House barges in when the mother refuses gallbladder surgery; she holds her ground as the parent.
At an emergency guardianship hearing House swears the child might die, and Cuddy admits he is a jerk who knows his stuff.
Faced with a scratch test showing allergy to everything, House feeds the girl a sandwich and orders broad-spectrum antibiotics.
With the parents flipping sides, the judge gives guardianship to Cuddy, who overrules House and picks one narrow antibiotic.
House suspects someone gave the girl aspirin; the parents blame each other and a teenage babysitter.
