"Needle in a Haystack" is the thirteenth episode of the third season of House and the fifty-ninth episode overall.
House arrives at the hospital to discover a wheelchair-accessible van in his usual parking space. He seeks out the van's owner, who turns out to be the hospital's new researcher, Julie Whitner, who is paralyzed from the waist down. She and House exchange some snarky banter, following which House begins using a wheelchair himself (with a bumper sticker on the back which says "I'd rather be walking") in a bet with Cuddy to get his parking space back. Near the end of the episode, House approaches Cuddy and asks about the bet, and she reveals she was not going to give House the parking space. Hoping to make her feel guilty about lying to him, he says to her, "Don't make commitments you can't keep." Cuddy feels guilty about misleading House, but in truth, House planned on making Cuddy feel guilty to get his parking space back.
