- How House gets involved:
- House already has a patient, what he gets involved with is Cuddy's problems: causing some and giving her ideas and help with some. Some good advice and as is normal for him, some bad suggestions initially.
- The privacy invasion / ethical breach / Rule Breaking

- Everyone including House and the board tell Cuddy she will lose to the insurance company but she refuses to back down even though she has her own doubts. Also the pharmacy tech, Gail, that she fired threatens to make up stories about her and House being lovers and House being involved in drugs.

- Quotes, Quotations, Dialogue, Scenes:
- Cuddy has had a hectic morning when she runs into Wilson in the cafeteria line and he asks, How's it going?"
"I have three hours to save this place from bankruptcy, I just fired one of my best employees, and the woman taking care of my sick child isn't returning my calls."
"Rachel's going to be fine, I'm sure whoever he or she is they deserved it, and we're not going bankrupt. Are we?
"Don't worry, the board will fire me before they allow that to happen."
"They'd never fire you."
"I just told Atlanticnet Insurance I'd terminate them unless they gave us a 12% bump."
"They might fire you."
Cuddy is still trying to reach the person taking care of her daughter but then asks follows Wilson and asks, "What do you think I should do about AtlanticNet?"
"You're asking a guy who paid full sticker price for his last car. You ask House? He's a master manipulator who always gets what he wants."
"This situation is out of control enough already. House is the last person I want to get involved."
- AtlanticNet offers Cuddy double what they offered before but she refuses it though she has doubts and finally asks House, "What would you do? ...About the contract with AtlanticNet. I got them to come up to 8% but we should get at least 12."
"It's all numbers. Do the math. And nothing else."
"It's not about my pride. It's about the principle. They're trying to screw us over because we're small."
"That's what they're supposed to do."
"They should be pressuring other hospitals to be more like us, not trying to make us more like them. It's stupid."
"Putting your job on the line to stamp out stupidity, isn't?"
"You would."
"Probably. But then I wanted to try to cure cancer by infecting a guy with malaria to win a $50 bet. You really want to be like me?"
