In House M.D., what is the title of the series finale that ends the eighth season?

The story behind the answer

“Everybody Dies” is the title of the House M.D. series finale and eighth-season finale.

The episode aired on May 21, 2012. Its title echoes the show’s long-running interest in mortality while also referring to the emotional and professional crisis facing Gregory House. The story follows House as he tries to deal with the consequences of a dangerous decision and the possible loss of his future.

The finale also brings House and James Wilson’s friendship to the center. Wilson is facing terminal illness, and House must decide how to respond to the limited time they have left together. The episode uses imagined conversations with figures from House’s past to examine the choices that shaped him.

The title can be confused with “Everybody Lies,” a recurring phrase from the series, or with “Help Me,” the seventh-season finale. “Everybody Dies” is the concluding episode, while “Help Me” ends season seven. The finale closed the show after eight seasons and 177 episodes.
