Massage Therapy:
Massage is the manipulation of superficial and deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue to enhance function, aid in the healing process, and promote relaxation and well-being.
A young woman (Erin Cahill) is home alone. She hears a noise, notices the front door was open and calls her husband who is a few blocks away. It turns out to be nothing but the wind, but when she runs into her husband downstairs, she begins projectile vomiting.
House (Hugh Laurie) is introduced to Kelly Benedict (Vinessa Shaw), the new fellow Chase (Jesse Spencer) hired. Not surprisingly House doesn't give her a warm reception. A few ideas are tossed around about the vomiting woman, one of which is lead poisoning.
House tells Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard) he and Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein) aren't spending the night together at her place and he isn't spending any time with Cuddy's daughter yet.
While working on Margaret, the vomiting woman, Chase assures Kelly not to worry about the cool reception she got from House and Foreman (Omar Epps). They notice multiple broken ribs, something she never told the doctors about.
At Margaret's house, Foreman denies having lasting feeling for the departed Thirteen (Olivia Wilde). They find a credit card receipt from a lunch Margaret never mentioned.
Margaret tells the docs the lunch was an honest mistake and the fractures are a decade old.
House is less than romantic the next time Cuddy leaves his place. As she leaves, an attractive blonde masseuse is arriving.
Doing research into her past histories, Kelly finds Margaret is using the social security number of a woman born in the 1940s. Cut to Margaret seizing with a heart attack and being worked on by the whole team.
Margaret wakes up to House asking who she is. She tells her current husband that five years she was married to an abusive man. She left him, but he found her, stalked her and poisoned her dog. She took a dead woman's identity to escape the man (named Carl). She tells them her real name is Jenny.
House grills Kelly for answers about Jenny's dueling stomach/heart issues. She doesn't come up with anything. House suggests perhaps the ex used the poison he killed the dog with on Jenny.
Foreman isn't convinced Kelly is talented enough to work with them. He thinks Chase wants to sleep with her.
Jenny's husband is upset she never told him about the abusive ex. He leaves her room.
Cuddy asks about the masseuse. House says she is a hooker he is used to get "happy endings" from. After going through 15 different massage therapists, this is the only one he likes. Cuddy says she won't see him any more unless he stops seeing the hooker/masseuse.
Chase learns from Kelly she was not, in fact, the lead editor for the paper at her medical school. She asks if he's regretting hiring her, but he says no. Chase gets a page. Jenny's current husband was just admitted to the ER.
House tells Wilson the hooker/masseuse issue will set a principle for the entire relationship. Wilson thinks he needs to make this sacrifice to save the relationship.
Jenny's husband (whose face has been beaten thoroughly) tells the docs he found a guy named Carl in Jenny's address book and went to see him. When Carl denied everything, the husband got upset and then got beaten up. Carl is not pressing charges, but Kelly thinks the husband should. Carl said he was just a guy Jenny used to work with.
