(4-01) "Alone"
When an office building collapses, House has to work fast to diagnose a young woman, Megan, who survived the disaster. Due to her injuries, Megan's only form of communication is blinking. House, without a team since Foreman and Cameron quit and he fired Chase, talks through his ideas with a janitor at the hospital. As House persists in diagnosing Megan by himself, he realizes that the case is not what it appears, and that solitude may not be the answer.
(4-02) "The Right Stuff"
House is approached by a fighter pilot named Greta, a candidate for NASA’s astronaut training program. Greta suffers from a neurological disorder in which she is converting visual images to sound. Knowing that NASA would reject any possibility of her becoming an astronaut if they knew of her problem, Greta begs House to treat her in secret. Meanwhile, House is ruffled when he thinks he sees Cameron, Chase and Foreman in the hospital hallways.
(4-03) "97 Seconds"
The final 10 fellowship candidates compete ferociously when House splits them into two teams by gender. They are assigned to diagnose and treat a wheelchair-bound man with spinal muscular atrophy who is slowly suffocating. As the two teams try to one-up each other, complications arise. Meanwhile, Foreman runs his own team of fellows in his new job at another hospital, and resorts to using a very “House-like” treatment to help a patient.
(4-04) "Guardian Angels"
While having a seizure, a funeral home cosmetician hallucinates that she's being violently raped by one of the corpses she's working on. Later in the hospital, she acts as though her dead mother is in the room with her. Meanwhile, Cameron offers advice to one of the seven candidates for House's team; Foreman has lunch with Cuddy.
(4-05) "Mirror Mirror"
Foreman returns to the hospital and is assigned to oversee House's team candidates. A man is mugged and suffers from a respiratory arrest. He has no memories of who he is, but instead reads the personality of the most dominant person in the room, applying it to himself to create a temporary identity. His accuracy of being a judge of character intrigues House, who manipulates the man to judge others and ultimately judges whether House is more dominant than Cuddy.
(4-06) "Whatever It Takes"
House is recruited by the CIA to help diagnose a deathly ill agent. The agent's medical case is spearheaded by Dr. Samira Terzi, who offers very little information on the agent's history or previous assignments. With limited information to go on, House uses some unorthodox methods to try to crack the code and determine a diagnosis in time to save his patient's life. Meanwhile, Foreman faces resistance from the remaining six fellowship candidates when they question his judgment and argue over the diagnosis of a female drag car racer who passed out after a race.
(4-07) "Ugly"
House and his team are followed by a documentary film crew as they treat a teenager with a major facial deformity who suffered a heart attack prior to a reconstructive procedure. As they work to diagnose the teen, House finds himself distracted by several of the candidates vying for a spot on his team, causing him to question his own motives for having chosen them.
(4-08) "You Don't Want to Know"
House encounters a magician whose heart failed while performing an underwater escape act. While the remaining fellowship candidates work to diagnose him, House is determined to prove that he's a scam artist faking his ailments to cover up the fact that he nearly drowned during his act. In the meantime, House pits his team against one another in a challenge involving Cuddy, granting the winner immunity from elimination and a chance to nominate two other candidates to be put on the chopping block.
(4-09) "Games"
House assigns the candidates to a particularly challenging case involving an uncooperative punk guitarist with a history of drug abuse and civil disobedience while Cuddy orders House to make a final decision and hire his new team. House promises a guaranteed position on his team for the candidate who correctly diagnoses the patient. Meanwhile, Wilson informs a former patient that he had misdiagnosed him with terminal cancer and is now going to live.
(4-10) "It's a Wonderful Lie"
House and the team treat a woman who suffers from a sudden paralysis of the hands that causes an injury to her daughter while she's spotting her at an indoor rock-climbing wall. As House probes the woman and her injured daughter for any leads as to what might be causing her condition, he is convinced that the woman is withholding information.
(4-11) "Frozen"
When Dr. Cate Milton (guest star Mira Sorvino), a psychiatrist trapped at the South Pole and the research station's only doctor, becomes ill in the middle of her assignment, she and Dr. House are thrust into a long-distance relationship of sorts. Unable to get Cate out or any additional medical supplies to the South Pole station, House and his team must resort to treating her via webcam.
(4-12) "Don't Ever Change"
House and the team encounter a woman (guest star Laura Silverman) admitted to Princeton-Plainsboro after she collapsed at her wedding. Her test results come up negative for a variety of common diseases, which leads the team to suspect foul play. When they discover the woman had been a music producer living in the fast lane until she began to practice Hasidic Judaism, House insists that people do not change, and that her seemingly rash decision may be a symptom of the underlying condition.
(4-13) "No More Mr. Nice Guy"
House suspects an emergency room patient has a bigger problem than the E.R. initially diagnosed based on the fact that the patient is too nice. A skeptical House questions the patient's sunny disposition as the team tries to get to the bottom of his illness, but disagrees with House that niceness is a symptom. Meanwhile, House and Amber are at odds about how much time they each get to spend with Wilson, and Cuddy demands House give his team performance reviews.
(4-14) "Living the Dream"
House is convinced one of the actors on his favorite soap opera (guest star Jason Lewis) “Prescription Passion” has a serious medical condition after observing his symptoms on television. House decides to intervene and take matters into his own hands, but both the actor and House's own team dismiss House’s assessment and do not believe there is anything wrong with him. Meanwhile, much to House’s delight, Amber and Wilson have their first argument, and Cuddy tries to keep up appearances when an inspector makes an unexpected visit to Princeton-Plainsboro.
(4-15) "House's Head"
House finds himself dazed, confused and covered in blood after surviving a bus accident that left dozens seriously injured. Unable to clearly recall the events leading up to the crash due to his head injuries, House becomes convinced through his flashbacks that a fellow bus passenger was exhibiting signs of a deadly illness prior to the crash. Much to the team's dismay, House pushes through the pain of his own injuries, desperate to piece together the fragments of his shattered memory in order to save someone who might not even know he or she could be dying.
(4-16) "Wilson's Heart
Clues inside House's head hold the key to a patient's condition, and House's friendship with Wilson is tested beyond limits as murky memories from the bus accident the night before threaten to change their lives forever.
