00:00I want to reassure you, your child can have a completely normal life.
00:06How can a baby have male and female DNA?
00:10It's a condition called genetic mosaicism.
00:14The ambiguous genitalia can be surgically repaired.
00:18Repaired?
00:20Made to look more typical.
00:24More typical?
00:25But you haven't even told us if the baby's a boy or a girl.
00:31That's a choice you have to make.
00:44Take it.
00:58You have a shot.
01:00He lost his nerve.
01:01Honey, it's okay.
01:01He's doing great.
01:08Great.
01:09Great shot.
01:10Great shot.
01:10Great shot.
01:11Great shot.
01:28No fear that time.
01:40Melanie.
01:42Oh my god.
01:44Jackson!
01:46Jackson!
01:46Let's go.
02:30Black heels or the boots?
02:33You know I'm a fan of those heels.
02:37Boots it is.
02:41For all we know, House knows you're a fan of those heels.
02:44You think House is gonna figure out we faked our breakup because of your shoes?
02:51Go with the boots.
02:56You gonna eat that?
02:58Have at it.
03:00Did you just ask my permission before you took my food?
03:04Yes, we can.
03:06Adolescent genetic mosaic collapsed during a basketball game presenting with persistent pelvic pain.
03:11Fun.
03:12The parents haven't told their son that he could have been their daughter.
03:15They want assurance that you won't either.
03:18Less fun, but still.
03:27Well, that was easy.
03:30Our new patient.
03:32Part girl, part boy.
03:35All 13's dream date.
03:39Severe pelvic pain started during a basketball game.
03:42Could be dehydration.
03:42You already gave him fluids when he came in.
03:44Still, if it was chronic.
03:46He got a kid could mate with himself.
03:48I mean, they're thinking he didn't have enough to drink.
03:49There are dozens of intersex disorders.
03:52Persistent pelvic pain could mean congenital adrenal hyperplasia, PMDS.
03:56Those conditions occur in intersex kids who are chromosomally XX or XY.
04:00Not XX and XY.
04:01Parents recently started him on testosterone.
04:03Maybe there's something...
04:04Vitamins wouldn't cause pelvic pain.
04:08There's a note in here.
04:10We're supposed to refer to his testosterone shots as vitamins.
04:13His parents aren't just liars.
04:14They want us to be liars, too.
04:16I won't do it.
04:18You guys will, though.
04:19He's a kid.
04:20Parents don't think he's ready to deal with it.
04:22My dad was the same way about me maybe having Huntington's.
04:25Well, that was your experience.
04:27Must surely apply it in this situation.
04:31Pain could be caused by a blind uterus hidden in his abdomen.
04:34He needs an MRI.
04:35Right.
04:36Boy with girl genes.
04:37I'm sure you're the first doctor brilliant enough to check for a uterus.
04:41He could have complications from the surgeries on his penis.
04:44That can cause pelvic pain.
04:45Way to multitask.
04:47Impress your boss and humiliate your ex.
04:50MRI is a waste of time.
04:51To continue the humiliation, he'll put a camera up his penis.
04:57You're Dr. House, aren't you?
05:00What do you think's wrong with our son?
05:04These people were just coming to tell you.
05:07This is better.
05:08Don't have to worry about them losing their way.
05:10We think that he has a blind uterus.
05:13He should have an MRI.
05:15You sent him a text?
05:17Over the past 13 years, we've educated ourselves.
05:21Who needs med school when you got Wi-Fi?
05:24We'll schedule our son for an MRI with contrast right away.
05:29Thanks.
05:32You just said an MRI was a waste of time.
05:34So is arguing with them.
05:40Contrast in.
05:42Jackson, we're going to get started, so try to lie still.
05:47How long do you think the post-breakup awkwardness is going to last?
05:52Foreman and I are both professionals.
05:55Stomach and liver are clear.
05:56If by professional, you mean he's a T-1000 built by Cyberdyne Systems.
06:02I never understood what you saw on him.
06:04It's not really your type, huh?
06:06Moving down through the pelvic floor.
06:08Here's my impression of Foreman on the happiest day of his life.
06:14Now the saddest day of his life.
06:18We just broke up.
06:20I'm not quite ready to mock him yet.
06:23House was a jerk to split you two up.
06:26But bottom line, he did you a favor.
06:30Area around the intestinal tract is clear.
06:32No blind uterus.
06:41I think there's something wrong with House.
06:44Who's he making miserable now?
06:46Actually, no one.
06:47He okayed an MRI just because the parents wanted to look for a blind uterus.
06:52There was no fighting, no arguing.
06:54He just went along.
06:55It's a valid medical theory?
06:57He doesn't think it is.
06:59House decided to humor these parents.
07:03Maybe he had a great cup of coffee.
07:06Or a tremendous bowel movement.
07:08Bottom line is, your boss is in a good mood.
07:11Stop analyzing it and just enjoy it.
07:21We're going to use this scope to fill your bladder with saline.
07:24Then examine your urethra for any narrow spots.
07:27Will there be a narrow spot?
07:30Sometimes it just happens.
07:33Can my parents come in?
07:35Sure.
07:37I thought it'd be awkward for you having them here.
07:40I have this feeling they've seen me naked before.
07:45Now, take a breath.
07:47Just try to relax.
07:52Mom.
07:56It's okay, honey.
07:57It's okay.
07:59Hey, remember those sprints they made you run in practice?
08:03Those were so hard.
08:05But you pulled through.
08:08You can do this, too.
08:12I'm to the bladder.
08:14Start the saline.
08:19I'm going to look around and pull back on the scope.
08:25It feels tight.
08:26That pressure's normal.
08:27Just try to hold on for a few more minutes.
08:29It's not down there.
08:32It's my chest.
08:35I can't breathe.
08:37I can't breathe.
08:39I can't breathe.
08:40Is he okay?
08:42Muffled heart sounds.
08:44Juggulars distended.
08:45Pericardial effusion.
08:46We need 10-gauge on a syringe.
08:47What's happening?
08:48His heart is filling with exudate.
08:49If we don't drain it, it'll stop feeding.
08:55We drain the fluid from his pericardial space.
08:57His heart rate is back to normal.
08:59Pelvis plus heart doesn't fit with any of the syndromes associated with mosaicism.
09:03Could be drugs, toxins, and infection.
09:07You're okay with this?
09:08But what?
09:09That we're considering a diagnosis unrelated to this kid being a she-male.
09:13Assuming a coincidence like that would usually torture you, but you're completely unfazed.
09:17Completely unfazed?
09:18I think I'm totally lacking in any phasing.
09:21The idea that I'm anything less than half-phased, I actually find offensive.
09:26It greatly phases me.
09:27You started testosterone.
09:29Vitamins.
09:30A few months ago, that can cause autoimmune diseases like polyarteritis and SLE,
09:34which can cause pericardial effusion and pelvic pain.
09:38So it is related.
09:41Now I'm unfazed.
09:43Starting on corticosteroids for the autoimmune finasteride to block the vitamins.
09:55You slept with House.
09:57He asked permission before taking my bagel, took the case without a fight, honored the parents' request for an MRI.
10:05Yes, those were my terms for sleeping with him.
10:07He's in a good mood.
10:09Sex with me would explain that.
10:11But it doesn't explain why I'm not curled up in a ball weeping in shame.
10:16I did not have sex with House.
10:18If you two aren't keeping something from me, that means he's keeping something from both of us.
10:24That can't be good.
10:25Or he's just in a good mood.
10:26This is not a crisis.
10:28Maybe you can get back some of that money he owes you.
10:33Hmm.
10:38Testosterone blocker?
10:40Does that mean if Jackson has SLE or whatever that other thing was that he'd have to go off the
10:46hormones?
10:47Probably.
10:49Then Jackson will stop developing.
10:51He'll never go through puberty.
10:53Maybe this isn't what's wrong with him.
10:55Maybe the testosterone didn't cause it.
10:57Yeah, but if it is, then he'll never be a man.
11:02Did we make the wrong choice?
11:11You'll need to tell him the testosterone blocker is something else.
11:16Or maybe this is a good opportunity to tell him the truth.
11:19It might make it simpler for all of you.
11:24You want us to tell a sick adolescent boy that he's really not an adolescent boy?
11:30That doesn't seem simpler to me.
11:35No.
11:37Just to give him the meds.
11:44So, you have pain in one arm and both your legs.
11:49Does it hurt right now?
11:51No.
11:52It's when I, like, put pressure on them.
11:57See?
11:57It hurts when I do this.
12:00Ow.
12:02And this.
12:05Ow.
12:07And this.
12:11Ow.
12:14What about this?
12:15Ow!
12:21Did you give House the moron with the broken finger?
12:24They've been in room two about ten minutes.
12:26The patient should have been screaming for another doctor seven minutes ago.
12:35Thanks, brah.
12:48If I have this IV, why do I need a shot, too?
12:53Just some extra medicine.
12:55Just to be safe.
12:58I hear you're quite the basketball player.
13:00What position?
13:01Point guard.
13:02Small forward.
13:04How's your crossover dribble?
13:05Well, it's okay.
13:07I'm not really that into basketball.
13:09Gonna feel a little pinch, okay?
13:13So, if you're not that into it, why'd you join the team?
13:20My mom kind of made me do it.
13:22My parents were the same way.
13:23Always pushing me to try new things.
13:26It's more like what she didn't want me to try.
13:30I wanted to take dance.
13:32She flipped out and made me choose between basketball and hockey.
13:37What does your dad say?
13:38He seemed okay with it.
13:40Then he just caved in to my mom.
13:45Your palm is red.
13:47What does that mean?
13:52Then we still don't know what's wrong with you.
13:59You were right.
14:01He is in a good mood.
14:10Bummer it didn't work out with you and 13.
14:13It happens.
14:14You guys seemed happy together.
14:16It's probably for the best.
14:17You know, the bisexual thing and all.
14:19It's never an issue.
14:20No, it never is.
14:21Until it is.
14:22This is 13.
14:24Before you guys got together,
14:25she was hooking up with a different girl every night.
14:28Long term, you really think you could compete with that?
14:34House, wake up.
14:35We have to talk.
14:37Stop pretending to be asleep.
14:39We're not leaving.
14:40House.
14:44What's going on?
14:46House.
14:50He's not breathing.
14:51Can you get a pulse?
14:52Barely.
14:52Call the code.
14:53Get an ambulance back from the nurse's station.
14:55The heart's still working.
14:56These synapses are still firing.
14:57We just need to get a message to him.
15:00Ah!
15:08You stopped breathing.
15:10What the hell is going on?
15:12Yeah.
15:17I think my penis stopped breathing.
15:19Did you know CPR?
15:20Looks like your brain is okay.
15:22Pupils are equal, round, and reactive.
15:24I'm fine.
15:25Other than the fact that my nurple is now purple.
15:29No wonder you broke up with him.
15:30I'm surprised yours are still attached.
15:32By the way, I can see that from here.
15:36I assume those are our patient's lab results.
15:38A patient can wait.
15:39You could have died.
15:40The only reason you'd ignore a near-death experience is you don't care or you already know why it happened.
15:45It's called Vicodin.
15:46I took too many.
15:48Can I please get some information about our patient?
15:51Patient's palms are red.
15:52Lab tests confirmed liver and kidney dysfunction.
15:54I don't remember you taking any Vicodin today.
15:56I don't remember hiring my mother.
15:58What causes the enzymes of little boy George's existing heart problem and pelvic pain?
16:03You didn't take any yesterday at breakfast, either.
16:05I don't remember having breakfast with my mother.
16:08Amyloidosis with systemic involvement.
16:10Protein levels are normal.
16:11This kid's depressed.
16:12If he's self-medicating with drugs and alcohol, that'd explain his symptoms.
16:15Search the school, search the home.
16:17Seriously?
16:18Or are you just deflected?
16:19Both.
16:24Where are you going?
16:25Nowhere.
16:26I'm staying right here so we can properly discuss this.
16:32He's on heroin.
16:34How can you...
16:35Number one, he's happy, which means he's high.
16:38Number two, when he moved his bad leg, he didn't use his hands to support it.
16:41Whatever he's taking, it's stronger than Vicodin.
16:45What are we going to do?
16:50Do you really think House took too many Vicodin?
16:53God, pops them like candy.
16:55I'm surprised it hasn't happened before.
16:57You miss sleeping with women?
17:00Excuse me?
17:01Simple question.
17:04Yes.
17:05It's a simple answer.
17:08I'll check under the bed.
17:13I also miss sleeping with other men.
17:15And I'm sure you miss sleeping with other women.
17:19Monogamy is like saying you're never going to have any other ice cream flavor besides Rocky Road.
17:24So you're saying if you don't have pink bubblegum for a while, that one day you're going to chase down
17:29the ice cream truck?
17:31No.
17:32Rocky Road is great.
17:34It's a very delicious and complicated flavor.
17:39I also know that if I have other flavors, then Rocky Road is going to be left in the freezer
17:43where anyone can just dip in.
17:45Can we please drop the metaphor?
17:49Why is this coming up now?
17:52Cutner said the silver lining of our breakup was, I wouldn't be dumb for a girl.
17:57There's nothing in here either.
17:59Seems like you're wrong about this kid having drug or alcohol.
18:01When did you bring that up?
18:03Earlier today.
18:04Right before.
18:04This morning, Taub called you a robot.
18:07Huh.
18:09Either it's a big coincidence or they're jerking us around.
18:13They know.
18:14And if they know, House knows.
18:18This is bad.
18:20No.
18:22This is good.
18:24House only has two ways to handle us still going out.
18:27He jerks us around or he fires us.
18:29He chose option A.
18:31This is good.
18:38But this is bad.
18:41I stand alone, my soul and me, beneath the mask that others see.
18:50His chest is still rising.
18:52He's just screwing with me because Cuddy made me babysit.
18:56A pain that tears and bites and will not bend.
18:59Only when I sleep will it end.
19:01Downer.
19:03And medically around.
19:07You sure his chest is moving?
19:10House.
19:10If he's faking, you think he's going to come clean because you said his name?
19:14Back off.
19:15Only 13 gets to grab my nipples this time.
19:18You know, recreating the moment when you made us crap our pants isn't actually all that funny.
19:24That is sweet that you're worried about, House.
19:29Unless the next stanza reads,
19:31hoping to fry my brain to death,
19:33I smoke some primo crystal meth.
19:36I'm not interested.
19:38You can't deny that this kid may be suicidal.
19:40We're not here to make him happy.
19:41We're here to diagnose him.
19:42It's an infection.
19:44A swab of the kid's water bottle turned up toxoplasmosis.
19:47I'll start him on pyromethamine.
19:59I had no idea he felt this way.
20:02Is there a therapist here that you can recommend?
20:04It might help more if you talk to him.
20:08He's not ready.
20:10If telling him the truth would help him stop feeling like this...
20:13If I knew that it would make him less confused,
20:15I'd tell him right now.
20:17But if she's wrong, we'd only make things worse.
20:21He obviously senses he's different.
20:24He's looking for answers.
20:26Every teenager feels different.
20:30Now, he's sick.
20:32This isn't the time to spring this on him.
20:37Okay.
20:40When you give Jackson the antibiotics,
20:43will you please restart the testosterone?
20:46Sure.
20:51I get House wanting to jerk me and Thirteen around,
20:53but you guys?
20:55Told you they were still together.
20:58How do you know?
20:59Noticed you smell like Thirteen's soap every morning?
21:01You figured it out?
21:03Yes.
21:03I'm a little slow.
21:05Maybe someone should let me know when I should be insulted.
21:08Then House doesn't know.
21:10Probably does know that you filter up during that last differential.
21:16You noticed this, but House didn't?
21:19Yes.
21:19I get it.
21:20He's generally smarter than me.
21:22Can we please move on?
21:23He's not generally smarter than you.
21:24He's always smarter than you.
21:29Unless...
21:34Hello?
21:35House is on heroin.
21:39Well, that's certainly an interesting notion.
21:43It's why his lungs stopped.
21:44It's why he okayed the MRI.
21:45It's why he missed things he wouldn't ordinarily miss.
21:49Uh, we'll run some tests.
21:52I'll let you know.
21:53He's there, isn't he?
21:54Well, that would certainly explain the inappropriate responses.
21:57I gotta go.
21:58Okay.
22:00Sorry.
22:01Consult.
22:03Didn't you order these?
22:05When you were in the bathroom.
22:07I thought a celebration was in order.
22:10To cheating death.
22:19You off bourbon?
22:21When you get you something else?
22:22I came here expecting a burger.
22:24Figured I'd have to endure a little lecture on moderation.
22:27You never listen, so why...
22:29Instead, I get a drink.
22:32Nice little serving of respiratory depressant
22:34on the day that my lungs stop working.
22:36You seem fine now.
22:38You don't believe that I OD'd on Vicodin.
22:41You figure I'm on something stronger.
22:42Because you can never, ever assume anything
22:44of the most screwed up scenario as far as I'm concerned.
22:47Funny how I'm usually right.
22:48You think that I'm on heroin.
22:51This is your version of a tox screen.
22:54So I am on heroin.
22:55I can't drink that without risking another bout
22:57of not breathing.
23:03Will?
23:15Good night.
23:23Another shot?
23:25I'm afraid so.
23:28It looks like the vitamins my parents gave me.
23:30Same red top.
23:40These aren't vitamins.
23:44What is it?
23:46I can't tell you that.
23:48You should ask your parents.
23:55You idiot!
24:02Okay, I've been it.
24:03I have bulimia.
24:05I look good, though.
24:06Don't I?
24:07Heroin.
24:08Heroin!
24:09House of all the stupid...
24:11I'm not on heroin.
24:13I just caught you with your fingers down your throat.
24:16I'm on methadone.
24:20Stupid product.
24:22Heroin without the high.
24:23Yeah, and twice the risk of death.
24:26No risk of arrest.
24:27You nearly died.
24:28Today was a fluke.
24:30I nodded off.
24:30Right.
24:31You're safe as long as you never sleep again.
24:34Mistime your dose, you die.
24:36Couple of drinks, you die.
24:37Mix it with the wrong drugs, you die.
24:39You want to detox from Vicodin?
24:41Pick something that won't kill you.
24:42I'm not detoxing.
24:45If you're looking for something to help with your pain...
24:49It doesn't help my pain.
24:51It eliminates it.
25:02The leg doesn't hurt anymore.
25:12Completely disregarded our instructions.
25:15He asked a question.
25:16I was tired of lying.
25:17I didn't tell him anything about his genetic condition.
25:20I want her removed from our son's case.
25:23I'm sorry for the position Dr. Hadley put you in.
25:25But I can't do that.
25:27She's a valuable part of Dr. House's diagnostic team.
25:31If he stays on the case, so does she.
25:33We have to deal with Jackson.
25:35These questions aren't going to go away.
25:37He's not ready for this.
25:41Let's hope you're wrong.
25:50I'm sorry.
25:51I'll stay away from their son.
25:52No, you won't.
25:54In about 15 minutes, you're the only person that kid's going to trust.
25:57If he needs a hand to hold, make sure yours is available.
26:07So what?
26:10Am I a boy or a girl?
26:13Some of your cells are male.
26:16And some are female.
26:17So basically I'm a freak.
26:20Oh, no, buddy.
26:22You're just a little different.
26:27You've known this since I was born.
26:31And you never told me.
26:33We didn't want you to be confused.
26:35So you lied to me.
26:37Oh, please, sweetie.
26:38We were just trying to protect you.
26:40Don't.
26:42Just leave me alone.
26:47Get out.
26:50Let's go.
27:05You still breathing in there?
27:07Because if not, I'm sending in janitorial.
27:11I'm not breathing.
27:13It's strictly voluntary.
27:14You should have seen the guy who was in here before me.
27:16I know about the methadone.
27:20It's legal.
27:22I have a prescription.
27:23Whatever doctor you conned into writing it clearly had no idea about your addiction issues,
27:28your lack of...
27:28He knows I'm in pain.
27:30What I put in my body is my business.
27:32You keep taking this, you could die.
27:35He said that if I keep doing this, you could die.
27:37Then it'd be your business.
27:40I can't sit by and watch you kill yourself.
27:43As long as you're in my hospital, you can't do methadone.
27:54You sent someone for my stuff.
27:59That's it?
28:01You're quitting?
28:02You're choosing methadone over this job?
28:05I'm choosing a lack of pain over this job.
28:18Eventually, you have to talk to your parents again.
28:21No, we're done.
28:34I have this one friend.
28:36My basketball team, Will.
28:39We hang out a lot.
28:41I really like him.
28:43Now I'm worried that I...
28:46You know, like.
28:52Maybe I'm supposed to.
28:55Because if I'm really a girl.
28:59Hmm.
29:01Do you feel like a girl?
29:04I like dancing more than basketball.
29:07Is that what that means?
29:16Jackson.
29:19As hard as it is right now,
29:22at least it's out in the open.
29:24You don't have to hide behind a mask.
29:32I found the poem you wrote in your room.
29:38No matter how bad things get,
29:41killing yourself is never the answer.
29:50This was an English assignment.
29:54We were supposed to write a poem
29:57in the style of Sylvia Plath.
30:03You don't feel this way?
30:07I'm sad sometimes.
30:11I don't want to die.
30:15At least I didn't.
30:26Are these antibiotics supposed to make you nauseous?
30:30Yeah, they can.
30:33Oh!
30:35Oh!
30:36Oh!
30:37Oh!
30:39Oh!
30:40Oh!
30:42Oh!
30:42Oh!
30:42Oh!
30:43Oh!
30:48Oh!
31:12We're on our own.
31:13Is he okay?
31:14He's fine.
31:15He's just not here.
31:15Did he quit?
31:16Did she suspend him?
31:17She didn't say.
31:18He was just telling me I was in charge
31:19until further notice.
31:21So if we add bloody vomit
31:22to our patient's list of symptoms?
31:24The surgeon reports the bleeding
31:25was caused by a gastric fistula
31:27caused by necrotizing pancreatitis.
31:29She must have told you something.
31:30Nothing that would help us with this patient.
31:31Heart, liver, kidneys, and pancreas.
31:34Obviously, whatever this kid's got
31:35is something systemic.
31:38Sollingerallicin?
31:39Or a systemic scleroderma.
31:43Sollingerallicin fits better.
31:44Why?
31:44Can we at least call house?
31:46We can.
31:47I have.
31:47He's not answering.
31:48Put the patient on proton pump inhibitors.
31:50If he gets better,
31:51Zollingerallicin.
31:52If not, scleroderma.
32:00Zollingerallicin doesn't fit better.
32:03You don't want it to be scleroderma
32:05because that means he's gonna die.
32:07Patients die all the time.
32:08Not the ones whose family you've ruined.
32:11I don't think that.
32:12You don't.
32:14It's not your fault.
32:16He was no more confused than any other teenager.
32:18Then I started a fire and threw gas on it.
32:21You were trying to help.
32:29Hi.
32:31Is house here?
32:32He's getting dressed.
32:34I'll be back around 10 tonight.
32:37Go on in.
32:39Okay.
32:44Who is she?
32:45I hired her to watch me sleep.
32:47Make sure I don't stop breathing.
32:49Home nurses usually wear scrubs.
32:51He's not a nurse.
32:54You hired a hooker to watch you sleep?
32:57That just can't...
33:01Surprisingly, hookers are cheaper.
33:03They don't sue for sexual harassment.
33:05Which one?
33:07You shaved.
33:10The red one, then.
33:12You have two times?
33:14Meeting at St. Sebastian's today.
33:16I'm gonna try and talk him into
33:18starting up a diagnostics department.
33:19It sounds great.
33:22I just came by to check up on you.
33:25See how you were doing.
33:27I'm fine.
33:31I guess you are.
33:35He hasn't responded to the medication at all?
33:37I'm afraid not.
33:40So, that means he's got the other thing?
33:43I'm so sorry.
33:45We'll start him on anti-inflammatories.
33:47If we're lucky, that will slow down the progression.
33:59My son has a death sentence,
34:01and I can't go in there and be with him because of you.
34:04I'm sorry.
34:05You find a homework assignment and decide he's suicidal.
34:08Make it your own personal mission.
34:11I let my feelings...
34:12Oh, don't you dare apologize.
34:14Like it could absolve you of what you've done to me, my family.
34:18He was fine.
34:20I understand why you're angry.
34:22But this isn't where you belong right now.
34:24He won't let us in the room.
34:26He's a teenager.
34:27You're his mother.
34:29This is not the time to start listening to him.
34:32Go be with him.
34:46I didn't do it for you.
34:54We made a mistake.
34:55No, we didn't.
34:56The methadone's good for him.
34:58The methadone is gonna kill him.
35:00He shaved.
35:01He was wearing a tie.
35:02He has a meeting at St. Sebastian.
35:04If he buys a new pair of shoes, should we let him smoke crack?
35:07Cuddy, he's happy.
35:09House doesn't do happy.
35:11Pain or no pain.
35:12Okay, maybe.
35:15But he's our friend, and this is his one chance to not be miserable.
35:44The heels, very nice.
35:47No reason not to wear them now that House is gone.
35:50You okay?
35:51Yeah, just tired.
35:53Got some good news.
35:55Patient's scleroderma is responding to the anti-inflammatory meds.
35:58Zay's T-level's dropped a bit.
36:01So he's dying slightly less quickly than we thought.
36:03That's great news.
36:07I'm not okay.
36:10Next time, just say that.
36:15What's his AST?
36:18Uh, 185, I think.
36:19That's a pretty fast drop.
36:21Are we sure it's from the anti-inflammatories?
36:22What else could it be from?
36:24He's been off the antibiotics for a while.
36:25Proton pump inhibitors wouldn't...
36:26He's back on testosterone.
36:28Testosterone wouldn't help his liver function.
36:29But it could improve his kidney function, which would also lower his AST.
36:33But not in kidneys damaged by scleroderma.
36:35Which means it's not scleroderma.
36:42I have an interview in two hours.
36:46Wow.
36:48Hand over my letter of recommendation.
36:51Sorry, I haven't done it yet.
36:53You have no right to sabotage...
36:55I was busy with this.
36:59It's a list of requirements for your methadone treatment.
37:02Weekly drug tests.
37:04Supervised doses administered on a precise schedule by me or one of the nurses.
37:09It seems weird getting my meds here when I'm working somewhere else.
37:13Yes.
37:16I'm offering you your job back.
37:21I want a raise.
37:23No.
37:24You got a bigger office.
37:25But in the same spot.
37:27No.
37:29We both know this is where you belong.
37:36Okay.
37:40Welcome back.
37:51You're welcome.
38:02You okay?
38:03I have issues with authority.
38:06You?
38:07We thought you were gone.
38:09Cuddy missed me.
38:10And what happened to your cane?
38:11She has to borrow it for some reason.
38:14Patient dead?
38:15Or do I need to do anything?
38:17He's got scleroderma.
38:18It's not scleroderma.
38:20Wow.
38:21Two days.
38:23Already got two separate theories.
38:25You're back.
38:26Good.
38:27We noticed a drop in AST levels.
38:29It's not from the anti-inflammatory.
38:30It's because his kidneys got better from the testosterone.
38:32Which rules out scleroderma?
38:35When did you two come up with this?
38:37We ran into each other in the lobby.
38:41So what did we miss?
38:43When I say we, I mean you.
38:44I wasn't here.
38:45We've ruled out Zollinger-Ellison.
38:47That was a dumb idea.
38:48Why?
38:49Because it was wrong.
38:50Also toxoplasmosis, dehydration, SLE, various intersex disorders.
38:55Oh, crap.
38:59This kid liked energy drinks.
39:01I saw some empty bottles in the team locker room.
39:05But energy drinks don't explain nice work.
39:08So we're okay?
39:11Why wouldn't we be?
39:14Nice heels.
39:23This is all your parents' fault.
39:25Excuse me?
39:26Chug a lot of energy drinks before, during, and after practice.
39:31Your son came in here with simple dehydration.
39:34That's why he collapsed during the game.
39:36The ER treated him for that.
39:37It didn't help the pain.
39:39That's where the energy drinks came in.
39:41Put a strain on his kidneys so he needed more time to rebound from the initial dehydration.
39:45Then why isn't he better?
39:46That's where your idiocy came in.
39:49Before we could give him another glass of water, you two insisted I do an MRI.
39:54So I go down a blind alley, looking for a blind uterus.
39:58And my team injects him with contrast material.
40:01His kidneys have been healthy.
40:03We've filtered out the contrast in a couple hours.
40:05Since they weren't, they went around and around,
40:07eventually getting absorbed by his heart and his liver and his pancreas.
40:10Getting in trouble everywhere it went.
40:13Your son was fine when he got here.
40:15It was your freaked-out overprotectiveness that nearly killed him.
40:20Nearly.
40:22He's young.
40:24A few weeks of dialysis.
40:26He should be fine.
40:34You gave birth to a freak of nature.
40:38Doesn't mean it's a good idea to treat him like one.
40:54How are you feeling?
40:55A little bit better.
40:57I saw you talking to your parents earlier.
40:59That's good.
41:00My mom asked if I wanted to take dance lessons.
41:03That's great.
41:05I'm actually worried I might miss basketball.
41:08It's starting to get good.
41:10No reason you can't do both.
41:32Starting tomorrow, you'll come to my office for your fix.
41:36I'm done with the methadone.
41:40Screwed up.
41:41The kid's parents wanted that MRI.
41:43I knew he didn't need it.
41:45I did it anyway.
41:47That's what got him sick.
41:49You just solved a case that no one else could solve.
41:52I created a case.
41:53I played nice because I was in a good mood.
41:57Because I didn't hurt.
41:59You don't need your pain to be a good doctor.
42:01I'm not interested in good.
42:03You're afraid to be happy.
42:04Why do you care if I'm happy?
42:14You're afraid of change.
42:17The one thing you have is your intellect.
42:19You think if that's compromised, you have nothing.
42:26Just take it.
42:28No.
42:30Don't do this.
42:33It's already done.
42:39This is the only me you get.
42:44Don't do this.
42:44No.
42:56Don't do this.
42:56No.
