What was the title of the final episode of the television series House, M.D.?

The final episode of House, M.D. was titled “Everybody Dies.” It aired on May 21, 2012, as the conclusion of the eight-season medical drama.

The title echoes the series’ recurring interest in mortality while also recalling the phrase “Everybody Lies,” associated with House’s approach to patients and diagnosis. In the episode, House faces the apparent death of his friend James Wilson and the consequences of a dangerous decision he has made. The story uses hallucination and memory sequences to revisit people and ideas from House’s past.

The finale ultimately centers on House choosing friendship over the official version of his own life. Rather than allowing Wilson to face his final months alone, House abandons the opportunity to preserve his professional identity and secretly accompanies him. The ending leaves the hospital and House’s career behind while confirming that Wilson’s illness is terminal.
