What happens in “Open and Shut”

House and the team take on the case of a woman Julia, who is in an open marriage and becomes ill during a date with her on-the-side boyfriend. As perplexing as the case is, Julia's happy and healthy, yet polyamorous relationship is equally baffling to the team. Meanwhile, House tests Wilson's relationship with Sam.
