Ep 9. Last Resort

In House season 5 episode 9, titled "Last Resort," the team at Princeton-Plainsboro is tasked with treating a young woman named Hannah, who has been admitted to the hospital after collapsing at her Navy officer husband's retirement ceremony. Hannah is suffering from unexplained symptoms, including liver failure, and House and his team are eager to solve the medical mystery.

As they begin their investigation, House becomes convinced that Hannah's husband, Keith, is somehow involved in her illness. Keith is a Navy SEAL who recently returned from a mission in Iraq, and House suspects that he may have brought a virus back with him that is responsible for Hannah's condition.

As the team delves deeper into the case, tensions run high and emotions start to run wild. Foreman clashes with House over the treatment plan, while Taub becomes increasingly suspicious of Keith's motives. Meanwhile, Cameron tries to convince House to take a more empathetic approach with Hannah, who is struggling to cope with the possibility that she may never recover.

Despite the team's best efforts, Hannah's condition worsens and she must be put on a transplant list for a new liver. A potential donor is found, but time is running out. House and his team must work quickly to determine whether Hannah's illness is contagious, and whether Keith poses a threat to those around him.

In the end, House and his team are able to solve the medical mystery and save Hannah's life, but not without a few unexpected twists and turns along the way. "Last Resort" is a gripping episode that showcases the complex relationships and fierce dedication of the team at Princeton-Plainsboro, as they work tirelessly to solve even the most challenging medical cases.
