What was the title of the House M.D. series finale that aired first on May 21, 2012?

“Everybody Dies” was the first part of the House M.D. series finale, aired on May 21, 2012.

The episode follows Gregory House as he confronts a personal and professional crisis while trying to decide what kind of future remains possible for him. Its title echoes the show’s recurring attention to mortality, diagnosis, and the limits of medical intervention.

“Everybody Dies” was followed by “Holding On,” which completed the finale broadcast. The two episodes brought the eight-season drama to its conclusion and addressed House’s relationship with James Wilson, whose illness becomes a major late-series storyline.

The title can be confused with “Everybody Lies,” a phrase strongly associated with House’s diagnostic philosophy, but they are different expressions. “Everybody Dies” is an actual episode title and the first installment of the finale, while “Holding On” is the concluding installment.
