Timeline
Soon after the last few episodes
Patient of the Week:
Jason who takes House and others hostage in an effort to finally learn what is causing his symptoms. He forces others to take whatever medicine House tries on him. After the first person, all other medication is given to Thirteen first and so Thirteen becomes a second patient as she develops kidney failure due to taking some of the medicine.
How House gets involved:
He gets taken hostage by the patient
The privacy invasion / ethical breach
House giving the gun back to the patient thus risking not only his own life but Thirteen's and a patient's. Plus those trying to rescue them. (He should have been arrested for it.)
Preliminary diagnoses
The final diagnosis
Melioidosis, which the doctors had originally rules out because the patient hadn't been to any tropical places but at the end the patient reveals he has been to Florida.
Clinic Patient
None.
Additional Information
  • Chase refuses to get involved from the beginning.
  • Thirteen, who at first doesn't seem to care whether she lives or dies, decides by the end that she wants to live and so enrolls in Foreman's clinical trial.
