Dr. Chris Taub never planned on joining an elite team of diagnosticians. He was happy as a plastic surgeon, performing superficial cosmetic upgrades and living well among the rich and privileged. But when his affair with a partner's daughter was discovered, Taub was given a choice by the practice: if he resigned and signed a non-compete agreement, they wouldn't tell his wife, Rachel.
Taub chose to preserve his relationship with Rachel and was soon in a crazy competition for a spot on Dr. Gregory House's team. The extended job interview and his eventual position on the team rekindled a love of medicine and a desire to make a real difference in his patients' lives.
Guilt drove Taub to confess to his wife, and though they reconciled, it's clear he's still not sure what he really wants. And now House, convinced Taub is cheating again, is dogging his every move and looking for cracks in his marriage.
