The team returns to suggesting treatments, and House decides to go with all of the suggestions, including Chase's idea, they do nothing. Cuddy accepts the explanation with a hint of skepticism but quietly exits the room.

Meanwhile, the team reviews the test results while they wonder where House is. House explains the situation with Tritter to him. Finally, Wilson shows up with the $15,000 bail. Of course, House is in jail waiting for bail from his arrest by Detective Tritter. The team wonders why House is even later than usual. Cuddy advises the team the patient is 46 years old and weighs at least 600 pounds, but otherwise, his tests are not only normal but optimal, including his blood sugar and cholesterol. They bring the patient to Princeton-Plainsboro, where they try to determine why he is comatose.
