House: Man of the House

While House tests his team by declaring that one of them will be his new second, they treat a marriage coach who suffers from fever, uncontrollable self-urination and double-vision. It turns out that low testosterone levels are the cause, but the patient worries that the treatment may change him into a man that his wife doesn't want.
