What is the name of the House M.D. episode in which House fakes his death?

“Everybody Dies” is the House M.D. episode in which House fakes his death.

The episode is the series finale and centers on House’s response to a serious personal crisis. Facing the possibility of returning to prison, he devises a plan that allows him to abandon his former public identity and spend time with his terminally ill friend James Wilson.

House’s apparent death is staged through the identification of a burned body. He then reveals to Wilson that he is alive, choosing friendship over the professional and legal consequences he had been facing. The ending closes the central relationship while leaving House’s future deliberately outside the hospital setting.

The title is a thematic counterpart to the pilot episode, “Everybody Lies.” The finale’s title also reflects the show’s continuing interest in mortality, truth, and the difference between a medical diagnosis and a person’s chosen story.
