What is the title 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.

In the series finale, Gregory House stages his death in a building fire so that he can avoid prison and spend his remaining time with his terminally ill friend James Wilson. House’s apparent death allows the character to abandon his public identity while preserving the possibility of a different future.

The episode reveals the deception to viewers near the end, after Wilson believes House has died. House then appears in person, explaining that he sacrificed his professional life because Wilson has only a limited time left to live. The ending emphasizes the complicated loyalty at the center of their friendship.

This episode is also the show’s two-part finale and should not be confused with “Swan Song,” the retrospective special that followed it. The title is sometimes remembered only as the finale name, but it is also the specific episode containing the staged-death storyline.
