The indoor rock climbing scene at the beginning was filmed at Boulderdash Indoor Rock Climbing in Thousand Oaks, California (the tallest indoor climbing gym in Southern California). She is climbing on "The Prow", a 45' slightly overhanging wall with lead and top-rope routes ranging from 5.6 to 5.12.

Quotes:

Dr. Gregory House: You talk to your kid about sex so she'll think you're open about everything. Keeps her from asking questions about the things you don't wanna talk about.

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

It was the first episode of House MD (my favorite series ever) I badly disgusted. I do not mean main story and performances - it was "House" in it's best, with interesting final diagnosis, particularly. Great performances, blah blah blah - in season 4 the stories got more sophistication, variability and drive. But my impression was just ruined by a side story with (Warning: spoiler below) ..a dirty w**re from whom even House was dumbfounded - from one side, and the last scene - from another. Such blasphemy is a screen writing crime against beliefs of billions. This episode's story seriously lacks any sense of proportion (may Lord forgive you, Pam).
