Clancy, a seven-year-old boy, comes to the ER suffering from alien abductions and a bloody ass. House and the Cottages eventually discover that some of his cells have DNA that isn't Clancy's, causing his bloody ass and vision problems, and Cameron cleverly figures out a way to isolate them so they can be removed. But Clancy's still hallucinating about aliens, leading everyone to believe he's got some more of that alien DNA in his brain cells they can't find. Everyone except House, that is. He's having a confidence crisis after being wrong about last week's patient and doesn't think they should try anything else on Clancy since they've fixed the bleeding problem that brought him to PPTH in the first place. Fortunately, Cameron (thanks to the triumphant return of Evil Nurse Brenda!) finds out that last week's patient actually was cured by House and threatens to tell House about it if his lack of confidence interferes with his diagnostic abilities. So Cuddy is forced to tell him the truth, and he gets his brilliance back and figures out that Clancy is a chimera and also a way to find out which brain cells are his and which are his absorbed twin brother's. It involves brain surgery, electric probes, and House yelling at small children, so you know it's cool. Clancy goes home totally cured, and House confronts Wilson about lying to him after figuring out that Cuddy didn't do it alone. Wilson continues to be an *****, and House goes home to his only real friend, his cane. He'll need it now that the ketamine treatment seems to have worn off, the leg pain is back, and the Vicodin is being ingested.
