Chase knew how to be snarky at even the darkest moments, and I could have used that tonight. Jesse Spencer’s departure leaves another hole. “Chase is gone, Wilson is dying, how normal can things be?” says House, and he’s got a point. Still, House would rather talk about the 46-year-old male oncologist who’s refusing treatment, but the team wants to keep things normal. But this cheerleader had a nosebleed bad enough to land him in the hospital. The team is somberly watching videos of cheerleading routines – the new patient is a male cheerleader, like George W.
He notes that Foreman is trying to be his new Wilson, and is not amused, though I think it’s sweet of Foreman. It’s very painful, because I can see both sides – Wilson’s unwillingness to subject himself to even more pain, and House’s need to hold onto his best friend.Īt the hospital, Foreman greets House with tickets for the upcoming hockey season,* which will start about a month after Wilson’s “expiration date,” as House puts it. House, understandably, doesn’t like this. House shows up at his front door, and Wilson greets him by explaining he doesn’t want to do any more chemotherapy. We start with Wilson, turning off his alarm clock and looking shell shocked as, presumably, he remembers what’s going on. For the sake of retrospective irony, I’ve marked the stages in this process with an asterisk. Making my job harder is the fact that what seems like tonight’s comic subplot actually leads up to a final punch in the gut.
HOUSE MD SEASON 5 EPISODE 21 SERIES
Tonight was mostly a sad, slow buildup to the series finale, and I’m left feeling a little like Erich Segal – What do you say about a beloved show and character who are dying? Underlining the themes of loss, mourning, anger, and acceptance, the patient of the week is a nineteen year old who hears the voice of his little brother, who died ten years before. Wilson is dying without chemotherapy, he’s got about five months, and he’s refusing chemotherapy. I would have been much happier if the hopeful commenters on last week’s recap who said House’s reaction to Wilson’s scan could mean any number of things were right. Sometimes the worst thing about being a pessimist is how often you’re right. House attempts to strangle a patient while ParkĪnd the patient’s mother try to stop him.
