What was House M.D.'s 177th and final episode called?

The story behind the answer

House M.D.’s 177th and final episode was titled “Everybody Dies.”

The series finale aired on May 21, 2012, concluding the eighth season and the overall run of the Fox medical drama. Its title echoes one of the show's recurring ideas: House often insists that patients and doctors must confront uncomfortable truths rather than comforting assumptions.

The episode follows House as he faces a personal and professional crisis and considers the consequences of his choices. It also brings the long-running relationship between House and James Wilson to the center of the conclusion. The finale’s title is distinct from the series catchphrase “Everybody lies,” which is associated with House's view of patient testimony.

“Help Me” was the title of the seventh-season finale, not the series finale. The episode count and title are therefore separate facts: “Everybody Dies” is the final installment, while “Help Me” belongs to an earlier season.
