“Everybody Dies” was the final episode of House M.D., airing in 2012.

The episode is the series finale and was broadcast on May 21, 2012. It was written by David Shore and directed by Katie Jacobs. The story follows House as he faces the consequences of a dangerous decision while trying to determine what matters most in his life and relationships.

Its title echoes the recurring medical and philosophical concerns of the series: illness is universal, but the meaning of a life depends on choices, connections, and responsibility. The finale also centers on House’s friendship with James Wilson, whose illness gives the ending its emotional stakes.

“Everybody Dies” is sometimes confused with “Swan Song,” the retrospective special that aired around the finale. “Swan Song” looks back at the series, whereas “Everybody Dies” is the scripted concluding episode.
