Basically the tests prove close to nothing, but it's more than actually nothing, so they'll go with it. They'll also try to warm the blood from the inside, since the whirlpool isn't doing well enough. House and Foreman have a short exchange, and it's enough to make House shit. Or maybe it's the laxatives. Regardless, he goes back into the bathroom, and Foreman follows him in. Well, doesn't follow him in. But he goes in to continue talking. Foreman tries to tell House he's doing something wrong, and House tells Foreman to stop being Cuddy's errand boy, which pisses him off and he leaves. I would say there's probably not much worse than thinking you have a point to win an argument, then you go into said argument while someone is dropping a deuce, only to get pissed off, ultimately retreating from the argument. At least maybe the fresh air was a moral victory.

There is no winning an argument with a guy on a crapper.

Cuddy confronts House about their methods of raising the guy's body temperature. She weakly objects, and House wins. However, House realizes something is amiss when Cuddy let him win so easily, and he realizes it's because Cuddy is trying to stroke his ego. Unless she's willing to stroke something else (in addition to his ego) this isn't over. And by something else I mean fire Foreman. Think about it. It makes absolute sense. Anyways, House says that he can tell when his pills aren't vicodin, but can Cuddy tell when her birth control isn't birth control? I would say that's an equal threat to whoever she sleeps with.

Time to see what Foreman is thinking via Martin. He's surprisingly feeling good, and nothing works the way it's supposed to work. But they do what's necessary, and that's all that matters. Martin is almost ecstatically happy. Then he quickly crashes, still in the hot tub. People rush in, they get him out and towel him off. Kal says he's dry enough and shocks him. It works, but it also sent Kal flying onto the ground and unconscious. There's another new experience! Bitching.

House commends Kal, and then insults him for either his aversion to towels or his death wish. Foreman brings focus back to the patient though, and House orders a fourth round of cultures. Foreman says they should biopsy the heart, but when obscure says that's too dangerous, Foreman suggests the toe. House likes the idea of the heart better, and volunteers to go with Foreman. They ride the elevator together, and House says he's gotten Foreman a job in Boston. Foreman is impressed, but then says he doesn't want the job. Then he says he's apparently not miserable. House thinks he sees a smile and, angrily, tells Foreman to do his own stupid biopsy.

Cute woman and black doctor are back, and they've finally gotten to Martin's car. They know his name (Robert Elliott) and he's from Ohio, but they find nothing else. House says a biopsy is quicker than waiting to get medical records, and then has cute woman stay behind. He asks her why she volunteered to go with black doctor, and then he accuses her of not wanting to 'look in the mirror.' Or look through the Martinglass if you will.

Foreman is tending to Martin, and House comes in, gives him a break and tells cute woman to tend to the patient. At which point Martin points out how hot she is. Apparently it's house who Martin is seeing, not cute woman. House leaves and tells Kal to look in on the patient, and Martin then mimics her, and is crippled with fear. Kal and House are discussing why he should go into the exam room when cute woman walks out, reporting nothing found on the biopsy. Since the blood is congealing again, they're going to put him back into the hot tub. Kal says Martin loved the hot tub, and House says, no, you, Kal, loved the hot tub. Kal mutters under his breath that he hates hot tubs. The point was that being in the hot tub reminded Martin of something, so they need to 'splash' him some more.

House walks in to Martin's room, and he's dressed, well, interestingly. Probably in stuff from Robert Elliott's car. He says his name is Robert Elliott and he's from Ohio, and Martin says 'Me too.' Following similar dialogue, Martin says he's in Jersey on business. There is a lot of seemingly pointless talk, except it establishes that Martin travels a lot. Also, the vapor balm they found in his car is used to put on his nose because it doesn't smell like shit.

Apple pie, anyone?
