Answer 1

Do you mean the series called "House" starring Hugh Laurie? They may have renamed it for broadcast in Italy, but in the US it's called "House".

I've linked a complete episode guide below.

Answer 2

House is my husbands Favorite show. We watch it every Tuesday. Im not sure what happened on ep.9, but i can tell you about some of the recent episodes we saw. There is one about a gypsy boy who's parents do not like normal people and they do not like his girlfriend or the treatment he is receivinf from house's team. It ends up that the thing that is wrong with him has to do with his culture.
The the next episode was about a rape victim who comes into the clinic when House is working, and she will only speak with him (it wasn't a very good episode)
Then the next was about a girl who cannot feel any pain, she gets into a car accident with her mother and Houses team is treating her so that she will be able to feel pain, but House thinks that maybe he can get something out of her illness that will help him not feel his leg pain.
The newest episode had Dave Mathews in it. He is mentally retarded and is a piano genius. House wants to make it so that he will be able to learn and do more for himself, but will no longer be any good playing the piano. In this episode House's team, Cuddy, and Wilson find out that House is going to a Boston Hospital. They find his file and see that he is going to dying from brain cancer and he is going there to get treatment. i won't tell you anymore because it wont be shocking for you. i tried not to give you too much info so it ruins the episodes for you.
In two weeks a new episode is on and then for the next nine weeks there will be new episodes then the season is over.

Answer 6

Episode 10 Merry Little Christmas

After Tritter leaves, House goes to Cuddy for pills but she’s meeting with a mother-and-daughter who both have dwarfism, and the daughter Abigail’s lung has collapsed. House is intrigued by the case and runs a diagnosis, but the mother Maddy is unimpressed by House’s sarcasm toward her… which impresses him. Cuddy confronts Wilson who isn’t thrilled with him ratting out his friend and notes House won’t take the deal. Wilson thinks House will have no choice.

House is running a differential diagnosis and believes it’s liver related, when Cuddy takes House off the case and cuts off his Vicodin. The staff runs a MRI on Abigail while discussing House’s problems, and confirm that her liver is failing as she vomits blood. Wilson suggests liver cancer but Cameron thinks she’s too young. Afterward Wilson confronts Cameron over her hostility and Cameron asks it wasn’t an easy choice. She points out that his motives weren’t pure, giving him something to consider.

Foreman comes into Cuddy’s office to find House working on her desk. He wants to know what House saw and gives him a test, but House refuses to get involved… until House offers him one diagnosis for Foreman opening one drawer. Foreman agrees and House notes the problem is global and it will hit her pancreas next. Unfortunately for House there’s no Vicodin in the drawer.

Chase comes back with Abigail’s home drugs, including treatment for ear infection, and Cuddy figures out that House gave Foreman the diagnosis, but the pancreas test is negative. House go to another emergency room and claims to have been in a car accident to get some painkillers. It doesn’t work.

Foreman and Wilson prepare liver tests but Abigail passes out as her pancreas fails. Cuddy goes to House but neither one will back down. Cuddy goes to the staff and Cameron believes its Lupus while Wilson figures it’s cancer. Cuddy orders tests for both but Maddy’s is unimpressed and wants to hear from House. Cameron goes to House’s apartment where he’s clearly in bad shape, and has been cutting himself to release endorphin to relieve the pain. Cameron doesn’t have any pills and tells him to take the deal, and he wonders if she’s been sick. He wonders if her ear infection is significant and suggests a treatment for Still’s Disease, but refuses to yield.

Cameron reports to Cuddy who notes that Still’s Disease can’t be readily diagnosed, but she orders the treatment. House comes in later to confront Wilson and ask for a drug to stop vomiting. Wilson refuses and leaves, but House spots Abigail’s folder and takes a look. He then goes in to interrupt Wilson with Mrs. Zebalusky, the wife of a dead patient to assert his diagnosis was correct. The widow asks him to leave but as he does, Wilson figures out he snagged some painkillers from the dead man’s bedside.

Abigail starts to recover and Cuddy notes that neither Wilson or she could have figured it. Later, Wilson meets with Tritter but refuses to testify. Tritter says they’ll subpoena him and he’ll go to jail with House. While House gets some drugs by claiming to be getting them for Zebalusky, Abigail starts bleeding.

It’s back to differential and Wilson suggests leukemia, but Cameron is skeptical and still insists it’s auto-immune. Cuddy asks for a half hour. Down in the cafeteria, a much better House is chatting with a little girl and her stuffed dog when Cuddy offers him Vicodin but quickly figures out he got drugs. House figures out that Abigail doesn’t suffer from skeletal dwarfism but rather a pituitary problem. And that means House figures she’s suffering from both cancer and auto-immune. Gulping down pills, House explains to Maddy and Abigail that Abigail isn’t a dwarf and her condition can be treated. Abigail is reluctant to have her height problem treated because right now she’s unique. House leaves and Maddy confronts him over it. House points out they’re both freaks and Abigail should have a chance at not being a freak. Maddy goes in to tell her daughter to take the treatment and be “normal” no matter what.

Later Wilson visits House in his office and reveals Abigail decided to get the treatment. It’s Christmas Eve and the deal runs out the next day. Wilson offers his friend company but House isn’t interested. Back at his apartment, House considers the pills and then calls his mom and leaves a message saying “Merry Christmas.” He then takes some pills with alcohol. Later Wilson arrives and comes in to find House on the floor vomiting from a combination of the alcohol and the new painkillers.

Later House goes to visit Tritter and takes the deal. Tritter refuses, saying he has new evidence and doesn’t need Wilson’s testimony. He got hold of the pharmacy logs for Zebalusky and has what he needs. He leaves, wishing House a Merry Christmas.

Episode 11 Words and Deeds

At a fire, two firefighters come out and the head of the squad chews them out for taking risks. One of them, his brother Derrick, starts to get dizzy and tries to go back in. His co-worker Amy stops him and he collapses to the ground, shivering.

Derrick is brought to the clinic where Cameron checks him out where he is covered with skin grafts from previous burns. Cameron suggests that House see the patient but notes that House is busy… without mentioning he’s at the preliminary hearing for his drug case. House pleads not guilty although his lawyer notes that Tritter has an airtight case, and advises House not to confront Tritter.

At the hospital Foreman and Chase are more concerned about House’s legal problems then the case and House himself is distracted. Only Cameron is focusing on the case. Afterward Cuddy confronts House and points out that he’s at fault for his current situation and he’d better talk nicely to Tritter, then gives him some Vicodin.

After hearing that Derrick is seeing blue, House suspects male menopause and proscribes hormones. As they administer treatment, Derrick has an apparent allergic reaction and demands they remove the needles. He starts to choke Cameron until they give him a sedative.

House goes to meet with Tritter and… apologizes. Tritter thanks him… but doesn’t believe what he’s saying. He notes he only believes what House does, and says he’ll se him at the trial.

Back at the office, House hears the new case information but doesn’t offer any new theory. After they’re done, he leaves and says he’ll be checking himself in rehab. Wilson and Cuddy confront him later at the rehab center and House notes he’s doing it for Tritter and the judge… and for real. House’s staff goes over Derrick’s case without him but Cameron insists they talk to House.

House is in a group session and somewhat hostile, but concedes he can’t do it on his own. The staff Derrick isn’t telling them the pain he’s feeling but then he has a heart attack and they take steps to revive him. It turns out Derrick has had two previous heart attacks and didn’t tell anyone. There’s no indication why he should have a heart attack, so Cameron goes to see House… who is vomiting. They try to figure out a common cause between the attacks, but Amy is the only one. They bring Amy in to see him and he has another heart attack.

Cameron starts to run tests to determine what Amy has that might trigger Derrick’s attacks, and she talks about how Derrick saved her and got burned, getting the skin grafts. Wilson goes to see House at the rehab clinic and isn’t sympathetic to House’s complaints. Cameron confronts Derrick about the fact he loves Amy and he admits it, but notes she’s engaged to his brother. The staff go back to tell House and suggest the stress of the thwarted relationship, along with the menopause, is causing the heart attacks. House determines they need Cuddy to get her approval to fry Derrick’s brain, erasing his memories of Amy. Cuddy approves the treatment but after the others leave, House questions if Cuddy feels sorry for him and approved the treatment as a result. She notes that the rehab is working.

Cameron explains the situation to Derrick, noting it will wipe out his memories of much of his life. He still refuses to tell Amy.

Tritter goes to see House at Cuddy’s insistence but doesn’t’ plan on dropping the case. House calls him on it, noting Tritter is just as stubborn but Tritter figures with House, even his actions lie.

The staff administers the electroshock therapy and then test him afterward. Derrick has no memory of his life and doesn’t recognize Brock or Amy. They update House and then leave as Wilson arrives with a gift: a tie for his court hearing. House apologizes to Wilson as part of the program, shocking him.

Amy keeps an eye on Derrick but when Cameron mentions her engagement, she says she’s not involved with him.

House is at his trail when he gets a call from Cameron to tell him the heart attacks have nothing to do with his memories. He refuses to hang up on the judge’s orders but tells them to set up a test while he goes back to the clinic. He realizes that Derrick’s high-pitched voice is another symptom and has them check his arteries. They find that the spine is pressing on an artery, obstructing blood flow to the brain and causing fake memories.

House returns to the trial where Cuddy is testifying to House stealing the painkillers from the dead patient. She then testifies that House didn’t get the right pills. Wilson had told her House tried to steal the pills earlier and she swapped the pills for a placebo, and has the evidence to support it. She admits she didn’t expect it to go this far. The judge has no choice but to dismiss the case and berates both House and Tritter. She still holds him for a night in jail for contempt. As House leaves, Tritter confronts him and… wishes him luck.

Cameron tries to reassure Derrick, saying he’ll have to start over. Wilson and Cuddy visit House in jail and Cuddy admits she perjured herself. She notes that when he is out of rehab, she’ll own his *** and doing everything she wants him to. After she leaves, Wilson gives him his prescription from the rehab center… and House reveals that he’s bribed his keeper to get him Vicodin. Wilson wonders why House apologized then… and House tells him to believe what he wants.

Episode 12 One Room One Day

House enters Cuddy’s office and she tells him he’ll be doing clinic work. House isn’t thrilled but has no choice and has to listen to the patients’ various sexually-related problems. He tries to get out of it when a man comes running in screaming in pain and clutching at his head. House finally trips him and gives him a sedative. House takes advantage of the man to get Cuddy to let him run a diagnosis and get out of clinic duty.

House quickly runs his staff through an extended diagnosis, only to reveal the man has a bug in his ear. He then takes off for the park to escape Cuddy and clinic duty. Meanwhile, Cameron takes on a homeless man who has cancer. She then tells Cuddy that House doesn’t have a case, and Cuddy goes to the park to confront him. He reveals he’s on Vicodin and out of rehab, and forces him back to the clinic.

House is stuck with more patients and then starts paying them to leave. Cuddy isn’t thrilled and finds a way to make it interesting: she’ll pay him $10 for each patient he can diagnose without touching. He agrees and goes on a rampage of treatment then he’s back to the original batch of patients with STDs. He ends up with a rape victim, Eve, who lashes out at him. He concludes she was raped and goes to Cuddy, suggesting he might not be the right doctor for her.

Cuddy assigns another doctor, Stone, but Eve insists that House treat her. House talks to her and Eve says she doesn’t know why and House suggests she is trying to get control over him, and she tells him to get out. Cameron orders more treatment with the homeless man to make him comfortable and he insists she stop the treatment. House treats another patient and notes Stone talking to Eve. He’s interrupted when one of his patients that he paid $50 comes back, but then Eve grabs sedatives and overdoses herself.

When Eve wakes up, House talks to her briefly. His staff differs on how House should handle her and he decides to get her talk to him about the rape. Meanwhile Cameron tries to deal with the homeless man who claims he promised his father that he would die alone and miserable. The homeless man then knows or guesses that Cameron’s husband died, and says he just needs someone to remember him.

House goes over the situation with Eve and she suggests he wants to talk about something that matters. House goes to talk to Wilson and admits he doesn’t know how to answer her questions. Wilson suggests she wants to share with her but House doesn’t want to share his life experiences. Cameron suggests he lies and Eve wants hope. Foreman suggests House say his life sucks. Chase suggests House keep her asleep.

House finally talks to Eve about his grandmother that made him miserable when he stayed with her while his parents traveled. She thinks he’s lying and she gets angry. Cuddy interrupts to reveal that she ran a test and Eve is pregnant.

He talks to Eve who plans on keeping the baby. House suggests she get an abortion and tries to discuss the philosophy, until he admits he’s more comfortable discussing theory then personal matters. Meanwhile, the homeless man demands that Cameron remember him and insists he die in pain to ensure it. Cameron agrees not to give him treatment.

House takes Eve to the park where she is upset over the challenge to her religious convictions. She admits she needs the comfort of knowing her life means something and wonders what House’s excuse is for not feeling comforted.

Cameron’s patient passes away in his bed as she looks on. And Eve finally breaks down and tells House what happened, and he says he’d like to hear what happened.

Later Cameron tends to her patient’s body while House and Wilson play foosball. House informs Cuddy that Eve got the abortion and she tells him he helped. House doesn’t think he accomplished anything positive, and he doesn’t know why he helped her. Wilson asks if he’s going to follow up with her, and he notes he can only handle one room in one day.

Episode 13 Needle in a Haystack

A boy and girl are making out in a car when there’s a knock on the car as a policeman shows up and tells them to move on in a bit. After he leaves, they go at it again but the boy, Stevie, has respiratory distress and the girl Leah first calls for help then drives him to the clinic.

House arrives at the clinic and finds that his handicap spot has been assigned to someone else and he’s been reassigned further. Foreman gives him Stevie’s case and House runs an initial diagnostic, but is more interested in confronting Dr. Whitner, who has his handicapped spot. She isn’t willing to give up her spot. Meanwhile Foreman checks out Stevie who refuses to give them a way to contact his parents and has an attack. Foreman treats him and it becomes clear Stevie has some scientific and medical knowledge. They notice that despite the fact he has a blood effusion, there are no signs of blood in the lungs.

Chase and Cameron go to Stevie’s house and find it exceedingly dirty. Chase finds a couple having sex in the bedroom, but it turns out the couple are having an affair and Stevie gave them the wrong address. Stevie admits that he’s Romany--gypsy--and they don’t share information with outsiders. He admits he smoked pot but he refuses to give them his address as they would “contaminate” it if they go in. Cameron suggests the pot might have a pesticide that caused the bleeding, but Leah gave it to him.

When House gets no luck with Cuddy getting his handicap slot back, they make a bet that if he can stay in a wheelchair for a week she’ll give him his slot back. The staff meet for a new differential diagnosis. House insists there’s some kind of leak and they need to speed it up by thinning his blood. As Cameron starts to inject the dye, Stevie goes into convulsions as the dye is stuck in his liver as if fails.

It’s back to differential diagnosis and a new round of tests, and House visits with a child patient whose mother thinks he’s faking to get out of school. House prepares to give the boy Jack a painful injection and the mother backs down.

They give Stevie a MRI while Foreman suggests he go back to school rather than follow the family trade. They find a granuloma as Stevie’s parents show up and demand an explanation. Meanwhile House is working to get back into his car when Foreman says it’s Wagners and wants a biopsy, but House warns the liver will be gone before they can complete it, and recommends medical treatment.

The next day Stevie’s parents provide him with food, clothing, and special treatment much to Foreman’s distaste. The parents arrive and insists on providing “balance,” while not happy with Leah the outsider who has left. Wilson argues with House about his stubbornness in staying in the wheelchair. Leah returns and Stevie’s parents insist on her leaving, but Stevie starts bleeding from the bladder.

Tests reveal Stevie’s liver is improving but now his bladder is bleeding out and the treatment for Wagner’s is making him worse. House believes the treatment is wrong and they need a more precise treatment, immune modulation. It’s not FAA approved and House says to claim it’s something that it’s treatable for. Stevie’s parents refuse to allow him to receive an experimental drug. House suggests Foreman work on his salesmanship technique while House faces off with Whitner who thinks he’ll back down.

Foreman returns to Stevie’s room to find his relatives present and reluctant to leave. Foreman manages to get them out and then tries to get Stevie to agree to the experimental treatment as they’re out of options. Foreman gets him to believe him by saying if his parents find out he’ll lose his license, but before Steve can take the pills his spleen ruptures. Foreman checks for Wagner’s but can’t find the granulomas confirming Wagner’s. House wants them to check his bowel but when the surgeon ignores him, he’s forced to wheel his way into the operating theater. When the surgeon still ignores him, House gets up out of the chair and checks out the bowel looking for granulomas. As Stevie’s blood pressure drops, House is forced to have Foreman take over and he finally realizes he doesn’t have Wagner’s, and the parents were right.

The parents won’t let the staff near Stevie so House draws the paths of the symptoms and suggests they check the colon. Since he’s in the ICU and the parents have limited visiting privileges, Foreman suggests they sneak in there when they’re not looking. While waiting to go in, House admits to Wilson he hasn’t got a legal leg to stand on… but is going to get the spot anyway. House then insults the parents to get their attention while the staff check Stevie’s colon and spot a toothpick. Stevie accidentally swallowed a toothpick and it penetrated his intestinal wall while he and Leah were making out and since it was the same density as the tissue they didn’t spot it on the previous tests.

Foreman shows the toothpick to Stevie and suggest he can get him onto the staff as a lab technician, but Stevie admits he doesn’t want to give up on his family, and that the staff doesn’t have any family. Later House confronts Cuddy who notes he got out of his wheelchair and he lost. House points out Whitner knew she was going to win and Cuddy was never going to give him the space. House guilts her with the fact she was never going to honor her agreement, and then plans to take advantage of it to get his spot.

Later Stevie leaves with his family as Foreman looks on, then spends the night alone. And House limps out and sees that Cuddy has given him back his parking spot.

Episode 14 Insensitive

A mother and daughter are driving home from the skating rink and the mother is concerned that she fell, and that her friends weren’t careful enough The girl, Hannah, is upset, and the mother is going to have the doctors check her and warn Hannah’s friends off. They’re hit by a truck and Hannah tries to get free to get her unconscious mother out. Hannah calls 911 and says she’s fine… unaware that there is a piece of metal in her leg.

House comes in to find Foreman and spars with his current girlfriend, then sees him tending to Hannah. House quickly determines she is insensate to pain and orders tests suspecting something is wrong, then goes to talk to Cuddy. He quickly realizes that Cuddy has a blind date and teases her a bit. Hannah refuses to let them test and House goes to see her while poking away at Foreman about his relationship. House then confronts Hannah and they compare symptoms until House can trick her into letting him give her a sedative so they can run tests. Later Cameron checks Hannah’s temperature and the girl passes out, overheating. They apply ice packs as she goes into shock.

House suggests a biopsy of the spinal nerve, risking Hannah's possible paralysis, but Foreman thinks it’s just a fever. When his staff stands against it, House goes to Cuddy. Hannah’s mother is in bad shape and so far they’re keeping it from Hannah. To avoid testing her, Chase suggests they inflict more pain on Hannah to find a tender spot.

Cuddy meets with her blind date, Bobby, and they get along until House shows up to ask for the nerve biopsy. While House interrogates her date, Cuddy challenges the need for the tests and she quickly gives in.

Chase runs the pain tests on Hannah while she asks about her mother. Hannah inadvertently gets second degree burns and Chase tries to comfort her. Foreman then prepares to drill into her skull to inflict more pain. Foreman and Hannah chat about her mother and how she tries to get her mad, then Hannah starts to react. She runs off in panic.

Wilson confronts House about Hannah and how House is examining her out of curiosity. They’re interrupted when Foreman comes in to warn she’s prepared to jump off the second-floor balcony. They try to comfort her in her paranoia and then her legs go numb and she falls to the floor below.

They put the now-paralyzed Hannah back into bed and run more tests, but she’s more concerned about her mother. They can’t account for the paralysis but along with the paranoia indicates a neural condition. Cameron suspects the thyroid and House goes to check with a specialist… and goes to see Cuddy at her house, claiming he can’t find anyone else. Her date is there with her and House eventually figures it out, and she points out he’s suddenly interested in her and suspects he’s jealous. House denies it and Cuddy leaves him at the door after telling her it isn’t the thryroid. But Herrick overhears them talking and tells her that she’s more interested in House than anything else, and he’d rather date that woman.

House goes back to run the nerve biopsy and he ends up going to Wilson, who points out that House is using Hannah’s condition to find a cure for himself. He calls House on it, pointing out that House is biased and House stalks out and orders the biopsy the safest way they can.

Cameron and Foreman discuss their respective relationships, and the fact she married a dying man to avoid commitment. Cameron finds something interesting: Hannah’s nerves are degenerating from something systemic that’s affecting the nerves. Cameron interrupts to leave as Hannah’s mother is out of surgery, and she’s more concerned about reassuring Hannah then diagnosing her, to House’s displeasure. Hannah’s mother wakes up and is apologetic over causing the accident and hurting Hannah. Hannah’s mother passes out and as she goes into surgery, Hannah starts feeling first her own tears and then a headache.

It’s back to differential diagnostic and they conclude emotional pain caused the reaction and they were arguing about whose fault it was. House factors in guilt and suggests they give her a shot of B-12… but ER already did. House goes to see Wilson after ordering bone marrow tests for leukemia. House realizes she has B-12 deficiency and something else ate the injection. Hannah has another paranoid episode and takes her to the OR, interrupting the current surgery. They cut her stomach open without anesthesia and House removes… a 25’ tapeworm.

Later Hannah’s mother is brought in to see Hannah while Abby confronts Foreman who breaks up with her. She points out he’s trying to maintain his personal space and his angry at him… and House. Cuddy is sleeping alone, while Wilson suggests that House ask Hannah for the nerve sample for his possible cure. House declines and they head out for breakfast. Chase and Cameron head out and she suggest they have sex, as Chase is the one she’s least likely to fall in love with. Chase considers whether he should be offended… and then agrees.

Episode 15 Half Wit

At a concert hall, a performer prepare to go out with the aid of his father. They go out on stage and the father introduces Patrick and explains there was an accident and now they are raising money for people with similar neurological disabilities. Patrick begins to perform but then starts missing notes. Patrick then complains of head pains. and his hands are horribly twisted.

Cameron arrives in the staff room to find a bag waiting for her, and they’ve all been called in on House’s order to check out Patrick. While Foreman runs tests on Patrick, House deals with a clinic patient with bad breath, taking a blood sample. When Foreman’s tests prove negative, House goes to see Patrick and takes a piano. After Patrick performs, House orders a MRI to “see the music” and has Patrick pretend to play. they then detect specific brain activity and indications of a heart condition, and House orders surgery. Meanwhile Cameron has checked House’s mail and sees he’s been offered a position at a hospital in Boston.

Cameron and Chase go to House’s apartment to look for clues while Foreman inserts a probe into Patrick’s heart. He has a seizure and they have to revive him. Meanwhile, Cuddy calls Boston but they say he’s not offered a job and she figures he’s there as a patient. She goes to talk it over with Wilson when she realizes that House is seeing an oncologist specializing in brain cancer. She wonders why House isn’t displaying symptoms but Wilson warns that it depends on how far along the cancer is.

They prepare to sedate Patrick for treatment but he panics then has a seizure. Cameron confronts Wilson who then goes to see House and tell him he knows about the brain cancer. House dismisses his concerns and Chase says they’ve found internal bleeding into the brain that accounts for the symptoms, but no reason for the bleeding. It quickly becomes clear the rest of the staff know House has cancer. House is more concerned about Patrick and wants to know why Patrick’s brain is getting worse. House has Patrick taken off the anti-seizure treatment so they can do a pep scan as he has more violent seizures.

Cameron comes to House with a recommendation letter for her that she’s typed up for him to sign, as she’s applying for another job. House wishes her well and she moves forward to kiss him.. and then tries and takes a blood sample. House catches her at it then tells her he already has a blood sample and scans on file. The staff quickly determine that House has an inoperable brain cancer with only a year left to live.

Patrick has another seizure while the staff determine House is taking anti-depressants. House still works on Patrick’s case and notices that one side of his brain is working more than the other and he wants more tests. When they prefer to work on House’s case, House goes to work with Patrick, who has no interests other than the piano. House notes white blood cells in Patrick’s sample and orders a full-body biopsy. That isn’t workable, so Foreman suggests they do an EEG from inside Patrick’s brain so they can figure out where to do a brain biopsy. Foreman want to talk to House personally but his boss shuts him down.

Once Foreman runs the test, he goes back to House and holds the results hostage to force him to hear what he has to say. Foreman admits he likes House although House doesn’t believe it. Foreman admits one side of his brain is brain-dead.

House considers the case and wonders if there is still some brain activity in the dead section. Since Patrick can still play, they determine it’s auto-immune and House lets Foreman run tests while Chase decides to give his boss an awkward hug. He then reveals Patrick is starting to respond but House has something else in mind. House then goes to see Cuddy and suggest that they remove half of Patrick’s brain to restore full function to the other half. She says to check with Patrick’s father and he then accepts a hug in return for a grope.

House goes to Dr. Obyedkov and runs the treatment by him, pointing out the father doesn’t have to deal with a more developed Patrick. Meanwhile the staff continue to go over House’s test samples and Chase notices something odd.

Dr. Obyedkov talks to Patrick and asks if he’s happy. When Patrick can barely respond, Obyedkov agrees to the surgery. Meanwhile the staff go to House and reveal that the test was wrong and he’s not going to die. House reveals it was a set up and he wanted the doctors in Boston to insert a device to stimulate his pleasure center.

Later Wilson confronts House while noting Patrick’s surgery went well. Wilson comments on the irony of how people with cancer push people away, and House faked his cancer to do the same thing. He suggests that House break down a little and go out with a friend.

House checks up on Patrick who won’t be talking for a while, but he can now button his shirt, and is happy. Later House leaves and notices the others at a bar getting together, and starts to reach for the door knob…
