Trivia
In the opening scenes, students are seen chugging drinks from clear plastic cups; however, the cups were double-walled, and the "beer" was between the walls so the actors could appear to drink faster.

Goofs
In the first scene that we see House with his new leather jacket, the lettering on the right side of the jacket spells "KTAI Sports". In a scene a few minutes later, with House and Wilson standing by House's new motorcycle, the lettering on the jacket reads "RTAI Sports".

Quotes
Dr. Allison Cameron: Why would you need $5,000?
Dr. Robert Chase: Bad night at poker or a great night with a hooker.
Dr. Gregory House: Thank you for saving me the trouble of deflecting that personal question with a joke.

Dad

Guest star Clifton Powell helps keep "Daddy's Boy" from melting into nothingness. A newly minted Princeton grad develops shocks and convulsions that has the team scrambling for answers. When that answer comes, it is a truly weird one, and "Boy" is as much about the lies we tell our children as it is about the kid's bizarre illness. Powell plays the boy's dad, and he has a lot of guilt to shoulder as the episode unwinds. His reactions to the kid's illness and his scenes with the increasingly sick son make the episode better than it actually is. House continues to moon over his ex-gal pal, the luscious Sela Ward, and frankly I wish he would get over it.
