What Season 2 of House

House opens Season 2 with his feelings for Stacy Warner, his ex-girlfriend, still very much present. After he diagnoses her husband with acute intermittent porphyria, she accepts a job in the hospital's legal department, so they run into each other every day. Meanwhile, the diagnostic team keeps receiving impossible cases. House solves them his own way, bends the rules and clashes with his colleagues and with Cuddy. Wilson, his only real friend, stays close. The premise doesn't change: everyone is hiding something, and House once again searches for the truth in his patients' lies.
