Agent Weiss says goodbye to his battered wife's body. He holds her hand as a nurse turns the machines off. Then House busts in and turns them all back on. "We need to talk," he says.
House and Agent Weiss will talk in Cuddy's office, where House callously says that he can "use" Laura's organs, so he wants her back on life support. Agent Weiss protests that his wife wouldn't want to be kept alive artificially, while House tries to get a surgical team together to perform a transplant that two committees have refused. Apparently, if they classify the transplant as "experimental," they can do it. I'm pretty sure the writers fudged medical accuracy here, but if I wanted to see a medical show that was 100\% realistic, I'd watch the Discovery Channel. House goes beyond tactless and tells the guy that his recently dead wife's body is just "meat" now. At that point, Cuddy starts to stand up so that she can be in a better position to break up the fight that is sure to ensue. "This is my wife," Agent Weiss says, managing to control himself a lot better than I would have. "Not anymore," House says. You see, he only gives living people respect and dignity. Hey, everybody LIES, right? Agent Weiss says that he's still alive, and that House hasn't given him any respect or dignity so far, pretending to be Laura's doctor and giving him hope that she would survive. He's taking his wife off of life support. "Nicely played," Cuddy says, sounding more pissed off at House than usual. House won't concede defeat.
House has his Hail Mary pass sitting outside. Amy thanks Agent Weiss for giving her father his wife's heart. Poor Agent Weiss is now the victim of yet another wrong assumption. Cuddy and House come out in time to hear this, and Cuddy disgustedly accuses House of manipulation. It's not like she's doing anything to stop it, though. Agent Weiss tells House he is an ass, too, and turns to leave. Amy makes a sad face. House calls Agent Weiss back and says that, in two weeks' time, whatever happened to Laura's heart won't matter to House at all. But it will always matter to Gail. "Amy," Amy corrects him. "Whatever," House says, with the respect and dignity he gives to living things. He urges Agent Weiss not to take his anger at House out on someone else. Amy sticks her lower lip out and looks very sad indeed. Agent Weiss thinks for a second, and then decides to do what House asked and take his anger out on the person it's meant for. He accomplishes this by kneeing House in the crotch, a move that causes House incredible pain and also ensures that the man won't be having any offspring to inflict on future generations. We also learn that there is one way to stop House from making a snarky comebacks, as he reacts to the blow with a gasp of pain that only half of the population can feel, and falls to the floor. Cuddy is shocked, but also probably just a little bit jealous of Agent Weiss for getting to do something that she's wanted to do so many times before. Amy's sad face turns into a surprised face, and then into grateful face when Agent Weiss tells her that her dad can have his wife's heart. And I'm not advocating or supporting kneeing men in the balls -- by all accounts, it's a very painful and cruel thing to do to a guy -- but if anyone should get kneed in the balls, it's House for his behavior in the past ten minutes. Honestly, I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often.
