While driving a car with her husband Sean, the pregnant Naomi Randolph collapses and is moved to House's hospital. Edward Vogler is forcing the dismissal of House, pressing the board with his investment of one hundred million dollars in the hospital. The team finds that Naomi has small-cell lung cancer, needing to be submitted to radiation, but she refuses the caesarean section and the treatment to give a better chance of survival to the baby. Meanwhile, the baby of a young couple is losing weight, and House finds that the baby is being fed by the vegetarian parents only with a vegan diet. The direction of the hospital calls the social service and the police and the parents are arrested.
"Babies & Bathwater" was released in Brazil as a "special gift" for buyers of DVDs like me with the title "Pilot Episode", as a means of promoting this show. This episode is very realistic and too technical, but even non-expert in medicine are able to understand the illness and the recommended treatment. In spite of being not familiarized with the series, the situations and the characters are interesting for those that may like dramas in hospital. My vote is eight.
