A severely broken arm reveals a bizarre case of bone loss and ends the comeback plans of major league pitcher Hank Wiggen. House suspects Hank - with a history of drug abuse - is lying about using steroids, as his condition worsens. When Hank's kidneys start to fail, his wife offers to donate hers, but she would have to abort her early pregnancy. Forced into an impossible solution, and admitting failure as an addict, Hank tries to take his own life. House and his team must isolate and fix the problem soon if this pitcher's life, as well his career, can be saved. Meanwhile, Foreman dates a pharmaceutical representative and House is stuck with two tickets and ends up going on a "date" with Cameron...to a monster truck rally
House: "Everybody does stupid things, it shouldn't cost them everything they want in life."
Cuddy: "No, it shouldn't, but it usually does. On the other hand ... it means someone can actually beat the Yankees."
House: "Less money is made by biochemists working on a cure for cancer than by their colleagues struggling valiantly to find ways to hide steroid use."
Cameron: "Do you have to be religious to believe a fetus is a life?"
House: "There seems to be a correlation. "
House: "You see, kidneys don't wear watches. Sure, gallbladders do, but it doesn't matter, 'cause kidneys can't tell time."
