It's another medical mystery for House (Hugh Laurie) when 6-year-old Lucy (Bailee Madison) suffers a stroke and exhibits symptoms normally found in much older patients. Equally disturbing is the behavior of Lucy's 8-year-old brother Jasper (Slade Pearce{), who has apparently developed an adult-level sex drive. The youngster now has a burning desire for Cameron (Jennifer Morrison--who is already having enough trouble vis-à-vis her disintegrating relationship with Chase (Jesse Spencer). Elsewhere, a jealous House plans to crash a theater party when Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard) escorts Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein) to a show. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
It looks like attempted suicide when a woman named Hannah (Jayma Mays) swallows an entire bottle of sleeping pills. But appearances are deceiving as usual: Hannah has been awake for eight days straight, and all she wants is a little sleep. Unfotunately, the poor woman will die of acute insomnia unless House (Hugh Laurie) can persuade Hannah's partner Max (Dahlia Salmen) to make a most unusual sacrifice. Meanwhile, House himself has been suffering from sleep deprivation ever since Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard) moved in. Elsewhere, a language breakdown results in a Chinese woman being given birth control pills for a head cold; and Cameron (Jennifer Coleman) is outraged when Foreman (Omar Epps) swipes her ideas for a medical-journal article--apparently with House's full blessing! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
Using and abusing his power as a police detective, Tritter (David Morse) continues harrassing the clinic staffers in his efforts to nail House (Hugh Laurie) on drug charges. In Tritter's latest strategy, he offers to cut a deal for the first person who rats on House--and it looks like Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard) may take the bait. Despite his own legal woes, House takes a divorced couple to court to force them to approve treatment for their 6-year-old daughter Alice (Alyssa Shafer), who is suffering from pancreitis. Having had his Vicodin supply radically curtailed by Dr. Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein), House is fiendishly delighted when the court remands Alice to Cuddy's custody! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
William (Josh Eriksson) has been critically injured by Fields' (Franklyn Ajaye) horse. Martha (Anna Gunn) regrets bringing William to Deadwood, and wants to bring him back to Michigan. Doc (Brad Dourif) privately notes that if the hoof had come down an inch to the right, the boy, mercifully, would have died instantly. "I doubt He's omniscient," Doc laments. "I know He's myopic." Fields has to convince Hostetler (Richard Gant) not to kill himself. They leave town, Hostetler insisting that they track down the horse and return with it. Without Seth's (Timothy Olyphant) presence for protection, Miss Isringhausen (Sarah Paulson) refuses to sign Al's (Ian McShane) incriminating documents. Al gets Silas (Titus Welliver) to help him persuade her. Al learns from Merrick (Jeffrey Jones) that Jarry (Stephen Tobolowsky) is returning to the camp, probably in response to Al's planted article in the Pioneer about Seth's "rumored" contacts with Montana. Al summons Sol (John Hawkes) to school Silas about Montana politics, in order to convince Jarry that the camp is in play. Sol objects to being summoned, as he stands vigil outside Doc's, but Dan (W. Earl Brown) threatens to carry him across the thoroughfare if he doesn't come peacefully. Sol is further dismayed to find that Trixie (Paula Malcomson), in her grief, has returned to the Gem. Mose (Pruitt Taylor Vince), critically wounded by Cy's men, is brought to the Chez Amis to recuperate. A reformed Andy Cramed (Zach Grenier) returns to the camp, having become a preacher. Cy (Powers Boothe) explains to the worried Jarry that the article in the Pioneer was Al's concoction, but Jarry won't listen. "Doesn't take much, does it," Cy asks the commissioner, "to get your balls tucked up?" "They are very sensitive to changes in weather," Jarry responds, pointedly. "You feel one coming on?" ~ Josh Ralske, All Movie Guide
House (Hugh Laurie) is certain that champion cyclist Jeff Foster (Kristoffer Polaha) is suffering from respiratory problems because he's been taking enhancement drugs--but he's ordered by Foster's handlers to keep his theories to himself. The diagnosis keeps changing as new information continues to turn up, culminating in a public brouhaha when the word "cancer" is mentioned. Meanwhile, Cameron (Jennifer Morrison) holds a grudge against Foster for betraying his devoted fans by not telling them the whole truth, and her attitude casts a pall over the entire proceedings. Elsewhere, House prepares to confront Mark Warner (Currie Graham), the husband of his ex-lover Stacy (Sela Ward), at a group therapy session. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
