Plot summary
House informs Chase and Foreman that Cameron quit. A pregnant woman ( Marin Hinkle ) arrives at the hospital with brain and kidney problems and House must contend with her condition and Vogler's eagerness to see the doctor removed by using the board members. The patient and her husband must decide between her life and their unborn child's, after the team discovers small cell lung cancer. Vogler proposes that the board revoke House's tenure and fire him but Wilson opposes. Vogler then proposes that the board remove Wilson, which they do, to which Wilson resigns.
At the following meeting, Cuddy responds to Vogler's proposal by asserting that he too is out of control and the board members are subservient to his desires. Four other board members agree causing Vogler to leave as chairman and revoke his $100 million donation. The team celebrates Vogler's departure with champagne as Cuddy reminds House this conflict was unnecessary but caused by his temperament. At the clinic, a malnourished baby is presented to House with pneumonia. The parents are arrested and charged with child endangerment under the assumption it was caused by their and the baby's vegan diet. The charges are revoked after a CT scan reveals the baby has DiGeorge syndrome, causing the malnourishment. Final diagnosis: LEMS secondary to small cell lung carcinoma
