Corrected entry: When House gets called back into work by Cameron it is almost midnight, as stated by Cameron. House then goes up on the roof, where the sun is shown either setting or rising. He then goes back down to his team and checks his watch to note when midnight occurs and Foreman's four weeks in charge are over. This episode takes place in the days directly following last week's episode, which was set during winter (complete with a heavy snowstorm). In winter the sun neither sets nor rises around midnight.

Correction: Given that hospitals are open on a 24 hour basis, House is likely calculating the end of the 4 weeks as being the start of the morning shift on the 29th day. He comes in at midnight, some time passes, sees the sun rise from the roof, then the 28th day ends. No problem. BTW, the sun never rises or sets near midnight in Princeton, New Jersey so proving that it was winter is overkill..
