Air Date: May 15, 2007
From Fox Broadcasting Company:
A TEENAGE CHESS PRODIGY WITH A MYSTERIOUS ILLNESS AND A BAD ATTITUDE STUMPS THE TEAM ON “HOUSE” TUESDAY, MAY 15, ON FOX
Obnoxious 16-year-old chess prodigy Nate is admitted to Princeton-Plainsboro suffering from intense head pain that came on after he attacked his opponent during a speed chess tournament. Nate’s mother tells the team that Nate has been having behavior problems ever since he became a teenager, and House suspects the behavior is a symptom of cluster headaches. As House’s team carries out further testing to see why he might be having the headaches, Nate manages to offend and annoy each doctor on the team. As Nate’s illness progresses, his liver and kidneys begin to fail. To narrow down the list of possible diagnoses, House carries out a series of unconventional and eccentric tests of his own, including engaging Nate in a game of chess to try to beat him at his own game. Meanwhile, Foreman’s frustration with House reaches a new level when he believes House sabotaged his job interview with another hospital, and Cuddy makes Foreman an offer she’s sure he can’t refuse in “The Jerk” episode of HOUSE airing Tuesday, May 15 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. (HOU-323) (TV-TBA)
From The Futon Critic:
“In the last all-new May Sweeps episode of HOUSE, “The Jerk” (Tuesday, May 15, 9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT), House meets his match in the form of Nate (guest star Nick Lane), an obnoxious 16-year-old chess prodigy with intense head pain and behavioral issues, who manages to annoy and offend every member of House’s team during his course of treatment. Meanwhile, Foreman’s frustration with House reaches a new level when he believes House sabotages his job interview with another hospital.”
