House: Broken
House undergoes treatment for his hallucinations at Mayfield Psychiatric Hospital, and quickly declares himself cured and ready to leave. The doctor in charge, Darryl Nolan, disagrees and forces House to stay by threatening not to recertify his license until he believes House is cured. A battle of wills begins until House draws closer to the sister-in-law of a catatonic patient, endangers another patient, and admits that he actually does need help.

Recap
House goes through several days of detox from Vicodin at the Mayfield Psychiatric Hospital. He finally detoxes and prepares to check himself out since he's there voluntarily. The nurse tells him that she can't check him out and refers him to the presiding physician, Dr. Darryl Nolan. Nolan says that House can go but he needs more treatment than simpler detox. He points out that the Vicodin didn't cause the hallucinations, which started after House lost his father and two colleagues. When House insists on going anyway, Nolan says he'll let him go but won't recertify him to practice medicine. House reluctantly agrees to check himself into the long-term ward...Read the full recap
