A woman is heavily veiled in preparation for a traditional Hasidic Jewish wedding. But after the mazel tovs, she collapses and is taken to the hospital.
Dr. Wilson admits to Dr. House that he's been dating Dr. Volakis for several weeks now.
The team are surprised to learn that the patient is a record producer.
Dr. Foreman and Dr. Taub go to the patient's house looking for household cleaners with carbolic acid, but they only find organic cleaners.
The patient's husband demands another doctor because House has no respect for religion. Predictably, House doubles down on his blasphemy: the hospital is a temple, and in that temple, House is Yahweh.
This episode contains examples of the following tropes:
- Innocent Innuendo: Performed intentionally by Dr. House to Dr. Hadley about her bisexuality.House: You do it both ways, right?
Thirteen: What?
House: The ultrasound, standing up and lying down. What else would I mean? - Shout-Out: To Klingons in Star Trek. Dr. Kutner says he was a big fan of sci-fi in college, and one time claimed to be "a dahar master in the Klingon Empire."
