House M.D. Episode Synopsis

A teacher has trouble speaking before collapsing and convulsing. House must diagnose her. After several attempts to diagnose her condition, House tells his team to break into her home to find any clues to her illness. When Foreman off-handedly mentions seeing a ham in the refrigerator, it's all House needs to solve the case.

House M.D. Episode Best Moments

House M.D. Episode's Best Quotes


    • "So how'd you get the job? You stab a guy in a bar fight?" (Foreman to Cameron)

    • "Oh, I looked into that philosopher you quoted. Jagger. And you're right. You can't always get what you want, but as it turns out, if you try sometimes, you get what you need."

    • "The son of a bi**h is the best doctor we have."

    • People don't want a sick doctor." House to Wilson
    House M.D. Episode Trivia

    • The bandages from Rebecca's tracheotomy are placed too high after the tube is removed.

    • Rebecca's name and personality is yet another reference to Sherlock Holmes--Irene Adler is a woman featured in a Sherlock Holmes story that gains Holmes' respect (and even admiration) by continuing to outwit him. House is left speechless after Rebecca manages to glean a significant portion of his personality through a brief, guarded conversation, probably better than any other person on the show has done except Jack Moriarty (who was really a "Devil's Advocate" persona created by House's own mind through most of the episode that he was in).
