@@scottmatheson3346 at the risk of a wooosh, my comment was an old adage about harsh honesty, I'd say it's quite poetic to how House acts in poor taste, yet he saves so many lives.
One of my favorites was when the mom killed her baby and the husband wanted to put the blame all on her, but House called him out on ignoring her depression, going out drinking, and leaving her alone with their baby know full well she was down bad
Writing 101 -- have variety in your scenes. House's intense, heartfelt 1-on-1 talks with his patients work so well BECAUSE most of the time he's acerbic, rude, sarcastic, and mean. Allowing these moments to be sparse -- and, specifically, built up after periods of him acting like a jerk -- make them impactful and give them meaning. Compare and contrast Cameron -- who's nearly ALWAYS just tripping over herself to try and ACT like this, constantly, but because it's her default, it doesn't work.
This is one of several episodes where being an obnoxious fanboy saved the life of someone he was a fan of (or obsessed with). There was that time he kidnapped the television actor because he diagnosed him just based on what he saw on TV.
@@quillmaurer6563 I loved the ep where he saw his favorite actor on some show not doing things quickly enough or something and brought him to the hospital )
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.
That's literally almost every House episode though. Almost every patient has not only medical mystery but some also a personal one. It IS a great episode though, I agree.
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
@@tommo258 that’s a philosophical question He straight up lied but for good reasons And selfish ones as well She left in peace so I guess the motives are secondary
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!
Funny thing is that he lied to her. Her son didn't have any anneurysm and would have been fine if she hadn't let him drive that day. One of the kindest things House has done for pacients in the latter seasons.
@@SwiftTelly20 Right. So this lady let her son drive on a rainy day and had an accident that resulted in the son dying. This lead to her blaming herself and becoming depressed, which is why she was determined to kill herself. House figured all of this out and lied to her by saying that her son had an anneurysm, which caused the accident, and that he would have died that day anyway. He did it so she would stop blaming herself and put an end to her suicidal intentions.
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.
Well it's kinda obvious if you know that even clotted blood doesn't show up on an X-ray very well. What he is pointing at is the reflection caused by the External Acoustic Meatus (where your Inner Ear parts are) which shows up very bright from the side due to the depth of bone from that angle. He absolutely lied, but he also saved a live through that lie by allowing her to let go of the guilt.
@@Eldersh1eld Your relatives have nothing to do with this. To some it might seem weird than a cynical genius like House watched soap operas and read teenage books. Not only he watched/read them - he got involved to the point of joining fan-clubs and even pestering authors/actors - just like some over-enthusiastic fans would. It's just funny and idiosyncratic.
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.
It's not just about the chase. He still stopped her from doing this even after solving the puzzle - partially for selfish reason but partially out of kindness (I believe).
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.
When I was in the hospital with leg amputations, I would make the same joke in reverse. making people uncomfortable; tis the spice of comedy. It let them know I wasn't out of the fight.
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.
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.
That's probably why house lied to her. If it were her fault, House wouldn't have bothered, but it wasn't, so he took the easiest route possible to free her of the guilt she didn't have any good reason to hold on to
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
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.
I thought that immediately, too - can’t remember if that’s the actual way this episode went or not, but that would be 100% true to House’s persona. LOL.
Yes he was, but he realized that she would never forgive herself. He lied so she would be "cured" and could finish the book in a satisfying manner. She then "double-crossed" him and didn't rewrite the ending of the book, but she did get peace and a new lease on life.
Oh! That was such a great show. I usually don't cry but the scene where Foreman plays her husband and tells her that the accident wasn't her fault so she was able to die in peace.
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
He doesn't. When she says she's gonna stop making books he gets pissed off and Cuddy has to stop him from revealing he lied about her son and the crash was her fault.
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.
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.
The son did actually die from the car crash, he lied so she wouldn’t kill herself. He showed care, still selfishly so she would finish the series, but nevertheless, he looked into what really happened and took the weight off of her, cured her you could say.
It's not new, him just being so straightforward about his caring is a little rare. He cares about the vast majority of patients, and if they're actually honest with him and ask for help he's often very willing - especially if it's a face-to-face.
It's NOT new, he showed this before with previous patients. Also, he didn't find the ''real reason'', he lied to her to absolve her of (justified) guilt. Rewatch the episode AND the show.
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.
@@marknc7546 It's kind of hard to say, tbh; I have just rewatched the clip, and scrolled through the other comments, and I think what I was thinking at the time was that there was emphasis on the the individual elements of the show without giving credit to the gestalt (the fact that I dropped from using semi-colons to separate my points to commas indicates I was : a) thinking fast; and, b) a little drunky) and I was trying to get across that it was the blend of all the elements that made it great, not any one aspect. Thanks for asking, btw, I hope this clears it up for you.
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.
It’s interesting how writing can relate to the authors life, even when they’re not trying to. I published my book when I was 21-22 & in one scene, my main character slipped into a coma & wasn’t expected to survive her illness, but miraculously pulled through. The spooky thing about this? Days before Christmas 2013 (aged 25), I also became ill & was in a coma, then they said I wasn’t going to make it … but I did. My whole fam is weirded-out by the fact that I predicted my own near-death experience through my book years earlier. 🤷♀️📖😅 Note: My RUclips name is an alias, so you won’t know about my book that way. That info can be found on my IG account. 🙂
"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.
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
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.
I don’t have a son. Neither depression, seizures or suicidal tendencies. Never been to the hospital for an illness/disease that doctors have trouble diagnosing. Only thing i can relate to it is that me and other people enjoy watching it😂
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..
Well, the kid didn't have anything.. House lied to her. He just wanted the book to complete..

@@marknc7546 It's kind of hard to say, tbh; I have just rewatched the clip, and scrolled through the other comments, and I think what I was thinking at the time was that there was emphasis on the the individual elements of the show without giving credit to the gestalt (the fact that I dropped from using semi-colons to separate my points to commas indicates I was : a) thinking fast; and, b) a little drunky) and I was trying to get across that it was the blend of all the elements that made it great, not any one aspect.
Thanks for asking, btw, I hope this clears it up for you.
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.
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.
"What the hell?!?"
"Close, House."
That's the kind of reaction I want from people in pvp games
It’s interesting how writing can relate to the authors life, even when they’re not trying to. I published my book when I was 21-22 & in one scene, my main character slipped into a coma & wasn’t expected to survive her illness, but miraculously pulled through. The spooky thing about this? Days before Christmas 2013 (aged 25), I also became ill & was in a coma, then they said I wasn’t going to make it … but I did. My whole fam is weirded-out by the fact that I predicted my own near-death experience through my book years earlier. 🤷♀️📖😅
Note: My RUclips name is an alias, so you won’t know about my book that way. That info can be found on my IG account. 🙂
what's the name of your book? is it published?
"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?
Yes, he used a scan of some random person to make a fake story so she would allow treatment and so she could finish the book.
@@kamicat7847 Thanks! Glad they did it that way tbh. Not every tragedy has a (complete) happy end
I guessed that was the case, so I'm glad you asked about it. The response confirmed my suspicion.
That is such a House thing to do. But I suppose if it put her at ease it might be a good thing, even if a lie.
@@kidnamedfinger2502 True. House does some amazing things, but usually only for his own selfish motives rather than to help others.
2:14
House knock on the glass and wake Taub….
Taub: Hell !!!
Foreman: Close… House ! 😂😂😂
"It can't be Lupus!"
Dude, this is house of course you would suspect Lupus.
I will always find House being a fan of books targeted at young teen girls absolutely amazing
He is a fanatic of telenoveles, said enough. 😳😁
And iCarly😂
And his soap operas
House is a fan of mysteries. This book series is a mystery. Hence, it should be no surprise House loves the patient’s books.
He's a fan of monster trucks too. I think it's cool he wasn't all about classical music and chess and stereotypical genius stuff.
It's never lupus.
Except the one time it was. Which wasn't this.
This was another FANTASTIC House episode. House often had great guest stars like Amy Irving!
Her: try and stop me
House: ok this woman is on a 72 hr psychiatric evaluation hold
She walked right into that one
Ooh, I remember this. The character of the book is based on her son who died.
"Try and stop me"
Very poor choice of words.
Anyone else get a kick out of them saying it’s Lupus or Cancer? And then House says no to both.
"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.
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
Not even a full minute in and we're starting STRONG
3:18 That "brotha" was Hugh Brittish accent coming out
Author: Try and Stop Me
House: Bet.
“What the hell. Close house” one of the best lines in the show
Psychiatric Hold - Now that's Power of House. You don't mess with the guy 😹
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
1:35 LOL! "What makes you say that that?"
No child should die before their parents. Life is so cruel. I cried with her even though it's just fictional.
Mission failed Succesfully
"Don't bother to get up..." 😂😂
I can finally proudly say that i have something in common with Dr. House, even if that only common thing is to read books for teenage girls.
"What the hell?"
"Close; House."
🤣 🤣 🤣
"We've got a new symptom, hallucinations!"
I just love the “try and stop me.”
House: okay 🤷♂️
The best Healthcare on the planet is making something House is a fan of
Even new drivers need to learn how to drive in the rain. Not her fault.
Excellent episode
I loved the "okay" House gives the patient right after she says "try and stop me", he was waiting for the moment LMAOO
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.
I’ve watched this whole show 3 times and I do not remember this at all
The music piece in this one is crazy good
"try to stop me"
ok
"The hell?" "Close, It's house." 🤣🤣🤣
House in glasses is such a delight 🤤😍
This show is the best. Everyone can relate in one way or another
I don’t have a son. Neither depression, seizures or suicidal tendencies. Never been to the hospital for an illness/disease that doctors have trouble diagnosing. Only thing i can relate to it is that me and other people enjoy watching it😂
"THE HELL?!"
"Close, House."
😆
I think the ending of this, is the most beautifully written piece.
How human body reacts to pain & stress, releasing in body enzymes, which makes you vulnerable....it's....unbelievable and mystery.
