*The title of this episode seems to be a reference to a the [[Donald Rumsfeld]] quote: "Now what is the message there? The message is that there are known 'knowns.' There are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say there are things that we now know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we do not know we don't know. So when we do the best we can and we pull all this information together, and we then say well that's basically what we see as the situation, that is really only the known knowns and the known unknowns. And each year, we discover a few more of those unknown unknowns." |

Template:House (TV series) episode "Known Unknowns" is the seventh episode of the sixth season of House. It aired on November 9, 2009. It is also a part of The Simpsons Scavenger Hunt as a part of "The Simpsons 20th Anniversary Special - In 3-D! On Ice!"
Plot
After a wild night out, a teenage girl (Anna Attanasio) is brought to Princeton Plainsboro with severely swollen appendages. The team must work to diagnose the young girl, who is less than honest about what happened the night she fell ill. As her condition worsens, she becomes unable to distinguish fact from fiction, leading Cameron to believe that she may have been drugged by roofies and raped by a comic book creator (Marcus Giamatti) she was following. They first give her flumazenil to antagonize the effect, but later intentionally drug her with amobarbital to make her tell the truth about the night.
Meanwhile, Cuddy, Wilson and House spend a weekend away from the hospital to attend a medical conference. Wilson feels remorse after having performed euthanasia on a terminally ill cancer patient by intentionally having told the sequence to the patient's PCA machine to a coworker loud enough for the patient himself to hear, allowing the patient to administer himself a morphine overdose. Wilson plans to give a speech about the incident, although it may severely harm his career, but House drugs Wilson and makes his speech during the convention in another person's name. Later, Wilson admits that it was irrational to sacrifice his career because of his remorse.
After the convention, House finds that Cuddy is dating the private investigator Lucas (Michael Weston), who is taking care of Cuddy's daughter in place of the babysitter. House is told by Wilson he isn't reliable because he drugged him.
Towards the end of the episode, Chase confesses to Cameron that he killed Dibala. The episode ends as Cameron reacts in shock.
