Answer: Sociopaths, no

In this episode a young patient's brother develops a crush on Cameron and attacks Chase because he thinks they are together. Cameron and Chase ring House who responds in his usual pithy manner.

House: "Not interested."
Chase: "Figured you'd like to know when one of your employees gets attacked by a sociopath."
