I felt there was something strange about the kid too - way too well balanced and had too many of the same likes & interests as Wilson. At first, I thought it was a set-up, but not by House, but by the "Falconer" girlfriend/mother who, knowing Wilson's nature, would take advantage of him, particularly when the kid told him the sob story about the fall-out with the family. In retrospect, I should have guessed it was House, but I was kind-of hoping for a B-story that was genuinely isolated from that part of Wilson's life.
