“Help Me” is the House M.D. episode in which House treats a patient after a building collapse. It serves as the seventh-season finale and centers on a rescue operation involving a woman trapped beneath rubble.
The episode places House outside his usual hospital setting and forces him to make urgent decisions with limited information. The emergency environment highlights his diagnostic instincts while also intensifying the personal and professional pressures surrounding his team.
“Help Me” aired on May 17, 2010. It is notable for the guest appearance of Amber Tamblyn as Martha M. Masters, who becomes part of House’s team during season seven, and for the episode’s emotionally consequential ending.
The title can be confused with “Broken,” a two-part season-six premiere, or “After Hours,” another episode involving a medical crisis. “Help Me” specifically refers to the building-collapse case and the season-seven finale.
