A disciplinary committee convenes to determine whether either of them is at fault. Stacy must question both of them to prepare for the hearing. Chase's original error is due to distraction by receiving news that his father has died, just as the mother walked in for her initial examination; the committee rules that Chase be suspended for one week.

House and Stacy's flight is delayed so they spend more time together. They exchange a kiss but House gets distracted with deciphering the journalist's speech remotely.
