What They Know
- Specialist in interventional radiology — highly skilled diagnostician who lost the fellowship not for lack of talent but because House couldn't control her
- House's intellectual mirror — equally manipulative, equally brilliant, but driven by competitive ambition rather than puzzle addiction
- Died from amantadine poisoning after a bus crash destroyed her kidneys — the flu medication she was taking became lethal without renal filtration
- Appeared as House's hallucination after her death, representing his subconscious — eventually became malevolent, nearly causing him to kill Chase
- Told House on a bus surrounded by white light: 'You can't always get what you want' — the show's defining line about accepting loss
