Cuddy asks House whether he feels any guilt for his part in the events leading up to Dr. Volakis's death. Cuddy and House recap the events of the previous season finale: House was too drunk at a bar, so he called Wilson to get him, but Volakis came instead and got on the bus with him.

Patty Michener (Jamie Rose), a prominent woman's rights lawyer, is meeting with a bunch of businessmen when her assistant Lou (Christine Woods) flips out, imagining herself crawling with ants.

Dr. House is playing video games and drinking pop from a very large cup in a patient's room. Dr. Cuddy comes in, shuts off the video game and tells House that Dr. Wilson is coming back today after two months of bereavement leave. House acts like he doesn't really care. Dr. Foreman comes in and tells them about the new case.

! This episode contains examples of the following tropes:
* NothingIsTheSameAnymore: Dr. Wilson leaves, and Dr. House's attempt to get a ReplacementGoldfish fails miserably.
* StatusQuoIsGod: Mostly averted, though only temporarily.
* TitleDrop: "Almost dying changes nothing," Dr. House says. "Dying changes everything."
