House gets a patient who won"t lie about anything, even going so far as to tell her daughter which sexual position she favors (apparently, her eleven-year-old daughter felt the need to know this about her mother, which is kind of weird, don"t you think? Almost as weird as House"s need to ask an eleven-year-old girl what her mother"s favorite sexual position is, in fact). House is determined to prove to 13 that everybody lies, while their patient keeps right on dying as her lymph nodes close her throat up and her bones turn to stone. When it looks like Mom"s only hope is a bone marrow donation from her daughter that Mom refuses to allow, House figures out that she has told her daughter at least one lie -- she"s adopted and her real mother is a drug addict. But the joke"s on Mom in the end, as it turns out that she doesn"t have a terminal disease after all, but still-curable breast cancer, courtesy of some rogue breast cells hanging out in the back of her knee that House makes lactate and then FEEDS THE MILK TO THE ELEVEN-YEAR-OLD GIRL. GROSSSSS!!!!!! Also, it"s Christmas in late January, so House manipulates the Secret Santa so that everyone has to buy him awesome presents, and even though they figure it out (thanks to 13, who has all of House"s moves down pat even though she"s only known him for like two episodes), they do it anyway and then he goes to church (!!!) to see a prostitute ride a donkey. Never thought I"d see the day where a donkey got more screen time than Cameron, but there you go.
