Cuddy introduces Dr. Phillip Webber to the lecture hall. She really half-asses it, like, I know this was a bit of a surprise for you, Cuddy, but couldn't you have at least done a Google search on the guy? Or maybe rehearsed your speech once through before you went on stage? "Dr. Webber is at the Webber Center for Pain -- that makes sense -- Dr. Webber, um..." she stutters while the lecture crowd displays mild annoyance at her unpreparedness. All of them, that is, except for one guy, who appears to have stumbled in from his cardboard box house on the street what with his shabby attire and insistence on wearing sunglasses indoors. But wait a minute -- are those Gravedigger logos on his cap? Why yes, yes they are! House is our Corey Hart, and he's quickly joined by Wilson, who never has anything better to do than follow House around like a psychoanalytical puppy dog. Webber thanks Cuddy, deliberately hesitating when saying her name to make a point about her crappy introduction of him, and she rolls her eyes in House's general direction and leaves.
Wilson wants to know why House is attending a guest lecture for the first time since Wilson has known him, but House won't say. It's Webber who gives him the first clue, when he tells the crowd that he got his medical degree from Johns Hopkins, which Wilson knows is where House also went to school when he wasn't at the University of Michigan with Cuddy. Webber went on to a prestigious internship at the Mayo Clinic that House was supposed to get, which Wilson knows because he's apparently writing House's biography in his plentiful spare time. House fesses up that Webber -- a.k.a. "Von Leiberman," a name House assigned to him because it sounded "way eviler" -- was the person who told on House for cheating and got him kicked out. Whether he means that House was kicked out of med school or just the internship is not known. Whichever, House is obviously out for twenty-year-old revenge. It's a dish best served cold, apparently. Cold and moldy and biodegraded into dirt because it's been a long time since med school, but House is still pissed off. Wilson asks House if he's planning on making a fart sound when Webber bends over, which is an awesome revenge plan that I file away for future use, but House says he just wants to prove that Webber is a "bad scientist." He's so bad that he got the answer that House cheated off of wrong. So House cheated and then didn't even get it right? That sucks.
