- Chase (Jesse Spencer) is in bed with a one-night stand who tells him he's bleeding through his bandage. He's been ignoring House's calls. House (Hugh Laurie) shows up at his door and starts talking about a case. Chase hasn't spoken to him in three weeks and still hasn't accepted his apology. When House says he's still Chase's boss and demands he come into work again, Chase challenges House to fire him.
Foreman (Omar Epps) drops by Chase's rehab and suggests maybe he should see somebody. Chase assures him he's fine. Even if he doesn't return to House's team, Foreman wants Chase to work in the clinic so he doesn't go crazy.
Chase's first clinic patient is a nun (Julie Mond) with pain in her left shoulder. Chase realizes she hasn't yet taken her vows and asks whether stress could be a symptom. Her order is one that will require almost complete silence. He tells her that he attended seminary for a period of time. Chase finds a lump in her breast wants to admit her.
Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard) tells Chase the mass is a benign fat deposit. House and the team show up. Chase says he doesn't want House's help and tries to leave. House suggests an infection before Chase walks out.

Chase goes back to House, who suggests maybe Moira has cholangitis.
Moira now can't feel her foot.
Chase returns to the team. Before House will help, he makes reference to Taub (Peter Jacobson) taking self-defense classes. House thinks Chase shouldn't be attaching any great significance to an unexpected event. Taub shouldn't be preparing for them. The next guess is vasospasm, offered up by Adams (Odette Annable).
Adams asks Chase how he is acting so normal about what happened. She is seeing a trauma counselor and thinks he should. He gives her the same brush-off he gave Park.
Chase points out to Moira he's never seen her with rosary beads and quizzes her about faith. She admits she hasn't felt the calling yet and needs the silence and contemplation of the order. She says she's "looking for something more."
Taub pretends to be a clinic patient to hide from House and talk to Chase. He thinks Chase should accept House's apology and come back.

We see Chase bored during a date. He returns home alone and finds Moira waiting at his door. She admits she's been running away and takes his hand. They end up in bed together. The next morning, she begins having symptoms that let Chase know the artery to her brain has a clot. He rushes her to the hospital.
Park chokes when starting to work on Moira. Chase rushes her to surgery. Nobody thinks Chase should operate on someone with whom he has a relationship. House gives the go-ahead. Chase takes a risk during the surgery but the gamble pays off.
After surgery, Park admits to Chase she's scared "of everything." He tells her she needs to act like a doctor.

Chase tells Moira they'll know in a few hours if she definitely has cancer, but the prognosis is grim. Chase tells her he left the seminary because he slept with the groundkeeper's wife. She thinks he must have done it because he was struggling with whether he belonged there. She begins having trouble talking, citing pain in her jaw.
This new symptom tells House she must have giant cell aerteritis. She is going to be okay.
Moira is ready to leave the hospital. She tells a stunned Chase she's planning to go back and become a nun. The image of the boy was her calling. Chase says he thinks he's in love with her.
House finds Chase printing off an article that explains what happens to people during near-death experiences. This starts an argument where House tells him he shouldn't be interfering with her decision. Chase thinks this is because House wants everyone to be like him. House tells him if he really wanted that, he'd be urging him to make a terrible decision.
