The entire narrative of the episode takes place through a series of flashbacks within flashbacks. House sits outside the principal's office at Brye Park Elementary School with two fifth-grade students, Zack and Colleen. Hours ago, House was participating in the school's Career Day as a favour to get Rachel into Brye Park. He does so in order to show Cuddy that he cares for her. However, he lied about his name and claimed that he is Dr. Lawrence Hourani. While narrating his story to the class, House references scenes of old movies. Right after the credits, there is a remake of the prelude to "Vincent Vega and Marsellus Wallace's Wife" portion of the film Pulp Fiction, with Foreman and House in the roles of Vincent Vega and Jules Winnfield, respectively. A reference to A Few Good Men can also be seen when House tells one of the kids that he "can't handle the truth". A quote from the movie Ghostbusters is also used when House talks about Cuddy not being his girlfriend. The elevator scene from The Thomas Crown Affair (the original with Steve McQueen) is also referenced, as well as Thunderbolt and Lightfoot, when House tries to convince the kids he blew out the door of Cuddy's office to retrieve her laptop.
