05, 2006
House has recovered from multiple gunshot
wounds and is back at work, taking on two
cases simultaneously: Richard, paralyzed after
brain cancer surgery eight years ago, who
drove himself on his motorized wheelchair
headfirst into a swimming pool; and Caren,
a young woman paralyzed from the neck down
after a yoga session. As House begins to diagnose
and treat them, the team notices a distinct
change in his attitude toward the patients,
and Cameron even catches Richard's wife thanking
House for his sensitivity to her husband's
situation. House suspects that Richard could
possibly walk again, but he has no specific
medical proof to back up his hunch and the
various treatment avenues he pursues lead
nowhere. Cameron and Foreman refuse to indulge
House and his theories, which they feel he's
pursuing merely to make the case interesting
for himself. Cuddy and Wilson also are convinced
House is creating a mystery out of Richard's
case to cure his own boredom, but he denies
it and becomes more frustrated when his theories
do not point to a cure for Richard, forcing
House to face an unpleasant truth.

12, 2006
House's ego has taken quite a blow because
he failed to diagnose his last case, and it's
affecting him physically. He is obviously
in pain again, although he continues to deny
it. House's new case is 7-year-old Clancy,
a product of in-vitro fertilization, who's
been admitted to the hospital with rectal
bleeding and proclamations of being tortured
by aliens. As the team runs tests on him,
they discover the same test is giving conflicting
results. When Clancy claims to have a tracking
device in the back of his neck and the team
discovers an unknown metal object exactly
in that spot, they aren't quite sure what
to think. Amidst all this weirdness, Cuddy
and Wilson decide it would be best not to
tell House the truth about his last case,
thinking that perhaps he will learn some humility
if he believes he's not always right. Cameron
discovers the lie and is outraged, but Cuddy
convinces her to hold off telling House. When
House and the team discover cells with a different
type of DNA in Clancy's body, they are forced
to give Clancy's alien claims a little more
credence, but a frustrated House gives up
on his young patient, forcing Cuddy to re-think
her desire to hold back the truth she's hiding.

September 19, 2006
The ketamine has worn off and House is back
to using his cane and doesn't want to talk
about it. His new patient is Ezra Powell (guest
star Joel Grey), a renowned pioneer in the
field of medical research, who collapsed in
his lab. House puts Ezra through diagnostic
rigors, but the team is unable to come up
with a conclusive diagnosis, and Ezra's health
continues to deteriorate. Becoming increasingly
debilitated, Ezra ultimately demands that
the team stop the litany of medical tests
and help him end his life. The team members
have divergent opinions on the morality of
helping Ezra die, especially since the possibility
of a cure is still in question. The moral
dilemma of whether to assist in his suicide
and abide by Ezra's wishes or to ignore what
their patient wants drives the team in very
different directions. Meanwhile, the teenage
daughter of a clinic patient has developed
a crush on Dr. House.

- September 26, 2006
House takes the case of Adam, a 10-year-old
severely autistic boy who screams loudly for
no apparent reason, at least not a reason
his three previous doctors could diagnose.
The team wonders why House is taking the case
- the boy's not sick; his symptoms seem to
be a product of his autism. House claims he
just wants a patient who can't lie, but it
seems he relates to this kid: the social aloofness,
the obsession with detail, the lack of social
graces. In fact, House actually envies him;
living in a shell has its advantages. But
when Cuddy makes a minor change to House's
office and House refuses to use the office
until it's returned to its original state,
he finds himself wandering the hospital in
need of a temporary home, crashing in Cuddy
and Wilson's offices. Meanwhile, teenager
Ali from the previous episode still has a
crush on House and is becoming a nuisance
around the hospital. As Adam becomes more
ill and the torturous diagnostic procedures
yield nothing, House realizes he needs an
answer, and his patient just might be the
only one who can give him one. House finds
he has to break through the very shell he
admires in order to get anything out of the
boy.

House takes on the case of 20-year-old female
patient Tracy Dawson, who is rushed to Princeton
Plainsboro Teaching Hospital with breathing
difficulties and unexplained intense abdominal
pain after she and her husband, Jeremy, are
victims of a robbery. During Tracy's stress
test, Jeremy collapses in the hospital viewing
room, with test results leading the team to
believe the couple's illnesses are related.
Their strained relationship with Jeremy's
father causes Tracy to hallucinate about a
past incident when her father-in-law tried
to hurt Jeremy for seeing her. The traumatic
dream leaves Tracy in a coma and House wants
to conduct a very risky biopsy on her brain
stem, but Jeremy refuses to consent. House
enlists Wilson's help to explain the potentially
dangerous procedure and secure Jeremy's consent,
but all does not go as planned; House discovers
a new symptom that takes the case down a shocking
new path and changes the course of the couples'
lives forever. Meanwhile, House and clinic

A 600-pound man, George Hagel, is admitted
to the hospital after he is found in his apartment
in a coma. While they conduct the necessary
tests, the team runs into several obstacles
due to the sheer mass of the patient, and
while sedated and undergoing an MRI, George
suddenly awakes in a panic and struggles to
get free. Upon awakening, George decides that
he is fine and requests a discharge. Afraid
that George's problem is bigger than he believes,
Cameron takes extreme measures to stop him
from leaving. George believes his problems
are unrelated to his weight and instructs
the team to come up with other theories. Unconvinced
by George's reasoning, House discovers the
root of his illness during a physical altercation.
Meanwhile, House has spent the night in jail
after being arrested by Officer Michael Tritter
for a number of violations, including resisting
arrest. Tritter, putting the squeeze on House,

date - December 12, 2006
It's Christmas at Princeton-Plainsboro and
Wilson has a present for House he and Detective
Tritter have struck a deal and House has three
days to accept it. Wilson will testify that
he didnt sign the prescriptions House used
to illegally obtain Vicodin, and House will
receive two months in a rehab clinic for pleading
guilty, avoiding jail time. Even though the
deal apparently would make the whole nightmare
go away, House is furious at Wilson, will
not admit he did anything wrong and immediately
goes looking for Cuddy. Barging in on Cuddy
in an examining room, he meets her patient,
Abigail, and Abigails mom, Maddy, both dwarfs.
Abigail has a number of symptoms and is recovering
from a recently collapsed lung, but Cuddy
doesnt recognize the gravity of her illness
and House takes on the case. As House and
the team get to work, Cuddy finds out about
the deal offered to House, pulls him from
the case, suspends his treatment privileges
and refuses to dole out any more Vicodin until
he takes the deal. As Abigails condition worsens,
House begins to detox and the team tries unsuccessfully
to solve the case without him. When Abigail
reaches a critical point, Cuddy begs House
for help one last time, but they play a game
of chicken to see who will flinch first as

case. Cuddy is forced to make a difficult

House is forced to respond in court to the
criminal charges against him regarding illegal
possession of narcotics, and the judge sets
a date - for a preliminary hearing. Enough
is enough for Cuddy, who insists that House
apologize to Detective Tritter as a final
attempt to stay out of jail, since he refused
to respond to Tritters previous deal by the
deadline. Meanwhile, the case of Derek Hoyt,
a firefighter suffering from extreme body
temperatures and disorientation, leads the
team to believe their patient is suffering
from an extreme hormone imbalance, but Derek
has a violent reaction to their course of
treatment, potentially causing serious bodily
harm to Cameron in the process. Clearly distracted
from Dereks case, House stuns the team when
he makes a shocking revelation in an attempt
to save himself from jail time. As Dereks
condition worsens, the team must try to solve
the mystery of his illness without Houses
help, but information from Derek sends them
in the wrong direction and leads Derek to
choose a risky, radical treatment on his brain

House has beaten the drug charges and is back
at the hospital after a short stint in rehab.
Cuddy comes to collect on Houses debt for
perjuring herself on the stand and keeping
him out of jail. She forces House to pay off
the debt in clinic hours, requiring him to
carry out a series of less-than-desirable
patient exams in the clinic. Tired of Houses
incessant whining about his disdain for the
patients, Cuddy turns his clinic duty into
a game, with the stakes raised to a level
that speaks to House money. At the clinic,
House encounters patient Eve, who has tested
positive for an STD and admits shes very recently
been raped. Knowing he cant do anything more
for Eve medically, House refers her to a psychiatrist,
but she refuses to talk to the doctor and
will only be treated by House. He repeatedly
tries to dismiss himself from her case, but
finds himself forced to unravel a very different
puzzle than the sort hes used to and compelled
to come to terms with events in his own life
in order to help Eve make sense of her own.
Meanwhile, at the clinic Cameron encounters
a homeless man with terminal cancer who, in
spite of her pleas to let her ease his suffering,
admits to her his basis for refusing pain
medication during his final hours.

respiratory condition and internal bleeding.
Oddities of his case land him under House
and the teams care, but at the moment, House
is irritated to learn that new hospital researcher
Dr. Julie Whitmer has been assigned his handicapped
parking spot by the hospital entrance. Since
she's in a motorized wheelchair (and he has
to walk), he asks her to give up the parking
spot, but she refuses. House, determined to
get a parking spot closer to the hospital
entrance, appeals to Cuddy, who dares him
to prove how much he wants the spot by spending
one week in a wheelchair, a bet House takes
on. As the team tries to get personal history
information from Stevie, they cant seem to
get a straight answer out of him, and its
revealed hes from a family of gypsies. Stevies
parents arrive with homeopathic remedies;
they won't consent to House and the teams
suggested course of action, and refuse all
modern medical treatment. As Stevies body
continues to bleed internally, Foreman makes

and appeals directly to the teenage patient,
putting his medical license on the line while
asking Stevie to lie to his parents.

It's Valentines Day at Princeton-Plainsboro
and the ER is short-staffed due to a snowstorm.
House encounters Foremans latest patient,
Hannah, who has sustained injuries from a
car accident with her mother, Abby. House
notices that despite her best efforts to act
injured, Hannah is not feeling a bit of pain.
House determines that Hannah has an incredibly
rare condition that makes her completely insensitive
to pain, and he takes a special interest in
her case. He orders further testing to see
if Hannah has any serious injuries from the
car accident that she may not be able to feel,
including an unnecessary procedure that causes
Cuddy and Wilson to question his motives.
Meanwhile, Abby undergoes surgery for her
own injuries sustained in the car accident.
Hannah refuses further examination and demands
to see her mother, but House has little sympathy.
She and House argue about which of their lives
is worse, Hannah who is impervious to pain
or House who suffers from pain constantly.
When Hannah passes out and her temperature
spikes, the doctors realize that Hannah is
much sicker than they had thought. The team
takes drastic measures in an attempt to inflict
pain on Hannah to measure her pain threshold,
but her condition only worsens. House adamantly
pushes for a spinal nerve biopsy that could
leave her paralyzed, a risky procedure in
which few see the benefit, especially Cuddy
and Wilson, who accuse House of pushing the
test to get information that may benefit his
own pain management. As Hannahs body deteriorates
without her so much as flinching, House works
through his own chronic pain to find out why
this young woman cannot feel any pain at all.

how this man could have appeared in his dream
before he met him. Recently returned from
a two-year deployment in Iraq, Kelley is complaining
of fatigue, pain and other non-specific ailments
he thinks are the result of Gulf War Syndrome.
Just like the V.A. doctors before them, the
team is wary about the validity of Kelley's
symptoms, but since his uncle is an important
benefactor to the hospital, they continue
to investigate his case. Meanwhile, House
is suffering from ailments of his own –
he is unable to urinate, most likely a side
effect of his Vicodin abuse, and is sleep-deprived.
Unable to concentrated on the case, he eventually

While administering tests in the sleep lab,
Cameron and Chase forego their clinical duties
when they find each other (and a bed in the

Chase were supposed to have been on the clock,

brain scan reveals tumors in Kelly's brain
that were not there a week earlier when the
government doctors at the V.A. examined him.
When traces of uranium show up in Kelley's
test results, the teams wonders if the government
