Plot summary
House and the team take on the case of Alice (Alyssa Shafer), a young girl with pancreatitis. Since her divorced parents cannot agree on how to proceed with her treatment and will not let House bully them into making a decision, House's only option is to take them to court and let a judge rule on the matter. Meanwhile, House's reduced access to Vicodin is beginning to take its toll and he asks Cuddy for more, but instead of writing a prescription, she strictly rations his pills. Final diagnosis: Erythropoietic protoporphyria
