"Knight Fall" is the eighteenth episode of the sixth season of the American medical drama House and it is the 128th episode overall. It aired on April 19, 2010 and was directed by Juan J. Campanella.
A knight in shining armor, William, becomes House's next patient. Foreman and Thirteen go to the Renaissance Fair to investigate.
Meanwhile, Wilson's new girlfriend is his first ex-wife. House confronts him and tries to ruin their relationship to protect him from being hurt again.
At a medieval reenactment community, the queen picks one of the men, William, to fight for her honor. After a brief fight with the Black Knight, the man collapses, the whites of his eyes are shown filling with blood. The man playing the King, Miles, takes out a cell phone and calls for an ambulance.
At Wilson's condo, House is shown taking ibuprofen while in the nude when a woman named Sam shows up and is surprised to find House naked in the kitchen. The team is shown considering cases when they see House coming in with a sword. House describes the bloody eyes and sends Taub and Chase to test for concussions while Foreman and Thirteen go to the fairground to take samples.
First, House stops off to ask Wilson about his new date and realizes that Sam is Wilson's first wife, the "soulless harpy" he never met. Wilson insists he does not want House to interfere. While in the MRI machine William complains of nausea and starts vomiting. While Foreman and Thirteen take environmental samples they notice a vomit-covered cow's eye in his tent. Miles explains that it's part of an eating ritual he makes the knights perform.
Back at the hospital, House dismisses their theory of food poisoning, noting no one else was sick. He tells them to run scratch tests for allergies and treat William with epinephrine in the meantime. William's heart seizes up and they discover red blisters on his chest, suggesting an allergy to epinephrine. House seeks Cuddy to talk about Wilson. Cuddy tells House not to get involved, although she admits that Wilson's first relationship with Sam ended very badly for both parties. She tells House that he might not like the answer should he make Wilson choose between himself and Sam.
Meanwhile, the patient, William, is experiencing worsening chest pain and tells Shannon to leave to get him a soda so that she does not have to know that he's in pain. Thirteen, seeing this, confronts William about his feelings for Shannon. At first, he denies that they are anything more than friends, but eventually William admits that he's in love with Shannon but out of respect for his honor code as a knight he does not want to break up her relationship with her fiancé, Miles.
