House - Episode Guide

Dr. Gregory House and his team take medical cases only after everyone else has failed to diagnose a patient. A Kindergarten teacher begins speaking gibberish and passes out in front of her class. What looks like a possible brain tumor does not respond to treatment and provides many more questions than answers for House and his team as they engage in a risky trial-and-error approach to her case. When the young teacher refuses any additional variations of treatment and her life starts slipping away, House must act against his code of conduct and make a personal visit to his patient to convince her to trust him one last time.

When a teenage lacrosse player is stricken with an unidentifiable brain disease, Dr. House and the team hustle to give his parents answers.

House and his team must make decisions that could compromise the babies' lives.

When a nun comes into the clinic with swollen arms, rash, and bleeding in her palms, Dr. House's diagnosis is a bad allergy, not stigmata as she believes. House gives her an antihistamine which appears to set off an allergic attack. However, when the nun gets tachycardia from the epinephrine House gives her to treat it, Cuddy concludes he gave her ten times the appropriate dose. When House insists he gave her the proper dose, Cuddy gives him 24 hours to prove the nun has another condition before she calls the malpractice lawyers. Although House finally vindicates himself, the answer doesn't help the patient. As her condition worsens, her fellow sisters pray for her while House and his team work to discover the cause of her illness. House wonders if he misdiagnosed her situation, not realizing that her past is coming back to haunt her.

While dodging Cuddy in the emergency room, House runs into the son of a schizophrenic woman diagnosed with alcoholism.

Legendary jazz musician John Henry Giles checks into Princeton Plainsboro Teaching Hospital believing he's dying from ALS and signs a DNR to avoid a slow death. House disagrees with the diagnosis and goes against everyone's wishes when he violates the DNR to save Giles' life. The decision lands House in court, drives Foreman to consider taking another job, and results in Giles' paralysis worsening. But when the patient inexplicably starts getting better, the team has to figure out the mystery in reverse and find out why his condition is improving.

Dr. Foreman believes an uncooperative homeless woman is faking seizures to get a free meal ticket at the teaching hospital. But her homelessness strikes a personal chord with Dr. Wilson, and he grows determined to keep her from falling between the cracks. Her worsening symptoms prove to be a complex mystery for House and his team, but the mystery of her identity and medical history may hold the answers to saving her life. Just as the team suspects she has contagious meningitis, the woman goes missing, only to be tasered by the police, who bring her back. But House deduces the taser may have proven yet another diagnosis, with dire results. Meanwhile, House has an audience of two medical students who are learning how to do case studies.

When House diagnoses the boy's illness, the young patient is forced to face the idea that his father may not be everything he believes.

House examines the senator finding that the symptoms point toward AIDS, a condition that would squash his career and presidential aspirations. But House refuses to settle for the easy answer. And House ends up giving the speech, but it doesn't go quite as Vogler planned.

While House and his team scramble to discover what's causing brain and kidney dysfunction in a pregnant woman, Vogler is on the warpath to get House fired after House's pharmaceutical speech.

Working to save Mark, House cannot help but think his feelings for Stacy may have reignited. Cuddy considers hiring Stacy if House agrees; he does.

When Death Row inmate Clarence mysteriously and suddenly collapses after hallucinating, House jumps at the chance to take the case for its difficulty and because it's "cool" over Cuddy and Foreman's objections.
