In House season 6 episode 2, titled "Epic Fail," the central theme revolves around a patient named Hannah, who is admitted with a rare case of blackouts and memory loss. As Dr. House and his team make efforts to diagnose the condition, they begin to uncover certain truths about Hannah's personal life that could lead to the correct diagnosis.
The episode opens with Hannah collapsing in the middle of a park while on a jog. After being rushed to the hospital, she is examined by Dr. House, who quickly realizes that Hannah has no recollection of the last three days. She cannot remember anything from the day of her collapse to the point of diagnosis.
At first, the team is unable to come up with any clues as to the cause of Hannah's memory loss and recurring blackouts. However, as they dig deeper into her personal life, they slowly begin to piece together some vital information. Meanwhile, Dr. House is struggling with his own issues, including withdrawal symptoms from his Vicodin addiction and an unrequited crush on his new therapist, Dr. Darryl Nolan.
After a series of tests and examinations, the team concludes that Hannah's condition may have been caused by a recent traumatic event. They focus their efforts on trying to identify any such event, but Hannah is unable to remember anything, which makes their task challenging. They continue to investigate her lifestyle, relationships, and work environment to look for possible causes.
In the meantime, Dr. House is experimenting with various means to treat his addiction. He tries to remove himself from his usual sources of drugs, but continues to struggle with detoxing. On the other hand, Dr. Nolan remains concerned about House's well-being and their professional relationship.
As the investigation progresses, some shocking facts about Hannah's personal life come to light. The team discovers that she has been using a lot of drugs to cope with the pain of losing her fiancé to a car accident and is also under financial pressure due to the high medical bills. This revelation helps them to narrow down possible diagnoses for her and they come up with a treatment plan.
However, things do not go according to plan, and Hannah's condition deteriorates rapidly. The team fears they may have missed some critical clues and are forced to revisit their investigation. Meanwhile, Dr. House is still finding it hard to control his urges and is forced to have a heart-to-heart conversation with Dr. Nolan.
The episode culminates with a shocking revelation, followed by a race against time to save Hannah's life. As the team finally arrives at a diagnosis, they must act fast to give her the right treatment. Whether they will be successful in saving Hannah or not is something only time will tell.
