In exchange for her getting him off the hook with Detective Tritter, Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein) forces House (Hugh Laurie) to take full-time clinic duty, resulting in some truly childish behavior from both of them. The main plot involves rape victim Eve (Katheryn Winnick), who bypasses psychiatric counseling in order to tell all her problems to House--who, in a pivotal moment, opens up to Eve in a way that he has never opened up to anyone else before. Meanwhile, a homeless patient (Geoffrey Lewis) suffering from terminal lung cancer insists upon playing mind games with Cameron (Jennifer Morrison), ultimately forcing her to confront her own past. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

At Christmastime, Monk (Tony Shalhoub) is reunited with his long-lost father Jack (Dan Hedaya), an itinerant truck driver--and as if this wasn't enough of a jolt to his senses, our hero discovers that he has a half-brother named Junior. In the spirit of bonding, Monk accompanies Jack, who has been hired to deliver free toys on behalf of his otherwise Scrooge-like boss, on a road trip throughout the American Southwest. It soon develops that Jack is palming off some very shoddy merchandise to a lot of extremely disappointed youngsters--and a subsequent murder proves beyond doubt that there are even more unsavory aspects to his current assignment. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
