Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The episode opens with a chase scene: police officer Joe Luria (Scott Michael Campbell) is pursuing a suspect named Baby Shoes (Chioke Dmachi). It quickly becomes apparent that things are not quite right with the cop. What is his strange symptom?
2. As the diagnostic medicine team starts brainstorming about the police officer's symptoms, it's clear that there's still some lingering tension between Cameron and Foreman over events a few episodes previously. What is their fight about?
3. Temporarily stumped as to the cause of Joe's condition (now causing involuntary muscle spasms in his arms) -- and unable to do an MRI due to the metallic bullet fragments still lodged in his brain -- House employs his usual fallback plan: he instructs Foreman to break into the patient's apartment and get samples of anything suspicious. What is unusual about the apartment?
4. The team attempts to show Joe his improving chest X-rays -- and in the process they realize he's developed a new and disturbing symptom. What is it?
5. More trouble arises when Foreman starts to display the police officer's earliest symptom. What is House's first clue that something isn't right?
6. Joe's mystery illness has now infected two people: himself and Foreman. Everyone fears an epidemic. Joe and Foreman are confined to the same isolation ward; the apartment is sealed off as a biohazard area. Cameron wants to go back to the apartment to get more samples and perhaps to solve the mystery, but House won't let her -- so a desperate Foreman tries an unorthodox way of persuading her to do it anyway. What does he do?
7. After a few heart-to-heart chats with Foreman and one heartrending new symptom -- uncontrollable pain that persists even in a coma -- the police officer finally dies. House is ecstatic: surely the autopsy will reveal the nature of the infection! It turns out, however, that the hospital can't perform an autopsy. Why not?
8. Comparing Foreman's charts to Joe's, House realizes that the mystery illness is progressing much faster in Foreman than it did in Joe. Why?
9. Eventually, House gives Foreman a cocktail of pills to treat every infection he can think of, and for a time this reverses the progress of the mystery illness. Unfortunately, the drugs start to threaten Foreman's pancreas, and he has to be taken off them -- and then his decline is swift. Soon he'll have to be put into a coma to help manage the pain, but someone will have to make his decisions. To whom does Foreman give medical power of attorney?
10. At the end of the episode, the situation is desperate. House tours Joe's apartment one last time, hoping to find the answer while the dangerous brain biopsy can still be avoided. What turns out to be the cause of the mystery illness?
