[Well, after that dunk and the rising salinity of the water, the slug's definitely losing its grip. The slap is enough to get him breathing, shooting House one last glare before control slips.
And then Wilson slumps - without the slug exerting its will on him, he's just anesthetized, so he essentially dunks himself conveniently into the salt water... which is enough to get the slug out of his ear. Not that where it's going is any less lethal, of course.]
[ Mindy's resisting every inclination to snatch it out of the tub and let it squish beneath her boot. But that'd be ruining the current show for the both of them.

[Unconscious or not, Wilson's reflexes are intact enough that what little water did get inhaled is coughed out.
The slug, meanwhile, is twisting violently in the water, fighting to reach an edge, but it's clearly a battle that's already lost. As is evidenced by its visibly withering body.]
