House's patient this week is a woman with a perfect memory, something she says makes her special but doesn't seem to have done much for her in her life, since she's a waitress estranged from her family due to being unable to forget any of the bad things they've done to her. Her sister still wants to make peace, though, and wins serious brownie points by donating one of her kidneys to her ailing sister, but it's still not enough for Nadia. House eventually figures out that her memory, along with everything else, is actually a symptom of McLeod's Syndrome, which can somehow cause sufferers to get OCD, which manifested itself in Nadia through her love of puzzles and her memory, which is not some superhuman skill but the result of her brain obsessively going over every detail of her life over and over again. Chase suggests that she take SSRIs to control the OCD -- it will take away her perfect memory, but it will also allow her to have relationships with other people, like her sister, again.
Also having trouble with relationships is Wilson, whose new, diabetic pet cat, House believes, will doom him to being girlfriend-less forever. House tries to help Wilson replace the cat with a woman, but Wilson says he needs more time. Taub and Foreman strengthen their relationship with each other when Foreman is assigned to help Taub study for a pathology test and Taub ends up moving in with him.
