In an effort to teach House (Hugh Laurie) some humility, Cuddy (Lise Edelstein) and Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard) neglect to tell him that he has correctly diagnosed (and indirectly cured) the previous episode's paralysis victim Richard--a strategy that enrages Cameron (Jennifer Morrison). Meanwhile, House's leg pains have returned and he's back on Vicodin, literally stealing the medication by forging prescriptions. The week's major medical mystery concerns seven-year-old Clancy (Skyler Gisondo), who has jumped from his bedroom window, convinced that space aliens are experimenting on him--and the boy's inexplicable bleeding, coupled with the titanium chip implanted in his neck, would seem to validate his fears.
