: After the date, which ends with mutual uncertainty, House is seen alone in his office wistfully gazing at a worn photograph. While the picture isn't shown, it is widely believed to be of Stacy Warner , the woman who "got away" and broke his heart five years prior.

: House argues that Cameron doesn't love him, but rather "needs" him because she has a compulsion to "fix" damaged things, much like her dying first husband.
