Instead of focusing on the patient, House would rather talk about problems with parents Taub. It turns out that Taub ex-wife and her new boyfriend wants to go to Portland, taking his daughter with him, he did not want to happen. But the house suggests that while Taub wants to be a part of her daughter's life, the child does not care anyway. Taub is obviously afraid he would destroy her child if he is not nearby. Chase and dropping all parents screw up all the kids, so no matter where and when that happens. This leads House to quickly analyze how individual members of his team has been screwed up by their parents, except Adams, who insists that his parents were completely normal and has no disorder in any way.
After a clinical patient encounter, the House of conversations with Wilson about the boxing match will see together on TV, but Wilson scored Ringside tickets. And since the House has an ankle monitor, of course, he can not walk. House says he will find a way to go anyway.
At the same time, the patient (17-year-old son) fights with his mother and stepfather want to be a geek to his biological father died when he was young. And when the patient begins to cough blood, the team thinks it may have a bone marrow transplant. But the House is more interested in getting boxing match, and almost off the prank to convince Foreman to let him go.
Because the patient needs a bone marrow transplant, the team wants to test the biological relatives in the match. But she insists that her father died and the family to live on his part. However, when the team weighs the mother, she admits that her father is not dead. He said to his son who died so that he does not want to be in contact with him, because he was drunk and drugged drugs. This information contact the Park Taub and his father, but he refuses to help. However, to trace the father did not make the difference as the team realizes that the patient needs a bone marrow transplant, has cancer.
After all the family drama with the patient if he had the right to prevent his ex-wife to move to Portland Taub questions so he can be with her daughter.
Foreman approaches Wilson to leave the house to fight, but Foreman says he can not. He says his job is to be the "reflex" and the work of Wilson is to be "friend". And this balance is the house in check. Therefore, Foreman said that Wilson can not go into battle. He must give up his ticket and stay home with the House. And Wilson reluctantly agrees.
Finally, the biological father of the hospital to see her son and mother freak out and tells him to leave. When the House of witnesses in this battle, he thinks, that there was something more than drugs and alcohol abuse and sexual abuse were conjectures. The mother admits that the abuse took place (but that his son was too young to remember), and the House for the diagnosis of the patient's long-dormant syphilis contracted from his father when the abuse 12 years ago.
Ultimately, Taub decides he has to be part of the lives of their children, even if you have the opportunity to screw it up as a result.
In the last scene is presented to Wilson House the opportunity to watch the game and leaves when no one answers the door. He calls back home and turn on the TV, as the fight is about to start. When the camera pans the crowd, he saw sitting ringside House and Foreman.
This is a classic episode of House, where the theme of the nature of the medical case and examine the theme for the rest of the show. In particular, this episode is very heavy Taub (like last week), and the house to spend most of the period, and the flogging bully Taub-more than the rest of his team, which raises the question: why Taub return to the House work? We know that Chase would not be able to work with anyone other than the House, but Taub was a thriving plastic surgery practice, and may work in other areas. Why go back? Perhaps we later learn, but now it seems that writers can jump the shark with the Taub. Here is hoping that the writers can focus on other members of the team for a while ', and Taub left alone in the near future.
