So many problems with this one. The "teenage supermodel" is said to be 15 yrs old. Well, guess what? She isn't all that attractive, certainly not "supermodel" territory. And, more obviously and crazily, the 15 year old looks like she is 25. 15? Seriously? Big GONG!
2nd GONG! Her dad looks maybe 10, maybe 12 yrs older than the supermodel. GONG! Horrific casting.
The story itself is just too convoluted and House does not act like House, which blah blah, leg pain.
On the positive side, I guess House's ex was not in this one. Yay! Some have far far too much time with House and his ex. Geez. That is the weakest on-going story-line in this show. I was skipping around Season 2 episodes. It seems like maybe 6 episodes earlier (in the airport) and in this they said House had "made her leave".

Easily the dumbest and most disturbing episode I've seen so far. I'm surprised to see the show dip so early on.
There should be at least some minimum level of medical believability to make it to air. Here there is none -though it attempts to pander to goofy fringe agendas apparently.
If House can't pull itself out of the gutter and attempt to create reasonable and realistic crises the show, we're going have to plug on it. People with the slightest medical backgrounds are groaning over this type of trash.
It takes so very little these days to make it on a scripted show. TV is becoming a mindless format if this episode is any indication.

Real-life model Cameron Richardson plays a teen model who exhibits aggressive behavior and collapses on a runway during a fashion show. From there, it's all downhill in an episode that allows House to fully acknowledge his lecherous side. Surprise after surprise awaits the team, as the model goes from bad to worse both in body and mind. Richardson is extremely fetching as the sickly waif who may not be all she appears. For the astute viewer, the ultimate revelation will have been guessed halfway through. Still, a good show and no harm done. House's leg pains appear to be increasing, which will lead in coming episodes to a Holmesian solution, if you Sherlock Holmes fans out there get my drift. It is worth nothing this episode gets about as close to nudity as this series is ever likely to, and this gratifying display of flesh is put on by none other than Richardson, in a moment of angry confrontation with House.
I mean I love house but this show wouldn't have survived in 2021. There was no way for this many problematical comments to be just ignored.
The actress playing a 17 year old, was 27 when this episode aired.
Just makes it not believable at all.
