House and Chase are in a bit of trouble after one of his female patients dies because Chase forgot to ask one question.
Kayla was watching her two little daughters perform for the talent show when all of a sudden, she was having sharp stomach pain. In the middle of the girl's routine, she started screaming out in pain. After being rushed to the hospital, Dr. House was in his office discussing the diagnosis with his team of doctors, however he couldn't open a bottle. He asked Chase to open it, and told Forman to do a test on the patient. Although, Chase spilled the pills everywhere, and Dr. House then told Chase to run the test. Chase successfully did the test, but when Kayla came back for a test on her arm, Chase wasn't interested. He has just got a call telling him that his father just died from lung cancer. Chase says that he just saw his father two months ago but he didn't tell him that he only had two months left to live. Distracted by this news, Chase misdiagnosed Kayla when she says that she took the medicine and her stomach still hurts. Instead of going into an exam room and making sure she was ok, Dr. Chase assumed that the disease was stronger than they thought, and gave her a prescription for stronger antacids.
However she had bleeding stomach ulcers from taking too many ibuprofens and with it going misdiagnosed it got worse. When she showed up at the hospital again, she was vomiting blood, so Chase and Forman send a camera down to her stomach to see what was going on. They then find the ulcer, but the contents of her stomach, with the infection had already spewed into the rest of her body. Therefore, the danger of this was fatal, and she was rushed to the "OR". It damaged her kidney and liver which caused her brother to give half his liver to her. House had to blackmail the best transplant surgeon to do the surgery for Kayla and her brother. However, he had his medical testing done by a lab tech that he paid to say that his liver was clean. Although, he has Hepatitis C from getting a tattoo, which caused Kayla to have liver cancer. She died later at her home, and her brother was furious, thinking it was Chase's fault. This is when the lawsuit came into play. Stacey, House's ex-wife, is the attorney of the hospital and this is when the brother decided to sue Chase.
The committee of doctors suspended Chase for a week to get his life back into place. As for House, they are allowing Dr. Cuddy to provide a doctor to supervise Dr. House at all times. When Dr. House shows back up in his office, to his surprise Dr. Foreman is his new supervisor.
