Yeah, I hadn’t really cared for her character prior to this ep. After last night, I’ve found a soft spot for her. You remember the scene where she was in the locker room, subtly rocking back in forth? Yeah, I lost it right there. 
First of all, thank god for Google Image Search.
Secondly, I’m not loving the trend of these eps focusing more on the conflict and relationships between the team. I much preferred when the episodes revolved around figuring out what the dirty little secrets the patients had and what the twist ending would be.
So far the best episodes were the Three Patients one about Houses leg and the one with the guy who gave his wife the STD at the end leading to her accident, death and eventual organ donation. Each used the drama between the docs as an accent instead of the primary focal point and their individual reactions to the patients were how it exhibited.
I wondered about the end with Cameron in the chapel. She’s been quite vocal about how she’s an atheist. Somehow I don’t see this patient turning her toward a religious faith.

The speculation on one of the forums I read is that the chapel was one of the few places she could go where (a) she could think in peace, (b) nobody would likely look for her (considering that the fact that she’s an atheist isn’t a secret).
Could someone spoil this for me? Who is she, how did they meet up? What’s happened between them so far??
She’s the daughter of one of House’s clinic patients. She’s 17, and apparently has the hots for House. This is the first ep she’s appeared in–House thus far seems ambiguous about her, and she’ll be back in next week’s ep. Her red thong provided him with the inspiration to save this week’s patient. She gave him a calendar (“Fresno by Night”–she and her dad had recently visited Fresno) with “6 months and counting!” written across one of the months, indicating when she’ll be 18.
Er…to *diagnose * this week’s patient, anyway. 
How plausible is it that a 40-ish-year-old guy takes his 17-year-old daughter into the exam room with him for a cold?
I’ve taken my dad (in his 50’s) to see the doc many times - sometimes when he could barely walk - and it was never even suggested that I could accompany him.
Is this a real big stretch of writing to get this girl and House hooked up, or is my family really weird when it comes to not going to the exam room together?
Or is she just that much of a whore that the dad doesn’t trust her on her own in a hospital (or at home - he brought her to get his meds later on) for 20 minutes?
She was the daughter of a clinic patient. She was flirting with House while he examined her dad. She later ran into him again in the hospital lobby and started flirting with him again. House tried to blow her off and then she told him she’d be legal in six months. At the end of the episode, House got a calander from her with day marked and some kind of note about “Six more months.”
House has not crossed any boundaries yet. The most he’s done is stare at her ass when she was walking away. He hasn’t really flirted back and to the degree he’s responded at all, he’s discouraged it.
Probably a little unusual, but I rationalized it like this: Dad and daughter were in the car together and stopped to get the check up. Maybe he picked her up from school, maybe he doesn’t trust her at home alone, whatever. Once in the hospital they sent him into the waiting room to wait for the always late House. Maybe the nurse said it’d be a while and the daughter just tagged along for company while they waited. Maybe there isn’t much of a lobby waiting room in that hospital, can’t say I’ve seen one, and her going in was simply convienent. Either way, I didn’t get the impression that she was there for support or any kind of assistance. She just happened to be hanging out and since the malady wasn’t of an embarrassing nature it didn’t feel like too much of a stretch to me.
What was the connection between the girl’s thong, and House’s leap of insight?
The thong was red.
Congo Red was the dye House needed to use to diagnose the disease.
Quite a leap, eh? What if he hadn’t seen her butt floss at all?
