In House M.D., what is the title of the 2012 episode that concludes the series?

“Everybody Dies” is the title of House M.D.’s final episode. The series finale aired on May 21, 2012, concluding the eight-season story of Gregory House and his colleagues.

The title echoes one of House’s recurring observations about mortality while also answering the show’s famous diagnostic maxim, “Everybody lies.” In the episode, House treats a psychologically troubled patient while facing a personal crisis involving his friend James Wilson.

House ultimately chooses to fake his death rather than return to prison, allowing him to spend Wilson’s final months with him. The public believes House died in a building fire, but Wilson learns the truth through a message and discovers House waiting for him.

The title is sometimes confused with “Everybody Lies,” a phrase strongly associated with House’s diagnostic philosophy. “Everybody Dies” is the actual title of the concluding episode and its thematic counterpart.
