House is serving out a lengthy prison sentence for his various misdeeds, including his trip outside the country in an attempt to escape responsibility.

Feeling he will never be able to practice medicine again, he plans instead to go back to university to earn a doctorate in physics - a field that will all but assure his isolation from other human beings.
