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.House didn't want Cuddy to rehire Foreman, and they get into a power struggle. To waste Cuddy's time, House tells the people in the cafeteria that the food was poisoned, and they should all go to the clinic. Then he orders unnecessary expensive tests for the uninsured clinic patients. In retaliation, Cuddy replaces House's vicodin with laxatives. House responds, "I know when my Vicodin isn't Vicodin. Do you know when your birth control pills aren't birth control pills?"
House realizes that no one is going to back down. (His exact quotation is "No one's going to be happy here... and Cuddy's going to end up pregnant.") So House tells Foreman he got him another job somewhere else. At first Foreman claimed that he was miserable working with House again. But when the patient was mirroring Foreman, he said that he liked being here. Foreman decided he did like being here, and he says he doesn't want House to get him a job somewhere else.
Foreman suggests that House and Cuddy both talk to the patient at once, to see which one the patient would mirror, to see which one is dominant. The patient tells them both to shut up and says that Cuddy has "great ya-boos" (breasts). House takes this as confirmation that the patient is mirroring him (although Cuddy initially tries to claim that's something she might have said as she has always considered her breasts to be one of her best features). When Foreman sees that the patient thinks House is dominant over Cuddy, he considers taking that other job, although Wilson suggests that House was lying when he said he got Foreman another job.
