Baby in a Corner

Wilson runs outside after House, refusing to do his dirty work for him. House doesn't think Wilson will actually abandon a child. Wilson starts his car as if to show that he is ready, willing, and able to use it to get out of there. House starts his motorcycle. They stare at each other, and finally, Wilson breaks down and turns the car off. He can't leave Rachel alone after all. He says he'll call a "baby-sitting service" (like a baby-sitter's club? Awesome) to come and take care of Rachel and then he'll tell on House to Cuddy. Wait a second ... why didn't Cuddy just call that baby-sitting service in the first place? Ultimately, House agrees to stay with Rachel if Wilson does, too. They return to the house to find that in their two-minute absence, Rachel got into the bag of Chinese food and threw it all over the living room. And she isn't even eating any of the food, but a quarter, which Wilson ends up having to fish out of her mouth. House asks Rachel if she ate any other coins. Rachel doesn't answer, but awesomely looks from House to Wilson and back again.

In surgery, Chase doesn't even have time to fix the baby's liver before her blood pressure drops. Pediatrician/NICU/Neo-natal surgeon Dr. Cheng is on hand to assist, but even though she thinks of a drug they can administer that will raise the baby's BP, it's still not enough and Foreman orders them to close. Outside the OR, Foreman says their Caroli's syndrome diagnosis must have been wrong, since it would not have caused the baby's BP to drop like that. Wow, good thing they nearly killed her with a surgery to correct a condition SHE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE. Foreman and Chase think of possible diagnoses, while Taub thinks about hiring Dr. Cheng. Well, I guess that's easy enough. Just pick the first female doctor you see and call it a day. I don't know why he didn't just grab poor Dr. Christina Fraser on her way out, though, and offer her the job again. House wouldn't even have to know; he never saw her face. They'll just tell him that this new doctor is named Dr. Fristina Chraser and tell her to disguise her voice a little bit. Chase suggests pumping the baby up with a bunch of drugs to treat to vascular problems they now think she has, and while Foreman calls House for his opinion, Taub asks Chase for his on Dr. Cheng. Chase just shrugs, saying it doesn't really matter how good Dr. Cheng is; House is going to hate her. Taub says if he can make House think hiring Dr. Cheng was his idea, they might be able to make it work. Why does he care so much anyway? I think he just wants House to hire someone shorter than he is.
