At the beginning of the season, the main storyline centers around House's temporary lack of pain in his leg due to ketamine treatment after being shot in the previous season finale. Later in the season, he leaves a stubborn patient in an exam room with a thermometer in his rectum. Because House is unwilling to apologize, the patient, police detective Michael Tritter, starts an investigation around House's Vicodin addiction. The third season concluded with a cliffhanger finale, in which House fires Chase, Foreman leaves as he already resigned and doesn't change his mind and Cameron resigns, leaving House without a team for the fourth season. House is forced to respond in court to the criminal charges against him regarding illegal possession of narcotics, and the judge sets a date for a preliminary hearing.

Episode list
House nearly goes to jail, but Cuddy then perjures herself in court to have the charges dismissed. Although the series seemed to settle back into a regular pattern, by the season's end it was clear that the series was going to undergo a fundamental change for Season 4. First came the resignation of Foreman, followed by the departure of the rest of House's team, leaving House to himself and opening the door to bring in new characters.
House and his team face a lot of moral dilemmas when a patient wants them to help him end his life. House is affected by the fact that he thinks he didn't solve the last case while a young boy, who believes aliens tortured him, is brought in. When a pregnant woman has a stroke, the team is at a loss after all tests reveal nothing, but when her organs start shutting down Cuddy takes over the case. House meets his match in the form of Nate (Nick Lane),[57] an obnoxious 16-year-old chess prodigy with intense head pain and behavioral issues, who manages to annoy and offend every member of the team during his course of treatment.
But when her husband collapses, the team believes the couple's illnesses are related. House's newest patient is 18-year-old Jack (Patrick Fugit),[28] brought to the hospital after experiencing a heart attack and massive vomiting. Jack has been the sole parent to his younger brother and sister since their parents died. After a brief review of his file, House thinks he has got the diagnosis, seals it in an envelope and turns the process into a game, challenging Cameron, Foreman and Chase to figure it out on their own.
Emma, who had miscarriages in the past and feels this is her last opportunity to have a child, is more concerned about her baby's well-being than her own. Meanwhile, the secret relationship between Cameron and Chase is exposed to Foreman and Cuddy, and House makes extravagant plans to take a much-needed vacation. A girl (Mika Boorem) with CIPA, a rare condition in which the sufferer cannot feel pain, gets in a car accident. Once her testing is done, she begins developing high fevers with multiple seizures and is rapidly deteriorating. House takes the case of Adam (Braeden Lemasters),[18] a 10-year-old severely autistic boy, who screams loudly for no apparent reason. Cuddy makes a minor change to House's office and he refuses to use it until it is returned to its original state; thus, he finds himself wandering the hospital in need of a temporary office.
Meanwhile, House's reduced access to Vicodin is beginning to take its toll and he asks Cuddy for more, but instead of writing a prescription, she strictly rations his pills. Richard, a husband and father living with brain cancer, drives his wheelchair into a pool at a family BBQ. Everyone but his son think that it was suicide from the pain but House will stop at nothing to figure out his true ailment.
Meanwhile, Foreman's frustration with House reaches a new level when he believes House sabotages his job interview with another hospital. Speculation over Foreman's resignation continues, while a young girl named Addie (Lyndsy Fonseca)[55] is admitted after bleeding from the mouth during martial arts practice and House and Wilson are secretly concerned about each other. A 14-year-old leukemia patient's (Jascha Washington)[52] only hope of survival is a bone marrow transplant from his younger brother (Dabier),[53] but when he gets sick, the team must race against time to save both siblings. Meanwhile, Foreman must deal with the consequences of the previous case. Celebrity photographer Emma Sloan (Anne Ramsay),[44] who is pregnant, is brought to the hospital after suffering a stroke in the middle of a photo shoot. Although Emma's condition initially stabilizes, her health takes a turn for the worse when her kidneys fail.
16-year-old Stevie Lipa (Jake Richardson)[38] is admitted to Princeton-Plainsboro with a serious respiratory condition and internal bleeding. He is assigned to House, but he is busy fulfilling a dare given to him by Cuddy. When it's revealed that Stevie is Romani and the team encounters troubles with his parents, Foreman is forced to ask Stevie to lie directly to his parents, risking his medical license. Stuck with clinic duty, House almost wishes he had the boring patients back after he encounters a young woman with an STD and the need to talk.
When a frustrated House gives up on the boy, Cuddy is forced to re-think her decision to hold back the truth. Work continues normally until Foreman, fearing that he's becoming too much like House, decides he wants to leave the hospital for good. Despite Cuddy and Wilson imploring House to get Foreman to stay, House instead fires Chase for no reason and then Cameron decides to quit as well, leaving House without a team to help him.
Meanwhile, Ali (Leighton Meester), the teenage daughter of a clinic patient, has developed a disturbing crush on House. Seven-year-old Clancy (Skyler Gisondo)[15] is admitted to the hospital with rectal bleeding, claiming alien abduction. The team runs tests, but when they get inconsistent and contradictory results from the same tests, in addition to finding a metal object in his neck, they are forced to give Clancy's testimony a little more credence.
