Lucy Palermo is a schizophrenic mom with deep vein thrombosis and also displays mixed symptoms, including a tumor, but House realizes her cannot figure out what is wrong with her. After an anonymous call to Social Services, House begins to question whether Lucy is really schizophrenic, and causes her son, Lucas, to blame Dr. House for making the call which will take him away from her. House decides to then take Lucy off all her medication and then secretly sends Foreman and Chase to search her apartment for clues. All of this happens on House's birthday which he is trying to forget, but no one will let him.

Episode Quotes |
| |
House: Love the outfit. It says "I'm a professional, but I'm still a woman." Actually, it sort of yells the second part.
Dr. Cuddy: Yeah, and your big cane is real subtle too.
| Dr. Foreman: Mickey Mantle had a whole bar named after him - he got a transplant.
House: Yeah, well Lucy can't switch hit.
| House: I can tell you're upset about something. You're going to open up to me, aren't you?
Luke: It's my fault...
House: Here we go...
| Dr. Cameron: You really didn't know?
House: No, I didn't, and frankly I'm angry. Which I'm guessing is the correct response, which I'll know better once I know what you're talking about.
Dr. Cameron: Your birthday.
House: Oh. Anger was a bad guess.
| House: You think I'm crazy.
Dr. Wilson: Well, yeah, but that's not the problem.
| Luke: You said you wouldn't call. You're a real bastard, you know?
House: Yeah, I get that a lot.
| Dr. Wilson: You won't talk to patients because they lie, but give you a patient with no concept of reality...
| House: Gee, I wish my idea was as cool and vivid as yours. By the way, do you have one?
| House: It turns out your best judgment is not good enough. Here's an idea - next time, use mine.
| House: So when I said, "No Psych Meds," I'm just curious - which word didn't you understand . . . ?
| Dr. Cameron: Happy birthday.
House: Okay . . . whose?
| House: The boys in the lab – sure, they're hard drinkers. But they're pros.
| House: We needed blood for tests. I assume that was the only way to get it.
Luke: (Blocking House) [Foreman] knocked her out!
House: Look, I've got a cane and I know how to use it.
| House: How old is she?
Luke: You're a doctor?
House: Own my own stethoscope. Did I ask you how old she is? I forget.
| Dr. Chase: [House] likes crazy people. He likes the way they think.
Dr. Foreman: They think...badly. That's the definition of...crazy.
Dr. Chase: They're not boring. He likes that
| Dr. Foreman: [House's] really talking to a patient.
Dr. Chase: I don't know who I am any more.
| Luke: Is this a good hospital?
House: Depends on what you mean by "good". I like the chairs

Cultural References |

Chase: The Madness of King George.
This is a reference to the insanity, brought on by porphyria, that gripped King George III in his final years and, more specifically, to the 1994 film of the same name starring Nigel Hawthorne. It is likely also intended as an in-joke as Hugh Laurie played Prince George, King George III's son and the future King George IV, in Blackadder the Third.
| WILSON: You won’t talk to patients because they lie, but give you patient with no concept of reality…
(...)
HOUSE: And that guitar player in that English band – he was great. (...) Pink Floyd.
House is talking about the late Syd Barret, former guitarist of the Brittish progressive rock band, Pink Floyd. Barret was kicked out of the band for heavy drug use that jeopardized the functioning of the band. He literally had no concept of reality as Wilson mentions, his drug use caused psychological problems. Barrett withdrew into near-total seclusion and never released any more material.
