The episode originally aired on May 19, 2008, as the second part of a two-part finale. It follows the aftermath of House’s unexplained bus accident and the effort to determine what happened to Amber Volakis, who was traveling with him. The medical mystery becomes inseparable from Wilson’s relationship with Amber.
