Just a really compelling storyline as House is juggling the crisis at the hospital, while simultaneously finding the proverbial needle in said same hay pile! To spite his patient being at ground zero of the event, there is still something more complicated at play and that thing is further exacerbated by her being a minor (apparently according to this the age of 12 is consensual in New Jersey?)
The overall magic of episodes like this however, are less about the illness, and more about how House's brain works (which, arguably, is an illness in and of, itself LOL) and that is always an enjoyable trip.
Oh, and for the record (and I know I'm using 2021 eyes to look back at 2005, but...) that whole Cameron essentially blackmails House into a date is both weird, a bit creepy and even bordering on legit cringey. Just sayin - if all things are to equal - ewwww!
