Control:
This episode introduces Vogler, who will become the Moriarty figure of this season.
This episode also shows that House will risk his medical license and just about everything about his life, for a single patient. Because he feels it's right.
Holmes will do this too: he'll burgle a house or perform various other illegal feats, not to mention risking his life, in order to protect the honor and life of his clients. Because he feels it's right.
"You value our friendship more than you value your ethical responsibilities," House tells Wilson in this episode.
And so Watson will risk ethical responsibilities for his friendship with Holmes. Take, for example, in CHAS, when Watson cheerfully accompanies Holmes in a spot of highly illegal housebreaking.
I like the confrontation between House and Vogler at the end: reminds me very much of Moriarty and Holmes in FINA. The way they're both threatening without actually concretely confronting each other and both are very secure in the power they believe they hold over one another.
