    Some Interesting Stuff

    The story begins with a two bit bass player in a rock band who is never home, jumping on a subway track and saving a woman who is having an epileptic seizure. He becomes a tabloid hero, but when taken to the hospital begins to have serious symptoms. He is consulsive and in great distress. Once again the new girl, who sticks out like sore thumb, comes to the rescue.

    House has his own crisis. Cuddy's mother (played be Candice Bergen) is pushy and tiresome. But House has agreed to go, along with Wilson, to Cuddy's birthday dinner. This is the high point of the show when House takes matters into his own hands.

    • Trivia
      As House and Cuddy clean up after her birthday meal, the Bach piece playing in the background is "Wachet Auf," which translates to "Sleepers, Wake!" It's appropriate since Wilson and Cuddy's mom are both passed out at the dining room table in that scene.
    • Goofs
      The mustache and hair House drew on Taub's poster look different between shots.
    • Quotes

      Dr. Lisa Cuddy: House, I need you to come to that dinner for two hours, keep your mouth shut, and behave like an adult. Yes, you will be in Hell, but I will feel better having you there. That is what a relationship is. We average our misery.
