Wilson is appalled that House is using their pet rat as a guinea pig, but House says he needs a healthy specimen. Wilson finds House looking at a webcam of Steve McQueen in House's kitchen. Foreman calls his father to advise him of his condition. He is exposing Steve McQueen to the same environment Foreman was in hoping that Steve will show signs of giddiness.
House goes back to the cop's apartment and calls Foreman on the phone to retrace his steps. Foreman thinks House is desperate, but takes the pills anyway. When the team points out that this could be toxic, House screams that the better idea would be to autopsy the dead patient, but he's not allowed to do so.įoreman is given a range of medication, and can identify them by touch and realizes he is being treated for every possible diagnosis. House instructs the team to treat Foreman for everything. It can't be a toxic mold or Cameron would be sick too. House rules out meningitis because they would all be sick. House realizes that Foreman is blind and doesn't realize it - the same symptom that the dead patient had, only Foreman's symptoms have developed faster. However, when Foreman tries, he biopsies the mattress instead. Instead, House asks Foreman to perform an ice pick lobotomy on the dead patient - an old procedure that Foreman has only read about.
House points out that Foreman will be dead by then and the disease may not even be contagious. The CDC has been called in, but they won't be on the scene for three days. House wants a bone saw to take a sample of the dead patient's brain, but Cuddy refuses on the grounds that if the dead patient is contagious, they don’t have the right equipment, and that they could release something to the rest of the hospital.
