Emancipation

Episode 8 | Season 4  (2008-2009)
(Airdate Nov 18, 2008)

The team takes on the case of a 16-year-old who fell ill when her lungs suddenly filled with fluid. The teenager tells House and team that she is an emancipated minor supporting herself, and has, ever since her parents passed away. The team thinks it could be heart problems, but when Kutner chooses not to follow House's directions, the team finds out that the girl may not be telling them the truth. Meanwhile, Foreman asks House for permission to work on a clinical trial, and is rejected. To prove himself, Foreman takes on his own pediatric case. But when the now solo Foreman brings the child close to death, Foreman must question his ability to work without House.
