A college student (Skylar Astin) is admitted with dizziness and nosebleeds but the team soon discovers that he hears his dead brother's voice, and they must try to decide which of his symptoms are psychological in nature. Meanwhile, House and Wilson deal with the fact that the cancer treatment failed; Wilson decides to stop further treatment and die with dignity, while House's pranks inadvertently violate his court probation, which leaves him inevitably facing incarceration well past Wilson's final months.

Yes, in the end, his job which was his life purpose not just his career was put behind! House knew that without his job he would have no purpose in life, those medical puzzles where the ones keeping him alive! He said it many times that he feared the day that those no longer worked and he would end up in a very dark place.The day came when he found that his love for his friend was more important than his job and he sacrificed everything for Wilson.He learned how to be totally selfless and according to him "people don't change' so I guess he was always that way!.

You mean one of the show cringiest, sappiest lines from the worst actor and character in the show. A line that unfortunately has been repeated verbatim throughout the show, and makes no sense coming from characters like Park, who don't know house for a long time. It also makes no sense in general, because House never searched for the "truth". He just liked solving brain puzzles. Finding what's wrong with a person hardly qualifies as "the truth". In the contrary his life, his view of other people (everybody lies) and his relationships were filled with lies and deceit. His very attempt to convince Wilson to do chemo is house being in denial about death. About not wanting to spend your last days soggy and nauseous and about his supposed inability to live life without Wilson.

[@Destroyer2150]

Unfortinely, House didn't want to take away his chronic pain when Cuddy agreed on the Methadome treatment. In those episodes, he felt different. His though process is: "The pain is what makes who I am." It's what have molded his personality, attitude and brutal honesty towards everyone. It's something he hates, but it is also something he doesn't know how to live without it

you cant die with dignity, only live with it

[@duffman18]

​@@Petar321_GT forcing someone you care about to be alive as long as possible, going through torturous pain from the illness and the treatment of that illness, just because you don't want to be sad when they die, is one of the most unbelievably selfish things you can do. People don't owe you their living. People are allowed to die in a quick and painless way when they have a terminal illness instead of waiting for it to kill them slowly and painfully. How incredibly selfish and self-centered and entitled is that? If you really cared about them, you'd want them to avoid pain and suffering as much as possible. Keeping someone alive through literal torture just because you'll be sad when they die and so you want to extend their suffering as much as possible, means you don't really genuinely care about them. You just care about what they are to you, what they do for you, what you can gain from them. Their life and existence isn't all about making you happy and propping you up emotionally whenever you're having a bad time but then not giving the same thing back to them when they need it. So you'll be sad when they die. Why does that give you the right to force them to live through torture? If you really cared about them, you'd let them be at peace, and pain free, and death is the only way for them to get that at that point. Not allowing euthanasia is barbaric. Centuries from now people will look back on us as savages for not allowing people to die painlessly when they choose to. They'll think we're maniacs. And we are. Euthanasia should be free and available to everyone dying of a terminal illness.

I like how Taub gets spooked at first then immediately understands whats going on as soon as House starts to yell, then signals with his eyes the people behind him, making House realize where he's at, like Taub understood House lost himself in the tought of pain.

I'm not sure that's what Taub was doing. House knew where he was; he didn't care. It's not like he was saying anything he didn't say every day to everyone he could.

And that's OK up to a point. But it's Wilson's right to decide what he will/will not accept.

[@LilVukie]

I find it interesting to contrast House’s reaction to 13 dying/her having Huntington’s when he says, “I’ll kill you”, versus Wilson’s wanting to die, or rather, his submission to cancer. Yes, there are differences. 13 is a certain death which has not begun, which is in contrast to Wilson’s extremely high likelihood of death but practically speaking almost as certain; but the difference in his reaction really shows how much he cares about Wilson, how much he needs him. House certainly likes 13, perhaps even loves her to an extent, but he acts as can not survive without Wilson. He is the most important person in House’s life, and when that part of him is fading away, he finally breaks down and loses it. Even when thinking about his reaction to losing Cuddy or Stacy, they can’t seem to match up to Wilson for House. Wilson is just that special. It’s really beautiful

[@ihave3heads]

The context is different. Huntington's is incurable and at the point where House would kill her, she would be living a life, which by her own words, is not one she wants to live. If Wilson were hypothetically able to beat the cancer, then his quality of life would probably be decent enough. Killing 13 is not a matter of House being callous, not caring about 13, and caring about Wilson more, even though he does care for Wilson more. He wouldn't kill 13 if she was in the exact same situation as Wilson. If Wilson had Huntington's and asked, House would kill him too.

[@LilVukie]

@@ihave3heads I completely agree. To me, the show gives off the strong impression that Wilson’s cancer is pretty much lethal, but he doesn’t want to live with cancer, more specifically the gazes and pain that will come with it, even if there is a chance at survival. Like I said, they are different in their circumstances, but it is still interesting to see the parallels and lack thereof.

[@jacksonfitzsimmons4253]

@@ihave3heads We also don't know what happened during the last part of Wilson's life. It could be that House DID help Wilson the same way... but what we do see is that when Wilson tries to bring it up as they're about to embark on their motorcycle journey, House cuts him off and says, "cancer is boring." So, I think it can't be ignored how much Wilson specifically means to House. He doesn't want to think about Wilson dying period. It might just be because he's the only person who keeps coming back to House no matter what he does. It's what makes their friendship so terrible, but at the same time so strong?? He can push everyone else away but Wilson will still be there... unless he dies. I think House would do it when the time comes, but he'll try to push that time as far ahead as possible and not acknowledge it until he absolutely has to.

I don't think it was conning, though. House was genuinely being honest. Wilson's compulsive need to care for others is what prompted his temporary decision to resume treatment.

As someone who has a similar condition to the one House portrays, he was spot on. There is rarely a day that goes by without me thinking of taking the short trip. Most of the time it is a fleeting thought, and other times I really ponder it. But at the end of the day, I have family that needs me. If that need ever disappeared, then there would be a problem. But pain, it changes how you think. I don't want to die, but I certainly am not afraid of it. When you wake up, every single day in pain, and I don't mean a headache pain but more like someone driving a glowing red hot nail through your foot, or like every inch of your skin below your knee is on fire and feels like it is burning to the bone, when you wake up to that every single day, sometimes its the smallest thing that keeps you grounded.

While he really wants Wilson to fight through and live as long as possible, House ultimately concedes when he realizes that just like himself, he just doesn’t want to be in pain anymore. He even yelled at Taub about how he relates, “ Life is pain! I wake up everyday and I’m in pain. I go to work in pain. Do you know how many times I just wanted to give up? How many times I thought about ending it?”

[@austinsmith5782]

Taunton? It's Taub lol

[@reesehendricksen1871]

Though House found purpose and value in his friendship with Wilson and others. When Wilson basically states House’s friendship isn’t enough for him, that’s rather insulting.

[@Aivottaja]

@@reesehendricksen1871 That's because at death's door, Wilson had to acknowledge he had made much compromises to enable House. It had been a very one-sided friendship. It's not that House's friendship isn't enough. It's just that with Wilson having so little time left, he didn't want to be the one giving more than he got. He wanted House to be more than what he had been when there was an unknown time left of either's lives. Is that insulting? I don't know. But I understand it. Wilson was trying to force himself to be selfish, because with this being House and Wilson dying, you kind of have to.

[@SOSULLI]

It's pretty simple, using the rational of House. Everyone is only able to make egotistical decisions, that either give them happiness or avoid pain. House can live with his pain, seeing as the pain has become his character. Wilson is a admirable man, for forgiving House and trying to understand him. Feeling the guilt towards House gives him pain and then theres real pain. The foreseeing pain would be worse. And I would add Wilson knows House will always manipulate, so he would never make a decision out of spite.

Being brutally honest will make everyone around and yourself miserable. Why do you think people start to give up on helping House? He talks about living in pain but when Cuddy offered him the methadone treatment, he refused because in his concept, pain what drives his brutal honesty and attitude on being a doctor. Sometimes... we have to lie, because the truth might break us...

[@DaniAzakura]

House could try, but I'm pretty sure truth would outrun him

[@jessiehogue.]

@@Destroyer2150 That's not true at all. The only effect of honesty is proving yourself to be reliable and trustworthy. Lying is what will make everyone around and yourself miserable, and worse the moment they find out. People start to give up on helping House because he's acting like a selfish jerk 95% of the time, regardless of his best intentions. If you knew someone like him in real life, you would not like him. Not one bit. And he lies all the time, so you can't use House as an example of how 'honesty makes people around you miserable'. People only use that argument as an excuse for their own lies. The only people who would end up miserable due to your honesty are people who neither want nor can handle the truth, and those are people you should not want around you, because if they want lies from you, you can sure as hell bet that they will return the favor aplenty. If you love the people you keep around, then be honest to them. They deserve that much. Otherwise, your relationships themselves might as well be the smoke and mirrors that your words are.

But sure. Keep telling you that, keep lying to your loved ones, keep assuming that people who are being honest are 'cruel', 'inconsiderate', 'tactless' and 'as horrible as manipulation and lies'. I'm sure it helps you sleep better at night. After all, as you said it yourself, truth has less *utility*.

House can’t, because of you know, the cane

[@MarkTomeh]

Hugh Laurie as House is the best performance in Television history.

[@carlo7503]

I want to believe that House wants so strongly Wilson to do the chemo, not only for his loneliness and the fact that once he is dead, he will be alone, but also because he has been living in pain, misery and depression for his entire life. Every day, like he screams, he wakes up in pain, goes to work in pain, thinks about suicide and the idea of putting himself out of his misery. However he constantly fights his demons and his physical pain. It is true that he abuses vicodin in order to fight this battle against himself, but he tries with all his strengths. When he sees these two people (Wilson and the boy who attempted suicide) that are not willing to do the same, he can't accept that. He can't accept the fact that he has always chosen to live a life of pain, whereas others have not. This is the main trigger, in my opinion, that leads to his reaction when he tries to strangulate the boy. Same thing with Wilson when he gets out of his car, leaving him alone.

[@newsing33]

Robert Sean Leonard, the first time I saw him was in "Dead Poet's Society". I was in love with his acting, and the way his performance as Neal Perry made me feel, every emotion. His handsome face was just a bonus.

Not exactly sure why, but that line “you’re resisting me cause it’s our human responsibility to STAY ALIVE” really hits hard. Given what’s happening with Wilson. Man I miss this show, it will forever be one of my top 3 favourite shows of all time, still watch it whenever I can. ❤

It hearkens back to the pilot episode, where a patient wanted to "die with a little dignity". House told her, "there's no such thing. [...] We can live with dignity; we can't die with it."

This was the only time in the series that House was scary.

When he threw his cane down at 5:36 you knew something bad was about to happen. Brilliantly shocking scene.

Robert at first didn't want to be anything but a side character as Wilson when the series first started but in a way, he knew his role in Hugh's House development was more than just a job for a side character. He nailed Wilson's role and it's one of the best TV arcs of all time I say.

[@Destroyer2150]

@@thedev-yani The thing is, Wilson of all people understands what cancer and its treatment does to someone. His case is terminal and he doesn't want to be in a hospital bed being injected with poison that will eat away at him and probably restrict his plans on living the rest of his life. It takes a while for House to respect Wilson wishes, but in the end, he does.

[@thedev-yani]

@@Destroyer2150 I know. And may be that's why House admits that Wilson is just smarter than he is. I also agree that it's one's choice to refuse treatment if all that treatment would do is destroy them a little at a time.

What I love about the teams that house had along the way, was that they each got less endeared or respectful of him as the seasons went by, and each new group was less sycophantic or interested in him at all.

[@elnationalista]

That moment when you understood the two sides (Wilson's &House's) because I was once suicidal. There was a part in me that just wanted to end it while there was another that wanted to fight. The one that prevailed was the later, but it was not easy. It was a constant fight every day while no one understands. It's a lonely feeling, but it is also empowering after you achieve the break through it. Not because one is stronger than those who decide to give up, but just because you made it. At the same time, it makes you feel compassion and understanding to those who are in the path or those who give up. Remember to always extend your hand to help others, everyone. You do not know if they are in this fight and just need a bit of more light in their world to keep going.

When House outbursts and strangles the patient all I could think was that he lost it, and just took all his current anger on the poor kid.

[@40mihirkulkarni44]

Honestly, House was wrong in this episode in my opinion. Just because he could tolerate the physical and mental pain doesn't mean others have the same tolerance. And forcing Wilson to live through all that just for the sake of keeping his friend with him is selfish, when Wilson doesn't have the tolerance that House has. If House really was his friend, he should have reciprocated it by easing Wilson's pain, not forcing him to live through it.

He has the right to end it, though that doesn’t mean House has to watch a friend insult him and make a foolish choice.

[@elliemorgan8670]

One thing I absolutely adore about this performance by Wilson is that it’s completely raw. So I am completely blind and can’t see his facial expressions but one of the things that bugs me about TV sometimes is when people are crying or upset. It doesn’t sound like they are because it’s supposed to be pretty. But here? He’s angry, he’s sad, he’s raging, he’s scared, And he’s ugly crying and you can hear absolutely all of it. It’s so raw in real because grief is not a pretty emotion it’s ugly, and he shows every bit of that and doesn’t get talked about nearly as much as it should. It’s very refreshing to see the true take on a man who is dying and is expressing every bit of that sadness and anger.

Watching this for at least the second time, I'm realizing something about this show. It portrays House's self destructive behaviors - suppressing his feelings, lack of self-awareness, only ever expressing anger, needing to "fix" everything, inability to be open about his feelings (except anger), and cannot ask for help - as the main villain. The traits of toxic masculinity. Meanwhile it depicts positively scenes where men open up, are vulnerable, are aware of and open about their emotions, come to others for help, ask for moral support, and support one another. A very positive message, one that more men need to see, and should be seen more often on television and in movies.

It makes for a much more emotional delivery. Koodos to Robert Sean Leonard.
