Oddities of his case land him under House and the team’s care, but at the moment, House is irritated to learn that new hospital researcher Dr. Julie Whitmer (guest star Wendy Makkena) has been assigned his handicapped parking spot by the hospital entrance. Since she’s in a motorized wheelchair (and he has to walk), he asks her to give up the parking spot, but she refuses. House, determined to get a parking spot closer to the hospital entrance, appeals to Cuddy, who dares him to prove how much he wants the spot by spending one week in a wheelchair...a bet House takes on. As the team tries to get personal history information from Stevie, they can’t seem to get a straight answer out of him, and it’s revealed he’s from a family of gypsies. Stevie’s parents, Franklin (guest star Rob Brownstein) and Judy (guest star Arabella Field), arrive with homeopathic remedies; they won’t consent to House and the team’s suggested course of action, and refuse all modern medical treatment.
