House's request is ignored. Meanwhile, Alvie comes up with what I must admit sounds like a genius plan to revolutionize the long jump: go headfirst and then, right before you land, flip over and get three extra feet or so. This also sounds like my childhood contingency plan for what I would do if I ever found myself falling off a cliff while standing on a giant boulder like Wile E.

Meanwhile, there's a guy in a cowboy hat sitting in the background. Of course. Where's the guy dressed as Napoleon? Behind the corner, no doubt. Let's see how many other mental hospital clichés this show can fit in.

Nolan shrugs that House might have said it because he honestly thinks it'll work. "Patient makes a threat, you should always be concerned," he says. I'm not sure how much stock I can put in his expert medical opinion, however, since he only seems to hire the hottest and youngest doctors to work under him. Actually, that kind of reminds me of someone ...
