What I love is the community has basically all agreed that, even if House was hiding and faked his death, he absolutely would still keep track of 13 to kill her when asked.
@@coolhand1966 So you've Never read a book, watched a movie, listened to a song that involved character development, suspension of belief, or anything involving creative thinking... ok. That sucks but you live w you 24/7. *buh bye.
@@coolhand1966 🤣🤣 yes ...I don;t understand how you understand there are people paid to be who they are not... but you reject people who have connections through stories... who communicate through humor that is not 100% factual, that creatives write with imagination and hope and feeling that somebody might appreciate that something is created to make life interesting but you... just... yeah.. every character every written is false... every story every told was completely true. Just stop. We know TV shows and movies and song and theatre are build on imagination. ... why is that so hard to imagine unless you are unable? House is a character in a tv show that was flawed scientifically and in time scale. so yes *buh bye is my recognzing a walk away needed. 8+B more people on this planet. OUT
Huntingtons is a nightmare. Not just because it makes life short and crazy hard but because a lot of people find out after they’ve had children. Imagine living knowing that there is a 50 percent chance your children will get it and that you as a parent won’t be there to nurse them.
This show was the first time I heard about Huntington's. I'm a utility worker, and I went to a house when the gentleman told me that he had it. It was terrifying to me.
My Nan had it, died aged 50, my uncle had it, died at 52, my Cousin now has tested for it and it's vicious. Symptoms progress from clumsiness to literal loss of reality, reverting to a childhood state, then total muscle loss and eventually inability to swallow. It sucks, it's rare but genetic. Think motor neurone and dementia combined.
The fact that every single facet of House's snarky veneer fades as soon as she says Huntington's and he musters up every ounce of genuine remorse for his apology is well done. He returns to the snark shortly after, but he recognizes he's been poking into her mortality and he apologizes for it.
@vaish7504 she wasn't wrong, from her position. It's a romantic illusion to think two broken people can fix each other. So, great scene! Excellent acting, both of them, and excellent writing. House will always be my favorite TV show and Thirteen my favorite character in it.
I don't know if that's a tear, I think you just want to see that he has a level of emotional depth that as a character he doesn't really have. Everyone's guilty of this sometimes
@@aregularguytm ...uh, what? I'm literally just saying I don't think it's a tear, I wasn't attacking your opinion or something. Like dude, it's a fictional character, lmao You're doing the same thing, guessing what emotions he's feeling, of a person you literally know nothing about. You really thought you had something here didn't you, lol. I honestly don't know if I've ever seen someone get so tight over a RUclips Comment and I've been on here for 18 years.
She's a really interesting character. Great dynamic with House, I only find her relationship with Foreman was a bit forced into the script. I also gotta praise Olivia Wilde for the portrayal. That cocktail of emotions she displays around the 35 minute mark is quite something.
It feels forced because they have no chemistry. She does a poor job of acting as Foreman's gf because she doesn't seem attracted to him like at all 😂 maybe they have some beef in real life during the shooting who knows?
13 did do things to distract herself from her illness so it's possible the entire thing with foreman was just another way to cope with her shortened life. She wanted to feel something other than impending doom, but eventually just gave up. Admittedly it's been a while since i've seen the show, and it's also very likely that the writers just couldn't make it organic.
Do older men have a "fatherly" love for young pretty girls? How about this instead: Men, behave chastely with ALL girls and women you are not married to. Women, ALL of you try to -- and succeed in -- being pretty. Start with losing the piercings and tattoos and Halloween hair, and within a year, lose the blubber bags too, within two years at the most, if you allowed yourself to get into a terrible state. How's that?
I have a chronic progressive illness. I know it for 6 months now. Watching House helps me, not only this story but also House's own story... its so bizarre to experience this and go through the grief, anger and fear... watching House and Thirteen makes me feel less alone... it also shows the stories of disabled or will-be-disabled people as real people and how they cope with it.
Majy years ago i worked in a long term psych residential facility. We had a resident, schizophrenic who really didn't have control of her body. Her doctor & psychiatrist thought she had really bad side effects of the long term use of antipsychotics, very common in older psych patients who were prescribed certain medications before the newer ones with less side effects came out. The patient was admitted to the hospital, with pneumonia, i think. A medical student did an in-depth medical & family history of her. And convinced the attending doctor to run genetic testing. She had Huntington's Chorea. And was pretty far advanced. Her family took her home to spend her last few months with her family. What made it even sadder was, right before her diagnosis, her son told that she was going to be a grandmother. Her son had a 50/50 chance of inheriting Huntington's from his mom. And if he was positive, he had a 50/50 chance of passing it on to his unborn child
She had been diagnosed and treated for schizophrenia as a young adult, since the mid 1960's. It wasn't until she was in her 60's that she was diagnosed with Huntingtons
I love how Thirteen started as a mystery and it always kept revealing into even more mysteries, ranging from her actual name, sexual preference, her genetic disease, her criminal record even her sibling existence was a mystery. and to top that up, they left her future as a mystery. we all know she "okayed" house's offer. we only could assume he kept his part when the time came. she's top 3 IMO + I'm a simp when it come to Olivia Wilde!
As someone who is dealing with being diagnosed with HD, I can completely empathize with 13. I think she did a fantastic job showcasing the heart wrenching emotions that manifest when finding out you have it.
I watched my mom and her sister (only sibling) fight HC....now watching my baby brother deal with symptoms and not wanting to know for sure with diagnosis. He is in his early 30s. I'm in my 50s, sister in her 50s and another brother in his 40s. We all kinda chose not to know. I have a daughter...sister had 3 sons...brother has 3 kids...baby brother (dealing with HC) has 2 kids both under 7yrs old. I sometimes think we were selfish having kids since there is such a chance to pass HC on to them....brother says that we gave life to the kids and gave them a chance for happiness and to know they are all loved (by all of us...close family). Sometimes I see his point, and other times I think that I was selfish and shouldn't have had my daughter....but I wouldn't trade knowing my daughter for anything. She gave me a grand daughter...again, I wouldn't trade it for anything. I've not tested and don't plan to...so far no symptoms. I think we kinda chose not knowing and just living life instead of testing and fearing what could be ahead of us. Everyone is different. I have a friend that watched his wife with HC...his daughter wants to get tested so if she does have it she'll not have kids and will probably adopt..... I guess I can see it from all sides....and understand them. I wish you nothing but wellness, happiness, love and blessing. You are not alone. If you wish you can friend me and have someone to kinda vent to...I do not mind at all. Best of luck!
In the final clip, when House says "I'll kill you", it's the biggest demonstration of how much he cares, because he doesn't say what everyone would, but he says what she actually want to hear, because, in the end, saying "I'm sorry', "you will be fine" wouldn't change the end, House's proposal would, he is the only one willing to actually help her.
By promising to end her life, House is risking everything that makes his life meaningful. The look of recognition on her face says it all. At that moment she realizes how much he truly loves her. "Greater love hath no man..."
Even if he can't go through with it when the time comes, his promise to her atleast takes the stress off her shoulders in the meantime, knowing she'll have an out and a supportive person until her time comes.
That's the beauty of the show, though, and its character building. We don't need that episode because we know House will keep his word. She most likely would want to die at home, allowing House to show up as things get bad.
@@jeffnak5598 Exactly, I think that it happened in the background and didn't need to be shown, because they both agreed to it silently in the car when House offered. It's just a "given" after that.
I always thought that THAT would make a great opening scene of a House movie. Him sneaking in to her house (since he’s “dead”) and killing her like she did for her brother in “The Dig” Then the movie could explore House’s life after he faked his death.
House M.D. may be the only series where a character can say "I'll kill you" in someone's face and have nothing but love and compassion for the person they've just said they're going to kill.
Lots of love and the biggest hugs go out from me to you...I've lost my dad to dementia 2 years ago, and I know exactly how you feel. I know nothing I can say will change the outcome, and I also know how hard it is to slowly have to say goodbye to somebody you love so much. Dementia is a b*tch! The more my dad's condition worsened, the more I tried to see him as a new person. Not dad anymore, but Joe. It did help me some...
House and 13 always had a mutual bond and respect for each other that no one else on the show came close to. Foreman broke trial protocol, but when it came down to risking his job for her, he backed out. 13 was different. She put her career on the line for her brother. She knew the outcome and did what was right to help her brother. This was basically the entire theme of House. Breaking rules to save lives. House also agreed at the end to kill her. But his last scene with her in S08E03, he saved her instead by firing her.
Huntington’s runs in my family. This show does a good job portraying the haunting feeling of being at risk or confirmed and presymptomatic. It also portrays the complex and contradictory feelings you develop toward a family member with the condition(the mental symptoms are even worse than the physical.) Most unrealistic part was seeing a man with Huntington’s successfully seated in a normal chair.
As someone who recently found out that my family members have Huntington's (I do not have it), learning about it on House back when the show was first airing genuinely helped me process what it looks like and what it means for my family now.
I and my 2 brothers were at risk. Our Mom and her Dad died from Huntingtons. Both were in their 60s. Out of 10 kids in my Mom's family, 3 developed the disease. One died in a car accident so who knows if he would have had it. Out of the three only one developed it in his 20s. Both others later but one committed suicide as did his son in their 6os. I never wanted to be tested. Only our younger brother had the disease and he died in nursing facility in his 40s. The disease doesn't look exactly as portrayed here but close. It is horrible and terrifying sickness.
When she first tells him her mum died of Huntington's his immediate "Im sorry" was genuine. He really did care about her and I think sh is one of the few people he genuinely respected.
One of the best storylines of anything I've seen on network. They understood each other so well through time and convo and moments of breathless, mental computation (that sounds cold but they had to measure moments and each other). Perhaps my fav not couple "coupling" ever.
i love seeing this lil videos of the show pop up on my timeline, house is probably one of my favorite shows and much before my time (22) first watched it in 2015 and came back to it just this year and i still love it !
Even if House is basically a psychopath sometimes... he offered her a grace of mercy even at the very end. Because to be fair, if I had Huntington's, I would rather someone do it for me, before I lost control of my entire body, or else I would do it myself. I'm already halfway there, because of damage from seizures that cause me to have random tics at times and lose control, sometimes much worse than others, and I'm not even 30. That's more of a blessing, than to have to suffer through it
I’m sorry that you are going through the health issues that you have. I have an auto-immune disorder that makes me susceptible to other illnesses. It’s discouraging and at times frustrating, uncomfortable and at times painful. Just remember that all life is sacred. I’m sure that you have people in your life that care about you. Your presence is important to them, even though at times simply existing may be painful or a challenge for you.
@@jimferris9447 Thank you for your kind words. I also have an autoimmune disease, RA, that is slowly destroying my joints. My knees, my hips, are all destroyed, but there's very little I can do besides what I already am doing
So bloody sorry for you, Tessa. I hope you have a person or space to rage and cry to about what you are going through, because you must need, and you deserve, that.
@@YourFavTessa isnt it possible for you to take an imunossupressant for the RA? Im wondering if it would interfere with HD. I have ankylosing spondilitis which is basically arthritis too but has some different symptoms. Im taking metrotrexate and adalimumab (aka humira) to slow it down. They give to people with RA too, psoriasis, lupus and crohn. Im 34
"I'll kill you" is honestly one of the kindest lines I've ever listen/read in any media. And the fact that it comes from someone like House adds an extra weight to it.
Seeing this.. i'm convinced thirteen is the only other person besides Wilson who House clued in on being alive. She would protect him since she knows he would go through with his promise.
"I'll kill you." House putting of his mask and letting her know in unambigious terms that he will be there for her when the time comes was predictable but epic nonetheless. The certainty and relief that statement gave her were the greatest gifts she could ever want in that stage of her life and it's none other than House to take away her ultimate fears. House was a great anti-hero and it's moments like these that were like cherries on top of the cake, making us "yeeees" inside for the guy we always rooted for.
In their very first exchange where she twists the truth right to his face without flinching, I adore the long, searching look he gives her when she doubles down on pretending nothing is wrong, because to House (at least in my interpretation), that not only confirms that he’s right that she’s hiding a medical condition, but he assumes it’s something fairly serious that she already knows about and is in denial of. Like he is definitely a little bit sad for her because he likes her, ON TOP of being highly intrigued. Because HE easily deduces that the answer is something horrible that she already either assumes or knows of, if she’s going to deflect and deny so ardently, like she was prepared for this interaction and had already gathered her composure to lie to his face (or close enough; she doesn’t know yet that she has it).
I love Thirteen. She was really into the character. Great actor, great story line. Thanks for merging all them into one video. I appreciate her even more.
I want a spin-off with Thirteen as a main character! She's a great, multi-layered character and I must admit that I had a crush on her. Would be great to see House and the others ftom her perspective and to see her past and future as well.
Perhaps a sequel House movie where he being reminded of his promise shows up expecting to have to kill 13 who is supposedly at the end of her long, degenerative arc. The mystery is that it turns out she does NOT have Huntington's or that somehow, the Huntington's is held at bay by something else. House is found by Big Love ("Cole"), somewhere in Central America, kidnapped by a cartel drug lord to be treated for a condition that none of the doctors can seem to diagnose. Big Love is there on a humanitarian aid mission to help refugees from the regional conflicts. House refuses to treat the drug lord w/o Big Love's help. The two collaborate and figure out the Drug Lord's condition and treat him in exchange for their freedom, and the Drug Lord's promise to provide free/safe passage for all the refugees. Big Love reveals that 13 is near the end. Big Love says that 13 said House made a promise to 13 (but doesn't know what the promise is). House remembers and commits to go back to the U.S. House elicits one more favor from the drug lord, smuggle HIM into the U.S. where he is supposed to be dead and thus cannot legally re-enter the U.S. The drug lord laughs and says, of course, this is why we did not bother to kill you...as you are already dead! Back in the U.S., House covertly checks in on 13 and discovers that the symptoms she's displaying are not typical of Huntington's Chorea, but something else. In fact, the Huntington's symptoms themselves seem to be stopped progressing. This baffled 13, who called Foreman to verify her suspicions and Foreman revealed to 13 that House is probably alive but out of the country. 13 knew that House would not give up his gift of deciphering medical mysteries and knowing Big Love routinely travels out of the U.S., asked him to keep an eye out for House. House is desperate to pull the team back together to solve 13's situation. House tells 13 to call Foreman. To his surprise, Foreman shows up with Chase. Foreman reveals that Chase also knows that House faked his death. Chase and Foreman have been trying to figure out what's going on but to no avail. From there, the story takes off.
House can be a jerk, but deep down he cares for his friends and his team members. Perfectly exemplified during Season 7 Episode 18 when he offers her to put her out of the misery of the disease. And I'd imagine after Wilson died and House living a full life, he did find Thirteen and did exactly what he promised 13.
This was brilliant, well done. Thanks for posting this. You captured the essence of these characters and their complex relationships perfectly. Showing exactly why House was a great show.
I know that Olivia Wilde has come into hot water due to her shenanigans with Harry Styles and isn't liked anymore in the media, but this compilation is a testament to her terrific acting talent.
This compilation reel isn't as much a testament to her acting talent as it is evidence of how 13-like she is in real life. Some of the statements she made about her first husband were disgraceful to say the least, and how her second husband made it a point to humiliate her in public subsequently hints at repeat comportment patterns. Not sure what the deal was with Harry Styles (she's free to be with whomever she pleases now that she's single, as everyone should be, in the public eye or not), but there was some friction with the actors on the first film she directed (which I saw and found well directed, maybe even enjoyable), which gave her and the film bad press, and are also indicative of certain traits. What I do know is that she did an outstanding job on House, acting as his younger, female, mirror image, or daughter figure, and elevated the show past its already excellent if not illustrious status.
I'll get burned but I don't think Hosue saw her as his daughter. She was his friend and he, more than once, admitted how attractive she was. He cared for her, she was one of the few people he truly cared for. Deep down, she cared for him too, probably hated she did. My favourite duo.
Thirteen was like House's daughter and I think he saw quite a few traits within her that he had himself. I didn't notice it until another comment pointed it out, but while Thirteen is begging House for any sort of emotional engagement after she confirmed his suspicions.. there's tears in his eyes. I'd like to think that even after House faked his death that when Thirteen is nearing the end of her disease, he'd still make sure to uphold the promise he kept for her. I think him offering to kill her was his way of saying "I love you." because they genuinely had a great chemistry throughout the show. House might not be the best at expressing he cares for people, but he'll be sure you know if he does care.
I understand her distancing from people trying to care for her. I have type 1 diabetes and when everyone who doesn’t have the disease is trying to tell you how to handle your disease it makes you want to pretend you don’t even have it. You stop telling people, which is dangerous, but it’s a game between bodily health and mental health
As someone with Huntingtons in the family, there's so much wrong with how they portray the disease. First of all, when you've got 50% chance of having a disease, you're not a timebomb. You could say that you are when you have the disease, but not when you've got the chance to have the disease. Second, you don't in all of a sudden have just 10 years left. It's different for everyone. You can develop symptoms when you're 1 or 100. You can die of old age, you can die a year after getting diagnosed. This is one of the reasons not to get tested: not being able to know when or how your illness will be can be gruelling. Add issues with privacy laws and insurance denial on top of that and you understand why you should never judge someone for not getting tested.
So I'm assuming when you are talking about a timebomb you are referring to to conversation at 3:28. If it is that part then he did say "If your mom had it there is a 50% chance you are a bomb" indicating there is a 50% she is a timebomb or 50% not. Onto your second point, she said she had 8-10 years, which obviously can be different but she likely got that number from a specialist in which that doctor likely would have said based on her mom it's likely going to hit around the same time. Doctors can be wrong but they usually go for the average based on how many patients they see it's what's most common. Your last point on never judging someone for not getting tested. House is always obsessed with his puzzles, he has to solve it. It's why he had to figure out what 13 had, he had to figure out what the guy with the gun had which is why he gave the gun back, he also had to figure out why 13 was in jail, and these are just examples from this compilation. That's why he's judging her for not getting tested because he needs to get the answer even if it would hurt him in the long run.
@@Howesitgoing1 For your first point: i think this might be up for debate on grammar, but I dont think many people would interprete House the same way as you do. It is crucial for a doctor to be clear in their language towards (possible) patients. Second point: there is no specialist who can tell you an average. Thats exactly my point. It doesn't matter what the progression of the illness in earlier generations looked like, you cannot know when or how the illness is going to show, and therefore you don't know a life expectancy. On the third: just because House needs to know does not mean he's got the rights to someone elses private medical information. To force her to know her diagnosis is to force her to face a future of certainty that you'll become a prisoner of your own body, without knowing how severe its going to be, or when it'll happen. This is a real illness. When you've seen what it does you realise it's something you really wouldn't wish upon your worst enemy. It is absolutely horrific. Please educate yourself before you comment your criticisms
@@RDSimonse 1st: we can agree he should’ve been more clear but most people who have watched it or read exactly the transcript got that it was what I said. 2nd: Every doctor can give an average, especially a specialist. In the show James Wilson is head of oncology, he gives estimates on life expectancy all the time based on average. Everyone knows life expectancy is what we can expect but not guarantee. 3rd: He doesn’t have the right but he forces his employees to face these things. He very well could say get tested or get fired because he couldn’t have someone on his team slowly losing control. He always says people should make informed decisions. He may not be in the right but it is consistent with his character. As Wilson said in a Christmas episode “You (House) tell people the cold hard truth all the time, you get off on it”.
I can see your point. However once you ‘know’ you need to deal with it for your family. There will a time when you won’t be able to tell them your wishes. All the best🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I would like to add these facts to yours, 1) In most cases it takes between 8-25yrs term when fatal with most sufferers developing and dying from Pneumonia. 2) infant Huntingtons is very rare and the common danger age for onset is between 50-75, but can develope in 30's & 40's. 3) You are absolutely correct about how testing positive for the gene, despite no onset affects one's life due to the attitude and stigma of the disease and is why most don't get tested, particularly when it will affects your blood line (kids, grand kids etc.) 4) It's not just a twitching that are the first signs, it's common for the initial sign to be a loss of balance and or slurred speech.
House never allowed anyone to experience the pain alone. He knew the pain of a chronic injury about losing someone you love. So he made sure he was with his friends Wilson , Thirteen. ❤
They left out the best scene (!!) where he picks her up from jail (unannounced; House has not confirmed on screen that he knows where she is when the rest of the team realize shes not in Rome), House dismissing and generously tipping the cabbie she had arranged so that when she walks out, the only one there is him. And as she approaches, genuinely surprised to see him, he says nothing, and simply mixes her a nice martini out of his travel bartending kit, which she downs in one.
You know what I want? An episode of thirteen in the hospital with advanced Huntingtons year in the future. And the whole team comes round and there's stories and flashbacks. And at the end a masked nurse limps in. Then we hear she died in her sleep
They should have done one more short clip, so that House gets to keep his promise. Cut to a hospital room. Thirteen is wracked with involuntary spasms from her Huntington's which has now a complete hold on her. The doctor is telling her that unfortunately the experimental treatment she was on is showing no signs of improvement. There's nothing more they can do for her other than making her as comfortable as possible and simply wait for the end. The full realisation of this hits her. There is no one and nothing to help her. She begs him to help her. He says there's nothing he can do. She tells him there is one thing he could do. She doesn't say it outright, but you can see on his face that he knows what she means. He considers it, but no. He cannot. It's his duty of care. He couldn't possibly do such a thing. He reiterates that they'll take good care of her, make her life more comfortable, and storms out of the room. Thirteen is left alone to contemplate the infinitely short time she still has to live. It's night now. Rain is falling, driving rivers of water on the windows to match the dried up tears on Thirteen's face. As she's looking out the window, she hears the door to her ward slide open. It's probably a nurse, here to make sure the pain can be extended for as long as possible. All we see is two feet wearing sports shoes with cheesy heel shock absorbers, along with a flaming cane stepping into the room. A man's voice says: "Is it time?" Thirteen turns around, eyes wide, brimming with tears again. As she breaks down she can say only one thing: "Yes. It's time." Fade to black.
Happier (but more unrealistic) ending. The last drug trial works and she says “you don’t need to keep your promise anymore”. Another happy ending: she adopts with her girlfriend and smiles while they play and she watches as her child shows one of her mannerisms. Knowing that even if all the medical achievements meant little to her, she will go with the knowledge that there will always be a part of her living on that won’t die or fade to the disease. She knows that even if the child hates her for the disease, it will come full circle once again and the child will grow and accept and understand
@@CristiNeagu just cus you're not doing it professionally doesn't mean you're not one, even if just for fun you should keep going ahead cus you've got some real promise here
Crazy how symptoms develop around age 30+, life span literally cut in half in a day by a piece of paper with results. Huntindgons sucks, its not a quick killer its a long death, family literally mourning the person before they've died and its incurable. HD is one of the main reasons sufferers look for assisted suicide. Hopefully its cured one day in the future. Genetics is hard to sort out though.
My dad, the last time I saw him, said if he had something to take he would. I said if I said if I had something I would give it to him. But I didn’t. A couple weeks later he came to me in a daybreak vision to show me he was leaving. When my vision ended the phone rang. He could barely move from the bone cancer. In my vision he was walking with his spirit guide. He was instantly healed .
I like to imagine that after he went on the run, she got a pay phone in the mail with a card that said something like, "when you're ready for that spud gun rematch" and she would know that it was his was of ensuring she could contact him- when it was time.
I've only been watching house through these videos recently but this one hits home pretty hard. Both of my Uncles had Huntington's Disease. They were my Mom's side but they were both good friends with my dad growing up. Unc would call the house phone around 9pm-2am and ask for my dad almost every other night for years. Most times he would answer and chat but sometimes they would let it just go to the answering machine just because of the sheer amount of calls lol. Without fail, Unc would just be SHREDDING his guitar because thats what they did growing up. He would leave 5 minute messages on that thing of him just going crazy on the guitar. It always made me laugh, he always had a smile on, they both did. I remember once i got a little older (around 15) I actually looked up what Huntington's was and learned about it being genetic. I asked my mom if my cousin had it and she told me that he chose not to get tested (we were about a year or 2 away from each other in age) Confused, I asked her why he would do that? Why wouldn't he want to know? She said that he didn't want to have his life determined by some disease. Similar to how 13 was. And I kind of understood. I wouldn't want something looming like that either. After my uncles funeral i never really saw my cousin anymore. He kind of disappeared, probably off to live his life. That was about 17 years ago and idk, this clip reminded me of him and made me wonder how hes doing. Death is a scary thing, but as of recent with my dad developing Alzheimer's and everything that happened with my uncles, I find the idea of forgetting your entire life and everything / everyone that made you who you are much more terrifying. Much love to anyone going through it. Live your life to the fullest. And enjoy the company of anyone willing to love you.
My X wife had it Huntington's I have three kids with her none of them have shown any signs of it thank God I give all thanks to God for that blessing and may she rest in peace . Amen
🤣👍🏽 or in the bathroom, accidentally freaking out my nurse 😮💨 wooooo boy I didn’t mean to do that 😅 I spent the rest of my hospital stay making sure they knew I was going to be in the bathroom for a few minutes 😅 their y’all in this profession have hard enough jobs, I’m not trying to make it more difficult by pulling a Houdini
Huntingtons is horrific. Thoses weeks when the swallowing becomes impossible and it had been decided ‘no IV Or assistance, you then just watch your love one starve to death………. It’s not a pleasant thing for anyone to go through. It’s the first time ‘euthanasia is a real thought!!!!!!!
We really need a short episode that has 13 laying in a hospital bed miserable just to have the janitor come in to clean up and ask her if she is ready to die. Revealing it's house and fulfilling his promise.
They really should make a movie or a one off episode showing house coming back to to kill 13 when Wilson’s dead, cheese it up with flash backs and the whole extended cast
Imagine a follow up House where he sneaks back from the dead, goes to thirteen's hospital room where she is dying. She wakes up and sees him thinking it must mean she's dead and says, "Oh no I went to hell."
I really wish that 13 coulda shown her whole family and house to come back to kill 13 to end her disease. Or even her living longer to go work with foreman and chase and one of them do it for her. It would made alot more seasons
I think House would be the one that would held (helped not held) her end her suffering. I do not see the others doing it even to help someone they love.
More seasons isn't always better. Think about how long the Walking Dead has dragged on. If it had ended between the third and sixth season, the show would have ended on a high. Not as a pop culture joke. House ended when it needed to.
@@otterpoppin Agree, there is no need to show what we already know is going to happen with the characters almost a decade after the final episode of the show. It would be like bringing back a new season of Friends just to show how the life of those characters ended up 20 years after the final episode when they left the apartment. House ended just at the moment when every single character moved on with their lives beyond the structure presented in the series itself. Everything that happens afterwards, we either already know or is in the hands of those characters, not us, nor we need to know.
@@PointReflexAnd we all know he'd do it, too - and just thinking about the life-changing difference this most precious of gifts would have made to her, just sets me off bawling all over again!😭😭
35:54 I hate sequels or extra episodes in TV shows but this definitely deserves a special episode show all on its own and I have faith at least 60% of previous House lovers will come back to watch to have their heart strings struck again.
I'd love a series set now with 13 dealing with her illness and House is helping her in secret or something because hes still on the run after faking his death to spend that last bit of time with Wilson.
That would make me feel better knowing if I had a debilitating condition that would rob me of everything that someone I knew and respect would be willing to “ end my suffering “
If people don’t really understand Huntington’s disease is called the devils disease also the suicide disease because of the astronomical suicide rate when diagnosed. In fact you can’t even get tested unless you go to therapy first and the therapist signs off on it. That’s how horrible this disease is.
When "I'll kill you" are the most caring and empathetic words ever said by a character, you know the writers are brilliant.

Huntingtons is a nightmare. Not just because it makes life short and crazy hard but because a lot of people find out after they’ve had children. Imagine living knowing that there is a 50 percent chance your children will get it and that you as a parent won’t be there to nurse them.
This show was the first time I heard about Huntington's. I'm a utility worker, and I went to a house when the gentleman told me that he had it. It was terrifying to me.
And they will have probably an even worse version of the disease...
My Nan had it, died aged 50, my uncle had it, died at 52, my Cousin now has tested for it and it's vicious. Symptoms progress from clumsiness to literal loss of reality, reverting to a childhood state, then total muscle loss and eventually inability to swallow. It sucks, it's rare but genetic. Think motor neurone and dementia combined.
my mom has it. She is on the late stages of it. I'm to afraid to test myself for it. I don't know, I can't explain...
@@NiceVideoThereBro soon we'll be able to fix this, crispr will be able to fix that one gene. I can't wait till this disorder is a relic of history
The fact that every single facet of House's snarky veneer fades as soon as she says Huntington's and he musters up every ounce of genuine remorse for his apology is well done.
He returns to the snark shortly after, but he recognizes he's been poking into her mortality and he apologizes for it.
I never noticed how at 35:28 house had tears in his eyes... it makes his offer to kill thirteen so much more meaningful
Yeah me too. Still Thirteen ripped him off with her words 💔
@vaish7504 she wasn't wrong, from her position. It's a romantic illusion to think two broken people can fix each other. So, great scene! Excellent acting, both of them, and excellent writing. House will always be my favorite TV show and Thirteen my favorite character in it.
I don't know if that's a tear, I think you just want to see that he has a level of emotional depth that as a character he doesn't really have. Everyone's guilty of this sometimes
@@aregularguytm ...uh, what? I'm literally just saying I don't think it's a tear, I wasn't attacking your opinion or something. Like dude, it's a fictional character, lmao

I didn’t see any tears in his eyes
She's a really interesting character. Great dynamic with House, I only find her relationship with Foreman was a bit forced into the script. I also gotta praise Olivia Wilde for the portrayal. That cocktail of emotions she displays around the 35 minute mark is quite something.
How was the romance forced though.
It feels forced because they have no chemistry. She does a poor job of acting as Foreman's gf because she doesn't seem attracted to him like at all 😂 maybe they have some beef in real life during the shooting who knows?
Yes I agree it's forced.
Unlike Chase and Cameron
13 did do things to distract herself from her illness so it's possible the entire thing with foreman was just another way to cope with her shortened life. She wanted to feel something other than impending doom, but eventually just gave up.
Admittedly it's been a while since i've seen the show, and it's also very likely that the writers just couldn't make it organic.

Thank you for sharing
i would like some hugs as i am almost 50 and diagnose with HD
@@lexiyoutube hugs for you too.
@@Plottoberry Thank you so much!! 😘❤
This was a great compilation of her story line, thanks for making it.
Majy years ago i worked in a long term psych residential facility. We had a resident, schizophrenic who really didn't have control of her body. Her doctor & psychiatrist thought she had really bad side effects of the long term use of antipsychotics, very common in older psych patients who were prescribed certain medications before the newer ones with less side effects came out. The patient was admitted to the hospital, with pneumonia, i think. A medical student did an in-depth medical & family history of her. And convinced the attending doctor to run genetic testing. She had Huntington's Chorea. And was pretty far advanced. Her family took her home to spend her last few months with her family. What made it even sadder was, right before her diagnosis, her son told that she was going to be a grandmother. Her son had a 50/50 chance of inheriting Huntington's from his mom. And if he was positive, he had a 50/50 chance of passing it on to his unborn child
god that is absolutely tragic
Life really is a cruel thing sometimes

Was the patient schizophrenic at all or was it huntingtons ?
@@olliephelan both
She had been diagnosed and treated for schizophrenia as a young adult, since the mid 1960's. It wasn't until she was in her 60's that she was diagnosed with Huntingtons

Will try again next semester.. thanks house and 13
A few 37: minutes
And I'll just watch just 1 video before bed...
Update- I wanted many more than 1 video...
I love how Thirteen started as a mystery and it always kept revealing into even more mysteries, ranging from her actual name, sexual preference, her genetic disease, her criminal record even her sibling existence was a mystery. and to top that up, they left her future as a mystery. we all know she "okayed" house's offer. we only could assume he kept his part when the time came. she's top 3 IMO
+ I'm a simp when it come to Olivia Wilde!
As someone who is dealing with being diagnosed with HD, I can completely empathize with 13. I think she did a fantastic job showcasing the heart wrenching emotions that manifest when finding out you have it.
I hope you’re doing well and enjoy your life for as long as possible.
@@artastic_23 thank you 😊
I watched my mom and her sister (only sibling) fight HC....now watching my baby brother deal with symptoms and not wanting to know for sure with diagnosis. He is in his early 30s. I'm in my 50s, sister in her 50s and another brother in his 40s. We all kinda chose not to know. I have a daughter...sister had 3 sons...brother has 3 kids...baby brother (dealing with HC) has 2 kids both under 7yrs old. I sometimes think we were selfish having kids since there is such a chance to pass HC on to them....brother says that we gave life to the kids and gave them a chance for happiness and to know they are all loved (by all of us...close family). Sometimes I see his point, and other times I think that I was selfish and shouldn't have had my daughter....but I wouldn't trade knowing my daughter for anything. She gave me a grand daughter...again, I wouldn't trade it for anything. I've not tested and don't plan to...so far no symptoms. I think we kinda chose not knowing and just living life instead of testing and fearing what could be ahead of us.
Everyone is different. I have a friend that watched his wife with HC...his daughter wants to get tested so if she does have it she'll not have kids and will probably adopt.....
I guess I can see it from all sides....and understand them.

In the final clip, when House says "I'll kill you", it's the biggest demonstration of how much he cares, because he doesn't say what everyone would, but he says what she actually want to hear, because, in the end, saying "I'm sorry', "you will be fine" wouldn't change the end, House's proposal would, he is the only one willing to actually help her.
By promising to end her life, House is risking everything that makes his life meaningful. The look of recognition on her face says it all. At that moment she realizes how much he truly loves her.
"Greater love hath no man..."
Even if he can't go through with it when the time comes, his promise to her atleast takes the stress off her shoulders in the meantime, knowing she'll have an out and a supportive person until her time comes.
It's horrid, he is promising to murder someone.
@@coolbreeze5683Oh…he will most definitely kill her.
Id still love a single episode of House returning into her life and fulfilling his promise to her.
That's the beauty of the show, though, and its character building. We don't need that episode because we know House will keep his word. She most likely would want to die at home, allowing House to show up as things get bad.
@@jeffnak5598 Exactly, I think that it happened in the background and didn't need to be shown, because they both agreed to it silently in the car when House offered. It's just a "given" after that.
I always thought that THAT would make a great opening scene of a House movie. Him sneaking in to her house (since he’s “dead”) and killing her like she did for her brother in “The Dig” Then the movie could explore House’s life after he faked his death.
@@hollyb6885 That's a pretty top notch idea, TBH.

House M.D. may be the only series where a character can say "I'll kill you" in someone's face and have nothing but love and compassion for the person they've just said they're going to kill.

House and 13 always had a mutual bond and respect for each other that no one else on the show came close to. Foreman broke trial protocol, but when it came down to risking his job for her, he backed out. 13 was different. She put her career on the line for her brother. She knew the outcome and did what was right to help her brother. This was basically the entire theme of House. Breaking rules to save lives. House also agreed at the end to kill her. But his last scene with her in S08E03, he saved her instead by firing her.

Huntington’s runs in my family. This show does a good job portraying the haunting feeling of being at risk or confirmed and presymptomatic. It also portrays the complex and contradictory feelings you develop toward a family member with the condition(the mental symptoms are even worse than the physical.)
Most unrealistic part was seeing a man with Huntington’s successfully seated in a normal chair.
This show’s characters are so complex and well portrayed by the actors it makes you truly hypnotised by it
As someone who recently found out that my family members have Huntington's (I do not have it), learning about it on House back when the show was first airing genuinely helped me process what it looks like and what it means for my family now.
I and my 2 brothers were at risk. Our Mom and her Dad died from Huntingtons. Both were in their 60s. Out of 10 kids in my Mom's family, 3 developed the disease. One died in a car accident so who knows if he would have had it. Out of the three only one developed it in his 20s. Both others later but one committed suicide as did his son in their 6os. I never wanted to be tested. Only our younger brother had the disease and he died in nursing facility in his 40s. The disease doesn't look exactly as portrayed here but close. It is horrible and terrifying sickness.
I am very sorry to see what a cruel destiny your familiy had. I hope that you and the others in your family will be ok. Kudos.
It's really hard for actors to portray these illnesses correctly.
When she first tells him her mum died of Huntington's his immediate "Im sorry" was genuine.
He really did care about her and I think sh is one of the few people he genuinely respected.
After she drugged him and took his liver biopsi without local anesthesia.
@@TheAlwaysPreparednot unlike something House would have done to her.
Olivia Wilde already knew in what she was getting into interning for *HOUSE*
Exactly 😳👍🏽
House and Thirteen are like father and daughter 🥺
Chase is the baby brother..
Wow, amazing actress. Her during the scene in the forest with house shows why they are both phenomenal.
One of the best storylines of anything I've seen on network. They understood each other so well through time and convo and moments of breathless, mental computation (that sounds cold but they had to measure moments and each other). Perhaps my fav not couple "coupling" ever.
i love seeing this lil videos of the show pop up on my timeline, house is probably one of my favorite shows and much before my time (22) first watched it in 2015 and came back to it just this year and i still love it !
Even if House is basically a psychopath sometimes... he offered her a grace of mercy even at the very end. Because to be fair, if I had Huntington's, I would rather someone do it for me, before I lost control of my entire body, or else I would do it myself. I'm already halfway there, because of damage from seizures that cause me to have random tics at times and lose control, sometimes much worse than others, and I'm not even 30. That's more of a blessing, than to have to suffer through it
I’m sorry about what you are going through. I hope you are surrounded with love and support.
I’m sorry that you are going through the health issues that you have. I have an auto-immune disorder that makes me susceptible to other illnesses. It’s discouraging and at times frustrating, uncomfortable and at times painful. Just remember that all life is sacred. I’m sure that you have people in your life that care about you. Your presence is important to them, even though at times simply existing may be painful or a challenge for you.

@@YourFavTessa isnt it possible for you to take an imunossupressant for the RA? Im wondering if it would interfere with HD. I have ankylosing spondilitis which is basically arthritis too but has some different symptoms. Im taking metrotrexate and adalimumab (aka humira) to slow it down. They give to people with RA too, psoriasis, lupus and crohn. Im 34
Holy sh**. A 37 minute video. This is what i needed today.
"I'll kill you" is honestly one of the kindest lines I've ever listen/read in any media. And the fact that it comes from someone like House adds an extra weight to it.
Seeing this.. i'm convinced thirteen is the only other person besides Wilson who House clued in on being alive. She would protect him since she knows he would go through with his promise.
"I'll kill you." House putting of his mask and letting her know in unambigious terms that he will be there for her when the time comes was predictable but epic nonetheless. The certainty and relief that statement gave her were the greatest gifts she could ever want in that stage of her life and it's none other than House to take away her ultimate fears.
House was a great anti-hero and it's moments like these that were like cherries on top of the cake, making us "yeeees" inside for the guy we always rooted for.
In their very first exchange where she twists the truth right to his face without flinching, I adore the long, searching look he gives her when she doubles down on pretending nothing is wrong, because to House (at least in my interpretation), that not only confirms that he’s right that she’s hiding a medical condition, but he assumes it’s something fairly serious that she already knows about and is in denial of. Like he is definitely a little bit sad for her because he likes her, ON TOP of being highly intrigued. Because HE easily deduces that the answer is something horrible that she already either assumes or knows of, if she’s going to deflect and deny so ardently, like she was prepared for this interaction and had already gathered her composure to lie to his face (or close enough; she doesn’t know yet that she has it).
I love Thirteen. She was really into the character. Great actor, great story line. Thanks for merging all them into one video. I appreciate her even more.
I want a spin-off with Thirteen as a main character! She's a great, multi-layered character and I must admit that I had a crush on her. Would be great to see House and the others ftom her perspective and to see her past and future as well.
this would absolutely crush me because there couldn't be a happy ending
@@Cheffamily Nothing wrong with feeling sad sometimes.
Perhaps a sequel House movie where he being reminded of his promise shows up expecting to have to kill 13 who is supposedly at the end of her long, degenerative arc. The mystery is that it turns out she does NOT have Huntington's or that somehow, the Huntington's is held at bay by something else. House is found by Big Love ("Cole"), somewhere in Central America, kidnapped by a cartel drug lord to be treated for a condition that none of the doctors can seem to diagnose. Big Love is there on a humanitarian aid mission to help refugees from the regional conflicts. House refuses to treat the drug lord w/o Big Love's help. The two collaborate and figure out the Drug Lord's condition and treat him in exchange for their freedom, and the Drug Lord's promise to provide free/safe passage for all the refugees. Big Love reveals that 13 is near the end. Big Love says that 13 said House made a promise to 13 (but doesn't know what the promise is). House remembers and commits to go back to the U.S. House elicits one more favor from the drug lord, smuggle HIM into the U.S. where he is supposed to be dead and thus cannot legally re-enter the U.S. The drug lord laughs and says, of course, this is why we did not bother to kill you...as you are already dead!
Back in the U.S., House covertly checks in on 13 and discovers that the symptoms she's displaying are not typical of Huntington's Chorea, but something else. In fact, the Huntington's symptoms themselves seem to be stopped progressing. This baffled 13, who called Foreman to verify her suspicions and Foreman revealed to 13 that House is probably alive but out of the country. 13 knew that House would not give up his gift of deciphering medical mysteries and knowing Big Love routinely travels out of the U.S., asked him to keep an eye out for House.
House is desperate to pull the team back together to solve 13's situation. House tells 13 to call Foreman. To his surprise, Foreman shows up with Chase. Foreman reveals that Chase also knows that House faked his death. Chase and Foreman have been trying to figure out what's going on but to no avail. From there, the story takes off.
I love this channel so much for still posting! Thirteen was, is, will always be my favorite character.
House can be a jerk, but deep down he cares for his friends and his team members. Perfectly exemplified during Season 7 Episode 18 when he offers her to put her out of the misery of the disease. And I'd imagine after Wilson died and House living a full life, he did find Thirteen and did exactly what he promised 13.
Three of my seven sisters were born with Huntington's mental disability & die from it one sister died from CopD breathing problem.
Wow! That is way too much tragedy for a family. I'm sorry.
@@justlucky8254 thank you.
So, so sorry, Wayne.
I’m so sorry wayne❤️
thirteen is one of the most beautifully heartbreaking characters in the series
This was brilliant, well done. Thanks for posting this. You captured the essence of these characters and their complex relationships perfectly. Showing exactly why House was a great show.
I like how they represented this disease, I feel like it helps me rationalize some of my own experience with this disease
I know that Olivia Wilde has come into hot water due to her shenanigans with Harry Styles and isn't liked anymore in the media, but this compilation is a testament to her terrific acting talent.
I like her as an actress. Personally? Absolutely not.
She's also a pretty good director, I really enjoyed Booksmart. Haven't watched Dwd yet
This compilation reel isn't as much a testament to her acting talent as it is evidence of how 13-like she is in real life. Some of the statements she made about her first husband were disgraceful to say the least, and how her second husband made it a point to humiliate her in public subsequently hints at repeat comportment patterns.
Not sure what the deal was with Harry Styles (she's free to be with whomever she pleases now that she's single, as everyone should be, in the public eye or not), but there was some friction with the actors on the first film she directed (which I saw and found well directed, maybe even enjoyable), which gave her and the film bad press, and are also indicative of certain traits.
What I do know is that she did an outstanding job on House, acting as his younger, female, mirror image, or daughter figure, and elevated the show past its already excellent if not illustrious status.
This storyline was absolutely heartbreaking. I don’t remember it being that many seasons long but it really showed House’shumanity.
I'll get burned but I don't think Hosue saw her as his daughter. She was his friend and he, more than once, admitted how attractive she was. He cared for her, she was one of the few people he truly cared for. Deep down, she cared for him too, probably hated she did. My favourite duo.
Thirteen was like House's daughter and I think he saw quite a few traits within her that he had himself. I didn't notice it until another comment pointed it out, but while Thirteen is begging House for any sort of emotional engagement after she confirmed his suspicions.. there's tears in his eyes. I'd like to think that even after House faked his death that when Thirteen is nearing the end of her disease, he'd still make sure to uphold the promise he kept for her. I think him offering to kill her was his way of saying "I love you." because they genuinely had a great chemistry throughout the show. House might not be the best at expressing he cares for people, but he'll be sure you know if he does care.
I understand her distancing from people trying to care for her. I have type 1 diabetes and when everyone who doesn’t have the disease is trying to tell you how to handle your disease it makes you want to pretend you don’t even have it. You stop telling people, which is dangerous, but it’s a game between bodily health and mental health
As someone with Huntingtons in the family, there's so much wrong with how they portray the disease. First of all, when you've got 50% chance of having a disease, you're not a timebomb. You could say that you are when you have the disease, but not when you've got the chance to have the disease. Second, you don't in all of a sudden have just 10 years left. It's different for everyone. You can develop symptoms when you're 1 or 100. You can die of old age, you can die a year after getting diagnosed. This is one of the reasons not to get tested: not being able to know when or how your illness will be can be gruelling. Add issues with privacy laws and insurance denial on top of that and you understand why you should never judge someone for not getting tested.
So I'm assuming when you are talking about a timebomb you are referring to to conversation at 3:28. If it is that part then he did say "If your mom had it there is a 50% chance you are a bomb" indicating there is a 50% she is a timebomb or 50% not. Onto your second point, she said she had 8-10 years, which obviously can be different but she likely got that number from a specialist in which that doctor likely would have said based on her mom it's likely going to hit around the same time. Doctors can be wrong but they usually go for the average based on how many patients they see it's what's most common. Your last point on never judging someone for not getting tested. House is always obsessed with his puzzles, he has to solve it. It's why he had to figure out what 13 had, he had to figure out what the guy with the gun had which is why he gave the gun back, he also had to figure out why 13 was in jail, and these are just examples from this compilation. That's why he's judging her for not getting tested because he needs to get the answer even if it would hurt him in the long run.
@@Howesitgoing1 For your first point: i think this might be up for debate on grammar, but I dont think many people would interprete House the same way as you do. It is crucial for a doctor to be clear in their language towards (possible) patients. Second point: there is no specialist who can tell you an average. Thats exactly my point. It doesn't matter what the progression of the illness in earlier generations looked like, you cannot know when or how the illness is going to show, and therefore you don't know a life expectancy. On the third: just because House needs to know does not mean he's got the rights to someone elses private medical information. To force her to know her diagnosis is to force her to face a future of certainty that you'll become a prisoner of your own body, without knowing how severe its going to be, or when it'll happen. This is a real illness. When you've seen what it does you realise it's something you really wouldn't wish upon your worst enemy. It is absolutely horrific. Please educate yourself before you comment your criticisms
@@RDSimonse 1st: we can agree he should’ve been more clear but most people who have watched it or read exactly the transcript got that it was what I said. 2nd: Every doctor can give an average, especially a specialist. In the show James Wilson is head of oncology, he gives estimates on life expectancy all the time based on average. Everyone knows life expectancy is what we can expect but not guarantee. 3rd: He doesn’t have the right but he forces his employees to face these things. He very well could say get tested or get fired because he couldn’t have someone on his team slowly losing control. He always says people should make informed decisions. He may not be in the right but it is consistent with his character. As Wilson said in a Christmas episode “You (House) tell people the cold hard truth all the time, you get off on it”.
I can see your point. However once you ‘know’ you need to deal with it for your family. There will a time when you won’t be able to tell them your wishes. All the best🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I would like to add these facts to yours,
1) In most cases it takes between 8-25yrs term when fatal with most sufferers developing and dying from Pneumonia.
2) infant Huntingtons is very rare and the common danger age for onset is between 50-75, but can develope in 30's & 40's.
3) You are absolutely correct about how testing positive for the gene, despite no onset affects one's life due to the attitude and stigma of the disease and is why most don't get tested, particularly when it will affects your blood line (kids, grand kids etc.)
4) It's not just a twitching that are the first signs, it's common for the initial sign to be a loss of balance and or slurred speech.
House never allowed anyone to experience the pain alone. He knew the pain of a chronic injury about losing someone you love. So he made sure he was with his friends Wilson , Thirteen. ❤
That "I will kill you" made me a little weepy eyed
They left out the best scene (!!) where he picks her up from jail (unannounced; House has not confirmed on screen that he knows where she is when the rest of the team realize shes not in Rome), House dismissing and generously tipping the cabbie she had arranged so that when she walks out, the only one there is him. And as she approaches, genuinely surprised to see him, he says nothing, and simply mixes her a nice martini out of his travel bartending kit, which she downs in one.

You know what I want? An episode of thirteen in the hospital with advanced Huntingtons year in the future. And the whole team comes round and there's stories and flashbacks. And at the end a masked nurse limps in. Then we hear she died in her sleep
I like to think that House found a way to communicate with Thirteen after Wilson passed and let her know he would keep his promise.
They should have done one more short clip, so that House gets to keep his promise.
Cut to a hospital room. Thirteen is wracked with involuntary spasms from her Huntington's which has now a complete hold on her. The doctor is telling her that unfortunately the experimental treatment she was on is showing no signs of improvement. There's nothing more they can do for her other than making her as comfortable as possible and simply wait for the end. The full realisation of this hits her. There is no one and nothing to help her. She begs him to help her. He says there's nothing he can do. She tells him there is one thing he could do. She doesn't say it outright, but you can see on his face that he knows what she means. He considers it, but no. He cannot. It's his duty of care. He couldn't possibly do such a thing. He reiterates that they'll take good care of her, make her life more comfortable, and storms out of the room. Thirteen is left alone to contemplate the infinitely short time she still has to live.
It's night now. Rain is falling, driving rivers of water on the windows to match the dried up tears on Thirteen's face. As she's looking out the window, she hears the door to her ward slide open. It's probably a nurse, here to make sure the pain can be extended for as long as possible. All we see is two feet wearing sports shoes with cheesy heel shock absorbers, along with a flaming cane stepping into the room. A man's voice says: "Is it time?" Thirteen turns around, eyes wide, brimming with tears again. As she breaks down she can say only one thing: "Yes. It's time."
Fade to black.
Happier (but more unrealistic) ending. The last drug trial works and she says “you don’t need to keep your promise anymore”.
Another happy ending: she adopts with her girlfriend and smiles while they play and she watches as her child shows one of her mannerisms. Knowing that even if all the medical achievements meant little to her, she will go with the knowledge that there will always be a part of her living on that won’t die or fade to the disease.
She knows that even if the child hates her for the disease, it will come full circle once again and the child will grow and accept and understand
Oh, I like that script... are you a writer??
@@vivik959 Sometimes I like to pretend I am one
@@CristiNeagu let me know when you do. I'll be your biggest fan!! 🤗
@@CristiNeagu just cus you're not doing it professionally doesn't mean you're not one, even if just for fun you should keep going ahead cus you've got some real promise here
Crazy how symptoms develop around age 30+, life span literally cut in half in a day by a piece of paper with results. Huntindgons sucks, its not a quick killer its a long death, family literally mourning the person before they've died and its incurable. HD is one of the main reasons sufferers look for assisted suicide. Hopefully its cured one day in the future. Genetics is hard to sort out though.
My dad, the last time I saw him, said if he had something to take he would. I said if I said if I had something I would give it to him. But I didn’t.
A couple weeks later he came to me in a daybreak vision to show me he was leaving. When my vision ended the phone rang.
He could barely move from the bone cancer. In my vision he was walking with his spirit guide. He was instantly healed .
I like to imagine that after he went on the run, she got a pay phone in the mail with a card that said something like, "when you're ready for that spud gun rematch" and she would know that it was his was of ensuring she could contact him- when it was time.

House and 13, the Daddy-Daughter Duo of the decade
Chase is the baby brother..
I've only been watching house through these videos recently but this one hits home pretty hard. Both of my Uncles had Huntington's Disease. They were my Mom's side but they were both good friends with my dad growing up. Unc would call the house phone around 9pm-2am and ask for my dad almost every other night for years. Most times he would answer and chat but sometimes they would let it just go to the answering machine just because of the sheer amount of calls lol. Without fail, Unc would just be SHREDDING his guitar because thats what they did growing up. He would leave 5 minute messages on that thing of him just going crazy on the guitar. It always made me laugh, he always had a smile on, they both did. I remember once i got a little older (around 15) I actually looked up what Huntington's was and learned about it being genetic. I asked my mom if my cousin had it and she told me that he chose not to get tested (we were about a year or 2 away from each other in age) Confused, I asked her why he would do that? Why wouldn't he want to know? She said that he didn't want to have his life determined by some disease. Similar to how 13 was. And I kind of understood. I wouldn't want something looming like that either. After my uncles funeral i never really saw my cousin anymore. He kind of disappeared, probably off to live his life. That was about 17 years ago and idk, this clip reminded me of him and made me wonder how hes doing. Death is a scary thing, but as of recent with my dad developing Alzheimer's and everything that happened with my uncles, I find the idea of forgetting your entire life and everything / everyone that made you who you are much more terrifying.
Much love to anyone going through it. Live your life to the fullest. And enjoy the company of anyone willing to love you.
My X wife had it Huntington's I have three kids with her none of them have shown any signs of it thank God I give all thanks to God for that blessing and may she rest in peace . Amen
Just because they ain't showing signs doesn't mean they won't end uo having jt si get them tested bro
And also stop thanking god
Isn’t God the reason she had the disease? And isn’t there a 50/50 chance any of your kids have it?
POV. You are hiding in examining room one to watch this video.
🤣👍🏽 or in the bathroom, accidentally freaking out my nurse 😮💨 wooooo boy I didn’t mean to do that 😅 I spent the rest of my hospital stay making sure they knew I was going to be in the bathroom for a few minutes 😅 their y’all in this profession have hard enough jobs, I’m not trying to make it more difficult by pulling a Houdini
My MRI's of the brain always include a head cage to prevent movement, like she just did before saying she was trying not to move.
How Hugh Laurie never won an Emmy is an absolute travesty. He was magnificent. ❤❤
Huntingtons is horrific. Thoses weeks when the swallowing becomes impossible and it had been decided ‘no IV Or assistance, you then just watch your love one starve to death………. It’s not a pleasant thing for anyone to go through. It’s the first time ‘euthanasia is a real thought!!!!!!!
Agree. There are some diseases where euthanasia is moral
We really need a short episode that has 13 laying in a hospital bed miserable just to have the janitor come in to clean up and ask her if she is ready to die. Revealing it's house and fulfilling his promise.
House's greatest sin is not letting Thirteen know he faked his death.
tbf we dont know if he did or didn't, he could have in the future since he told thirteen he would kill her when her huntingtons got bad
After Wilson dies he could pay her a visit. I'd like to think 13 already knew he faked it at the funeral.
He definitely keeps his word.
A post about my favorite character? AAAAAAA
They really should make a movie or a one off episode showing house coming back to to kill 13 when Wilson’s dead, cheese it up with flash backs and the whole extended cast
I love that ending. So beautiful 😂
Imagine a follow up House where he sneaks back from the dead, goes to thirteen's hospital room where she is dying. She wakes up and sees him thinking it must mean she's dead and says, "Oh no I went to hell."
I never thought saying, I'll kill you could sound so sweet❤
''you don't because i don't know!''
I really wish that 13 coulda shown her whole family and house to come back to kill 13 to end her disease. Or even her living longer to go work with foreman and chase and one of them do it for her. It would made alot more seasons
I think House would be the one that would held (helped not held) her end her suffering. I do not see the others doing it even to help someone they love.
More seasons isn't always better. Think about how long the Walking Dead has dragged on. If it had ended between the third and sixth season, the show would have ended on a high. Not as a pop culture joke.
House ended when it needed to.
@@otterpoppin Agree, there is no need to show what we already know is going to happen with the characters almost a decade after the final episode of the show. It would be like bringing back a new season of Friends just to show how the life of those characters ended up 20 years after the final episode when they left the apartment.
House ended just at the moment when every single character moved on with their lives beyond the structure presented in the series itself. Everything that happens afterwards, we either already know or is in the hands of those characters, not us, nor we need to know.
@@PointReflexAnd we all know he'd do it, too - and just thinking about the life-changing difference this most precious of gifts would have made to her, just sets me off bawling all over again!😭😭
Strongest female character. Only competition is Cudy
Had to look up what the “vote for change 08” was referring to, can’t believe it’s been 16 years
35:54 I hate sequels or extra episodes in TV shows but this definitely deserves a special episode show all on its own and I have faith at least 60% of previous House lovers will come back to watch to have their heart strings struck again.
I found a picture in your wallet. I wasn’t snooping. I needed lunch money. Love it 🤣
So much medical knowledge in every sentence. Awesome
I'd love a series set now with 13 dealing with her illness and House is helping her in secret or something because hes still on the run after faking his death to spend that last bit of time with Wilson.
Gulp. So accurate. Fantastic writing and even better acting
Yes he wants her on the team, but he also cares about her. Chase and 13 are his kids--his proteges.
I start watching this and I couldn't stop
It’s heartbreaking to know I myself have an incurable disease, and thirteen has portrayed the character so amazing.
Best Realationship in the Series
That would make me feel better knowing if I had a debilitating condition that would rob me of everything that someone I knew and respect would be willing to “ end my suffering “
Awesome channel with awesome form of new movie about Haus!!
This video definitely made my day! I look forward to new videos from you
I'm not finished but thanks so much for your compilation here!
If people don’t really understand Huntington’s disease is called the devils disease also the suicide disease because of the astronomical suicide rate when diagnosed. In fact you can’t even get tested unless you go to therapy first and the therapist signs off on it. That’s how horrible this disease is.
I haven't seen these episodes about her and her disease. I miss this show; wish it would come back. The writers are great!!
Honestly, house is a show that's really educative not just fun. It's truly in my opinion the best tv show!
