A girl scout leaders guide

House and Cuddy hooked up! OK, they just kissed. But, House and Cuddy hooked up! We’ll get back to that later. But, House and Cuddy hooked up!

But we digress…:We opened on a guy having some serious issues in his kitchen, apparently pouring himself cups of coffee from a row of coffee makers on his counter, and dumping them into the sink. He is marking down results on a clipboard. His 12 year old daughter comes in and he asks her if she called a friend to spend the night (it’s her birthday). She tells him that when he has a friend over, so will she. She leaves for school and suddenly is home again, telling him that it is 4:30pm. He has lost time. Later he blinks and is sitting in the living room with her, again losing hours. His daughter was equally flabbergasted by his bizarre behavior. She finally asked him what was wrong and he said, “I don’t know.”

Cuddy was giddy about her adoption approval and handed House the case of the messed-up, coffee-drinking guy. House knew that Cuddy was meeting the mother of a baby she would be getting and Cuddy admitted the woman was delivering a baby girl in two weeks. The birth mother had confessed to “some past meth use.” House told Cuddy “you’re not equipped to handle a real kid, let alone a factory second.” Cuddy said she wasn’t going to change her mind about adopting.

The coffee guy was a consumer product tester who worked at home and the team was trying to figure out his problem.

Thirteen and Taub went to check the guy’s house and found a barren room where his young daughter lived. Taub said single people shouldn’t have kids. They found some mold in the baseboards of the apartment. It’s never mold. Back at the hospital, Thirteen did some tests on the daughter. The girl said she was four when “the accident happened” and her mother died. She said, completely stone faced, that she didn’t “get what the big deal about death is.” Thirteen and Foreman saw the patient trying to leave the hospital and they realized he was sleepwalking.

Foreman insisted sleepwalking wasn’t a diagnosis if they didn’t know why he was sleepwalking. House realized they were only going to find out what the guy was up to if they let him walk out his dreams while sleeping.

Cuddy went to meet the birth mother at a diner. She just had one question for Cuddy, which was what she was going to name the baby. Cuddy said she was thin
