Plot
Philanthropist Benjamin Byrd (Wentworth Miller) collapses outside of a training center for the homeless where he's made an incognito visit. When brought into Princeton Plainsboro, he offers a large payment to the hospital so that Dr. House (Hugh Laurie) will be able to reassemble his diagnostics team. Dr. Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard) is also placed in an ethical bind because Byrd offers a kidney to one of Wilson's needy patients. The team tries to determine whether Byrd's generosity is a symptom of mental instability, something confirmed when he expresses to Thirteen (Olivia Wilde) a desire to die so that all his organs can be harvested.
Dr. Jessica Adams (Odette Annable) works with House on a volunteer basis. She and Dr. Park (Charlyne Yi) clash over both their diagnoses of the patient and Adams' insistence on giving the proud Park increasingly large gifts, finally paying for House's car repair under the impression that it is Park's car.
House reaches out to the retired Thirteen. She aids him on the case and is nearly persuaded to return to the diagnostic team full time. He then fires her so that she can go to Greece with her new girlfriend guilt-free.
