The ending was another homage to Sherlock Holmes. Holmes also "dies" in the series written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
But it turns out that he is alive all along and that he was faking being dead to escape his reputation so that he may begin life anew.
Much the same happened here. House has to "die" so that all other options but spending time with Wilson are taken away from him
(He can't go back to practicing medicine because he is dead; No jail time for dead people etc).
Damn your Chronoboosts!

House never woke up after he got shot and he's still in a coma dreaming all this time. Wilson dying is symbolism for his own death as he slips deeper into coma. lol@dream/hallucination theorists.

3. The last song was the same song Amber sang to him in his hallucinations at the end of Season 5.
4. His riding off into the sunset with Wilson is symbolic; House is dead and Wilson is going to die, and they're going together into the great unknown.
5. Pre-death hallucinations have already been established for House, in the "Three Stories" episode in season 1. He basically saw the future in the ideal light.
6. If I remember it right, House didn't limp when he met Wilson, which is indicative of a hallucination (in terms of the series).

I just think the ending is more ambiguous than people might think. Unless I'm just crazy!


You bring up interesting points.

I like the idea of him faking his own death -- basically giving up medicine and his obsessions to start fresh -- as a finale.

But I despised the story leading up to it. Some of the clunkiest dialogue this show has ever produced.

I'm at the same time sad and glad the show's over. On the one hand, this show has been a part of my life for the past four years but on the other hand, the quality of the show has been declining since the end of season 5. Just watch any of the episodes of season 4, they are way beyond anything the show did afterwards. Especially the final two episodes, those were probably the best television I've ever seen.

wasnt there another guy with him? That drug addict?

But Im not sure how people not get suspicious when the drug addict's body is at the 2nd floor? but house is presumed to have died at the entrance.

7. They only pulled and mentioned one body at the end. Granted, they might have just skipped over it, but there's a chance it was just House in there and that body was actually House.

Or that it was just the dead addict's body and House had the dental records switched, as he explained

but what i dont understand is this,

the other guy's body is at another floor.
But house was thought to die at the entrance, so why noone suspected anything?
Maybe i need to rewatch this sometime.

The first half of the episode was rather boring, but the second half more than made up for that. Still sad I won't be looking forward to new episodes each tuesday anymore though.

I don't think we'll see a "Chase MD" spin-off anytime soon. Chase is probably the most fleshed-out character except for House himself, but not nearly as interesting.

Even that I think they could have killed him, it makes more sense to make another homage to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle...also Foreman kinda shows that he understood House last move with that last smile...

Anyway it makes me kinda sad being this the series that I most watched over the last 8years and now I don't have anything that I enjoy watching this much :/

What about Foreman finding ID at the end ?
Didnt he say that he is dead for 6 months and then he is going to change or something ?

Him finding the ID (which House used to level the table for Foreman, that he was trying to fix earlier in the episode) and then thinking to himself and grinning shows that Foreman figured out that House was alive after all.

Burning buildings tend to collapse. Also the explosion might have propelled House way back into the middle of the house. Not to mention that the only one for whom the positioning of the body might be considered important information would be Wilson or Foreman and none of them was inside the building to retrieve the corpse. They don't know where the firemen found the body. To them the dental record is all the proof they need.

Not only that but the fact that he hands his ID in to foreman shows both that he is alive and that he is done with his medical career. He is saying that he's leaving his old life behind and starting a new one. Maybe he would contact some people from his old life since they obviously wouldn't rat him out to authorities but more likely not.

Excellent ending to an excellent show. R.I.P. Gregory House, in a figurative sense.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ There are three kinds of people in the world: those who can count and those who can't.

Meh, the last couple of seasons have been kind of bad, was about time they ended it. It was another of those shows that I only stuck with to the end because: "I've gone this far, might as well see it to the end". Kind of like How I met your mother.
