However, when the kidneys of two of the children shut down, House is forced to test which drug caused the failure, resulting in one of the babies dying.

A pregnant woman (Marin Hinkle)[27] arrives at the hospital with brain and kidney problems and House must contend with her condition and Vogler's eagerness to see the doctor removed by using the board members.

The patient and her husband must decide between her life and their unborn child's, after the team discovers small cell lung cancer.

House fights off a meningitis outbreak and Cuddy gives his team an hour to produce results after he singles out a young patient (Skye McCole Bartusiak)[29] who does not quite fit the criteria.

In the meantime, Cuddy forces House to give a lecture to medical students on diagnosing patients and presents three scenarios, each with different reasons for their leg pain (with guest star Carmen Electra).

After confiding in Stacy that he still has feelings for her, House realizes that Mark had experienced delusions, and actually suffered from acute intermittent porphyria (AIP).
