While house was looking at some scans in his office, Cuddy came to break the news about the pay cut.
"Our hospital is running low on money," explained Cuddy. "We didn't want to fire anyone so we decided to cut the raise."
"And how many raises are you cutting?" House asked her since she didn't know about the raise he was giving to Chase and Foreman.
"One, Yours." Cuddy Said.
"That's where you're wrong. Chase and Foreman were getting a raise with my raise." House said looking very smart.
"Well you will break the news to them because I'm only cutting off your raise so if you wanted to give them a raise you still can," Cuddy said back.
Then she went back to her office with House just sitting there puzzled of what she had just said.
Meanwhile Cameron was still worried about the surgery she was meant to do. House was too. He had no idea if he could do it. Cameron was feeling a bit better but again she didn't want to take the chances of falling. She looked at her watch and said:
"3 hours more and House will be doing the surgery," she sighed. Cameron wanted to do the surgery herself.
Chase and Foreman were looking at some scans of Charlie and Chase spotted some thing in his throat.
"Hold on, what's that," He said pointing to a mysterious black dot in Charlie's throat.
"We've got to get this scan to house!" Foreman said.
But apparently, House already knew and he came rushing down the hall to them and he bumped into Foreman since he was doing the same.
"Watch it," House said. "There is some sort of black blob in his throat."
"We know, that's why you bumped into Foreman, he came to tell you," Chase explained.
"Maybe we should scan Cameron to see if she has it," Foreman suggested.
"No, Charlie is in a much worse position than her. It's probably not even the legionaries' disease," House replied.
"I guess so. But we should still scan her just in case." Foreman said.
The surgery is in 2 hours now. What will happen?
