Moments, in order
Cuddy's case: a psychiatrist trapped at the South Pole
Cuddy hands House a patient he cannot reach, the team chases the one diagnosis House finds fun, and the team turns to geology gear to break a kidney stone.
House declares war over patient cable
Cuddy won't restore cable in patient rooms, so House starts ordering pointless tests to burn through the money the fees bring in.
Team MacGyver and House's rock star entrance
The team rigs a flaw detector to break a stone over video, House mocks the plan, takes the stage and sends them to spy on Cameron in the ER.
House meets his match on the video link
Cate pushes back on House's kidney stone theory and his sex questions, reminding him only she controls her actions.
Talked through stabbing her own chest
Cate's lung collapses with nobody nearby, and House coaches her to put a needle between her own ribs before she suffocates.
The patient joins her own differential
With Cate on the line, House and the team trade theories; one doctor wants to go gently on cancer, and House tells her straight.
Cate makes House give a video tour of his apartment
Cate refuses to undress for an exam unless House shows his home, then reads his books, bourbon and lack of photos.
Remote lymph node exam, socks stay on
House talks Cate through palpating her own nodes over video, needling her all the way until they find a swollen one.
Wilson catches House asking 'are you okay'
As Cate biopsies her own node, House slips and uses her name and asks if she's okay, and Wilson pounces.
Cameron calls off the dogs; House goes to DEFCON 1
Cameron resigns from the budget committee to end the sabotage, so House orders the team to make her mess up and fix it after.
Wilson reads Cate's slide, and her other kidney
Wilson and Cate size each other up over a wine-stained biopsy; it is not cancer, but then pain hits her other side.
Cuddy's fake firing of Cameron
Cuddy tells House Cameron was fired over a drug error; House picks apart the story and spots the conspiracy against him.
Cate goes out into the Antarctic cold
Cate rejects prednisone without proof and takes the risky cold-exposure test; the line goes silent and she slips into a coma.
House works out that Sean is in love
While hunting for Wilson's girlfriend's name, House asks the station mechanic to taste the patient's urine and realizes why he agrees so fast.
The real game: House wants a team that pushes back
House threatens to fire the team over Cameron, rejects every answer until one refuses to play, then still asks them to pay for his cable.
Sean has to drill a hole in her skull
The urine tastes watery, the only way forward is a burr hole, and Sean has to be talked into doing it himself.
Skull drilling by video link
House guides Sean through drilling through the skull; fluid drains and Cate wakes asking for him.
The broken toe under her socks
A team member finally stands up to House, the differential lands on fat emboli, and the socks come off to reveal the toe.

House crashes Wilson's dinner, lays out his theory of the girlfriend and of his own socks blunder, then the date arrives.
