What was the title of the House M.D. episode that marked the show’s 100th episode?

“The Greater Good” was the 100th episode of House M.D.

The episode is part of the show’s fifth season and examines a patient whose symptoms lead House’s team into questions about treatment, risk, and competing responsibilities. Its title refers to the ethical tension that often appears in House M.D., where a medically effective choice may conflict with a patient’s wishes or with broader consequences.

Episode numbering can cause confusion because a season episode number is not the same as the overall series count. “The Greater Good” is the 100th episode across the entire series, not the 100th episode of season five. It aired during the show’s fifth season in 2009.

The milestone was significant because House M.D. had developed an established cast and a recognizable diagnostic format by that point. Other episodes with memorable titles, including “Broken” and “The Social Contract,” belong to different parts of the series and are not the 100th installment.
