Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The episode opens with Dr. House looking confused and saying he can't remember the last four hours of his life. He unsuccessfully attempts a memory test and then notices he's bleeding from his head. In which of these places was House in during the first scene of the episode?

Answer: Strip club

The episode starts with House getting a lap dance at a strip club while having random visions of him in a bus. He thinks he's drunk, but the stripper tells him his drinks haven't even arrived. Then, he asks the stripper to say five animals as a way for testing global memory impairment, a test he fails.

He diagnoses himself with a concussion and retrograde amnesia, and theorizes he's been mugged, though the stripper denies that because he already paid. House then says "someone is going to die unless I find them" since he vaguely remembers seeing a symptom in someone before.

When House leaves the strip club, he encounters a chaotic scene full of ambulances and firetrucks, which leaves him startled.
2. House is shown speaking to a skeptical Wilson in the emergency room of Princeton-Plainsboro hospital, while being treated for his injuries by Dr. Cameron. Eager to remember what symptom he saw, he devises a plan to keep everyone who was in the accident in the ER. What infection does House claim one of the patients has in order to force a lockdown of the ER?

Answer: Meningitis

House insists that he saw a symptom before the crash, but Wilson dismisses him claiming that he could've been remembering one of the many injuries derived from the bus crash. House's team comes to check on him, and even though he tries to give them instructions, he can't remember their names. He asks Thirteen to find out if anyone who was involved in the accident is being treated at another hospital. Dr. House approaches a bus driver and says he thought he saw a seizure right before impact, but the driver denies it. He also thinks it could be leukemia, but Wilson once again turns down House's theory.

House then prevents a patient from leaving, falsely telling him that he has a fever. Taking advantage of the patient's "stiff neck" from the accident, House yells that the man has meningitis, causing the ER to quarantine and give him time to think.
3. House's team briefs him on the patients and explains that some are being treated at Princeton General. Kutner suggests accessing his boss's prefrontal cortex to try and help him remember the events of last night through medical hypnosis. Which doctor, who is Australian, performs the hypnosis on House?

Answer: Dr. Chase

House isn't impressed with the symptoms displayed by the patients because they would all be expected from a crash, which doesn't match the symptom he saw before the impact. Dr. House wants his team to search every bar between the hospital and the crash site to figure out where he went last night, but his team refuses since they have to go back to the ER and treat the other patients. Before leaving, Kutner brings up medical hypnosis since it could bring the brain to Class II Theta State and help with memory retrieval.

Dr. Robert Chase, played by Jesse Spencer, was on House's team for the first three seasons but was fired. He now works at the hospital's surgical team. Chase says that he learned this hypnosis technique in a rotation in Melbourne.
4. House is initially unconvinced about hypnosis, but then it works and he successfully visualizes himself in a bus, then a bar. All he sees are people without clear faces until someone shows up in the bar. Which character, who is Wilson's girlfriend, appears in House's visualization of the bar?

Answer: Amber

Chase hypnotizes House while a skeptical Wilson watches. Dr. House believes it's a waste of time until he sees himself on the bus, but is unable to remember the details. Chase says memories further from the incident could be clearer, which helps House see himself drinking heavily at a bar. Wilson seems confused that House would go out drinking so early and without him. House then asks Wilson to "get his girlfriend out of there," making the oncologist suspicious as to why House saw her in his subconscious. House eventually sees the bartender from the night he was at the bar, and remembers that he took his keys away from him. This is what caused him to take the bus instead.

Dr. Amber Volakis was introduced as one of the candidates for House's new diagnostic team early in the season. She managed to last until the end, but she was fired by House because he didn't think her attitude matched what he was looking for. Despite not being in House's team, she later starts a relationship with Wilson. Actress Anne Dudek portrays the role of Amber.
5. House's team gets together to diagnose the bus driver, as it appears he is the one in whom House detected symptoms prior to the accident. While they talk, another brief memory in House's brain is triggered and he abruptly leaves the room. What unconventional action does he take next?

Answer: Smells the clothes of the injured passengers

House thinks he saw a person cough on the bus and immediately examines him in the ER. However, he finds nothing that indicates something is wrong. He then turns to the bus driver, who suddenly is unable to move his leg. At this point, he becomes a patient for the diagnostic team since House thinks he is the person with the symptom he saw before the crash.

While discussing the symptoms, House sees Dr. Taub drinking coffee and has a sudden and brief memory. He realizes he can activate his memories through smell, so he leaves the meeting room and goes back to the ER to smell the patients' clothes.

The doctors express concern about his state (especially after taking four Vicodin pills in 30 seconds), but this actually works. House has a hallucination where he speaks to the bus driver (as an extension of his subconscious) and then a woman who he doesn't think was on the bus. Before House can talk to her, Wilson taps him on the shoulder and wakes him up from the hallucination.
6. Wilson takes House to the MRI machine to examine his head for possible internal damage. After House walks into the bus driver's hospital room, Foreman points out that the diagnostician is bleeding from another part of his body. From which part of House's body does Foreman see blood coming out?

Answer: Ear

Dr. Cuddy and Dr. Wilson both examine House's MRI scans and conclude he has a fractured skull and needs to rest. Naturally, House ignores them and continues trying to find an answer to the bus driver's symptoms. Thirteen and Foreman were convinced with their Transverse Myelitis diagnosis, but the patient's stomach pain rules that out. Foreman tells House he's bleeding from his ear, but Hugh Laurie's character completely ignores the feedback.

Instead, he says he needs to take a bath and has Thirteen prepare a sensory deprivation tank for him.
7. While in a sensory deprivation tank, House is back in his brain's visualization of the bus and sees a hallucination of his boss, Dr. Cuddy. In a scene that was widely acclaimed by critics, Cuddy pole dances in front of House while discussing potential diagnoses for the bus driver. Once House is woken up by the hospital crew, he concludes that the patient is suffering from which of the following disorders that affects movement and coordination?

Answer: Parkinson's

Cuddy initially appears in her normal clothes, but then House turns it into a fantasy. Lisa Edelstein's character dances provocatively in front of House as they discuss the bus driver's potential conditions, such as aortic insufficiency, Marfan's syndrome, syphilis, Ehlers-Danlos, and Cutis Laxa. House's subconscious appears to prefer diagnosis rather than Cuddy, so the dancing stops. The bus driver then talks to House and proposes Huntington's, a disease that Thirteen does have. The driver then suggests Parkinson's because of his irregular movement when he helped a passenger get on the bus.

Dr. House is pulled out of the hallucination by his team. He tells them it is Parkinson's and instructs them to start the patient on levodopa (a drug used to treat Parkinson's and other central nervous system conditions), but then throws up and passes out before he can say anything else.
8. House is sent home to rest, a situation he evidently isn't happy with. Back at the hospital, the team puts the bus driver through a test to examine his condition and observe any heart complications. It consists of running on a treadmill while eating a source of carbohydrates, which lends its name to the test. Which of the following did the patient undergo?

Answer: Bagel Test

The test performed by the doctors is known as a MIBI Stress Test or Nuclear Stress Test. It requires the patient to run on a treadmill while eating food high in carbohydrates, such as a bagel or hard roll. This allows detection of heart and blood flow abnormalities, and typically takes a long time to complete (given that the patient doesn't collapse). From home, House overcomes the strict nurse assigned to him by Cuddy to call the team and instruct them to perform a bagel test. Initially, the patient is doing well, but then he collapses and wheezes, changing the diagnosis yet again.

Cuddy calls Dr. House back to the hospital. The team prepares to take the patient to the operating room, but House notices that a recent dental surgery the patient had may have caused an air bubble to be pushed into his gums. He locks the team out of the room and convinces Thirteen to stab the driver with a syringe, successfully removing the air bubble.
9. Dr. House returns to his home and tries to get some sleep, now being personally supervised by Dr. Cuddy. In his dream, the mysterious woman who claimed to be "the answer" shows up again, slowly bringing back more fragments from House's memory. After tying a scarf around the woman's leg, despite not remembering why he did that, he utters three words. What does he say to the woman after tying the scarf?

Answer: Stay with me

House has a dream where the woman (played by Ivana Milicevic) appears again and shows him her necklace, but House cannot decide if that is somehow significant. Then, he ties a red scarf around the woman's leg, after which he says "stay with me". Immediately after that, he wonders why he said that and sees blood coming out of the woman's leg. Dr. House wakes up startled and tells Cuddy they need to recreate the moment when he was on the bus because he might have saved the wrong person.
10. House recreates the scene of the accident with hospital personnel playing the victims. He takes physostigmine to stimulate brain activity and successfully has another hallucination. For the last time, he sees the woman, who asks what her necklace is made of in order to figure out who she really is. Finally, the last details of the accident come back to House and he now sees the crash playing out in real-time, being able to discern who the person he was thinking about was. Did House know this person before the accident?

Answer: Yes

House manages to get a group of people on a bus to recreate the accident, hoping that it would help with contextual memory. Cuddy refuses to get the victims, so he instead recruits the hospital personnel to hang pictures of the passengers around their necks. House takes physostigmine, a drug that has been used experimentally to help people with Alzheimer's, to further stimulate activity in his brain. He has yet another conversation with the woman in his subconscious, who asks what her necklace is made of. House first replies "resin", but then realizes the correct answer is "amber". At that point, the woman turns into Amber, Wilson's girlfriend and a former fellowship candidate for Dr. House's team, and the scene from the crash is fully replayed. We see the chaotic moment when the glass shatters and passengers are violently thrown around the bus. Amber is bleeding profusely and has a metal rod perforating her leg. House, who is also injured, crawls towards Amber, ties her scarf around her leg, and tells her "stay with me", giving meaning to his earlier hallucinations.

House wakes up to Wilson and Cuddy performing CPR on him, since he had a heart attack caused by the physostigmine overdose. As he gets his breath back, he identifies "Jane Doe #2", who was being treated at Princeton General, as Amber, leaving everyone shocked. The episode ends in a cliffhanger.
