Unfaithful 09 . 02 . 16 A young priest named Daniel Bresson retreats to his tiny apartment upstairs from the homeless outreach center that he has just closed for the night . While drinking a glass of scotch , he hears a knock on the door downstairs . Annoyed , he opens the door to see a Jesus - like figure standing there , hovering above the ground . In the lobby of PPH , Cuddy asks House to attend her daughter ' s simchat bat , a Jewish baby naming ceremony . House declines the offer . He enters the ER and looks through the patient files , finding Bresson ' s . Cameron says he is just a drunk priest who hallucinated Jesus . House introduces the Bresson case to the team . They can ' t believe he chose this one . House tells Taub and Kutner to run an EEG for epilepsy and a CT for brain tumors . Foreman and Thirteen are sent to check the home for toxins . House admits to Foreman and Thirteen that he is not serious about the case . He refuses to tackle a real case until they choose between their relationship or their jobs . During the EEG , Bresson denies that he was drunk . Kutner wonders why Bresson has been on the move for years , and the priest says that a teen in his youth group accused him of inappropriate contact . The Church has moved him around since then . House tries to get Wilson to skip Cuddy ' s baby event . Meanwhile , Foreman and Thirteen discuss their options over lunch . Taub and Kutner report back to House what they found out about the priest . House declares the case is over . Thirteen and Foreman tell House that they are neither breaking up or quitting . House fires Foreman and asks for his badge . Foreman walks out . House tells Thirteen to go find a real case . Taub and Kutner discharge Bresson , who begs to stay . He knows something is wrong . Kutner looks at the foot Bresson complains about and finds a black toe which has fallen off . The toe is in a bottle on a desk in House ' s office . House , Taub and Kutner mull over the reasons . House orders a home inspection , testing the blood for carbon monoxide , and to put the patient in a hyperbaric chamber . Foreman cleans out his locker while he and Thirteen wonder what to do next . Meanwhile , Cuddy and House argue over her invite to attend the naming ceremony . He considers her a hypocrite for not being religious and having the event anyway . He ultimately accepts the invitation . Cuddy goes to Wilson , angry that Wilson prodded House to accept Cuddy ' s invitation . She wants him to uninvite House . Thirteen monitors Bresson in the hyperbaric chamber . She bickers with Taub and Kutner about Foreman . They hear Bresson calling for help in the chamber . He seems to be having a heart attack . Foreman comes to Cuddy to ask for a letter of recommendation . Cuddy declines , stating that House should have fired him for falsifying medical records when he put the hospital in jeopardy . Taub , Kutner and Thirteen brief House that Bresson ' s chest pain was not a heart attack . House debates Bresson on God , life and free will . Bresson has lost his faith . With the lungs testing clean , Bresson doesn ' t have pain as the catheter is pulled out . A new symptom arises : regional anesthesia . House says to run a nerve conduction study . Wilson tells House not to fire Foreman and stay away from Cuddy ' s baby naming . Meanwhile , Thirteen asks Chase and Cameron for advice on how to handle her dilemma . Taub and Kutner perform a nerve conduction study on Bresson . They find an intercostal neuralgia affecting a nerve that runs along the ribs . Suddenly , Bresson ' s right eye loses sight . Nothing is structurally wrong with the eye . With the heart rate down , sensory loss and progressive muscle weakness , the patient is shutting down . House uses a metaphor of a rock band and its lack of fans to illustrate the absence of white blood cells . So it must be the spleen . Thirteen stays behind to ask House whether he would rehire Foreman if she quits . If Foreman is okay with it , so is House . Taub and Kutner biopsy Bresson ' s spleen . House enters as Kutner inserts a syringe into Bresson ' s abdomen . They resume challenging each other ' s wits over faith and God . Cuddy approaches House as he leaves the patient room . She tells him he is unwelcome at her special occasion . He won ' t attend . The team runs stains on the spleen samples . Thirteen concludes that Bresson ' s spleen is all right , with a few " minor bugs . " House and Bresson continue their philosophical debate , which steers toward the topic of Cuddy . Taub interrupts to get House . The holy water in the church gave Bresson pneumocystis , which is a harmless bug that only affects people with compromised immune systems . " Father Nietzsche has AIDS , " House declares . Bresson refutes this diagnosis and refuses an AIDS test . Taub is willing to treat the patient for AIDS without a test . He is concerned about the teen that Bresson allegedly molested . House agrees . Thirteen tells Foreman that she found a new job and he can return to PPH . Foreman is defensive and Thirteen walks away . Meanwhile , Wilson and House disagree over who is and isn ' t a hypocrite by going to Cuddy ' s event . Taub meets Ryan , the teenager who accused Bresson , to disclose the AIDS information . Ryan is indifferent . The next morning , Foreman asks House for his job back . Thirteen argues with him and she storms off . House gives Foreman the option of going after her or getting his job back . Foreman doesn ' t leave and House tosses him his badge . Kutner sees that Bresson ' s chest is covered in boil - like lesions . The team is back together diagnosing . Taub suggests IgE Syndrome and Thirteen offers up neurofibronatoisis . She and Foreman start sparring so Taub and Kutner happily hurry out to perform a genetic test on Bresson . He is in the ICU and the lesions now cover his face . Ryan shows up in the room wanting to talk to Bresson . Taub tries to block him , but he weeps and apologize at Bresson ' s bedside . Wilson asks House if he is having second thoughts about Cuddy . They continue to clash until House has a realization . He erases the symptoms on the board one by one , leaving " hallucination . " House rushes out to the ICU to tell Bresson that he is not going to die . He has Wiskoot - Aldrich Syndrome , a genetic problem that seems like AIDS . The hallucination , however , was from the scotch . Cuddy approaches Cameron to tell her about the patient . Cameron suggests she tell House that she wants him to come to the baby naming ceremony tonight . Cuddy meets up with House in the lobby exiting the hospital . They share a moment but neither one can make a move . House exits . The ceremony begins at Cuddy ' s house . House sits in his apartment , alone . Thirteen enters her home to find Foreman waiting . They smile and she gives him a high five and a kiss . ♬ Music ♪♩ " Firesuite " - Doves ♬ Music ♪♩ " Cuddy ' s Serenade " - Performed by Hugh Laurie † House - isms ◆ " Wow , wish I could but I ' ve already put down a deposit on sixteen crates of jello .
