I liked the synergy of this episode a lot, but I wouldn't call it the most compelling case by far...
An older man has an odd seizure during his bridge club, and then it's discovered that he needs a new heart or he'll be dead in a week. Meanwhile, a woman who was in a car crash dies in the emergency room, but due to her weight her organs are considered not viable, to spite being an organ donor. House's patient is denied a request to be put on the transplant list because of his being 65. So House, naturally, sees an opportunity and seizes it. However, it is then revealed that the woman had gonorrhea (which would transfer to the recipient), but House is certain he can cure the man of the STD, if they get the heart in him in time.
House give Cameron the unenviable job of informing the dead woman's husband that she had gonorrhea, so he could be tested when he blurts out his own confession of infidelity and that he believes he gave the STD to his wife. Cameron lets him believe this, thus avoiding having to tell the man that intimate pictures of some of his wife's male students were found in her belongings.
And as House continues to pressure Wilson about cheating on his wife, the parameters of their friendship is questioned; But it's House who is surprised when Wilson arrives on his doorstep after his wife admits to her own affair.
It's sex, lies and differentials in this installment of House, as we watch people use the guise of 'protecting others' to justify deception.
