<P> Although his meddling with her personal affairs and insatiable curiosity frustrates Thirteen, House comes to respect her as a talented doctor and the two build a relationship of mutual trust and understanding of each other's personalities (and, occasionally, shared cynicism and / or sarcasm). Wilson later states that House is better with her on his team, saying "He needs someone who doesn't need him . You're the only one he's never really been able to suck into his crazy House vortex . Keeps him grounded, his ego in check ." </P> <P> Both Thirteen and House are equally critical and understanding of each other's self - pity and fatalism in the face of miserable circumstances . Although she believes in the importance of hope, Thirteen says in "Changes" that she believes that people are intrinsically happy or miserable, and that this cannot be changed . House states that this is her defense mechanism, because if she can convince herself that she would have been miserable either way, she does not need to resent the fact that her life is full of misfortune rather than fortune . Thirteen retorts that House's life is similarly miserable and that "lotteries are stupid". </P> <P> Thirteen has a 50 / 50 chance of having inherited Huntington's disease from her mother, but she initially refuses to be tested for it as not knowing allows her to live with hope . It is revealed in the season - four finale that she has the mutation for Huntington's . In "Lucky Thirteen", Thirteen says that her Huntington's is more aggressive, greatly decreasing her life expectancy and hastening the onset of symptoms . Initially after being diagnosed, she exhibits sensation seeking: staying out all night, using recreational drugs and having repeated one - night stands with women . She later ceases to behave self - destructively after a near - death experience in the episode "Last Resort", wherein she realizes her conviction to live, agreeing to participate in a Huntington's disease drug trial and becoming more active in her attempts to prolong her life . </P> <P> Her behavior brings her colleagues to consider her someone who avoids or ignores her own personal problems and pretends that nothing is wrong . She is also shown to hide deep - seated fear; in the episode "Mirror Mirror", a patient who mimics the personality of whomever he is talking to tells her that he is scared--when she assures him that it will be okay, he fearfully tells her that it won't be . </P>
