House is not surprised when Chase and Cameron enter the meeting room with Foreman. They tell him that Hank is now having blood clotting issues. House is a bit distracted, however, by what he's watching on his laptop. The telltale music lets Cameron know it's one of Hank's movies. "He's not without talent," House says. While Cameron goes off and thinks about how much better than that she is, Foreman says the UV rays they exposed Hank to made his capillaries fragile and thus caused his bleeding problems. Nice job, Chase and Cameron! Once Cameron gets over herself, she comes up with a diagnosis for Hank: meningococcemia. I am shocked to tell you that my spellcheck knew that word. House sends Foreman and Chase off to treat Hank for that, but has Cameron stay behind so he can confirm his suspicions that Chase told Cameron about the murder thing. He'd better hope he's right, or else she just found out in a rather nasty way. He asks if that means Chase is allowed to break other Commandments, too. Cameron says she forgave Chase, but House won't believe it, saying that no matter how bad of a person Dibala was, Cameron has a stick up her ass when it comes to doing the right thing. Um, except when she herself also wanted Dibala to die and also HAS KILLED A PATIENT HERSELF. Why is no one bringing this up? I don't get it. Cameron accuses House of trying to ruin her marriage. House says it's already ruined -- as soon as Cameron gets over the shock of what Chase did, she'll get on her high horse and ride it to the nearest divorce court. Which is fine with House, because by his convoluted logic, the only reason why Cameron quit being a Cottage in the first place was because he fired Chase, so when she's not with Chase she'll have no reason not to come back. Has he not considered the fact that working for him really sucks?
Chase gives Hank some medicine and warns him that he probably got meningococcemia from sexual activity. Hank tells him to drop the anti-porno stance since Cameron isn't around to approve of it. Chase says that he might "look around once in a while," but he loves his wife and the fact that she's the only person he's intimate with. Hank accuses Chase of following society's rulebook or whatever and I don't really care. Go ahead and make a case that porn stars can have awesome stable lifelong marriages to each other and sex plays no role in marriage whatsoever. Way to defy our expectations and Make Us Think, House! Hank says his marriage isn't perfect, but he and his wife are committed "in every way that matters." Chase doesn't think that works "if you have a conscience." Whatever, Chase. I'm pretty sure that cheating on your spouse > murder. Hank says conscience is just a social construct before his monitors start beeping. His sudden fever means the antibiotics Chase just shot him up with aren't working and it isn't meningococcemia.
