House cuts him off: “Cancer is boring.” The two drive off as the song “Enjoy Yourself (It’s Later Than You Think)” plays on the soundtrack. The sun is shining, the trees are green, a river sparkles in the sunshine, and Robert Sean Wilson is sporting a surprisingly badass mustache. We end with the two of them on the road, on motorcycles, in black leather jackets. But just as Wilson finally departs from the script, talking instead about what an ass House was, his phone starts ringing, and there’s a not-so-cryptic text… “Shut Up You Idiot.” House switched his dental records with the dead junkie’s, effectively faking his own death. House’s friends and colleagues gather for his memorial service, each speaking about his legacy in their lives. They’re walking towards the burning warehouse (I assume it’s a warehouse) when they see House inside a flaming roof beam blocks him from view, and then the building explodes in flame. (And was that “blah blah blah” dialogue inspired by the Supernatural episode “Tall Tales,” which I just watched again last week?) Meanwhile, Foreman and Wilson, who’ve realized House is missing, track him down. Through flashbacks, we learn about his contacts with the patient who led him here – but plenty of ends are left dangling. (Excellent work from Jennifer Morrison here.) Cameron appears last, in the initially surprising but very effective role of his angel of death, telling him that maybe he’s given enough, and suffered enough, and it’s time to let go. She says that he always let Wilson be his conscience, and perhaps he’ll be better on his own. She hands him a baby, the child he might have had, tempting him with visions of domestic happiness, and telling him that she and Cuddy are not the only women in the world capable of loving him, as we get a glimpse of House and Dominika (House opts for a team of cheerleaders instead).
Stacy, his ex-wife, appears next (somehow I never quite believed in that relationship). When Wilson dies, he’ll cry, and then go on to the next puzzle. He’s followed by Amber, who apparently speaks for his intellect, telling him that his love of puzzles is what keeps him alive the “eternal nothingness” of death is simply boring. Kutner appears first, pointing out how apt it is that, at this moment, House would hallucinate a friend who chose suicide. As in the final episodes of season four and five, House hallucinates and debates with his former friends and associates as he wonders whether to bother escaping. Smoke is coiling up through the floorboards as the building goes up in flames. The plot for tonight’s episode was fundamentally quite simple: House is lying on the floor of a shooting gallery, next to the corpse of a recent patient who was also a junkie. The one name conspicuously absent from this list is Lisa Edelstein as Cuddy, but Andre Braugher did turn up as Dr. Masters (Amber Tamblyn), and Thirteen (Olivia Wilde). We got final appearances not only from Chase and Dominika, but from Kutner (Kal Penn), Amber (Anne Dudek), Cameron (Jennifer Morrison), Stacy (Sela Ward), Martha M. So, everybody got to be right tonight – House did kill himself, more or less, and he and Wilson hit the road a la Thelma and Louise (minus the final leap into the abyss). Could you perhaps pencil it in for later? I think I would much rather watch “Chase M.D.” than that show with the firemen Jesse Spencer is doing over at NBC. Dear Powers That Be At Fox – In the closing minutes of the show, we see Chase taking over House’s position at PPTH. Cr: Byron Cohen/FOXįirst things first: Dear Creators of House – Thank you very much for the happy ending (and for the last eight seasons).
House and Wilson have an important decision to make.
