Dr. Hadley's in bed with a woman, Spencer (Creator/AngelaGots), in her apartment. The two met at a bar the night before. It's a nice, cozy moment, until Spencer has a seizure. At the hospital, Dr. Cameron asks for the patient's name. Hadley doesn't know.

The seizure was simply the result of dehydration after a lot of alcohol and Ecstasy. It doesn't seem like a very interesting case, but it's titillating to Dr. House, thus making Spencer the PatientOfTheWeek. House orders Hadley to stick a needle in her girlfriend's pelvis and draw out some bone marrow.
