House's latest patient is a pro football prospect with strange face-bashing rage blackouts. He begs House to diagnose and treat him in time for a game where he'll get a chance to impress NFL scouts. Yeah, that's not going to happen. Especially since the game is in just a few days and the team needs at least a week of incorrect diagnoses before House can figure out the real problem. In the end, he has skin cancer that was cleverly disguised by the fact that he's black and the Cottages mistook the melanoma on his foot for a football injury. Onto the more important stuff! House and Wilson appear to be engaged in yet another prank war until it turns out that there's a third, unknown perpetrator behind it all: Lucas, trying to get revenge on both of them for stealing the condo Cuddy wanted. Because using a cripple's handicap against him is great good fun! Even though House kind of deserves it for being his usual jerk self to a Clinic patient who wants a medical reason to prevent his deployment and ends up having a foot amputated. At least his jerkiness to Foreman's fresh-out-of-jail brother had an ulterior motive of niceness, to give the Foreman brothers a common enemy they could bond against. But first, he must antagonize Foreman by hiring his brother to work as his assistant to pump him for embarrassing li'l Foreman stories about bed-wetting and car-stealing.
