House MD Diagnosis By Episode/Actor

Given the episode and actor name, guess the disease.
Apologies in advance if this is too difficult - imagine you really need to be a fan of the show.
At the risk of being somewhat inaccurate, this quiz is liberal with the answers allowed (i.e. you don't need to give exact medical terminology unless there's no other alias for the disease)
