Meanwhile, House looks for creative ways to remove his ankle monitor so that he can attend a boxing match in Atlantic City. John Scurti plays a patient convinced he is suffering from diabetes. Taub faces a major decision when his ex-wife Rachel announces she plans on moving across country with their daughter.

Jennifer Crystal Foley and Zena Grey return to the series.

gollark: Did you know the light-sensitive part is actually *below* the bits carrying data back from that?

gollark: Really, human eyes are just bad.

gollark: I read a fairly convincing argument that voting had essentially zero benefit to you and some costs (time spent on doing it, and *possibly* strained relationships with friends and stuff, but arguably this is orthogonal).

gollark: Vote entirely at random.

gollark: Lots of things in life weren't ever actually designed. Ascribing purpose to them seems silly.
