    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      At one point, House comments, "I feel like Mike Tomlin," then says to Foreman, "Maybe not as much as you do." Pittsburgh Steelers' coach Mike Tomlin is often said to bear a striking resemblance to Omar Epps.
    • Goofs
      When Taub is taking the photo of House with the camera, the lens is shut, instead of open which it would have to be in order to take a picture.
    • Quotes

      James Sidas: It's lonely, isn't it?

      Dr. Gregory House: It's not that bad.

      James Sidas: Then you're not that smart.

    Episode after Episode of House trying to ruin his colleagues lives. It has become boring.

    Any normal person would have walked away from him and the job long ago.
