"I have to go tell a client he's an idiot." "Go kick some ass." "I have to take Stella to karate by 3:00 and a birthday party at Julia's after." "You okay?" "Yeah." "I'II be back."

"This isn't just gonna go away." "No." "But maybe you will." "Probably suffered head trauma in the car accident." "Trauma leads to the dyskinesia." "According to her husband, the flailing started before she got anywhere near that car." "HOUSE:" "What does the flailing look like?" "Her arms spasm uncontrollably and there's a mild facial twitch." "Demonstration?" "You wanna know what it looks like, go see the patient." "Oh, snarky." "Was he like this the whole time I was gone?" "The patient's been on a fertility regimen for the Iast 13 months." "Excess estrogen in the system could explain..." "Who finished the animal crackers?" "Sudden movement disorder could be a symptom of Huntington's." "If you finish something, don't just put back the empty box, throw it out." "Huntington's takes a day to confirm." "We should put her on tamoxifen in case it is the fertility meds, counteract the estrogen." "That's a great idea if you wanna kill her baby." "Movement disorder can present in the first trimester." "She's not pregnant." "Peeing on a stick is only 99% accurate." "Get a real pregnancy test." "You know, the one with the blood and the hormones and the rabbit." "Oh, I'm sorry, it's still your limo."

"It was one kiss." "Are you being intentionally thick?" "This was not just a one-night stand." "You can't toy with him." "I'm not." "He's probably toying with me." "I don't know what I'm doing." "Oh, boy." "Welcome back to the world." "You're off the vecuronium." "Could you wiggle your toes for me?" "The MRI was clear." "Whatever this is, isn't in your brain." "MRI." "So I'm not pregnant?" "CAMERON:" "I'm sorry." "So what do we do next?" "Well, it could be a variety of things, some treatable, others more serious." "Open up." "I'm gonna run a genetic test for Huntington's." "That one of the more serious ones?" "Yeah." "It's also possible that this is just a symptom of the fertility treatments." "And now that we know you're not pregnant, we're gonna start you on tamoxifen to counteract the estrogen." "Will that undo all the fertility treatments?" "For the time being, yeah." "But it could cure you." "You can start trying again once we get you healthy." "Damn it!" "The spasms are gonna get worse now that the vecuronium is wearing off." "What are you so scared of?" "I'm still your mother." "I'm just a Iittle sick." "Why did you even bring her here?" "I told you to leave her at home." "FOREMAN:" "Hypervigilance, sudden irritability." "Symptomatic of lunch with Cuddy?" "The patient now defines Huntington's." "Then what do you need me for?" "Start her on Huntington's meds." "Before we get her test results back?" "We start her on valproic acid, it could destroy her liver." "Could stroke." "If we wait, she could progress to full-blown psychosis, and then her kid will never get the chance to say goodbye." "Wanna tell the class how that feels?" "Huntington's patients don't progress to psychosis in a day." "(PAGER BEEPING) She went from zero to 60 in world record time."

"She's not yours!" "I want my daughter!" "No more experiments!" "No!" "CAMERON:" "How can her Huntington's test be negative?" "FOREMAN:" "AII the signs are there." "Movement disorder, psychosis." "It should be Huntington's." "Yeah." "It would certainly make your job easier." "Well, good news for Margo, it's not Huntington's." "Bad news for us, her psychotic break eliminates fertility meds." "Which means we have no idea what's wrong with her." "We give you so much, and you give us so little." "You know, the patient is prime age to develop spontaneous schizophrenia." "almost impossible." "No family history of mental illness." "How about toxins?" "None of her family members are sick." "Nobody at her office, her volunteer group, kid's classes, and PTA members, all fine." "So she raises a daughter, runs a business, she does charity work, she volunteers at school, attends PTA." "What makes Mommy run?" "You're thinking drugs?" "Cocaine." "Explains the psychosis and the flailing." "And the uncanny ability to bring home the bacon, fry it up in a pan, and never ever let Teddy forget that he's a man." "I'II go look for her stash."

"It's for a patient." "She can't roll." "Hey, I locked that door, too." "Paranoia." "Must be the good stuff." "Times like these, I wish I had cancer." "So what did she say?" "It depends." "What did you do, and who are we talking about?" "We both know that as soon as we talked, you ran to Stacy so you could gossip and giggle." "I need to know what she said." "I have a crazy idea." "Why don't you go talk to her?" "Because my bestest buddy says that could lead to trouble." "She sounds confused, but I don't think she is." "I think she's waiting for you to do something, show her you're serious." "Wow." "It's a big jump from "infidelity is morally wrong" to "do her."" "I didn't say "do her." I said do something." "What exactly did she say?" "She didn't say it was a mistake." "She's not gonna leave Mark in the middle of his rehab." "Too much guilt." "She left you." "Harsh toke, dude." "House." "Killjoy." "I could've covered this." "You need to get that test today." "I wish you guys would remember my birthday instead of my HIV test." "Forgive us for being concerned." "I got a bet with House."

"Mama's little helper." "House, Ritalin." "Cocaine with a PG rating." "Prescribed to her daughter." "Mommy does everything for her family these days, even swallows their pills." "It's possible the kid's meds are the kid's meds." "Pop enough Ritalin, it can explain everything." "Well, Ritalin maybe explains some tics, some involuntary..." "No, case reports have referred to chorea." "She's been cut off from her stash, so the flailing's tapered off, the psychosis hasn't returned." "It's perfect." "Tox screen will confirm that." "Half-Iife's 1 2 hours." "Drugs will be out of her system." "We're done." "Get rid of her." "We're not done." "We have to confirm the diagnosis before we send her home to die of something else." "Oh, yes." "The power tastes so sweet." "You just can't resist." "You're like a diabetic at the ice cream counter." "You wanna say no, but you need that chocolaty goodness." "Yeah, well, I'm still signing the charts." "So until tomorrow, you're not allowed to kill anyone." "Wuss." "We've asked her three times if she's on any meds." "So we don't ask her." "Candy striper."

"Over here, kiddo." "I'm talking to you." "Focus." "Must be because you're off your meds." "Who are you?" "Doctor and candy striper." "She's not on any medication." "HOUSE:" "Well, that's strange." "'Cause this bottle has her name on it." "And I think these are medical pills inside." "What's he talking about?" "The doctor prescribed Stella..." "A few months ago." "I never told you about it, because I never gave her any." "That's funny, 'cause the bottle's almost empty." "You missed a couple of days." "Take five." "Stop." "Why?" "Unless they're not hers." "You need some water, sweetie?" "I'm not taking Ritalin." "Come on." "AII the cool moms are doing it." "And tox screen says you're cool, too." "You were on drugs while taking care of Stella?" "I'm sorry, Ted." "It's a cafeteria menu." "It should take a couple hours to process her." "Then you can take her home and divorce her." "Working late?" "Or are you just avoiding Mark?" "It was one kiss, Greg." "So far." "I'm planning on keeping a chart." "I'm moving back to Short Hills." "I think it's time." "You're leaving?" "It was never meant to be permanent, and now that Mark's getting better..." "Yeah, much better." "Except for the whole walking thing." "He needs to get back to work." "Right." "Saving the next generation from making bad choices about acne cream." "You're running away because the kiss meant something." "I'm not running away." "I'm going home." "With Mark." "I Iove Mark." "You love me more." "I don't want you to leave." "Are we okay?" "I'm sorry." "Let's just get you home." "That's a good idea." "Mommy!" "Hey!" "Call a code!" "What's wrong, Mommy?" "What's going on?"

"That I'm canceling the surgery." "You can do the explaining." "It's tricky, huh?" "It's one thing to say you can't have a baby." "It's another to say you don't want one." "Personally, I'd make up some other lie." "Could..." "Could I die on the table?" "Could you die if you tell him the truth?" "I need this surgery." "I'm not on the pill."

"I'm barely willing to put the seat down after I pee." "Do we need to talk?" "Nope." "I'm fine." "So the surgeon got the whole tumor, and it was benign." "That's good, right?" "Yeah, benign is good." "How could a benign tumor have caused all the symptoms?" "We believe all your wife's symptoms will go away now." "Oh, thank God." "Look, I'm gonna pick up Stella." "I'II call you after I get the babysitter." "Dr. Foreman, you can help me." "You could tell my husband that because of all this," "I can't take any more fertility treatments." "Confidentiality rules stop me from telling your husband the truth." "But my obligation to lie ends there." "Are there..." "Is there a birth control method, something that won't make me sick?"
