"Everybody Dies" is the last episode of the eighth season of the American television medical drama series ''House'', and the final episode of the series. It aired on Fox Network in the United States on May 21, 2012. The series finale aired immediately following a retrospective episode, entitled "Swan Song", which made for a two-hour special.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Show A–Z – house on fox )〕 The title is a reference to the pilot episode which was called "Everybody Lies". ==Plot== House wakes up in an abandoned building next to a dead body. When Dr. Lawrence Kutner appears (who had committed suicide some seasons earlier), House concludes that he is hallucinating parts of his subconscious. He mentions to his subconscious that the body next to him is his former patient (James LeGros). The majority of the episode is House describing the case and arguing with his subconscious, who appears in various forms— Dr. Lawrence Kutner, Dr. Amber Volakis, Stacy Warner and finally Dr. Allison Cameron. However, while this is going on, the abandoned building is slowly burning to the ground, and House must decide whether to try to escape or let himself die. House identifies his patient as a fellow drug addict who was addicted to heroin (although he is scant on the specific medical details, noting that "nobody cares about the medicine"). House takes an interest in this patient, who describes his life as being so miserable that heroin was the only thing that made him happy. While discussing the case with his subconscious, House also mentions his attempt to find a way out of going to jail for the felony vandalism he committed in the previous episode. However, both Foreman and Wilson refuse to lie for House. The patient, believing he is about to die, offers to "take the fall" for House. However, as he does this, House notices a symptom that means that the patient would live, and tells him this instead of lying to the patient. When House has not shown up for work for two days and is not at his apartment, Wilson fears that he might have committed suicide given his bleak prospects. Foreman and Wilson talk to House's old therapist, Dr. Darryl Nolan, and conclude that he has gone with the drug patient to do heroin. Although the address listed for the patient leads them to a seemingly dead end, Wilson smells smoke coming from the burning building that House is in. At this point, House has finally been convinced by his subconscious (in the form of Cameron) that he is capable of change and that he should live. Foreman and Wilson arrive outside the burning building in time to witness House still trapped inside the building. House catches a glimpse of Foreman and Wilson, but gets caught behind burning wooden beams. The building then explodes. After firefighters carry a body out of the ruins of the building, the coroner concludes that it is House's body. The camera cuts to House's funeral, in which many of his colleagues share their thoughts about him. They are all positive in retrospect, showing how House might have had his flaws and quirks but that he was a positive force in their lives and in the world. The only exception to this is Wilson's eulogy; while Wilson at first says positive things about House, he goes on to call House arrogant and "an ass", and then explains how he believes House ultimately never cared about his friends or associates. Wilson's speech is then interrupted by a cell phone notification, where a text message reads "SHUT UP YOU IDIOT", a phrase characteristic of House. Wilson realizes that House sent the text message and must have survived the fire. Wilson is later shown finding House, seated on the doorstep of his home. House explains to Wilson that he faked his death by switching his dental records with those of his former patient. Wilson berates House for destroying his own life and points out that House can never work as a doctor again. House counters that he is officially dead and can now start a new life. House then asks Wilson (who had previously been diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer) how he wishes to spend his last five months. Meanwhile, everyone else assumes House has died. A brief overview of the hospital is shown accompanied by Warren Zevon's "Keep Me in Your Heart for a While". It shows that Chase has taken over House's position as head of diagnostic medicine at the hospital (with a team consisting solely of Park and Adams) and Cameron is happily married with a baby though she reminisces about her time on House's team. Taub is shown having dinner with both Rachel and Ruby, as well as their daughters. Foreman, however, discovers House's hospital identification badge under a wobbly table, which Foreman previously tried to fix while arguing with House at the beginning of the episode. Foreman smiles and then chuckles at the kind deed, suggesting that Foreman knows House's secret. In the concluding scene, House and a scruffy Wilson are shown on motorcycles, wearing similar leather jackets. Wilson tries to discuss his concerns about when his cancer symptoms will worsen, but House interrupts by saying, "Cancer's boring." They cross a bridge on their motorcycles and ride off into the countryside as Louis Prima's recording of "Enjoy Yourself (It's Later than You Think)" plays. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Everybody Dies (House)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
