Complete story — includes the ending
The team encounters a teenage boy ( Dominic Scott Kay ) who collapsed from severe pelvic pain after playing basketball. The boy was born with a condition called genetic mosaicism ( 46, XX/XY ), or both male and female DNA, and the boy's parents inform House and the team that the boy is unaware of his condition. They chose a gender for him when he was born and raised him accordingly. However, when his condition worsens and his life is threatened, the parents wonder whether they made the right decision. Meanwhile, Cuddy and Wilson suspect something is wrong with House when he starts acting way too nice. Final diagnosis: Kidney dysfunction secondary to dehydration and Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis Absent: Jesse Spencer as Robert Chase, Jennifer Morrison as Allison Cameron
