Kids is a first season episode of House which first aired on May 3, 2005.
Recap
At a swimming and diving meet, one of the judges collapses.
Cameron is enjoying being away from the hospital when House drops by to tell her that Vogler is no longer chairman of the hospital. He asks her to go back, but Cameron resists. All of a sudden, House is paged to come to the hospital to deal with an epidemic. He tells Cameron she's a good doctor, but she says that's not a good enough reason to come back.
House arrives at the hospital, which is dealing with an outbreak of virulent bacterial meningitis that could have affected 2500 people at the pool. Cuddy insists that House help out, even though he resists. While House diagnoses the meningitis, he also diagnoses all the other problems the patients have.
House comes across a 12 year old diver. He notices her neck is stiff, but only from side to side. House finds Foreman and Chase to discuss the diver, who has a non-meningitis rash and fever. Cuddy intercepts the team, but she agrees to give them an hour to work on the diver. He orders Chase to do research and Foreman to test her for meningitis in case that he is wrong. Foreman can't find anyone to help with a lumbar puncture, so he has to do it himself with the help of the patient's coach.
The tests show she doesn't have meningitis, but they have no idea what is causing her symptoms. All of a sudden, Foreman notices blood in her mouth.
It turns out that the blood is coming from her digestive tract. They stick a camera down her esophagus and into her stomach, but find no bleeding. They give her a camera in pill form to swallow to check her intestines. They do find a small bleed, but that doesn't explain all her symptoms. All of a sudden, Cuddy comes in to get them to help with the meningitis outbreak. Cuddy reminds House that he cost the hospital $100 million by forcing out Vogler.
House is forced to go back to testing meningitis patients. He finds one faking and sends her to the psych ward.
Wilson discusses how House is treating Chase for betraying him to Vogler. House says he has no intention of firing Chase, just making him miserable. Cuddy comes by to tell House he has an interview with someone to replace Cameron.
Foreman is looking for somewhere private to perform a bone marrow biopsy on the diver. Foreman finally has to take her down to the morgue.
The interviewee is a Johns Hopkins graduate with long hair who plays blues in a band. However, House blows him off because his tattoo makes House think the interviewee is a fake non-conformist. He points to Wilson's pocket protector to show the interviewee a person who really doesn't care what other people think about him.
Foreman tells the diver it probably isn't cancer. At that moment, she has an absence seizure.
The team meets in the men's bathroom to get away from Cuddy. The patient's symptoms are getting worse. They suggest he might have been poisoned. They need to do a CT Scan, but all the machines are busy. Chase suggests a cranial ultrasound, and House sends Foreman to do the procedure and Chase to complete the research.
The next interviewee is an attractive woman who speaks four languages. They trade Jewish jokes. House rejects her - her shoes were stylish, which means she cares more about her looks than her comfort. Wilson points out House needs someone who can handle pain.
Foreman performs ultrasound on the patient's head. House and Wilson argue about the applicants House is rejecting. Wilson points out House blew it with Cameron and every woman he's ever been with.
The tox screens show nothing. House asks Cuddy for a neurosurgeon because his patient is bleeding into her brain. Cuddy agrees. They perform surgery to reduce the bleeding and the pressure on her head. Finally, the patient's parents show up, but Foreman still doesn't have any answers for them.
The team goes back to trying to figure out what is wrong with the patient. House tells them to focus on what information they do know. He knows they are missing something. House starts focussing on the rash and asks if any of the male competitors have visited her. The female competitors have, but none of the males. Chase figures the males are avoiding her. House orders Chase to check her blood, and he finds that the patient hasn't really got a rash - she is bleeding into her skin. The only possible cause that they haven't eliminated is pregnancy. House goes to tell the patient she's pregnant. The pregnancy is causing her blood to clot and be shredded by the clot - a rare complication. She admits she experimented with intercourse. He tells her they have to terminate the pregnancy and treat her blood for antibodies. He agrees not to tell her parents because he has an ethical duty not to. House goes to tell the parents she will be fine, but refuses to tell them what the underlying cause is.
The patient is treated and improves. She asks to see her parents. She tells them about the pregnancy and they embrace her.
The epidemic ends and House starts interviewing another candidate. He tells the candidate the position has been filled. He goes back to Cameron and tells her he needs her to keep him in his place. Cameron tells him she has another position. House tells her he wants her to come back. She says that's not good enough. She says he has to take her out on a date. House agrees.
