Calls House on the direct line to his apartment, and explains the situation.

"House is going to be by in a minute. He'll probably want to speak to you alone... that's just his way. If you need to talk afterwards, to a doctor, or to a friend, I have voicemail - use it.

And what should I call you? Do you have any nicknames or... I don't even think I know your last name."
