D.B. Sweeney of FIRE FROM THE SKY fame plays an old schoolchum of House's who suddenly turns up with a teenage daughter suffering from hallucinations and assorted other scary symptoms. From the get-go, House is convinced the "daughter" is no daughter at all, but a grifter putting one over on his easily conned friend. A paternity test will clear things up, if Sweeney will only agree to one. To House's dismay, his old roommate declares himself to be a man of faith and blind trust. House prefers to call him gullible. A test of wills ensues. A bone marrow transplant may be required, and House warns his old friend of the dangers of such a procedure. By now, we know that Cuddy's "date" with Wilson was all in the name of finding a sperm donor. She now seeks House's help in finding the perfect match. In a funny way, the two draw closer. In fact, Cuddy sort of bares her soul to House. Only it's not exactly her soul she bares.
