- Doctor Chase, nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you, I’ve heard your name. - Most people have, it’s also a verb.

Chase laughing at House's witty comebacks in the first season was the biggest indication that he would end up being just like House.

There is a scene in one of the episodes where Chase is recovering from the stabbing where he has his classic lightbulb moment. He's walking down the hall and hands his crutches off to someone behind him, limping towards the patient's room just like house had done on multiple occasions. It was honestly the most straightforward parallel in the show.

The first time I finished House MD, reading "Robert Chase, MD" on the glass door in the end of the show was amazing. I believe every single one of us knew Chase was the one among the team. He's not House, refused to be like House, but he took every lesson from that journey and became a better doctor and person.

I love how when Chase comes back (again) he goes "The prodigal son has returned!" and then hugs him, it's like some part of him was actually happy to see him, and the dumbfounded look on Chase's face when he gets hugged by House, lmao

Foreman wanted to be House, but Chase didn’t which is why he was destined to be House because house didn’t want to become himself either. They just wanted to save ppl

It's funny how elegantly this demonstrates how we perpetuate ourselves and those who come before us into those who come after us. Foreman becomes Cuddy, both always questioning House ethically. Cameron becomes Wilson, both always questioning House morally. Chase becomes House, both always questioning House medically. It fits.

I'd support a sequel set around Chase running the diagnostic team. Even if it would be only for a season or two.

Anyone else love that little smile house gave when Chase and Taub walked in for the first time since rejoining his team

I love how at the end of the series Chase's suit is Gray. Neither White like Cameron nor Black like House

Thumbs up for Jesse Spencer, who played Dr. Robert Chase and then immediately played Lieutenant/Captain Matthew Casey on Chicago Fire for 10 seasons. Spencer acted on TV from 2004-2021 straight. What an effort. He also had to speak in an American accent for those 10 seasons. Impressive work

The fact that the show runners knew from the beginning that Chase would one day become House and continued to follow thru with that plan for eight years is a testament to the show's quality..

I remember a clip, but I forget the episode, where House is doing something super illegal to the point in which he even allows the other doctors to leave the room to relieve them of responsibility. Instead of leaving, however, Chase just closes the door and sticks with House.

Wow. Chase and House both hate their dads, but in a way House becomes a father figure to Chase. Never noticed that until this compilation, really great job here.

Chase is like House without all the miseries, House tried not to let Chase becomes "House 2.0". He guides Chase to become the better "House", he see his younger self from Chase. Sometime I just feel this is more like a parent-child relation than a teacher-student relation.

Foreman and Chase ended up exactly where they should - at positions that best suited their personalities. Foreman was always the conservative voice of caution. He was always preferring the more mundane safer options of what is wrong with the patient with treatments that are less dangerous and less invasive. And only when those are exhausted he would go for the rare and crazy ones. Also he is prone to dismiss certain symptoms or related information if it simplifies the diagnosis. Which makes him the ideal "Cuddy" - i.e. ideal Dean of Medicine. Someone with authority, who values House and his unorthodox methods because he knows that it brings results and is able to shield House from external harm, but who at the same time fights him teeth and nails when House pursues some overly crazy idea. His ability to put up stoically with House's various shenanigans also helps. Chase on the other hand was at the beginning House's yesman, who went along with the craziest ideas just fine. He wasn't hindered either by conservativism like Foreman nor by over the top concern for patient's well-being like Cameron (don't take me wrong, there is nothing wrong with being a compassionate doctor but in Cameron's case it hindered the search for the diagnosis, she would have been content with simply keeping the patient all cozy and safe). He learned to supress his compassion just like House did, only for different reasons, thus he seemed similarly callous. But it transpired throughout the series that this particular mix made him much better diagnostician than the other two, he solved most of the cases in comparison to all the other fellows. And once he had his "eureca moment", he pursued it as stubbornly as House.

Chase had the most lightbulbs among all the team members that ever worked under House.Not bad for someone who got in because of nepotism.

House: A noun. Chase: A verb

"And the prodigal son returns " and that hug made my day..... It's so beautiful.....

It's funny how it was Foreman who was originally presented as "House Lite" by Cuddy and built up to essentially be the successor of House, only for him to end up as Cuddy Lite and Chase was the one who ended up being "genius 2.0". I'm not sure if this was an intentional red herring from the start of the show or if they made it up as they went, but it was an interesting progression to witness. p. s. I absolutely love the final interaction between House and Chase "It's been fun" "Fun?" "Seemed pithier than "we've shared a variety of situations"... " Goes to show how House-jaded Chase has become and how much more comfortable House has become around him by the end of it all.

And Chase was usually the only one who'd smile at House's jokes.

The way I see it, 13 was House's favorite daughter, the little girl you treasure and spoil. Chase, on the other hand, was House's favorite son, the boy you rough up so that he may one day become a better man than you. Edit: Apparently this shit turned into a cringe gender shit, so I'm going to add analysis to redirect the conversation. First, look at 11:45 . This is literally that one moment when your dad loses his shit at you, not because he's a drunk abuser or anything but because he cares and he's absolutely terrified of what could happen to you. And 4:00 , when it looks like House is just lashing out at Chase, notice that he says "you've learned all you can" first, before adding the insulting part after a pause. Almost as if he realized he let his real thoughts slip and had to change his tunes to cover it up. That overall episode was Chase calling out House's bullshit and standing up for himself, proving that he was ALREADY prepared to head his own department. He just didn't get to do so until season 8 because the show needed the safety wheels of it's OG cast. And, at the end of it all, didn't Chase become an upgraded version of House? He's more reasonable, more able to function in the workplace, more capable of forming intimate relationships and adjusting his own emotions. Medical knowledge and street smarts will come with age. In all honesty, I don't like the character of House very much, I think the average kid outside of the great American bubble receives far more pain from their fathers than House and still stand by their families all the same, but the way House acted as a father(or maybe more accurately the cool whacky uncle)to Chase was just thematically beautiful. He gave Chase what he himself never had as a child.

In a way, the fact that House retains his cane through the show, while Chase ends up not having one, can be taken as a signal of the core difference between the two. House's history and pain has permanently marked him; it's irrecoverable, "managed" crudely through addiction and external assistance. Chase, on the other hand, gets back on two feet, but with a similar limping gait; having still suffered, also marked by that pain, but in a way that has not left him permanently disrupted as a person. I'm probably reading way too deep but I think it's a fun thought regardless.

Foreman tried to control and finally learnt how to manage House, despite his measures to establish his power. Cameron tried to change House but she learnt she can't change House. Chase tried to play along House and finally learnt all things except being miserable.

11:45 One of the few moments of the whole series where House is both completely honest and emotionally vulnerable for some else sake. If that scene doesn't tell you how much House loves his crew nothing will.

The nod from house to chase at 12:42 hit like lightning. That nod was Hugh laurie nodding to Jesse Spencer thanking him for riding out the show with him until the very end.

I loved to watch House's and Chase's relationship unfold. I think, underneath it all, they always had a father-son kind of relationship, and House loved him much more than he let on - certainly more than anyone else on his team.

A Chase M.D mini series would be cool. Keep it short, don't over stay the welcome. The biggest fan-servicey thing I'd ask for, is a House appeareance, in that maybe 13's time has come and House keeps his promise.

This is hands down, the best compilation. Felt like a complete journey

I remember there was an episode where Foreman couldn't get a job because someone was sending letters to other hospitals (or something like that). At the end, Chase discovers that House was the one doing it, and House tells Chase "Sometimes I forget why I hired you". Great scene.

Im surprised you dont have the scene of House apologizing to Chase for the stabbing while Chase is doing PT. House admits hes to blame and says "I'm sorry." And Chase just looks at him with a straight face and says "okay. anything else? im kinda busy here." Which is a total House response for that kind of emotional situation. Then the camera focuses just on Chases one hand down on the rail to make it look like a cane

It's interesting that at 11:29 you can see that House really does care. He doesn't want anyone to end up like him, especially Chase. The fact that Chase is having trouble walking is what set it off. Brilliant writing.

The scene with Foreman and Chase on the stairway where Chase is picking Foreman apart at every angle was done remarkably similarly to how House would probably do it. The element of humor Chase used, the pace in his speech and the clean finish was an easy victory that House executes in nearly the same way.

"You reassess your life when you make a mistake, you didnt, you just got stabbed" lol flashback to House getting shot

The fact that chase did nothing but surfing for 9 months taking break from medical and surgical practice and returned after house came out in parole always intrigues me. He returned with much better clarity and no emotional baggage attached and with much better clinical and diagnostic skills. I want to know what chase did actually that days. But one thing I know is house knows what chase did

Oh boy i love the scene at 12:40 ongoing when house and chase just secretly nod at each other, that always gives me the chills...! At this point you know house has accepted chase as his successor.

8:27 House's smile gave everything, relief and joy that Chase came back.

This is the most well put House MD compilation I’ve come across!

I actually realized that Chase was the only person that House gave out his hand as a sign of authentic gratitude/farewell, sort of… I mean, I’ve just finished House 2 days ago for the 2nd time I think, and I have the whole series fresh on my memory.

I just noticed that after Chase succeeds House, he isn't wearing a lab coat either, which was a very House thing to do as every other doctor wore one.

I love how Chase started as a suck up to House, but the slowly turned into him. Even though in the beginning they said Foreman was gonna be House, they changed up the paths of both of em. Chase was my favorite House disciple.

2:30 is when he truly became house. Screwing with foreman, "we were wrong about the puppy", and solving the case in one moment.

Chase with House's ball really makes it seem like the legacy has moved on and he will become just as much of a genius as House in the future when he reaches House's age.

I really wish they would've made a spin off show following Chase as the head of diagnostics after House ended. Chase might have become the new House, but he was still different enough that there was room to explore and develop his character quite a bit. Same with Foreman. Unfortunately, I think the opportunity has passed and we'll never get a show of this caliber again.

Chase shut up and listen to House. He's the only one actually learning from House. He consult House where Cameron and Foreman question and debate House. He's the only one putting himself into House mind, trying to understand his way of thinking, instead of the "I know this and I don't think you're right, Dr. House" like Foreman and Cameron often does, which is why they both in the end goes into their own way, meanwhile Chase absorb House and become the new House.

my favourite part about the end scene is a line from Chase to Foreman in season 4: "you're not wearing a lab coat... House doesn't wear lab coats..."

Chase is House's true protégé. He has no problems crossing lines to back House and he won't whine about everything House does unlike all the other team members. Truly House's prodigal son!

I love that the show has a lot of irony and poetry like chase is cardiology and got stab in the chest, Wilson cancer doctor and got cancer, foreman is a neurologist and got a neurological infection, there a lot of parallels. Also I love chase and house goodbye every house relationship is complicated so just said after 10 years working together "we share a lot of situations".

There is a scene that is like a mirror when chase says to house : "anything else?" when he is doing fisio for the walk problem as a result of the stab It s like when house says to chase "anything else" after chased yelled house U could include that to make that contrast between the cold house and the cold chase Good video btw (Y)

6:30 Cameron's so right here. By this point Chase was already making decisions like house, emotionally tiring himself, a feeling that he has a weight on his shoulders that bothered him so much that it didn't bother him anymore. Its kind of sad in a way.

House is an adaptation of Sherlock Holmes. ‘The Chase’ is what Holmes seeks, it’s the only thing that makes him happy other than drugs. Chase is the embodiment of House’s passion for medicine. A foreman watches a factory floor, and keeps the workers in check, he is House’s conscience. Idk, am i over reading?

We need Chase MD - it would be a really interesting way of exploring House’s earlier years, without needing to bring back much of the original cast.

At first I thought the music was a bit much but it really does grow on you. That ending crescendo while it pans to “Robert Chase M.D.” just makes me smile and feel all the air taken out of me at the same time

this randomly appeard in my recommended, insane editing, you really understood his character so well, good job

The writing in this show was absolutely magnificent! I could not stand pretty boy Chase at first, then they gave the character depth and made you realize there was so much more to him. He ultimately became one of my favorite characters!

My favorite here is 12:44 - that House's look at Chase, little smile and head nods from both is amazing, beautifly written and played

I can’t begin to describe how much I love this

I realized that the music was a bit too much, sorry for that :/

13:53 He looks so much like House when saying that remark, same expression when House sends that last one jab toward patient at the clinic or something like that :)

I think House fired him at 4:15 because he saw Chase was becoming more and more like him and didn’t want that for Chase because he actually cares about him and wants him to be better than he is.

Can't count the number of times I've come back and replayed this video. House MD was just too good a TV show to have ended. Thank you @Athena for the nostalgia. Wish there was a sequel/prequel to this amazing show!!

Really good work, Chase was really house´s apprentice

i love that you open it with the x-ray the leg, that's what stablish Chase out of the box thinking. that's why he's House successor. this vid is a masterpiece thank you!

Chase is one of the characters with more development in the whole series. It's a conflictic character at the start and it scale to an important an beloved one at the end. Curious, Chase become one better House than House (it has more human sensitive), and it is really close to his genius, not by talent, but experience that it's more value.

The limp was definitely done on purpose.

We've shared a variety of situations. God I love that so much

Half the reason House was able to let go and be with Wilson is because he knew Chase would continue his legacy.

I would like a "Foreman becoming Cuddy over the years" version.

This has got to be one of my favourite series. Get really nostalgic looking back, I binge watched 8 series again recently, so good.

"The prodigal son has returned" those words make me cry :(

House loved Chase and didn’t want him to end up like him, not the “lonely and broken” part of him anyways. This shows it. Thanks for the vid.

The head nod across the table is the most powerful scene in this montage. IMO. Thanks for putting this together.

This was really well done, good editing and you showed the timeline very well.

At the end of the day no one ever truly understood House except Chase and that's what makes him his successor.

I'm on season 8 and Chase has been my favorite last 3 seasons, he's grown so much as a character. Thank you for this video!

"I don't hate him, I loved him till I figured out it hurts a lot less to just not care" That fucking stings, it's the exact same way I feel about my own father but i've never had it in words.

That was awesome, I loved it. It would be more awesome if they give Chase his own tv show when everyone comes back after all those years after the show ended.

Chase being fired by House at the end of season 3 felt like a huge moment at the time. Like Foreman quits, Cameron quits, Chase is the only one House sends away. Why? Because he was the only one House thought was ready.

Only over the years, I realized how appropriate the surname Chase is

The brief look of positive affirmation house and chase shared after chase returned from his paralysis was so wholesome

Chase definitely did come full-House-circle. Don't know if the producers intended the 5:56 and 15:06 moments but, so good! Great video and perspective!

History always repeats itself, I loved how you can totally see that in the editing. It's also something that was really well depicted in the show.

I never noticed just how much he begins to look like house with the hair and beard, he really did turn into house

One of the best things I’ve ever seen, I can’t thank you enough for putting so much time and effort into making and sharing this. I feel beyond lucky to have one of my favorite parts of house MD compiled here like this in such a wonderfully long and loving video. 💗

the small glances and looks in the last season between house and chase were honestly just the best

Wonderful compilation of everything that Chase has gone through as a person, and as a Doctor. He’s such a fantastic character, and watching his journey really does bring out so much emotion. House Is such a good show, gods

Thank you for making this Athena. Oh and I'm proud you found a covid project, let alone one that has touched LITERAL millions of people.

Well done loved this, house was one of a kind show. So many have tried matching it but no one has come close. The music was great I thought really added to the emotions and flow of the comp.

This was a fantastic compilation and it captured the evolution so well! You have done a fantastic job!

It has been a very long time since this show finished airing, but it's always nice to see how lively the community still remains, after all these years. This is one of the best montages of a character development that I have ever seen on KZfaq. I don't even mind the music too much after the first minute or two. It fits pretty well and enhances the dramatic effect.

Chase banging a nun was a zerofucksgiven move even House would hesitate to perfom

One of the clips that would have been good was when Cameron was complaining and she says “We can’t wait around for Chase to give us another breakthrough!”

House telling Chase not to become like him captures the essence of their relationship. Chase came to House desperate for a father-figure. Their relationship unfolds classically, Chase starts out eager to please, then grows enough to stand up to House, they start butting heads and Chase rebels running away and coming back repeatedly. Finally Chase realises his potential and moves outside of Houses shadow while being greatful for his teaching. House won’t allow Chase to become like him because while every father wants their child to be like them, every good father wants their child to be better.

How's missed Chase so much that he actually hugged him. He tried to play it off as another joke, but just looking at Chase's expression of surprise, you know it was genuine

There is a scene I am not sure which episode when Chase figures something out and goes: Everybody lies. And starts playing with House's ball. And when he is the only one to figure out it was House who cancelled Foreman's interview. Loved the video btw

I think what few realize is that Chase became house because he didn't have in his life a father figure present and who provided him with examples of how to shape his actions and character. Even though in the end he significantly changed from House, a large part of his behavior comes from him. So much so that house speaks when he returns "The prodigal son has returned!". HAHAHA

It is first afterwards it gets so blatantly obvious. Very well done. Thanks for putting this together!

11:40 that’s gotta be the most love I’ve ever seen House give. Not only did he give Chase some solid advice but he reassured him that the stabbing wasn’t his fault. Huge moment

that’s really amazing. i’m still on season 3 so i had to pause so that i didn’t get too many spoilers but i am just in love with chase. i mean sure he looks so pretty but also his character is admirable! he’s with house till the end, shows respect and doesn’t shoot something down for being too crazy, but will also stand up for what he thinks is right. not even halfway done with the show but chase is and will forever be my favorite character ❤

Thanks a lot for this compilation. Its amazing. Showed me how much i miss that series. Always had this thought of a single episode where 13 when her condition is bad with her disease and there stands house to fulfill the promise he made. Would be awesome.
