Can't Win 'Em All

Taub enters House's office and sees a brand new flatscreen TV on the wall. House says Cuddy got it for him, and he's now trying to convince her to buy him an espresso machine and a massage chair for research purposes. Taub says he managed to track down Danny's father by looking at state-sponsored rehab facility records, which is probably illegal, and finding one Danny Jennings, who put his father down as his next of kin. Chase and Masters are already en route to the address, which leads House to wonder why Taub bothered to come into his office at all. It turns out that Taub has a personal issue to discuss: not being invited to participate in House's wedding. House asks if Taub is saying that he is truly hurt at being "mockingly" left out of the party of a fake wedding. Taub is: "is it because I haven't been here as long as them? Or is it that you really don't like me or are you just screwing -- " I'm sure it's the last one and don't understand why Taub doesn't seem to realize that, either.

He's cut off by the arrival of Dominica, who surfaces from underneath House's desk. Flustered, Taub says he'll come back later, when Dominica is "finished." House says she is, then acts like it only just occurred to him that Taub thought Dominica was giving him some workhead under there. He assures Taub that she was just "installing the cable." Taub leaves. Dominica, ever kind, says she feels sorry for "the little one," and asks if there's anything they can do to make him feel better. Maybe she could install his cable, too?

Masters and Chase approach a nice house with a nice car parked in a red zone in front. I guess whoever owns that Range Rover doesn't care about parking tickets. A man answers the door, and a stern Chase and Masters say they need to talk to him about Danny. The man is confused and rather meek for a guy who supposedly abused his son so badly. Chase asks if Danny's father or mother have any genetic diseases in their family history, and the dad asks what difference it makes. Martha says it makes a big difference to people who care about Danny, unlike his father. "We're trying to make your son better," she says. Dad says that's going to be difficult, since Danny died of a drug overdose three months ago.
