Foreteen

Foreteen is the het ship between Eric Foreman and Remy "Thirteen" Hadley from the House fandom.

Season 4
WHATEVER IT TAKES

After trying to make things work at New York Mercy Hospital when he quit House's practice, Foreman returns when he can't find any jobs because House's reputation has been following him. Cuddy places him as supervisor over House's current game of attempting to find a new batch of fellows from a lecture hall of potential candidates because Thirteen previously killed a patient under the stress of House's game. House is mysteriously called out by a man who turns out to be working with the CIA for a consult on a top-secret case, leaving Foreman in charge as him and the remaining candidates get a new patient. The fellows are not taking Foreman's authority seriously, as they assume that he's operating as House's eyes and ears while he's gone. The group still view the patient's care as a game that they can win by saying the right thing, which frustrates Foreman, who is genuinely concerned about helping the patient. After Taub and Amber go rogue and give the patient treatment without Foreman's knowledge, the patient is paralyzed. In the office during differential, Foreman refuses to acknowledge the paralysis as a new symptom because he believes that Amber and Taub caused it when mixing two opposing medications. He begins ranting to them about the dangers of their actions when Thirteen interrupts him to say that she would rather talk about the differential than hear Foreman keep yelling at Taub and Amber. Foreman snaps at her that none of them actually care about the patient and are being programmed by House to believe that their jobs are games and puzzles rather than serious responsibilities with patients' lives.

DON'T EVER CHANGE

House is intrigued by his newest patient, a Hasidic Jewish woman that collapsed unexpectedly at her wedding. She is a convert to Hasidism, which House's mind sees as sudden change consistent as a symptom of porphyria. His porphyria idea is inevitably shut down as new symptoms arise. House orders Foreman and Thirteen to run both an MRI and an FMRI to check for blood clots that could cause a stroke. In the aside room while the test is being done, Foreman and Thirteen have a conversation about the patient.

Foreman questions how the woman, who previously was a drug addict music producer, could change so drastically to converting to one of the strictest sects of Judaism. Thirteen explains that she thinks that society is too quick to oversimplify people into a set of characteristics that can be neatly organized into a set of boxes. She specifically mentions that things are too often a dichotomy in other's minds, when things can be more of a spectrum or unsorted entirely. Foreman smirks and notes that Thirteen's comments make it sound like she's been oversimplified for something in the past. He then presses on the button of the microphone used to communicate with the patient to tell her to move slightly for the scan. After he talks to the patient, Thirteen nervously clarifies that no one can accurately describe themselves in a certain amount of words, so she doesn't understand why anyone would want to have someone else do the same to them from the outside. Foreman ponders the insight, noting that it may be better for some to keep themselves a mystery, since there can be no categories to build if no one knows about one's history at all, a tease to the fact that Thirteen has remained the most mysterious and shut-off of the winning new fellows. She tells him that she thinks he's oversimplifying her now. He presses the microphone button again to talk to the patient, but while he holds it down, he tells Thirteen that he knows she's secretly bisexual, which is why he hypothesizes that she's been keeping her life a mystery to everyone else. Thirteen is shocked at his read of her, and stares in surprise without saying anything. Foreman says that a denial would have been more effective to cover her tracks than her silent stare, then finally tells the patient to move again. He lets his finger off the microphone button again, both of them unaware that the patient has now heard that Thirteen is bisexual. Foreman continues, saying that he knew because people who dislike societal boxes usually don't fit into any. She still doesn't deny it, only telling Foreman that she can tell he's been working for House for a long time. She is about to say something when Foreman clarifies that her sexuality doesn't make a difference to him. House then walks in to check on them, and they drop the subject.

NO MORE MR. NICE GUY

Nurses in New Jersey are on strike, leaving Princeton-Plainsboro without nurses for a few days. House finds his new patient in the pandemonium, as well as having to take on the burden of paperwork that is usually done by nurses. The main paperwork Cuddy demands of him is performance reviews of each of his fellows. Since House is uninterested in the work and noticeably terrible at giving constructive feedback, Foreman takes the work off of him and offers to give Taub, Thirteen and Kutner their reviews. House, while amused at Foreman wanting to do the work, is more than happy to give up the duty. That night, Foreman calls Thirteen into House's office to give her his feedback. He starts on the review, and she dodges it by leaving to run another test on the patient. The next day, in the differential, each fellow has a different idea of what could be causing the patient's new symptom. House asks them to vote for which option is better. Obviously, each fellow votes for their own idea, leaving Foreman to be the tiebreaker. He votes for Thirteen's idea.

Season 5
LUCKY THIRTEEN

Reeling from her recent Huntington's Disease diagnosis, Thirteen begins engaging in risky behaviors like drugs, alcohol and casual sex. She hooks up with a woman one night, and after they are done her hookup begins seizing. Thirteen takes her to Princeton-Plainsboro, and she becomes House's newest patient when House is interested that she was Thirteen's fling. In the initial differential, the fellows take turns grilling Thirteen about diagnostically relevant information about the case. House makes fun of her for her reaction to her diagnosis. She says that the patient's seizure was likely caused from dehydration from a mix of alcohol and drugs ingested. Foreman asks Thirteen if she was doing drugs that night as well. Thirteen deflects, claiming her answer is not diagnostically relevant.

After the patient crashes, House proposes that the patient is a frequent drug user, which could explain her symptoms. Thirteen is frustrated at that, and Foreman asks her what's wrong. She explains that she knows that House's train of thought now entails him having to search her apartment for any potential drugs the patient could have left there, and that she doesn't want him there. House confirms and says he'll search the home, but Foreman volunteers to follow him just so that he doesn't do anything to Thirteen's home. At the home, Foreman keeps his search strictly professional while House explores for more sexually-charged items in the bedroom. While snooping, he finds an inhaler in Thirteen's drawer. Foreman tells House that he should try having conversations with his fellows instead of just stealing from them and breaking into their homes. He claims that "conversations go both ways," and then him and House laugh at the joke of Thirteen also "going both ways."

House and Thirteen believe the patient could have calcification in her kidneys, and they put the patient under exploratory surgery to confirm. As the patient is being operated on, Thirteen watches from above in the observation deck. Foreman walks in and joins her in watching the surgery. He notes that he saw that she was nervous in the previous differential about the possibility of what House could have found while snooping around her apartment. Foreman confirms that he found whatever she was anxious about and produces a folded paper. She takes it from him and stuffs it in her coat pocket. The paper contains her newest Huntington's test, which he explains reveals that her disease is progressing rapidly, explaining why she was engaging in self-destructive behaviors. She thinks that he's judging her for her actions, but he tells her that he thinks she should be taking action to slow the Huntington's progression, like drugs and physical therapies. She tells him sarcastically that those things sound like a blast, telling him that she's really having fun doing what she's currently doing, claiming that she's only cramming as much life in as she can before the disease worsens. Foreman is concerned for her, but she shrugs him off and leaves the observation room, wishing him a good night.

The next morning, House and the fellows run a differential after the patient crashes after the surgery. Notably, Thirteen is absent and House mentions it. Foreman stands up for her and tells House that she's probably just late because the traffic is bad. House doesn't care. It is revealed that Thirteen was in an exam room, trying to give herself IV fluids after another night of drugs and partying. Cuddy finds her and intends to make her take a drug test, but House saves Thirteen from it by instead firing her for her recent slacking and reckless behavior.

Foreman finds Thirteen looking at the patient's lung scans in the lightbox room, and tells her that he heard about her firing. She tells him that she's there to look for a way to be rehired. Foreman apologizes to her for invading her privacy by finding the Huntington's test, but she tells him that she didn't mind. She asks if he can fill her in on what the team discussed while she was gone in an attempt to find something House may have missed as her ticket back onto the team. Foreman obliges and catches her up, but ends it by saying that he still thinks she's being foolish with the way she's handling her disease's progression. She tells her that she knows, before finding that the patient has lung cysts, something the team missed, and running to tell them. Foreman follows her as they find that the team accidentally punctured one of the cysts and Thirteen saves her. Foreman congratulates her on the save. When catching House up after the fact, Foreman vouches that Thirteen was able to both find what was wrong and save the patient when Taub and Kutner couldn't. House isn't impressed and doesn't rehire her. Foreman asks House to give her another chance, but House thinks that she doesn't deserve it for missing the morning differential. Taub then joins in on Thirteen's side, but nothing works. House orders the team to do a biopsy and Foreman leaves with them, but not without first apologizing to Thirteen.

After House sends her on errands to spend time with the patient, as well as tell her that she's dying, House gives Thirteen her job back. As they talk about it, House notices that Thirteen's lips are cracked. This leads to him finding the correct diagnosis for the patient, which ends up not being a death sentence. That night, in the locker room, Foreman walks in to find Thirteen getting ready to leave. He tells her that he heard about her rehiring. She doesn't acknowledge him or say something in return. He tells her that he's going to stand there until she does. She finally tells him that she feels completely alone because of her Huntington's progression, and that she made a real connection with the patient because she didn't push her away. Foreman understands, and then Thirteen leaves, saying she wants to go home because she's tired.

JOY

House's new patient is a man who experiences blackouts in his memory. When Thirteen is examining his daughter, she notices that she has a flat affect. After the exam, Foreman catches up with her at the nurse's desk. As they talk about how Thirteen is unnerved by the daughter, they notice the patient dressed and trying to get into the elevator. They chase him down and ask why he's leaving. He appears to be in a strange mental state as they work to get him back to his room for more tests. They find that he is sleepwalking, presenting a new symptom.

LAST RESORT

Thirteen is busy in the Clinic when Foreman asks if she has a minute to talk. She says that she doesn't and asks the nurse for more patient files. Foreman pushes, saying that he's been consulting for a few different clinical drug trials. Thirteen is still not interested, until he tells her that one of them is for a new Huntington's drug. She freezes up to listen as he says that the drug is showing results in trials and that he could get her in as a patient. She hesitates, before declining and moving on. He follows her, asking if she's been doing anything herself to look for programs to join or drugs to try. She says that she hasn't, and that she isn't interested in a consult from him about it, either.

One of the many patients in the Clinic that day happens to have a gun, and he holds up the hospital by capturing House, Thirteen and a few other waiting patients in Cuddy's office. He holds House at gunpoint and asks for a diagnosis, since no other doctors have been able to find what is wrong with him. The patient is extremely untrustworthy and volatile, and ends up giving all of the drugs House recommends him to Thirteen first to test that House isn't poisoning him. At the end of the hold-up, the mix of drugs have shut down Thirteen's kidneys and she is dying. The police are finally able to arrest the patient after House gives a correct diagnosis and Thirteen is able to be saved. In a hospital bed on dialysis after the incident, Thirteen wakes up to see Foreman watching over her. He tells her that she'll be back to normal after a week of dialysis. He apologizes for backing out of one of House's differentials during the hold-up, not knowing at the time that Thirteen was almost dead. She only asks if she can take him back up on his offer about the Huntington's drug trial. They smile at each other.

LET THEM EAT CAKE

House comes into the office to give the fellows a new case when he notices that Foreman and Thirteen are missing. Taub tells him that it is the first day of Thirteen's clinical trial for the new Huntington's drug. Meanwhile, Foreman administers Thirteen's first tests for the trial. While she is being tested for fine motor skills, she asks Foreman if there are many others in the trial with her. He tells her that he's been overseeing the people who already started at New York Mercy, remarking that the trial is pretty full. Foreman stops the test and asks her to do it again, with no talking this time. She doesn't care, since she starts talking immediately when the test restarts. She claims that she's benefitting from nepotism, that she doesn't deserve to be in the trial because she knows Foreman, the person running the trial. He soothes her concerns by clarifying that she got a spot not just because she knows him, but because she has Huntington's, the only qualifier for the trial. He again stops the test and asks her to retake it without talking. She starts it again but talks, saying that she thinks the tests are useless on her because she hasn't shown enough symptoms and that he should give her spot to someone else instead. He finally tells her to shut up and just focus on the test. When it is done, he tells her that she doesn't need to worry about whether or not she "deserves" the spot, since he says that the test readings show that her nerves have already started degenerating.

House and the rest of the team are stuck in the middle of the case as Foreman and Thirteen are able to join and offer insight. While conducting a brainstorming session, Foreman's pager goes off. He tells Thirteen that they need to go to make it for the next testing period in the trial. She tells him that she'll finish the brainstorming then meet him there, but he reminds her that she was late on the first day, and he doesn't want it becoming a habit. She argues that she'll be fine and that she doesn't need his help to make it to the trial. Foreman begrudgingly walks off without her.

That night, Thirteen comes home to find that Foreman has broken into her apartment and has been waiting for her. He tells her that she never showed up to the trials. She tells him to get out of her house, but he tells her that he broke it to try to find proof that she was slipping back into old habits, which would make her ineligible to continue the trial. However, he shows that he found that she had done quite the opposite, and was following his instructions and medication regimens perfectly. He says that she's probably following the schedule better than any of his other patients, which is why he's confused as to why she's unable to make it to the testing sessions on time. She finally clarifies that she actually did come down when she was finished, but he never saw her because he was busy with another patient. She opens up to him, telling him that she doesn't show up on time because seeing the other patients in the trial in the waiting room is triggering to her, reminding her of her own future. He gets up and grabs his coat, leaving. He tells her at first that it's understandable, but then tells her that she needs to get over it and show up on time the next day, or he'll take her off the trial.

The next day, the team conducts a differential in the stairwell. Foreman and Thirteen are sitting on the same step, and House stops the discussion to point out that it seems as though Thirteen is leaning away from Foreman. She claims that she isn't, and he mocks her with the idea that the trial may not be working for her. She doesn't say anything, and Foreman picks it up by saying that everything is fine before tossing another idea into the differential. House says that they're deflecting.

Thirteen makes it to the testing on time, and Foreman walks out to the lobby to see her. She is clearly unnerved and upset as she watches a particular other patient in the study, a woman that makes Thirteen keep having flashbacks of seeing her mother. She tells Foreman that she'll keep coming if he'll change her testing time. He tells her that he can't because the schedule is full, and tells her that she might as well make friends with the patient she keeps staring at as he walks off. Thirteen swallows her fear and does it, talking to her and helping her with her jacket that she's struggling with.

After the testing for the day is completed, Thirteen comes into Foreman's makeshift office for the trial as he is getting ready to leave. She tells him that she lied to him the other night, that the woman in the waiting room triggered her not because she made her confront her own future, but because she makes her have flashbacks about seeing her mother in the disease's advanced stages. He apologizes, telling her that he can't imagine how hard seeing that must have been for her. She recounts to him the way she used to wish her mother would die because she couldn't understand the symptoms of the disease at the time. She says, trying not to cry, that she hated her mom for that, and that she was never able to say goodbye to her. All Foreman can do is come up to her and hug her as she cries.

JOY TO THE WORLD

Cuddy comes in to the differential office to bring House and the team the new case. House is confused as to why Foreman isn't doing it instead. Thirteen tells House that Foreman is taking time off to finish his trial reports before the end of the year. House is snarky to Thirteen, asking when she's taking time off. She ignores him.

Later, Foreman administers Thirteen's tests for the on-going Huntington's trial. Thirteen asks about the woman with the advanced symptoms she befriended in the last episode. Foreman tells her that she dropped out, and Thirteen is concerned. She asks why, but Foreman says that the woman didn't give a reason. He adds that he only breaks into the houses of "very special patients" to check on their trial progress, alluding to when he broke into Thirteen's house episodes earlier to check if she had been slacking on her treatment. She smiles at him as he finishes the test and marks the results. When she asks, he tells her that her progress is promising. She thanks him and walks out as he calls out that she forgot her clipboard. She tells him to keep it and keeps going. On it, she left a day spa gift certificate and a note reading "Thanks for helping me out. XO"

The next day, Thirteen is able to find the woman from the trial in the hospital and she sits to talk to her. She asks why she left the trial, and the woman explains that she left because she thought Foreman was dismissing her symptoms. Thirteen says that Foreman is a great neurologist and great person, and the woman laughs at her for liking him. She says that she told Foreman that the drugs were making her nauseous but he only gave her an antacid. Thirteen defends him, saying that his solution was the only thing he could do for her. The woman continues that she was really upset because he told her to just "get over it." She left because she was aware that she has a limited time left since her symptoms are so advanced, and that she doesn't want to spend that time being his patient. Thirteen is shocked at the story.

Later that day, Thirteen comes in for testing. Foreman thanks her for the gift she left him. She then confronts him about the story the woman told her. Foreman confirms that he acted as the woman described, very nonchalantly. Thirteen tells him that it was inappropriate for him to tell her to get over her symptoms, and asks him to call her to apologize, assuring that once he does that she will return for the trial. Foreman refuses. Thirteen is frustrated by this and claims that he's acting like House, a sore spot of insecurity for Foreman. He argues that he's not acting like House and that he's only doing what he should be in the situation. Thirteen reminds him that he told her the exact same thing when he broke into her house and she told him that she was mentally struggling with the trial. He tells her that it obviously worked. She tells him that the woman is 40 and on the fast decline due to the disease and she needs support. He doesn't understand why, claiming that his job on the trial is just to administer treatment, not connect with patients. Thirteen emphasizes then that Foreman is worse than acting like House: he is becoming him, before leaving.

The next morning, while Foreman is looking over papers, the doctor co-running the study with Foreman comes in to give him more files. He asks for advice about the woman who dropped out. The doctor tells him that he shouldn't be viewing his patients as people at all, because she claims that any personal stake will skew the double-blind study they're conducting. She adds that the reason she chose him to help her was because she knew he worked for House, so she assumed he would be good at not viewing patients as real people. After this infuriating encounter, Foreman goes to the woman from the trial to ask about her participating in a different trial running tandem with the original. He assures that the dose would be less and her nausea she was concerned about would lessen as a result. He leaves the papers with her before leaving.

That night, Foreman calls Thirteen in. The hospital is pretty bare, as a Christmas party is going on in the lobby. Thirteen tells Foreman that she heard that the woman is back on the trial, and Foreman tells her that it was his Christmas gift to her. They smile at each other. Thirteen tells him that she was wrong about him, that he's not like House after all. She steps closer to him, telling him that they should go down to the party. He agrees, but not before the two make out.

PAINLESS

House is intrigued by his newest patient, who was originally taken in for a suicide attempt due to chronic unexplainable pain. House tells Thirteen to search the home, and Foreman volunteers to join her. At the home, the two talk briefly about suicide. Thirteen says that she would never die the way the patient tried to, suffocating himself in his car's carbon monoxide in the garage. Foreman looks at her quizzically, and she assures him that she doesn't have any plans. He tells her that he should hope she doesn't, since he claims that she's been avoiding him since they kissed. She disagrees, saying that she's just been busy. After talking more about potential risks in the patient's garage, Foreman offers that the two go to dinner that night. Thirteen seems hesitant before saying that she can't. He questions why making out is okay with her but dinner isn't. She tells him that she doesn't want to kiss again, either. He asks if it's because they work together, and she says that it's just because she likes him a lot, and gets worried that them dating is a bad idea because of her Huntington's. He tells her that they already talked about this topic, that Thirteen shouldn't give up living life because of a difficult future with her disease. She interrupts him to say that she's not giving up on life, just giving up on him. She says that she feels like she's at a place where she can balance things mentally, and she doesn't want to "drag" Foreman down with her. Back at the office, House leaves early because he's having worse chronic pain than usual. He calls back hours later to participate in the differential, and says that Thirteen and Foreman are "singing in the rain." When he hangs up, Taub asks the two why House would say that. They don't have an answer and Thirteen leaves quickly to run the next test.

At trial testing, Foreman notes that Thirteen is being weird about him touching her to check for muscle rigidity. She reminds him that her discomfort has nothing to do with him as a person. He knows, which is why he's confused. He tells her that she can't just shut everyone out and that she needs help. Thirteen brings up their patient, that his attempt has now traumatized his wife and child, and they're getting more traumatized staying in the hospital with him. Foreman argues that they're cherishing every minute with him now because they know that he's suffering. She agrees, but adds that they're also suffering and hating that he's in the hospital instead of back home. As they talk, Taub and Kutner come in. They ask if it's a bad time to ask for consult on the patient, and Foreman says yes while Thirteen says no. Kutner gives them the scans to look at anyway and they discuss the newest break in the case. Foreman tells them what to do and Thirteen offers to help Taub and Kutner as they leave. Foreman watches her go.

The next differential is held at Cuddy's home while she looks after her baby because she wants to inconvenience House for constantly inconveniencing her. They discuss the case and Thirteen offers that the patient was suffering from non-motor seizures. House follows that train of thought until Foreman offers a glycogen storage disease that could connect to Thirteen's idea of seizures. House thinks about it before saying that "Foreteen" is correct, and sends the team off to run the needed tests.

When they return to the hospital, Thirteen runs into the woman she had befriended from her trial. The woman is doing noticeably better and has regained some motor function. Thirteen is overjoyed for her and they talk about how good the woman feels. She thanks Thirteen for getting her back on the trial. Thirteen says that she hadn't seen her in weeks and didn't know their appointments were so close again. The woman says that they weren't, and just this appointment was moved for some reason. Thirteen believes that this must be Foreman's doing to encourage her about her treatment progress. When she finds him that evening, she confronts him about it. She claims that he did it just to try to sleep with her. He denies this, explaining that he doesn't have control of the patient schedule, and that he hadn't heard about the woman's improvement until Thirteen mentioned it. He thanks her for the news and walks off.

The next day, after the patient has been diagnosed, Foreman visits Thirteen as she is receiving her treatment for the trial. He mentions that she's there earlier than usual. She smiles and tells him that she's been feeling better. He adjusts her IV bag and says that it's leaking a little and goes to get a new one for her. She stops him to ask if he's free that night for dinner. He grins and says that he's free before going to the nurse's desk. He tells the nurse to change the bag and the nurse mentions that the medication smells and she hates when it gets on her. He claims that he didn't smell anything when adjusting Thirteen's bag. The nurse tells him that she must be receiving the placebo.

BIG BABY

House gets a new patient, a special-ed teacher, and brings it to the team. He paces around the room as Foreman and Thirteen toss ideas back and forth. He then interrupts them, telling them to stop disagreeing. They are confused, and House claims that their disagreeing is some kind of smoke screen for something else going on between them. He claims that Thirteen is proposing worse ideas than Foreman to give the illusion that the two are not sleeping together. Kutner asks if it's true, and Thirteen deflects. Foreman tells him to drop the conversation and quickly confirms that the two are dating, but saying that any other questions into their dating life is irrelevant to the work environment.

Foreman and Chase have lunch together at the dining hall. Chase is talking about Cameron's new role as Dean of Medicine because Cuddy is on leave, and Foreman is voicing his worries about now knowing that Thirteen is on the placebo Huntington's treatment. Chase at first thinks that Foreman just believes that Thirteen is on the placebo, but Foreman confirms that he accidentally found out from the nurse he talked to. Chase tells him that he cannot tell Thirteen under any circumstances because it'll ruin the trial. Foreman tells him that he doesn't plan on telling her, rather that he wants to purposefully switch out Thirteen's placebo for the real drug. Chase rightfully believes that the idea is terrible and isn't going to tell Foreman that he should go along with it. Foreman tries to defend himself by saying that the trial is already compromised by him knowing that she's on the placebo at all, but Chase says that that fact doesn't make his idea any less bad. Chase tells Foreman not to be an idiot.

Later, Foreman and Thirteen are in the lab running blood tests. Thirteen drops something unexpectedly and Foreman picks it up and hands it back to her. He asks if she's okay. She tells him not to be paranoid that it's her Huntington's, because she says that she didn't expect the trial medication to work so quickly on her. Foreman anxiously tells her not to get ahead of herself because it's possible she's not even on the real drug. She tells him that other patients have shown improvement and that she's been having more energy recently after starting treatment. Foreman reminds her of the placebo effect. She ignores this and tells him that she realizes she does have some external reasons to feel happy, as she places her hand on his. She tells him not to get ahead of himself, saying that he's good, but "not curing Huntington's good." The blood test is finished and they check on it.

After another differential, House sends Taub, Kutner and Thirteen off to run more tests. Foreman stays behind to ask House if they can talk about Thirteen. Foreman admits that she's on the Huntington's placebo, and House correctly assumes that Foreman is asking House if he should risk changing her medication to the real drug. He also correctly assumes that Foreman is asking him because everyone else he asked said that he shouldn't do it. House makes a couple jokes about Thirteen before getting serious and telling Foreman that he should be completely sure about what he's planning to do, because if his switch is found out, it could ruin and end his medical career. He asks if the potential 1-3 year delay of symptoms would be worth it, and Foreman tells him that he believes that it would be. Foreman believes that to be the end of the interaction and thanks House. As he is leaving, House cryptically tells him that love makes people do stupid things. Foreman doesn't respond and leaves.

House has Foreman and Thirteen visit the patient's classroom to look for potential toxins. The class is in session as they look around, and Foreman notices that Thirteen is distracted by the students playing. He asks if she's going to help him when she says that she wants children. He jokes that the kids she's looking at are already accounted for. She clarifies that she wants kids at some point in the future, and she thought he would want to know since they're dating. He tries to say that he thought she wouldn't be sure because of her Huntington's, and she interrupts him to say that she didn't think so either, but now her views are changing because of the trial's effects on her, and that she feels now that she has the option for children because of the drug.

In the end-of-episode montage, it is shown that Foreman indeed decides to take the risk and knowingly switch Thirteen's treatment to the real drug.

Video Game
Often-forgotten CD-ROM and DS game "House M.D." seems to be a slightly alternate canon, taking place somewhere in late Season 5 to early Season 6 of the show. There are 5 "episodes" to the game, all of which include Foreman and Thirteen, mostly working together. Since it takes place in the aforementioned show timing, the game also has mentions of their dating relationship.

GLOBETROTTING

Thirteen is in the lab as Foreman comes in to give her the patient's blood for testing. He then launches into a story about his childhood, where he wanted to be an astronaut. He tells her that he was interested until he saw the centrifuge tests they had to do on the potential astronauts and that he got nauseous just watching the footage. She tells him that they should stay focused on the patient, calling him "Pukey McGee" because of his story. They then run the patient's blood through the centrifuge. After the test, they cross off a potential diagnosis.

Later, the two search the sound stage where the patient was filming his show. The two play around with the foam props on the set for a bit before they look for possible toxins. As they look around, they find only that their patient had been lying about escapades he told his fans he had been going on. The patient's agent is sneaking around on the sound stage and she sees Foreman and Thirteen looking around. She claims that she'll call the police on them for trespassing, but they blackmail her out of it with the promise of telling her client's fans the truth about his show. The agent agrees and then tells Foreman and Thirteen more information on the patient needed to secure a diagnosis.

Wrong again on the diagnosis, Thirteen and Foreman examine scans of the patient's lungs after he stops being able to breathe. The two find that he has signs of some kind of pneumonia. They go to tell House. After House questions the patient more about his history, he sends Foreman and Thirteen to the patient's home to search for toxins that could have caused his pneumonia. At the home, Foreman mentions that he hopes he won't be chasing any middle-aged women there, referring to the patient's agent. Thirteen asks if he'll still chase her when she's a middle-aged woman. He tells her that she already knows the answer. They search the home and find that it's not well-kept, meaning that any number of things could have caused the patient's symptoms. They decide to call the patient's landscaper, who left a voicemail on the patient's phone complaining of a flu. Due to Foreman and Thirteen's snooping, they discover that the patient has tularemia from a dead rabbit in the yard.

BLUE MEANIE

House's patient is a chef that suddenly turned completely blue. Foreman and Thirteen test the patient's blood and find irregular levels that they report to House. The team conducts another differential. After searching around in her workplace and after the patient presents a new symptom, Foreman and Thirteen test her blood again. While testing, Thirteen asks Foreman if he would still love her if she turned blue. He asks if she really thinks he's so shallow to say no. She playfully presses on, asking that he's sure there would be no difference in their relationship. He assures her that there wouldn't as they take the results of the test back to House. Foreman and Thirteen then go back to the patient's workplace to find clues of potential foul play on part of her co-workers. They find a forged note and confront one of her co-workers about it that had handwriting similar to the forgery. Through this information, they are able to deduce that the patient was poisoned.

SKULL & BONES

House's patient is a college student that loses feelings in both of his arms after a hazing incident. During the differential, House has Foreman and Thirteen search the frat house, since he has a feeling that the patient may be doing drugs. Thirteen flashes the students so that they will be let into the frat house, and Foreman says that he can't believe she would do that. She jokes that they never would have been let in if Foreman flashed them instead. After looking around, they find that House's hunch is right, as they find wood glue that the patient could have been huffing. They also search the patient's dorm room while they're out, finding a locked box that they can't get into. Since they can't get into it, they take everything that could be a potential toxin, as well as the patient's laptop to look for clues. The team run a few tests at the hospital before House sends Foreman and Thirteen to talk to the patient's girlfriend for more information about the patient. They don't get much, but then snoop around her room to find more items that confirm the suspected truth: the patient is a drag queen.

CRASHED

House's patient is a young girl with a clotting problem that was hurt in a car crash. He yet again sends Foreman and Thirteen to look for clues in the patient's home. They find the girl's diary, which they read for clues on her physical and mental status. The diary is extremely depressing, as the patient is worried about her weight. Foreman asks Thirteen if her diary was ever like this when she was that age. Thirteen tells him that hers was more melodramatic than depressing. They then search the parents' room and find a photo of the patient with bruises all over her arms. They believe she may be being abused by her father. They also find several potential toxins, as well as an empty bottle of antidepressants they think belongs to the patient. They come back to the hospital and talk to House about it. After more differentials and more history from others around the patient, they discover that the girl has been stealing all sorts of pills from her mother to abuse.

UNDER THE BIG TOP

House's patient is a circus ringleader that gets bitten by a horse during a circus act. While getting a history, House notices that the patient's wife is jittery and nervous about something. He sends Foreman and Thirteen to the patient's office to check for anything relevant. Inside the circus, the two discuss the creepiness of clowns as they look around. They find that the patient is drinking and smoking his troubles away and they bring the evidence back to House.

Fanon
Fans of the series enjoyed the unique banter offered by Foreteen. Foreman and Thirteen work partially because they bring out the humanity and vulnerability in each other. Both characters individually are more quick-witted and guarded around their emotions, which is stripped away in their interactions with each other before, during and after their relationship. While not being in the top 10 most popular House fan fiction pairings on AO3, there are currently 33 Foreteen fan fictions on the website. Foreteen is the third most popular ship for Thirteen's AO3 character tag, and also the third most popular ship for Foreman's AO3 character tag.
