House tries every delaying tactic available when Wilson forces him to attend his father's funeral. Meanwhile, the team tries to find the cause of a young woman's abdominal pain and hemorrhage that occurred in China. Stuck with clinic duty, House almost wishes he had the boring patients back after he encounters a young woman with an STD and the need to talk. Darrien steals a car after getting stabbed and hurries to her friend 13's home for help.
Three Stories
In the first half, "House's Head," Dr. House gets caught in the aforementioned devastating bus accident, and suffers a concussion that gives him a bad case of retrograde amnesia — leaving him unable to recall the events immediately leading up to the crash. In the Season 6 finale, "Help Me," Dr. House finds himself called to the site of a crane collapse to perform field triage medicine. House attends to one victim, a woman pinned beneath debris, and some believe that amputating the woman's leg may be the only way to save her.
After Hours
Even in scenes as outlandish as House demonstrating robot surgery on Cameron, the tone is just close enough to reality that the 'it was all a near-death dream' reveal plays as a genuine, perfect surprise. Witty, thoughtful and impeccably constructed, 'Three Stories' is a masterclass in doing flashback right, and gives Laurie the chance to play a less hardened, more vulnerable version of House. It's also the best use the show ever made of Sela Ward's Stacy, whose ten-episode run in the second season was largely a drag. During a lecture on diagnostics, House presents three scenarios in which a patient complains of leg pain and challenges his students to diagnose them. After lots of enjoyably snarky but essentially predictable back-and-forth with House and his students, the episode flips completely with the revelation that the third scenario is about House, and the infarction that left him crippled.
Not Cancer
A very brave and mature 9-year-old girl has terminal cancer, but that is not what the problem seems to be. A police officer in critical condition has bizarre symptoms, and Dr. Foreman finds himself in an unpleasant situation. As he begins to piece together his slowly resurfacing memories, he makes a shocking discovery about events just before the crash that could destroy his relationship with Wilson forever. Tormented with guilt over something he can't remember, House puts his own life in danger to save Amber from something that may have been his fault. House vehemently protests, believing an amputation could make the problem worse.

As the team starts to notice House's odd behavior, they begin to think it's something more than his usual eccentricities, and push him to get help. After realizing that the encounter with Cuddy following his detox session may have been another delusion, House finally agrees to be hospitalized. In a more personal B-story, House tries to figure out who Wilson's new flame could be, sure that it's someone they all know. "Birthmarks" sees Dr. House dreading the impending funeral of his father, Colonel John House, and going to great lengths to find any excuse to avoid it.
In the clinic, House bumps into a young girl whose mother is eager to have her daughter treated so they can get to a beauty pageant, and realizes the six year old is drunk. The body of Kutner, meanwhile, is discovered after seemingly committing suicide. While the staff deals with the loss, House is convinced it wasn't self-inflicted. Guest star Olivia Wilde returns in Season 8 episode "Holding On," where the case of a young college student named Derrick confounds the staff. Arriving with an unexplainable nose bleed suffered during an after school sporting event, the team quickly realizes the problem might be as much in his head as it is in his body. When Derrick claims he's hearing voices — specifically that of his dead brother — they begin to suspect he is afflicted with a form of schizophrenia.
House's Head
There are 177 episodes of the series, but — with some help from IMDb — only 30 make our best-of list. It's these top-tier House installments that play a unique role in showing the many layers of the series. Each episode unravels complex medical mysteries while balancing elements of humor and drama.
Storyline
Dr. House takes on an even more unusual case than normal in "Frozen," when the team is contacted by a research scientist stationed at the South Pole suffering from severe abdominal pains. Forced to examine and diagnose the patient remotely over his computer, and with researcher herself forced to act as her own attending physician, House is presented a new set of challenges that make his work more difficult than usual. Running through a number of possible causes, from cancer, to kidney failure, to a rare autoimmune disorder, the problems pile up because every diagnosis means using valuable medical supplies at the station. Complicating the situation is that as House works with the woman over his laptop, he slowly finds himself becoming attracted to her.
Tell Your Friends
Having taken a religious studies course in school, the woman is staunchly anti-abortion, but doesn't seem to want to keep the baby. Wilson, meanwhile, is dealing with his own medical issue in this episode and wants to be given a risky treatment that House insists on being involved in. While working together, House suddenly finds himself confronted with a terrible choice that would require a big sacrifice to help his best friend. A patient whose relative has called in a favor with Cuddy presents with nonspecific minor symptoms that turn life-threatening, but House is distracted by a dream and an inability to urinate.

To get help on the case, Wilson calls in an old friend, former colleague Thirteen (Wilde). "The C Word" revolves around the case of a young child named Emily who is stricken with a number of existing ailments. Emily's mother is a doctor who has plenty experience with her daughter's many conditions, but the conflict between her and Emily's father makes working together to treat Emily more difficult. Searching the patient's home, the team makes an unexpected realization about Emily's mother that could lie at the center of her recent decline in health.
Meanwhile, doctors struggle to deal with a patient who won't respond to treatment even as his symptoms worsen. When Foreman, Chase, and Cameron find evidence that House might be looking for a new job, they do some detective work and discover he's planning to travel to Boston to undergo experimental treatment for brain cancer. In "Alone," the Season 4 premiere, House hasn't had a patient in weeks with all of his staff gone. While Cuddy tries to force him to take interviews for new staff, Dr. House insists he can go it alone. His first new patient is a woman who was the victim in a horrific building collapse. Following her surgery, she begins to show new symptoms that House can't explain.
In addition to his struggles, House deals with an unusual patient with a rare disorder called alien hand syndrome. The patient, who'd had previously undergone a serious brain surgery to treat his damaging seizures, gets a diagnosis from House that changes everything for him. At the hospital, House and the team work with a ballerina suffering from a collapsed lung who doesn't respond well to treatment. During her first round, they discover she suffers from a rare disorder called toxic epidermal necrolysis, which causes her skin to fall off. Terrified that her life and career will be ruined even if they can fix her lungs, House works overtime to ensure her future.
A woman collapses at an off-track betting parlor in front of House, and he must battle his new boss to find her diagnosis. On Valentine's Day, House meddles in relationships as he works to diagnose a teenager who has a genetic inability to feel pain. House treats a priest who's lost his faith, issues an ultimatum to Foreman and Thirteen, and plays with Cuddy's desire to have him attend - or is it not attend? House is off his game without the team, and Wilson uses an extreme tactic to force him into interviews.
After a work-over and a discussion with the patient, it's revealed that he had been trying to remove his own foreskin when his new girlfriend was disgusted by her uncircumcised lover. Meanwhile, Wilson is dealing with the challenges of his chemo treatment, and wonders whether he wants to keep trying. House wants to keep his friend around as long as possible, but Wilson feels it would only lead to an undignified death. Taken off the case for violating medical ethics, House is forced to confront delusions of Wilson's dead girlfriend Amber.
House fights his doctors, the staff and his fellow patients when he's forced to stay in the psychiatric hospital under threat of permanently losing his medical license. A unique episode shot from the perspective of the week's patient, "Locked In" sees a bicyclist (guest star Mos Def) with a mysterious neurological disorder — one that causes him to crash and suffer serious injuries. But House isn't technically his doctor this episode, instead being a fellow patient in the next bed after suffering his own ill-fated motorcycle accident.
