Clueless - S2-E15

Question: I'm very confused about something and please correct me if I'm wrong. Vincent and Charlotte both got herpes because he was on a toilet seat. After Charlotte found out how she got herpes, why did she take her ring off, put it on Cuddy's desk, and then leave the room? Clearly, Vincent was also shocked to find out how he got it and he probably never meant for it to happen.

Answer: Getting herpes from a public toilet seat is practically impossible. House made up the idea that's how one of them got it, and even Cuddy tries to correct him. Vincent thought the idea was plausible but Charlotte thought the idea was ridiculous. So House concluded that the husband cheated on his wife and got herpes from another woman and then gave it to his wife. Vincent was happy with the idea that he got it from a toilet seat because it "gave him an out", meaning an excuse to use instead of admitting the truth that he cheated.

Mistakes

Maternity - S1-E4

Factual error: House's team listed the potential offending organisms of the infection as "MRSA, H. Flu, VRE, and pseudomonas." House then suggests Vancomycin and Aztreonam. Vancomycin only covers gram (+) organisms and Aztreonam only covers gram (-) organisms. VRE is a gram (+) organism, thus it would not be covered by Aztreonam. VRE stands for vancomycin resistant enterococcus, thus it would not be covered by Vancomycin either. House's team therefore failed to cover for an offending organism that could have caused the infection during their initial differential. (00:09:10)

Trivia

Trivia: Hugh Laurie auditioned for the role as Dr. Gregory House in his hotel room bathroom in Namibia. He was rehearsing his role for the film The Flight of the Phoenix and claimed that the bathroom was the only place with enough light. He also apologized for his appearance on tape before the audition as he'd just come back from filming. The fact that House has a somewhat scruffy and unkempt look, particularly his constant five o'clock shadow, has been attributed by creator David Shore to Laurie's appearance in this audition tape.
