Didn't see House.  What happened to cause the possible losing of dinner?

The episode did have a whole parental thing going on. Didn't
concentrate on it as I'm not a parent. They usually don't delve that
much into a characters personal life. I don't really like shows that
do it to a detriment.

House on the other hand kinda pissed me off, that last scene was
pulling the dinner from my stomach. I almost threw my remote at the
wall. I really don't need uplifting shit on my TV. Entertain me, if
i want to cry I'll watch Titanic.
