Paranormal And Paraplegics

Chase spends more time with Clancy, who's upset that his parents think he's crazy. Chase assures him that once they figure out what's wrong with Clancy and fix it, the aliens won't bother him again. Unless the aliens are real, in which case Chase has lied to Clancy again! At this point, Clancy's arm starts to change color, and Chase's hands turn into alien hands. Clancy gasps and his monitors go wild.

Chase tells House that they've got Clancy in the ICU recovering from his hypertensive crisis. They enter the lab, where Foreman and Cameron finish the tests and say Clancy tested positive for the bleeding disorder Von Willebrand's disease. Chase says no way -- he saw Clancy's blood clot on two separate occasions. Foreman just shakes his head and looks all smug and superior that he was right after all. "Maybe [Clancy] cheated!" Cameron says. Uh oh! Watch out, Clancy! Cameron HATES cheaters. She'll kill you while you sleep for that. Chase snorts that kids are always cheating on their bleeding time tests. House says that he believes Cameron is trying to make a metaphor, just like he used to do when he was a good doctor. Cameron explains that Clancy's blood might only clot normally during hypertensive crises, like when he was telling Chase about being abducted and cutting his neck open. "Sounds like a cheat to me!" Cameron says, all proud of herself. "Yeah yeah yeah, we get it," House retorts, all pissy because he didn't think of the answer first. Now they just need to figure out why a seven-year-old is having hypertensive crises.

Chase asks Clancy's parents to sign a consent form for a transesophogeal echocardiogram so they can look in his heart and find out what's wrong with it. They sign it, and Chase decides to step up for Clancy. He tells them that their son is worried that his parents think he's crazy. Mom scoffs, "Well, isn't he?" How supportive. At the very least, the parents should at least recognize that Clancy was right about the thing being in his neck, even if it wasn't an alien chip. His stories are totally baseless. How sad for Clancy that he doesn't get to have parents with a sense of humor, imagination, or even a basic like of children. Chase tells the mom that there are a lot of non-crazy explanations for what's wrong with Clancy, and that he needs to think they believe in him, even if they don't. I don't know why Clancy's parents tried to so hard to have their son with the in vitro stuff when they don't seem to like him at all. This whole episode, they've acted like the kid is just a burden and an annoyance.
