Complete story — includes the ending
After failing to get out of his upcoming jail time, House disappears and his team, along with Wilson and Thirteen ( Olivia Wilde ), are unable to locate him. He awakens in a burning building after shooting heroin with his former patient ( James LeGros ). With his life crumbling around him, House hallucinates people from his past ( Braugher, Dudek, Morrison, Penn, Tamblyn, Ward ) as he decides whether his life is worth living anymore. Believing House dead, members of the staff and family pay funeral tributes to him, including Wilson, who denounces his selfishness until getting an odd text message—luring him to meet a very alive House, who faked his death to remake his life. Back at PPTH, Foreman settles into Cuddy's old job, and Chase succeeds House as director of diagnostic medicine, with Adams and Park as his new team. Meanwhile, Taub dines with Rachel, Ruby, and his daughters, and a re-married Cameron has become a mother and chief of a Chicago emergency room. Mounting motorcycles together, House offers to help make Wilson's last months of life liveable. Final diagnosis: Autoimmune response to an inhaled piece of plant matter
