House follows Adams into her office. She asks if he's really leaving medicine and what he's going to do. No answer. She goads him into talking about physics and dark matter. Gregory House, Theoretical Physicist? I'm not sure about this plan. I'd rather watch the Insect Doctor show. She tells him he's got a gift for reading people and understanding them. "You gotta go back to medicine." Outside the window, LCB is covered in blood and has a question: "Hey! Is this supposed to happen?" Adams says, under her breath, "Cool!" I liked that scene, because the patient was surprisingly calm about the situation, considering that blood was gushing out of his ear and all over his shoulder. I like to imagine him sitting there, watching the blood pouring out and deciding that he should probably bother the doctors.

THURSDAY

House's cell. He tells his cellmate that the cricket might have pesticide poisoning, so he's using bicarbonate of soda to treat him. "This is where you say thank you. Or I say thank you for not killing me. ...thank you." This whole time, the cellmate has just been glowering at him from his upper bunk. The roommate spends more time in bed than House!"

House checks his pill collection. He has four pills.

He's let into the clinic office. There were no tumors on the X-Ray. I forget how they got an X-Ray ahead of time. Adams offers him Ibuprofen, which he declines. She offers to let him look at the medical file. He rejects the hypothesis of toxins on the grounds that this is the only one with symptoms. Just then! Sykes (the supervisor) comes in and confiscates the file. She's really not supposed to let prisoners look through medical files. Although I bet he could get the patient's permission.

House enters the patient's cell and says that he needs cotton swabs. He's got no time for this, claiming, "My girl's more important." House is angry, both because he's being thwarted in his attempt to be Dr. House and because this guy still has a life. He shouts various things, like "She's not your girl, you idiot!" and "Your life outside is over!" Finally, House is thrown out of the cell. The way that happens, incidentally, is by the guy saying, "Get out my house!"
