House: Emancipation
July 4th 2009 05:28
When a 16-year-old factory manager, Sophia’s, lungs suddenly fill with fluid at work, she’s brought into House and his team. She tells them she’s an emancipated minor and has been supporting herself ever since her parents passed away. Foreman suspects the girl might be pregnant, but Kutner doesn’t believe it, or that the girl was on drugs. The team then turns to heart troubles, but that too comes back negative. When Kutner sympathizes with the patient, they all find out that the girl isn’t telling the truth. She’s lied to keep her family from finding her because she feels guilty for killing her little brother. Not on purpose, but because she wasn’t watching him when he was in the bath. House finally convinces her to reunite with her parents at the hospital, because she needs their bone marrow. They cry when reunited.
Meanwhile, Foreman begins work on his own pediatric case, even after House rejects his propsal to work on his own clinical trial. When the child takes a turn for the worse, Foreman starts to second guess himself. Will he be able to figure this out without House’s help? Turns out, with a few side trips to Cameron and Chase, Foreman figures out that the little boy is so sick because his older brother was giving him too many vitamins because he thought it would make him strong.
Meanwhile, house tells Wilson that he didn’t ask Cuddy out, and when Wilson has nothing to say about it, House gets suspicious.
House: Silent and unhappy is better than vocal and unhelpful.
~*~*~
House: Went home without ringing either her metaphorical or literal bell.
~*~*~
Foreman: That's the great thing about brothers. You make mistakes, they'll still love you.
~*~*~
House: Just because we call something 'poison,' doesn't mean it's bad for you.
~*~*~
House: Pot calling the kettle a pot?
~*~*~
House: Emotional is immediate; if she went to the rational first, then there was no emotional to process.
~*~*~
House: (to Wilson): Holding things in can give you Cancer!
~*~*~
Wilson: You want to talk about her?
House: Nope.
