What is the name of the House M.D. episode that served as the series finale?

The story behind the answer

“Everybody Dies” is the series finale of House M.D. The episode aired on May 21, 2012, concluding the show's eight-season run.

The title echoes the series' recurring interest in mortality, diagnosis, and the limits of medical intervention. In the finale, House faces a personal and professional crisis while the story brings his relationship with James Wilson to the center of the conclusion.

The episode was broadcast after the penultimate episode, “Holding On,” and followed a season that had continued to examine House's relationships, medical judgment, and consequences. Its title can sound like a general statement rather than a conventional episode name, which is why it is sometimes confused with other darkly titled installments.

“Help Me” was the sixth-season finale, “Broken” opened season six as a two-part story, and “The C-Word” was an eighth-season episode. None of those titles is the final episode.
