we all know its all script but the way he figures the stuff out is pure genius.. it gave me severe goosebumps when he showed her deceased son..

I am fully under the impression after watching all these clips that house genuinely wants to help people but also realizes that being nice takes a little too long in the field of medicine to actually do what he wants to do.

There should be a compilation of House having those intense 1 on 1 talks with his patients. Some of the best parts of the series.

I loved this episode. House being a fan of a series of books targeted by "overly annoying teenagers" is hilarious to me

"She tries to run; shoot her." House had the best lines I swear 💀

its never lupus but is always mentioned in every episode😂

The hyperacute investigative measures it took to wipe away years of guilt revealing the true nature about her son's death sends chills down my spine. This is why House will always be my favorite show!

I will always find House being a fan of books targeted at young teen girls absolutely amazing

Her „Thank you“ to Taub‘s „we want to help you“ was actually genuine… He was sincere, so she answered in kind.

Kinda sad how many people have always lived in guilt, sometimes not their own fault, and amazing that House went out of his way to make an excuse for her to get out of that guilt and could live normal

This is one of my favorite episodes. There’s a personal mystery intertwined with the medical mystery as the patient’s traumas have become critical to uncovering what is medically wrong with her. House also has to read her and read her books to uncover what is “unwritten” in her life that is the answer to both mysteries. Bravo to the writing staff on this episode.

Taub: "The hell?!" Foreman" "Close. House." 😂

of course, telling a paralysed person they dont need to bother getting up is something House would totally say

Anyone who is amazed that House reads books targeted by overly annoying teenagers needs to remember that he also watched telenovelas...

The most memorable seizure I've seen on House MD was the one where that jerk was playing chess with house

"Don't bother to get up" 😂😂 only House would go there🤣

Wasn't he lying about the son? I vaguely remember that afterwards he was talking to one of the other drs...probably Wilson, and mentioned that really it was because the kid was inexperienced and shouldn't have been driving in those conditions and crashed and he died from the crash.

House, the only guy to say “you can’t kill yourself because there is something wrong with you and I need to fix it, if I fix you and you still want to off yourself, then go for it.” The cat will always need the mouse and everything else is insignificant to that chase which House always had with medical mysteries.

There is an unspoken diagnosis (or symptom of her distress and grief) that is in this scene and House doesn’t make effort to address as the patients fault: the maladaptive image of her son as a coping mechanism. This is why we’re able to see him in the room because we’re seeing the situation as she’s seeing it in that moment. House doesn’t disturb it. He understands that this daydream was not only a way for her to cope with her grief but also a fallback source when she wrote, she was inspired by this coping mechanism to write and it kept her son alive. If House believed that this daydream was a complete problem and found it a human error, he would’ve acknowledged her talking to the air (he’s done this before with other patients in delirium) but no, we actually see a shadow fall on the son as he’s handling the autopsy papers. Not to mention he allows her to speak to her “son” as a means of forgiving herself and making amends to heal herself. Now, why is this important to know? Constantly throughout the series he’s been blamed by not only his patients but his colleagues as well that his patients are just puzzles and challenges meant to be solved and has no real emotional regard for them. When I’m fact, *he does*. This scene here showed that not only House acknowledged that she used disassociation to cope but completely allowed her to use that to its full end to allow her to heal. Yes he confronted her plot holes and how it correlated with her trauma, but people who didn’t care wouldn’t go that far. If he was the cold doctor people saw him as, he would’ve been concerned with a diagnosis and not her life ending outside of the hospital stay. He cares, and always has. He’s just a man of logic, and the mind navigates his moral code, and though unethical, in the end he’s saved a life, an empathetic solution far greater than just “some puzzle” I think that’s why Wilson is his closest friend, because he gets it.

Knew house was a man of culture when he asked the one patient to sing the theme song of icarly while hopping on one foot, this episode solidified that fact

Watching the series for the first time all the way through because of the uploads this channel does. I still remember watching episodes with Mom when they would come on TV. Thank you for uploading these clips so long after the series ended.

“If she tries to run, shoot her” Everyone packing heat: 😁 “…with a sedative” Head packers: 😒

Didn’t house lie to her about her sons death so she would no longer feel guilty about it and not try to kill herself over it?

We had a local Chiropractor, Dr. Bret Stone. Great guy. Always helpful and always willing to see you any time, day or night. Made house calls. One day he had an aneurysm and just fell over dead. His secretary found him a few minutes later. Thousands of people showed up to his funeral. All the lives that he touched.

"Don't bother to get up" God I love him

so well played. she had the lethargy of despair right, and of kow thyroid. beautifully acted.

This episode was a giant "the accident wasn't your fault" meme

I dont remember the end of this plot line, but im 100% certain House was lying when he said that her son had a brain aneurism. Lmao

I mean when you're on a learners permit, you want to learn to drive in different conditions like rain or even snow (if that applies) so it doesn't cause issues later on. Letting him drive in the rain wasn't an issue, in fact it was a good thing. If he didn't have the aneurysm and he crashed because of the raining conditions, then it'd only be a stroke of bad fortune if anything, because sooner or later he'd have to drive in the rain anyway and that would happen at that point anyway. She was blaming herself for trying to make sure he learnt what he needed to know. Kinda sad actually.

“try to stop me” House: “aight, bet”

The scene didn’t show after that he was lying about the brain aneurysm just so she could stop doubting herself and for her to move on and finish her books

House does care deep inside his soul

"Maybe if I open up a little, you'll be able to save me?" "Uh, yeah? I'm a doctor, that's kind of my job."

I love this episode, how emotional House is. He consoles her by lying to her, so that she lets herself live again.

Amy Irving is a wonderful actor and we just don’t see her in films anymore! Great episode ☺️

It's interesting to see how House resonates with people similar to him- people who fight with themselves, people who self loath (either for their own mistakes or things out of their controll). The feeling of being able and knowing how to help others and yet still feeling hypocritical that you can't help yourself

I was a long term patient when I discoverd House. I loved this show!

I think the only time he appeared to care about his patient and being truly honest with them.

Reminds me of the scene where Foreman absolves the homeless woman dying of rabies of her pain and guilt.

This episode always hit me... I can always feel her

I love the beginning of the episode with her and Jack. “I’m not brave like you.” 😞

love the detail of him comparing with the nurse while he checks her pulse at the start

While the nurse is a little perplexed, she's also laser-focused on the patient. The patient not denying House's hunch was instant checkmate.

I have always loved Amy Irving! This was a really great episode!

As a writer I appreciate he was treating the characters in her books in order to treat her. Yes, it was selfish... perhaps... But he did recognize the creation is connected to the creator.

hard to pick which episode of house is ever the best since they are all brilliant

Even if it was a lie, it still wasn't her fault. The son would eventually drive on a rainy night in the future. He would need to learn. That's the truth of parenting. Teaching your children how to do things you do so they know how to do it alone. The bitter sweet truth is that, she did what any parents do when teaching their children to drive. She just got unlucky.

House showing care for a patient is new. Looking closer to why the son died and finding proof that the mother could not blame herself is amazing. I do feel bad for the mother, no parent should bury their child.

All the actors, the stuff, the writers, the directors , many years later, they all know one thing, and one thing only! LUPUS!!!

Dang this is a good episode I can already tell. Just the script and the characters. House showed a little bit of compassion

"Try and stop me" Very poor choice of words.

House’s method of waking up Taub at 2:15 has me in stitches😆😆

The entusiasm when he says "And WHY is he obsessed with yoyos?" 🤔🤣 Incredible

"Can't be lupus" Ahh yes of course

As soon as he said Lupus, I bursted out laughing!! ITS. NEVER. LUPUS.

Anyone else get a kick out of them saying it’s Lupus or Cancer? And then House says no to both.

"What the hell?!?" "Close, House." That's the kind of reaction I want from people in pvp games

“We’re treating a patient not a book” the book is the patient! We writers write from the heart! You read the book you can find out a lot about the writer

"It can't be Lupus!" Dude, this is house of course you would suspect Lupus.

Author: Try and Stop Me House: Bet.

"The only thing the crash is killing is you" is such an insanely good line.

Can someone remind me...House made that last part up, right? There wasn't anything wrong with the kids brain if I recall correctly?

"She shouldn't have let him drive" I think I heard that from House on that episode, I think it was because there was not an aneurysm on her son's brain. He lied to her so she could finish the book and... In second place, to prevent another suicide attempt. Good one, House. Good one.

The writing on this series is second to none………also Hugh Laurie is the perfectly cast.

Not even a full minute in and we're starting STRONG

Excellent episode

you know when the series was on i did not see one show, but i am enjoying all the clips, this was the best one

What an amazing episode. Deep, mysterious, heartwarming. Dr. House was/is such a great show, i'm so glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks so.

Her: try and stop me House: ok this woman is on a 72 hr psychiatric evaluation hold She walked right into that one

"The hell?" "Close, It's house." 🤣🤣🤣

4:00 People it's finally lupus!! Moments later ... Wait nevermind

This was another FANTASTIC House episode. House often had great guest stars like Amy Irving!

That's the challenge when dealing with grief or other powerful emotions. They can be so self destructive, and the real victim is the one having them because they're often unable to accept reason.

"Don't bother to get up..." 😂😂

“What the hell. Close house” one of the best lines in the show

Excellent one

"What the hell?" "Close; House." 🤣 🤣 🤣

2:14 House knock on the glass and wake Taub…. Taub: Hell !!! Foreman: Close… House ! 😂😂😂

I think the ending of this, is the most beautifully written piece.

"We've got a new symptom, hallucinations!"

SHOW MORE STUFF LIKE THIS im gonna cryyy

I loved the "okay" House gives the patient right after she says "try and stop me", he was waiting for the moment LMAOO

1:35 LOL! "What makes you say that that?"

"THE HELL?!" "Close, House." 😆

“The hell?” “Close, House”😆😆

Ooh, I remember this. The character of the book is based on her son who died.

Loved this. Yes, yes - the producers signed off on the episode; the script-writers constructed a vehicle for House to shine, the actors performed it .. but, still - great TV. Loved it.

Psychiatric Hold - Now that's Power of House. You don't mess with the guy 😹

Love this series!

How human body reacts to pain & stress, releasing in body enzymes, which makes you vulnerable....it's....unbelievable and mystery.

I just love the “try and stop me.” House: okay 🤷‍♂️

This clip hits hard.

Just noticed he is using the “Marylin Manson in the funeral home” cane from when he got Wilson to buy him a new one after Hector the dog chewed through it

The nurse was so happy with the flowers

The music piece in this one is crazy good

The best Healthcare on the planet is making something House is a fan of

Really eerie the way she was being haunted there.

No child should die before their parents. Life is so cruel. I cried with her even though it's just fictional.

Me looking at this title: I know him, he’s me

This show is the best. Everyone can relate in one way or another
