What a great episode of House.

The patient of the week featured a cool, humorous case of frontal lobe inhibition - which resulted in truth-telling that would make House blush - and was played by a great actor, Jay Karnes (Dutch from The Shield).

Meanwhile, the unique bond between Wilson and House was explored in detail via a storyline that involved Wilson's homeless brother.
