Jackson, a boy born with genetic mosiacism, collapses during a basketball game. His parents don't want the doctor to tell their son that Jackson has both male and female genes, even if that is the source of his illness. Meanwhile, Thirteen and Foreman try to hide their relationship so House won't fire them, and House is in a surprisingly good mood.

Episode Quotes
 
Dr. Cuddy: The parents haven't told their son that he could have been their daughter. They want assurance that we won't either.
Dr. House: Less fun, but still.
 
Dr. House: Our new patient. Part girl. Part boy. All Thirteen's dream date.
 
Dr. Taub: Here's my impression of Foreman on the happiest day of his life. (stares blankly) Now the saddest day of his life. (stares blankly)
 
Dr. Kutner: House decided to humor these parents.
Dr. Wilson: Maybe he had a great cup of coffee, or a tremendous bowel movement.
 
Dr. Kutner: Assuming a coincidence like that would usually torture you but you're completely unfazed.
Dr. House: Completely unfazed? You think I'm totally lacking in any fazing? The idea that I'm anything less than half-fazed I actually find offensive. It greatly fazes me.
 
Dr. Wilson: He's in a good mood.
Dr. Cuddy: Sex with me would explain that. But it doesn't explain why I'm not curled up in a ball weeping in shame. I did not have sex with House.
 
Dr. House: I think my penis stopped breathing. Do you know CPR?
Dr. Cuddy: Looks like your brain is okay.
 
Melanie: He won't let us in the room.
Dr. Cuddy: He's a teenager. You're his mother. This is not the time to start listening to him.
