That is until another student comes in with the exact same symptoms. Meanwhile, an 82-year-old patient becomes obsessed with House who is trying to figure out the basis of her renewed fascination with her sexual feelings.

Dr. Wilson: [Wilson is reading a poem from a patient of House] "The healer with his magic powers / I could rub his gentle brow for hours. / His manly chest, his stubbled jaw, / Everything about him leaves me raw-
Dr. Gregory House: Psych ward's upstairs.
Dr. Wilson: -with joy / Oh, House, your very name / Will never leave this girl the same". It's not bad for an 82-year-old. She asked me to give that to her true love.
