Nursing-home worker Morgan fakes an illness to get House's attention after the home's pet cat, Debbie, sleeps next to her.
Ruling out multiple illnesses, House observes Debbie sitting on his warm computer and determines the cat is attracted to warmth.
After a brief discussion on her willingness to sacrifice all on a crazy suspicion, she remarks that William Miller, the preacher that House had compared her with previously, had many followers, but even after being proven wrong about the second coming again and again, his congregation went on to found the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
[1] During the diagnoses of Morgan, House ridicules Kutner about his superstitious nature, and tests him with classics such as the umbrella indoors and walking under a ladder.
Towards the end of the episode, House sits down at his desk to build a toy car track similar to the one he was working on in the opening sequence, only to spring up upon realizing his chair is soaked with urine.
Barbara Barnett of Blogcritics wrote that "there was much to enjoy" and that the episode was generally humorous and light-hearted, especially House childishly teasing Kutner, but the "goading" of Taub was cruel and unnecessary.
Among other things, he stated the disappointment in House's rationalization of the cat's behavior, but praised the House-Kutner pranks, as well as Taub's scam story.
