Chase tells House if she is allergic, the antibiotics could make her even worse. House says no way. Chase tries to take the antibiotics, but House stops him and tells him to grow a backbone tomorrow. But after seeing this, now Dad won't let House give the antibiotics. So it's back to the judge once more.
The judge can't believe House is back again. Just yesterday he was arguing that the Mom shouldn't be allowed to make decisions about her kid; today he's arguing that the dad is unfit. About that, House says he was hoping he'd get a different judge. Fortunately, the judge agrees with House that the parents are unfit to make a decision. Unfortunately, she doesn't feel that House is fit to make a decision either. So she awards guardianship to Cuddy. Whawhawha? The first decision Cuddy makes is to ignore House's advice and use just one specific antibiotic. Not a wise choice.
If you help me, I'll make sure you get free mani/pedis for life.
Meanwhile, DMo Popo is badgering Foreman. He tells the cop that he hopes no one dies while he's sitting there not talking to him. Trigger brings up Foreman's brother, who's in jail for drugs. "If I run out for coffee," Foreman asks, "will I get back before you make your point?" Okay, if Foreman testifies against House, DMo Popo will see to it that his brother is released in two months. Foreman doesn't care, though; they grew up in the same home, but his brother is a loser. DMo Popo says Foreman is just as cold as House. Other things Foreman is as cold as: ice.
Cuddy tells the parents that the antibiotic is working, so she thinks Alice is going to be okay. To celebrate, the parents start arguing again about how much they hate each other. Geez you two, just get a room. Even though she's asleep, Alice's heart starts racing and Cuddy kicks them out before they give her an anxiety attack.
The next morning, Chase tells Foreman that DMo Popo finally froze his accounts too. Foreman thinks that means Chase is going to talk now, because he's a little Australian bitch. In the middle of their argument, Mom comes in and wants to know where Alice is. Her room is empty, and her backpack is gone. Oh crap, that means Dad must have kidnapped her. Chase runs to get security, and then runs into Dad, who's bringing Alice back. As soon as they got outside, she got a stiffy. Weird.
While that's going on, House is berating Cuddy's decision to skip the broad-spectrum antibiotics that he recommended. On top of that, she won't give any more pills. So while the team is looking to him for answers, he's looking to Cuddy for pills. Me, I'm looking to Cuddy for my spank sock.
Cuddy tells House he can have all the aspirin he wants, but no more Vicodin. Bitch. Suddenly, House gets that weird look in his eye, and limps out of the room. In the hallway, he asks the parents which one gave Alice an aspirin. Because now he thinks that she has Reye's Syndrome. I don't know what that is, and I'm too apathetic to look it up, but House says that one aspirin could tank her brain and liver, so I'm inclined to believe it's serious. Both parents deny giving her an aspirin, but Edie says that maybe the babysitter could've done it. Sure, blame the babysitter. I bet that's why all the vodka in your liquor cabinet has been replaced with water, too. No wait, that was me.
House tells Cuddy to put Alice on charcoal briquettes. If nothing else, she'll smell like mesquite in the morning. Since he (thinks) he figured out the problem, he tells Cuddy to give him some more pills. She pulls the bottle of her coat pocket and gives him two more. So, how long will it be before House tries to bang Cuddy, just so that coat will be on his floor? That's what I'd do.

My Super Sweet 16 is one of those shows that I laugh it even as I cringe in horror.
"Chase went down with just one punch from a skinny cripple. That's sad. Steve Erwin would be so disappointed, if he hadn't have gone down with one punch himself."
you are a sick puppy cg (get it? -- puppy?!)
I really should watch this show...

Thanks copygodd, I needed this recap. Not because I watch House (I don't) but because it was so witty. And clever- you even worked in a Shakespeare reference!
So will the parents sue House for removing Alice's perfectly good gallbladder?
Here's my brother's version of what happens at the 51 minute mark:
House- "Wait a minute, I was on drugs, she just has a cold".
Everyone else- "Wow, he's such a great doctor".

Is anyone else tired of the writers' efforts to "expand" the show each year?
Every year they come up with a dead-end, tired plot line they can put the B-story on (rich, obnoxious guy taking over, trying to fire House; ex-girlfriend of House; this year's retaliatory cop). None of these stories have anywhere to go (obviously, House wasn't going to be fired; he's obviously not going to spend the next 10 years (or even 10 weeks) in prison or lose his license to practice), so there's no real jeopardy.
They should spend more time trying to change up the "I'm sure this is what's wrong -- oops we damn near killed the patient -- I'm playing Nintendo and come up with the answer out of the blue at the 52 minute mark" arc that the show has every week.
House is a very entertaining character and very well-played, but eventually, the formula's going to be played out.

I really love the fact that everyone loves House, but thinks DMo is an asshole. In this episode, both their initial conversations with Cuddy were shockingly similar, if not the same. I, in fact, love this story arc, merely for the fact that no one seems to ever pick up on the fact that House's nemesis is House, but with a gun. Who wants to bet that Wilson gives some stupid excuse, and DMo's head explodes at the sheer stupidity, and WIlson has sex with the now empty spinal column? That would be a satisfying conclusion of this arc... Imagine if they became each other's rehab sponsors in exchange for dropping the charges, and an apology from House, that would make a great Halloween episode.

I have to say I never thought I would get there, but I didn't even watch this episode. My girlfriend and I were so tired of the whole David Morse arc that we decided to rely on copygodd's great recap. Thanks for keeping us up to date, I hope the season gets better soon.

A My Super Sweet 16 marathon? I don't know if any of you have ever watched that show or not, but after catching just a couple episodes last year, I think I understand why the terrorists hate us
HAHAHAHAH I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU
