In House M.D., what is the title of the series finale episode?

The story behind the answer

The House M.D. series finale is titled “Everybody Dies.”

The episode aired on May 21, 2012, and concludes the story of Gregory House after he faces the possibility of imprisonment. Its title echoes the show’s recurring concern with mortality while also recalling the title of the premiere, “Pilot,” and the diagnostic drama’s frequent focus on death and difficult choices.

The finale centers on House and James Wilson after Wilson is diagnosed with terminal thymoma. House ultimately chooses to abandon his apparent death and spend Wilson’s remaining months traveling with him. The episode was paired with a retrospective special, “Swan Song,” broadcast the same night. It should not be confused with “Help Me,” the season-six finale, or “Broken,” a two-part season-six premiere.
