The lecture tells us even more about House.

House has no intention of doing so, but even when he blows her off by implying he would prefer her husband die rather than treat him, it's clear his heart isn't in it. She knows how much she means to him and hopes that in her time of need he will help her. House actually looks vulnerable and we realize later that the reason he isn't putting up his usual defensive is that Stacy would see right through it. Instead, the wisecracks instantly disappear. When a beautiful, intelligent, kind woman shows up and greets him with 'Greg' instead of 'House', we expect House to treat her just like he treated the overly familiar Marty Hamilton earlier in the season. We are left to wonder what kind of woman could possibly be 'House's former girlfriend'. Although mentioned earlier in the series, House has insisted he is over her. However, all this goes out the window when Stacy Warner shows up. Even Cameron has determined he is incapable of love, empathy or affection. Although there are clues to the contrary throughout Season 1, it would be easy to convince oneself that House is indeed past the point where he wants or needs any human connection whatsoever. Even on his best behavior on a date with Cameron, he breaks the news that he thinks she only likes him because of how damaged he is. Up until this episode, House finds it easy to wisecrack with Cuddy, Wilson, patients, family and fellows alike. In addition to being one of the best episodes of House, it is a critical episode in the development of House's character and his backstory. After refusing, he heads to the lecture where one of the cases he presents starts to look very familiar. On the way to the lecture, he finds his ex-girlfriend coming to see him to ask him to treat her husband. Cuddy wants House to deliver a lecture to the medical students on diagnostics, and House finally agrees when she lets him off of clinic duty for a couple of hours.
