Bombshells (House)

"Bombshells" is the fifteenth episode of the seventh season of the American medical drama House. It aired on March 7, 2011.

Plot

A teenager is admitted to the hospital after spitting up blood during a basketball game. Taub also discovers that the boy has been depressed and appears to have been cutting himself. More concern arises when the team breaks into the boy's house and finds his school yearbook with his classmates' faces crossed out and threatening words written about the school. Also, Cuddy finds blood in her urine and undergoes tests for possible kidney cancer, while House grapples with emotionally supporting her, avoiding her, and denying that she is actually sick.

Synopsis

After surgery, Cuddy discovers she had a benign tumour in her kidney. This then leads her to realise that when House came to see her during her illness, he was stoned, as he had taken Vicodin again. Realising that he is unable to open up completely and share the pain that is part of any meaningful relationship, she splits up with him. The episode is concluded with a scene that echoes the the last scene of the previous season's finale (Help Me): House is sitting on his bathroom floor with a bottle of Vicodin in his hand. He expectingly looks at the doorway: it appears he is hoping Cuddy will surprisingly appear as in Help Me and save him. Resigned, he takes the pills.
