Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): House, while making the case that the patient's wife is poisoning him, says that she hasn't left the hospital since the two of them arrived. Actually, she has left the hospital at least once; she was there when Foreman was in her house.

Quotes:

Dr. Gregory House: Is the ant big and red, or small and black?
Dr. Eric Foreman: Medium and brown.
Dr. Gregory House: Halle Berry brown or Beyonce brown?
Dr. Allison Cameron: Is there a difference?
Dr. Gregory House: [sarcastically] Is there a difference?

Samantha "Broken Arrow" Mathis teaches the romantically misguided Cameron a hard lesson about love and fidelity in an episode that has a loving but swinging husband come down with what House swears must be "heavy metal" poisoning. Early in the episode, House announces he is convinced Mathis is slowly killing her husband, but how to prove it? And what is she doing it with? Tests for numerous substances get the team nowhere, and they are not convinced House has made the right diagnosis. Meanwhile, the husband keeps getting sicker. Mathis is fine as the apparently devoted and distraught wife, and she provides an Emmy-worthy moment with House as he confronts her and reveals her true nature near the end.
