every patient he did not touch but charged him 10 dollars for every patient he did touch. He was doing well until a hot looking brunette came in.
Meanwhile Cameron was assigned a teminal patient she had to look after.
House recieved the results from the STD tests, two were negative and one was positive. When he mentioned it to the girl she freaked out and told him not to touch her.
Next thing you know House is telling Cuddy the girl needs a new doctor, she was raped.
They tried to get her to take a psychiatrist but all the girl wanted was House. When the psychiatrist turned her back the girl overdosed.
House went back to being her doctor. She wanted to talk to him. he wanted to know why and she said she saw something in him.
Cameron's patient wanted to die in pain because his father told him that he would die alone and in pain. The Patient was determined to die that way to give meaning to his life, and; he wanted Cameron to watch and not interfere.
Meanwhile everyone kept telling House he had to get his patient to open up about her rape. To add to his troubles Cuddy found out that the girl is pregnant. The girl wants him to tell her who hurt him. He had told her that it was his grandmother but in fact it was his father who made House sleep out on the lawn and take baths in ice water to teach House discipline. The girl returned the story by telling him that her friend raped her at a party. The discussion included an argument about whether God exists and why bad things happen to good people and should the girl keep the baby. House was for an abortion. She was for God.
In the end House won out.
Cameron wound up watching her patient die in pain and then cleaning him out.
Cuddy tells House at the end what the girl did and house is still having problems coming to terms with having to talk to his patients about personal matters.

House connected emotionally and psychologically with a rape victim. Cuddy(sp?) forced him into the situation. For whatever reason the girl only felt comfortable with him. All she wanted to do was talk to him. Eventually he confided in her that he had been physically abused by his father when he was young. Good episode.
God, her answer wasn't very brief, was it?

I did. And frankly, i didn't think it was the best. There was too much drama in it and it was pretty boring. House's patient got raped and tries to discover herself by discovering about House as well.

I saw it.
And can i just say, i LOVE Hugh Laurie.
Sexiest thing alive in my opinion :)
What happened was ;;
Cuddy orders House to two days of nothing but clinic duty. He starts by assembling the many who think they might have an STD. Then he ambles out to the waiting room to see how many patients are left. Suddenly, a man clutches his ear and runs around, screaming in agony. House trips the man with his cane, holds him down and administers a paralytic agent. The man becomes frozen, but at least he's no longer making noise. Unfortunately, they need to intubate because the paralytic has stopped the man's breathing.
House gathers his team to discuss the man's case. House asks what right ear pain, psychotic behavior and dizziness might indicate. Foreman throws out an acoustic neuroma that started to hemorrhage, so House asks for an MRI. Chase mentions that the man could have been psychotic first and mutilated himself. House likes that idea too, and he asks for a full psych work up. He then tells the doctors to pour some alcohol into the man's ear and pull out the cockroach. House knew this was the cause all along. He only wanted a big case to get him out of clinic duty.
Cameron, making the rounds on clinic duty, sees an old, disheveled man who's most likely homeless. He hands her a note and says that the other hospital gave it to him but he cannot read. The note says that the man has a six centimeter cancerous mass in his right lung which is inoperable. The man asks if he can sleep in the hospital because it's cold outside. Cameron finds Cuddy and spills the truth about House and the cockroach patient. Cuddy angrily tracks House down and makes it clear, once again, that either he does clinic duty or she will confess about the evidence against him. He owes her.
House returns to clinic duty and announces to the waiting room that he'll give $50 to anybody who leaves without being seen. Cuddy pulls him back into her office, desperate for a solution. She offers House $10 for every patient he can diagnose without touching. However, he will have to pay her $10 for every patient he does have to touch. So House starts plowing through patients without touching any of them.
The test results come back from the earlier STD patients, and the first two are clean. The third is a 20-something blonde female named Eve who tests positive. Eve breaks down in tears at the news even though House reassures her that Chlamydia isn't all that bad. House tries to hand her some pills, but Eve yells at him to not touch her. House goes to tell Cuddy to get a new doctor for this patient. Eve has been raped.
Cuddy explains to Eve that the hospital will assign another doctor, but Eve insists on House. House says that he isn't interested in treating her because there is nothing to treat. She is perfectly healthy. Eve doesn't care, and only wants to talk to him. House comments that she just wants to reclaim power after being raped. Eve screams at him to leave.
Eve crashes in the clinic. Cuddy and another doctor attend to her, but she is unconscious and foaming at the mouth because of a pill overdose. The doctor tells House that she had talked to Eve for over an hour but the girl said nothing. When the doctor turned her back, Eve grabbed the pill bottle.
House waits for Eve to awake and he asks her what she wants. She only wants to talk to him - about anything. House goes to his team for advice, and they suggest he give the girl his conversation. Cameron angrily says that there is no way that Eve can pretend the rape did not occur. She needs to process it. House returns to Eve and explains to her that she can't blame herself for this. Eve says that she knows that already, but she still wants to talk about nothing.
Cameron's homeless patient is hooked up to a battery of machines and IVs. He pleads with her to stop the treatment because he doesn't want it and doesn't think he deserves it. Although she disagrees, Cameron unhooks the equipment. She visits him later and questions why he wants to suffer. The man asks her why her husband had to suffer. Cameron demands he tell her how he knows about her husband. The man admits that the nurse told him.
House and Eve discuss where they went to college. House still gets no answer on why Eve trusts him. She inquires whether anything terrible has ever happened to him. He hesitates, so Eve flips his own logic back on him. Not knowing what to do, House leaves to go seek counsel. Wilson thinks he should just tell Eve the truth. Cameron advises House to say his life has been wonderful so that the girl has some hope. Foreman suggests he just admit that his life has sucked so that she will see that she too can rebound. Chase notes that there is no wrong answer.
House returns to Eve's bedside and starts into his life story. He says that he was abused by his grandmother. His parents traveled and often left him with her. She was a strict disciplinarian. House never misbehaved when she was around because he was too afraid of being forced to sleep in the yard or of being made to take a bath in ice. He never told his parents. Eve asks if any of his story is true, and House assures her that it all is. She again asks if it is true. House replies that it is the truth for somebody.
Cuddy lets House know that Eve is pregnant. He breaks the news to the girl, then offers her the chance to terminate it. Eve isn't interested because she considers abortion to be murder. House asks her if she wants to take a walk outside to get some air.
Meanwhile, Cameron's homeless patient is still suffering. She tries to force pain medication on him, but he resists. The man says that if he dies suffering, then Cameron will always remember him. Nobody else will remember him. Cameron leaves the syringe next to his bed and sits down across the room. The man later struggles for breath and dies.
House and Eve sit in a park watching people jog by. They continue their philosophical discussion. Eve argues that eternity is what we live for, and House believes that our time on Earth is all we have. Eve refuses to believe that because then there are no ultimate consequences. She needs the comfort of knowing that this all means something.
Eve wonders if her attacker feels remorse for his actions. House asks why that matters. He then inquires why she trusts him. Eve explains that there's something about him, as if he is hurt too. House confesses that his story was true. Yet it wasn't his grandmother but his father who abused him. Eve begins to acknowledge what happened to her to House.
Back at the hospital, House informs Cuddy that Eve terminated her pregnancy and has been discharged from the hospital.
THE END!
