amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and signs a Do Not Resuscitate
(DNR) order to avoid a lingering death. House disagrees with
the diagnosis and goes against everyone's wishes when he
violates the DNR to save Giles' life. The decision lands
House in court, drives Foreman to consider taking another
job, and results in Giles' paralysis worsening. But when the
patient inexplicably starts getting better, the team has to
figure out the mystery in reverse and find out why his
condition is improving. Meanwhile, Dr. Foreman meets with an

Fortunately, House believes otherwise, and a bold stunt

diagnoses are thrown left and right, and each one is

finding it, but not before Cameron (whom Foreman apologizes

performs a biopsy on Foreman, finding the same result,
primary amoebic meningoencephalitis caused by Naegleria

crossed: when attempting to move something on the left side
of his body moves the right instead. At one point during the
episode, House sarcastically tells Cuddy that she should
"call Jack Bauer" since the case had been raised to a level

As House and his team work on
the diagnosis of Vince, a man with a giant swollen tongue,
disgruntled former patient Jack Moriarty (guest star Elias
Koteas) walks into House’s office and shoots him. House
continues to treat Vince from his hospital bed in the ICU
with Moriarty, shot by hospital security and handcuffed to
his bed, as his roommate. Since the shooting, House feels
decreased pain in his leg. He finds out from his records
that during the surgery to treat the gunshot wounds, a
treatment of Ketamine to induce a coma had been given to
relieve his leg pain, but he experiences neurological side
effects. It becomes clear that House cannot separate fact
from fiction, as hallucinations begin to get a stronger
grasp on his sense of reality. He begins to question his own
ability to diagnose, while hostility increases between him
and Moriarty. As Vince’s body begins to deteriorate, House
struggles through his own self-doubts and must try to make
sense of his life and world. After several hallucinations,
House determines that nothing he has experienced since the
shooting is real, and decides to kill Vince, hoping that the
death of his patient, or a hallucination gone too far, will
snap him back into reality. His theory proves to be true,
and in the final minutes of the episode we see House on a
gurney being rushed into the ER moments after he was shot.
Before the episode ends, House asks for Ketamine, that he
supposedly received during the imagined events of the
episode.
