When he was insane. Specifically, when he was trying to get you to do a morgue experiment. I made sure he understood he wasn't getting off the hook just because he didn't have any morals at the moment.
So honestly? He got really lucky that you found Alfie waking up at that chapel.
He used text. Made a few excuses and refused to give me a straight answer other than he might need me for something else later. [ He's quiet for a moment. ] Which makes more sense than any idea that he might want me in particular alive. You'd think he'd jump at the chance for revenge.
Considering all the things he's done to me I don't exactly feel bad at all when it comes to House actually getting consequences for his actions. Don't think you should either.

He called me to tell me not to do it. Did you know that?

I hadn't heard that, no. Did he sound panicked? I hope he sounded panicked.

[ He sounds absolutely tickled by this. ]
You know I'm trying to be good here. Or at least behave myself, right? But that feels pretty good. Doubt Al would give me a hard time over it, either.

That's. Optimistic.

Yeah? Maybe a little. Guess Al's wearing off on me.

Keep hold onto that. [ A beat. ] I need to go. Find Alfie before it gets too late in the day.

I'll try my best. And sure, get going. I'm gonna bet it won't be long before I'm calling you again.
Glad you're back, Royce.

Thanks, Gabriel. [ And he'll hang up. ]
