Plot

While at a carnival with her father, six-year-old Alice starts screaming hysterically. Each time the doctors perform a test on Alice, her skin reacts as if she has allergies to everything. House suspects an infection and recommends broad-spectrum antibiotics, but Cuddy decides on Metronidazole. Alice keeps getting worse and Cuddy runs a charcoal hemoperfusion, during which Alice develops a clot in her arm. Foreman and Cuddy operate on her and remove the clot, during which time her temperature rises dangerously.

House concludes she has necrotizing fasciitis, and decides her only chance for survival is amputation of the infected limbs. Chase realizes that Alice has erythropoietic protoporphyria, but House ignores the diagnosis and punches him in the face. House, embarrassed by his tantrum and lack of understanding, realizes that Chase is right.

After the surgery is stopped, Chase enters the doctors lounge, visibly stressed. Chase tells Wilson that he cannot stand the situation anymore, and that he's become impatient with waiting for House's approval and abruptly leaves the room. In the final scene, Wilson is shown visiting Tritter and asking for his "thirty pieces of silver", a reference to the price for which Judas betrayed Jesus.

gollark: I'm not sure about that, though, <@!236628809158230018>. I mean, if there was one in the distant parse which then ceased interaction, it would easily have been long enough for it to have been garbled by now.

gollark: ... "faith" or something?

gollark: I'm not denying that *Muslims* consider it a revelation from Allah. I'm just denying that it *is* a revelation from Allah, because no evidence.

gollark: Didn't he just send an angel or something to dictate it, in Islamic mythology? I guess you could photograph that.

gollark: ... how would you have photographic evidence of god, or something?
