Ep 10. Histories

In the season 1, episode 10 of House, titled "Histories," we see the team trying to diagnose a patient with no obvious symptoms. The episode begins with a group of women participating in a charity race. One of them, a young woman named Rebecca Adler, suddenly collapses and is rushed to the hospital. The team, led by Dr. Gregory House, takes on her case.

Rebecca is in her mid-20s and seemingly healthy, but she begins to exhibit strange symptoms. She has difficulty breathing and appears to be choking on something, but there’s nothing in her throat. Dr. House and his team start running a series of tests, but they find nothing that would explain her condition. Meanwhile, Rebecca’s condition continues to deteriorate.

In order to get to the root of the problem, Dr. House and his team dig into Rebecca’s medical history to try to find any clues. They discover that she suffered from fainting spells several years prior, which were diagnosed as an anxiety disorder. However, Dr. House is skeptical of this diagnosis and thinks there may be something more to it.

As the team continues to test Rebecca, they begin to suspect that she may have been poisoned. They find traces of a toxic substance in her system, leading them to believe that someone may have intentionally caused her illness. The list of suspects starts to grow, including Rebecca’s husband and the other women who participated in the charity race.

Throughout the episode, we see flashbacks of Rebecca’s life before she became ill. Through these flashbacks, we learn more about her personal relationships and her struggles with anxiety and depression. We also see the role that Dr. House plays in her diagnosis and treatment.

In the end, the team finally discovers the cause of Rebecca’s illness and is able to treat her. However, the diagnosis leads to a shocking revelation that has consequences for the team and Rebecca’s loved ones.

Overall, episode 10 of House’s first season, "Histories," is a suspenseful and emotional episode that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats. The storyline is well-developed, and the flashback scenes add depth to the characters and their relationships. Dr. House’s wit and sarcasm provide moments of humor throughout the episode, while his dedication to uncovering the truth shows his softer side.
