- Timeline
- House spoke of Cuddy's upcoming birthday in the last episode and now the birthday is here so the episodes are fairly close together but probably more than a week, maybe two or three weeks, apart.
- Patient of the Week
- Jack, a musician who is usually on tour, saves a woman who has fallen onto the subway tracks risking his own life in doing so. But afterwards he collapses is taken to the hospital
- How House gets involved:
- Masters brings the case from the ER impressed with the heroism. House takes the case to prove that the heroism is a symptom of some problem.
- The privacy invasion / ethical breach / Rule Breaking
- Chase and Taub break into the apartment of the woman Jack rescued to prove House's new conclusion that Jack must have known her and maybe they were having an affair.
- Preliminary diagnoses:
- At first most of the team think Jack has a neurological condition but the test for it sends him into cardiac arrest. House then wants to do a biopsy of the pituitary gland. Masters objects but further tests turn up nothing so they do the biopsy but that just produces another problem. Later Jack develops severe ear pain. Masters wants to gather some fluid from the lungs and when they start that procedure, the ear pain goes away. But then he starts having seizures and a fever.
- The final diagnosis
- Chicken pox which he got from his daughter who doesn't have it but it is in her school and she carried it.
- Who Came up with final diagnosis
- House, from a comment by Cuddy's mother about children carrying diseases.
- Clinic Patients
- Cuddy's mother.

- Quotes, Quotations, Dialogue, Scenes:
- Master's brings up the case and at the end says he is the subway hero. House objects that she should have led with the heroism as a symptom. Chase explains, "House's worldview doesn't include random acts of self-sacrifice. He's going to count heroism as a symptom until proven otherwise...."
After arguments from Masters, House says,"Faced with almost certain death, a normal person rides the pine."
Masters argues. "What about firefighters?"
"The guys who undergo months of training to deny their own instincts for self-preservation."
Taub enters with, "And the patient isn't a firefighter, he plays a base in a band."
Masters summarizes what they are telling her. "So, humanity is apathetic and self-serving?"
"Yeah."
Taub explains how he reacted when he was mugged and points out, "The other hundred people stayed on that platform. That's a normal response to danger."
