Foreman thinks they have different diseases. Cameron thinks it is something non-contagious and non-environmental. The wife is getting worse and the husband is vomiting blood. The husband gets worse, but the problem hasn't spread to his brain so they still can't do a biopsy. The husband says he would die for his wife. Foreman manages to give the patient a tranquilizer. Foreman tries to help, but House has locked the medicine cabinet. House orders the husband's morphine cut off, but his team won't do it, so House fakes out his team and injects the husband with an opiate blocker to put him in pain. House is furious with Wilson for letting that happen. The husband is reluctant because his wife is so smart, and instead proposes they stop treating him so they can biopsy him instead. Cuddy agrees with Cameron, but agrees to let Wilson talk to the husband if House apologizes to the clinic patient. Cameron refuses to let House ask the husband for consent, because his condition puts him in in a conflict of interest and the risks are too high. Despite this, House wants to do a brain stem biopsy on the wife. Wilson still denies he's dating her and accuses House of hoping he will have bad relationships so he will have more time for him. House goes to Wilson for a second opinion about the sarcoidosis, but he is really there to show Wilson the nurse's personnel file. Foreman thinks it might be two different diseases, but House thinks it might be sarcoidosis, even though there is no known environmental cause that would explain it. No fever develops, so it can't be an infection, and it's not environmental because no one else they know has the symptoms. They ran away from home when they were 16 and got married when they both became 20 years old. The husband tells Foreman that his father broke his arm and threatened his wife when they were 13 and living next door to each other and started getting friendly. The wife starts hallucinating that she sees her husband's dead father, then goes into a coma. House orders Foreman to take the wife off steroids to see if she develops a fever. The husband, who is white while his wife is black, thinks Foreman is racist. House goes to confront the patients, but the wife says they were just being extra-cautious so they don't become pregnant. Chase points out that an STD would explain their symptoms. House is convinced that one of them is cheating, even though Foreman thinks they love each other. Chase finds condoms, leading him to believe that the husband is cheating. House tells his team to test for anything they could have gotten from the same source, like an infection or an environmental toxin.Д¬hase and Foreman go to the patients' home. House finds jazz tickets but no jazz CDs, which leads him to believe that she's trying to please Wilson. Foreman tells House Wilson isn't dating her. They start going through a new differential while House breaks into the nurse's locker. House tells Foreman he won the bet, even though the wrong person had the reaction. He bets Foreman $100 that there will be a reaction during a stress test.ДЇoreman performs the test, and while the patient is on the treadmill, her husband starts having the same pain symptoms in his chest and stomach. This leads House to believe it might be stress related anaphylaxis. However, the patient develops a rash which appears to indicate an allergy to the antibiotics. The patient denies smoking a lot of marijuana, which is where they suspect the salmonella comes from, but agrees to the antibiotics. House agrees with Chase who thinks it might be salmonella and orders treatment. She didn't get it from the robber who coughed on her he is healthy if injured from his encounter with the husband. Meanwhile, Cameron still wants to talk about the patient's anaphylaxis and pain. Wilson denies that he is having a relationship with her, but House thinks he's lying. When the nurse goes on her way, House reminds Wilson about his three failed marriages. The nurse already knows House by reputation. House goes to break them up by telling her about Wilson cutting through his cane. The team starts to discuss the case, but House is distracted by Wilson talking to a new nurse from pediatrics. During an aborted robbery attempt at a diner, a beautiful young woman, who had been threatened with rape but had been saved by her husband, is suddenly unable to breathe.
