Wilson is accosted in the parking lot (apparently, he and House lost their cushy parking-garage spots) by an angry man with a cane. "You bastard!" says the man who borrowed five thousand dollars from his friend and then used said friend to get out of dinner with the 'rents. Wilson says that Cameron has a "big mouth," which confirms House's suspicions. Wilson says he doesn't appreciate being used, especially since he probably had much higher hopes about the nature of their dinner after House said that stuff about making it worth Wilson's while. House asks whether this about the money he borrowed and has yet to pay back. Wilson says it isn't, but now that they're on the subject.... House whips out a checkbook and starts writing a check for the entire amount he owes. You see, House never actually needed any of Wilson's money; he was just doing a "little experiment" to see how much money Wilson would give House before he asked for it back. Wow, it's really sad that House thinks he needs to test his friends like that, and that he thinks friendship can be measured in money. Wilson sputters, rendered almost speechless, and House offers him a check in exchange for canceling the dinner plans with his parents. Wilson agrees to the deal, takes the check, and tells House that if he wants to cancel on his parents, he can call them himself. House is shocked that Wilson would actually lie to House. Wilson says that he, too, has been doing a little experiment: lying to House in increasing amounts, starting with the time last year when he told House he looked good with stubble. Wilson rolls his eyes and closes his car door in House's face. Oh, day-amn! House got TOLD! What what! Awesome. It's about time Wilson justified his existence on this show.

The next day, Cuddy goes to Foreman and voices her disgust that they're treating Carnell for pesticide poisoning they have no proof he's suffering from. Cuddy doesn't know how they'll explain that to the hospital's lawyers. Aw, crap, does that mean Stacy is coming back? Also, Cuddy, you're House's boss. If you're really concerned, why not try acting like it? Foreman and Cuddy enter Carnell's room, where they find the patient looking remarkably better and eating the hell out of his breakfast. Dad thanks them for saving his son. Dad apparently thinks this is a half-hour show, since we're only at the twenty-five-minute mark. Carnell should be taking a turn for the worse any minute now...
