Final Episode Appearance
Cuddy is more than happy to oblige, but it soon turns out this will not be a picnic. Cuddy scrambles to save House and Vogler finally agrees to give him a chance - fire one of his fellows to save money. Cameron suggests to House that instead they propose an across- the-board salary cut that will save exactly the same amount of money. When House proposes this, Vogler rejects the suggestion outright, and Cuddy soon realizes that Vogler isn't trying to save money, he's trying to get House in line. House tries to mollify Vogler by offering up Robert Chase, but unbeknownst to anyone, Chase is Vogler's only "rat" in House's department as Cameron and Foreman turn him down flat.
