Needing the family history of his current patient Kyle Wasniak (Zeb Newman), House must turn to Kyle's only living relative, his father Gabe (John Larroquette)--who has spent the past ten years in a coma. Though he is able to awaken Gabe, securing the man's cooperation turns out to be another matter entirely. Meanwhile, Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard) gets sore when he finds out that House has stolen his prescription pad to get more Vicodin--and his loyalty to House is really stretched to the breaking point when the vengeful Detective Tritter (David Morse), determined to put House away on drug charges, begins ruthlessly bearing down on the clinic's staff. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
