Ballbuster House is shot and wakes up in the ICU with a healed leg and an increasingly loose grasp on reality, taking the audience with him. By the end, no one knows what, if anything, in this episode is real. We really hope, for House's sake, that the Patient of the Week's exploding body parts are not. |

A Bevy Of Heavy
Heavy - A girl whose heaviness precludes her from having any friends has a heart attack, and then her skin starts to die. Was it caused by diet pills and Cameron's bumbling, or something else? Does a proud, if heavy clinic patient have natural curves, or something else? And could those "Vogler is evil!" anvils be any heavier? |

Brothers In Harms
Mob Rules - A mobster threatens House and slaps Chase when his brother's secret homosexuality puts him in a coma. Down in the Clinic, another set of brothers make return visits because the older brother can't watch his baby brother well enough to prevent him from sticking things up his nose. And Vogler tries to fire House, but Cuddy bargains him down to letting one of the Cottages go. |

Women Have No Control
Control - Especially if their names begin with "C." Cuddy, Cameron, and Patient of the Week Carly all try to maintain, or in Cameron's case, create, their positions of power. And all of them are toppled by men, or in Carly's case, a bulimia-caused heart failure. Also, Chase screws up an angiogram due to the presence of a female. Why do we even let women have jobs? |

Right And Wrong
Cursed - House plays Chase and his father against each other to satisfy his curiosity about their relationship, and also because he might -- just might -- care. Both Chase men end up being right and wrong about their diagnoses of a young boy whose hero-worship of his dad is about to crumble like a leper's face -- a metaphor that is also both right and wrong. |

Water Sports
Sports Medicine - A baseball player's arm breaks due to his having unusually thin bones because of a Mysterious Disease. It looks like the only cure for what ails him is a kidney transplant that will also mean the death of his unborn child. Fortunately, he pees on House and that makes everyone happy. |

No Pain, No Gain
Detox - When Cuddy dares him to go off the Vicodin for a week, and dangles a month of no clinic duty in front of him as incentive, House detoxes -- and biffs a diagnosis. Or does he? Because he says he's fine. Also, it's an Election/Mean Girls reunion. |

Oedipus Complex
Poison - The dynamic relationships of mothers and sons weave throughout this episode's A and B cases, the former being a dying teen whose mother clashes with everyone on staff, and the latter being an insufferable adult who dismisses his elderly mother's newfound love of Ashton Kutcher, and then House, as nothing to worry about when she actually has syphilitic brain damage. |

Low Fidelity
Fidelity - A wife has African Sleeping Sickness, but the only way she could have gotten it was if she or her seemingly devoted husband cheated. The doctors can't treat her until the guilty party fesses up, but no one's talking, except Cameron and her Issues. |

Pennies From Hell
The Socratic Method - If you aren't convinced that copper is the work of the devil after this episode, you never will be. The mother of Friedman from Joan of Arcadia is schizophrenic and bleeds a lot. By finding out that she has liver cancer, House is able to determine that she's not crazy -- she just has too much copper in her body. There's some stuff about Socrates too, but you'd be better off reading the original. |

A horribly bewigged Elizabeth Mitchell plays a nun who comes to House to cure her mysterious allergic reaction. He does, via dipping her toes in the river Styx several times. But he just can't kill her on Christmas. Joy to the world! |

Cane And Able
Pilot - Meet Dr. House, a cane-wielding infectious-disease doctor who refuses to do his job and eats Vicodins like candy. If you're a patient, he won't see you. But if you're a hot girl, a black criminal, or an over-privileged white guy, he'll let you work for him. And if you're Robert Sean Leonard, he might even be a little bit nice to you. |
