HOUSE EPISODE RECAP
"INSTANT KARMA"

airdate: October 12, 2009
written by ---
directed by ---

Synopsis: A wealthy businessman brings his teenage son, who is suffering from inexplicable stomach pains, to Princeton Plainsboro and insists on having Dr. House handle the case. The father of the patient believes the karmic penalty of his financial success is that he is victim to personal tragedy, and that the answer to his son’s medical mystery lies in a reverse of fate rather than medical treatment. Meanwhile, Foreman and Chase prepare to present information on the Dibala case.

  • Brave Heart: The team takes on the case of a reckless police detective who has a family history of sudden heart failure that killed his father, grandfather and great-grandfather all at age 40.

Meanwhile, Chase is haunted by his actions in the DiBala case, and House confronts some ghosts of his own.

She didn't like Dibala when she met him, but do you think she'll let Chase off the hook for "killing" him?
