Dr. House takes Cuddy's challenge to go off his painkillers for a week but the effects of his withdrawal symptoms may put his patient in danger.
While trying to figure out why a young patient wont won't stop bleeding, House takes Cuddy's challenge and goes off Vicodin in exchange for no clinic duty for a month. If House and his team can't determine the source of his patient's blood loss, the 16-year-old car accident victim will die in a matter of days. As House's withdrawal symptoms become more and more severe, his directives for his patient are more harsh and risky than usual, forcing Foreman and Cameron to fear he may not be thinking clearly enough to save the patient's life.
