Pressing for a lung biopsy, Taub tells the patient that leaving plastic surgery gave him meaning but not happiness, and she says meaning wasn't enough.

Someone has rigged a trip wire for House; he shrugs it off, and the team suspects he's already figured out who did it while they pin down a liver bleed.
