House returns from his three-week baseball break, rested if not quite ready. (He doesn't have his medical license back yet.) He'll be at a medical conference on pharmacology with Cuddy and Wilson when his snoop, Lucas (Michael Weston), unexpectedly shows up. Back at the hospital, tonight's mystery disease has befallen a partying teenage girl whose appendages have swollen for no apparent reason. She also can't distinguish between fact and fiction.

Premise: A man named Ted tells his kids how he met the love of his life, through flashbacks, years in the future. The bored kids sit on the couch and listen as dad regales them with tales of his pursuit of romance. The sitcom's secondary character, Ted's smarmy friend, Barney, is a real standout, often stealing the show.
