Safe
Safe has enough source support for a limited researched draft: public-facing copy can describe the confirmed premise of a teenage heart-transplant patient experiencing severe allergic shock in a clean-room setting, plus the House/Wilson roommate subplot. The reported tick-paralysis solution and detailed diagnostic beats remain hidden pending transcript-level corroboration.
