The show started with House eating and watching TV in a patient’s room.
Wilson walked in and asked “What are you doing here? I thought you always ate with Coma Guy?”
House replied, “Meet Vegetative State Guy. Better company. Hey! Tell him about those sherpas you dropped acid with in St. Patrick’s Cathedral.”
I love that sarcasm! I’m chuckling, even as I’m typing…House was in rare form in this episode.
Then things got immediately tense when Wilson confronted House about stealing his prescription pad and forging his name. House wanted to know what Wilson told the cop and he said that he had lied. Wilson told him that they could put House away for ten years after they took his license to practice medicine.
House replied, “So, everything’s good then.”
Wilson repeated, “I lied to the cops!”
House said, “There is no case unless they can prove that I either got the drugs illegally or sold them illegally. I didn’t do the second and you lied about the first. Game over”
Wilson warned him, “Tritter’s just playing, he’s going to see how clever you are, then just walk away…”
House said, “The important thing is that you keep prescribing the same amount of drugs to me or it’ll look suspicious.”
Wilson, “Here’s another way to look at it, having forced me to lie to the police, your first concern is securing your drug connection”
Just then, a young man entered the room, took at look at them and asked if they were joining his father for lunch. He said he should have called ahead for a table.
House then did some quick, strange diagnosing of the young man an told him he had a disorder that keeps him from seeing things when they move. He said that he would probably also have seizures and by blinking the lights he had tried to set one off. At that moment, the young man fell to the floor and started to seize.
House stated, “God, I love this family!”
