Man, I wish the therapist would have stayed on the show. He was one of the very few people who could match House's wit and he was genuinely trying to help him.
One of the few times a character deconstructed House's personality and basically forced him to see the crude truth of how people perceive House and why he should care about how he wants to be perceived. Because if he continues in this path, he won't have anyone left to care for him.
The way they structured this entire episode was just genius. Absolutely brilliant. The visiting of the memories, the conversations, god I'm so sad this show finished.
All good things must come to an end and it was House’s time to end. Season 8 there was a noticeable decline in quality of the show (apart from the finale). Hugh Laurie himself was sick of the show and glad to be done of it by the end. Kudos to him for not letting that affect his performance and giving it everything he had right until the end.
Season 8 was some of the best of Hughs performance. It was the rest that was rhw problem. Trust me rewatch season 8 house himself is just as funny more sarcastic I don't think they nailed the series and other characters very well. Hugh was a joy to watch as ever.
Seeing House vulnerable like that is heart breaking. When Nolan asked about the bruise, he kinda looked a bit like an abused kid, talking about how normal it was that he gets hit and the way his shoulders slumped just killed me. He looked small. He really doesn't see much hope in his life, he just goes through the motions. Perhaps his job used to be exciting.
Nolan more than any other character in the show not named Wilson or Cuddy got House as close as he'd ever come to being honest with himself about the way he feels. Quietly one of the best House foils written into the show during the later years when the writer's room may have sometimes been struggling to keep things interesting.
This has to be one of the best episodes in the entire show. There are many scenes that evidence House’s complete desolation and complete dependence on Wilson’s friendship. However, this scene achieves it so very sensitively. There is a childlike yet fervorous quality about how House defends Wilson: how he pauses and then says “He’s my friend.” The weight behind his words is real, and there is nothing anyone can say (even Wilson himself at numerous points in the series, including the finale) that will as much rattle that one truth about his own existence. This is perhaps one of the best things about this show (if not the best).
I love how immediately angry he gets when he says "Wilson is not a consolation prize" after pausing to answer why he and Wilson are friends. It makes it so clear that what he was considering wasn't why he was friends with Wilson, but rather why Wilson was friends with him.
Most disappointing part of this episode was how Braughner lets House walk out after House gets upset that he doesn't want to admit that he is losing his chance at being with Cuddy. Completely uncharacteristic of his character. All in all, great episode though!
The shake in House's breath when he says "Ok, there may be a problem" hits real hard given his usual attitude, even when things are serious. He's got to really try and keep it together here
The way this episode was shot reminds me a stage play. They often use the same methods, having characters all on stage, in different lighting under a mostly dark setting, to make it look like there's two scenes on stage at once. I really loved episodes like this, they were such a mental journey, really intelligent and emotional stories and interactions between characters with depth, not just cardboard cutouts of stereotypes.
Literally came to the comments to say this. It's so very true, this could be staged with very little difficulty. It's not even just the staging, thematically it suits the medium so well.
I'm so glad I could actually find a comment like this, I really enjoy the fact that they took a different way to give us a trully good scene, and it show how good the entire cast really is, It would be extremelly exciting to have at least a small chance to see any of them acting in a play
This scene inspired me to write scenes like this where it’s told in flashback with the present day characters observing and commenting, even directing the story to show different interpretations of the same conversation. Does it have a name?

Usually by the 5th season of most shows, they're just repeating the same forumlas that got that to 5 seasons. Season 6 of House it like a whole new show and exploring new depths of House's character and his relationships.
MassiveTree Usually when shows go to season five or six, one of two things happen, they either reinvent their show to keep from repetition (Cheers, Frasier, House, and Married With Children) or they start to repeat the same plots they did in earlier seasons, but with slight twists in the hopes that the audience doesn’t catch on (Three’s Company, Laverne & Shirley, Dynasty, and Dallas).
Agreed. When the cases started to get stale, they dug into House as a character. It's exactly how a long-running show SHOULD be handled - don't try to stick to the same formula when it's no longer working. Find a new aspect of the show to write about.
@@LordofFullmetal "ok, we've established the medical arc and it's coming to a close, what's next?" "Character development arc!" ~how I imagine the directive conversation went
True. I realised that the only patients I remembered were the ones from the earlier seasons. The episodes were about a patient, their illness was linked to their lives, and what happened at the hospital impacted House or the team in some way. But as we got further into the show, the patients became a routine thing, the roles switched.
8:37-8:42, what the therapist said there was so true. House's friendship with Wilson is the healthiest relationship House has ever had throughout the show.
This is the first time I've seen Andre play a character other than Holt. It's so amazing how the comically stoic Captain slips away and becomes this new person in a much darker and serious setting.
One thing I liked is how different House and Wilson are. It seems most dynamic dues are very similar and share the same beliefs but House and Wilson are polar opposites that check each other.
It's actually the stereotype for dynamic duos to be polar opposites; specifically because that works so well in fiction. It also works really well in real life a lot of the time - there's a reason people say "opposites attract". People tend to seek out relationships with those who have a trait that they're missing.
I love how when house describes Cuddy and Wilsons “worried” conversation, he imagines them in casual attire, as he sees them as his close friends When the scene shifts though, they’re in more business friendly attire, representing how house has personal connection to both cuddy and Wilson, while the other dude sees them as business colleagues.
"I can say whatever I want to him, and he won't leave." That's the whole problem in House and Wilson's relationship. House is too selfish to impose any restrictions on what he says or does, and too stubborn to seriously consider why he should be doing that. Meanwhile, Wilson lacks the self-respect to act on the frustration he feels as a result, so the relationship never ends.
I don't know. I think Wilson needs House in his own way. He's been in some relationships that went to shit. With House he knows what he is in for. For all the good and bad, Wilson always knows what to expect from House. Their relationship might be the most honnest one he ever knew. And there's also the savior thing where Wilson always try to stear House on a righteous path. And from House perspective, he always pushes everyone around to know their worth, to know who can push back and give him his fix intellectually. But unbeknownst to House, Wilson pushes back in a way that House may underestimate, but really need; an emotional way. Wilson is always there for House, and therefore closest thing to familly the House has.
I feel like Wilson is just a normal guy who wants excitement in his life. House provides that. He's one of those friends who you want to kill but simultaneously he's someone you can have a lot of fun with because of his batshit insane hijinks.
Both need each other. Wilson is someone who's willing to take an uppercut if his friends really need it. House is someone who's willing to give you an uppercut if you really need it, but both of them wouldn't do what the other one does, except for each other. If house needed to be punched, wilson would do it if it was necessary, and house would take any hits from wilson for him to feel better. It's because they know what the other person need and they need, but no other person can spark that feeling on either of them. With house, Wilson learned to think a bit more on himself, to take pride on him and what he wants, likes and does, and with wilson, house learned how and when to shut up and lie in order to keep or obtain peace, he learned to put the someone's necessities above his, that doesn't come to play that often when they talk or interact with other people, but that's something very common when those two interact
"- He'll ask me to move in back after the divorce. I take the long view. - Have you told Wilson that? - Are you kidding? That's the sort of thing that makes people want to hit you." House does censor himself around Wilson.
I would say it like this: With Wilson, House gets someone that puts up with all of his dissimulation, narcissism, myopia, manipulation, cynicism, abrasiveness, and snark. With House, Wilson gets someone who will never put up a pretense just to make you feel good, never just go along with something because it's the path of least resistance. Wilson gets brutal honesty with House (and sees through House's many manipulative schemes). Wilson's many failed marriages/relationships highlight (House is pretty much his only real close friend) how Wilson is bad at relationships. He falls for the illusions that most people put forth out of sheer politeness. When the REAL person begins to peak through, Wilson becomes disillusioned. Wilson's relationship with Sam is perfect example.
House's voice when he said there might be a problem made me shiver. In the whole time that I've watched this show, I will never forget the way that line and the tone he spoke it in made me feel.
This is a great look at what GOOD Psychologists are actually supposed to do - Make the person aware of the reasoning behind their actions so they can better understand & deal with the problem.
What this psychologist does to House is wildly inappropriate. If he didn't feel ready to talk about a certain thing, that's his right, and it certainly doesn't give the therapist an excuse to pressure him by going and reading a magazine. The client should never feel like they have to manage their therapist's emotions or please them. It made good TV, sure, but in real life this would be an egregious ethical violation.
@@gymnasticsgirlie0647 You are completely right and I have no I idea why people keep romanticizing this. Sure, great TV, whatever, but in no way is this logical for a psychiatric diagnostic point-of-view.
It’s like they’re ghosts watching the flashbacks, making comment and offering multiple valid interpretations of the same facts….. I so wanna write like this……any other movies or shows that do this style apart from one episode of house and that gene Hackman Morgan freeman movie.
This adds on to blxxdlxv's entry below... I love how Taub appears, then retreats at Nolan's "wait a minute," and back and forth. This was such a surreal episode, terrifically written!!
"Your version needed to be ended cuz' it's crap. It's all sweetness and light and faith that i'm gonna choose the right path. Yea, that sounds like Wilson." -House
This is one of the best episodes in the show. One of my favorites. The dialogue, the back and forth between his therapist and him, the manner in which the scenes were structured, House's guilt. Incredibly well made. Definitely sad that this show has ended.
John S. Bodle Andre is a phenomenal actor. What I like about him is that he doesn’t have to say much to get you to listen to him. Every word carries meaning and weight. That is quite a powerful tool.
"That's usually the way it is...when someone hits me" that hurt me to hear him say. It almost sounded like a complete accompaniment of his entire life, that he's prone to being hit because of his mouth 😞
Yeah, as horrible is it is, if someone hits House, it is usually because he wanted them to hit him, whether for leverage, catharsis, to discredit themselves in front of others, or to punish himself, it is because he chose to have that happen. This is also abuse survivor behaviour - if you provoke the violence, it is expected violence rather than unexpected violence. The difference between seeing it coming VS getting caught unaware is huge, so if you see violence as inevitable either way, better to provoke it.
i love how they do flashbacks in this show, having the characters in the present creating and watching the same scene as the audience in this strange flashback pocket dimension where we can get fun scenes like the part with Taub around 6:25
I always loved this whole sequence with House and Nolan. Such a good representation of 2 different people looking at the same set of circumstances. A+ show writing.
This episode was about everyone else finding someone to love, (Sam and Wilson, Cuddy and Lucas) except House, and he's pissed off about it but hiding his pain in a rather self destructive way.
Absolutely! Only now I'm starting to show a deep respect for these men and women who stay on the background and let the actors shine though their well-chosen words. Few writers in the industry are household names and that's really a shame.
I love the different ways of showing how House re-tells the conversations. they have the typical scene playing as flashback while also snapping back to real-time like at 5:11
4:10 does this style of flashback storytelling have a name? Where the present day characters can oversee the flashback, ask questions, propose different interpretations. It’s very impressionistic. But does it have a name. Like guided interactive flashbacks….where they can direct the characters to make their respective points…. The same style we saw in three stories.
I think for me the biggest thing about Taub walking in wasn't the fact he walked in twice, it's the fact he said "we're having a consent issue with the patient." House did not want to see or hear this, hes this patient.
Now imagine if House was a hotshot senior detective recently assigned to Captain Holt’s precinct. Able to crack criminal cases as easily as diagnosing deadly diseases.
Is House's imagination cuddy is accurately handling file and having conversation while in Holt's imagination she looking at her nail like a person would imagine a women doing while having ideal conversation, brilliant direction and writing.

Of the best episodes of the series.
The way they portray the dynamic between House and the therapist is incredible.
R.I.P Andre Braugher
Captain Holt displayed more emotion in the first 30 seconds than all of Brooklyn 99, I'm very off put.
jordan haas yes jake would be sad at his dad
I like your pfp dude
The actor playing the psychiatrist absolutely nailed it. This was so good!
John S. Bodle Andre is a phenomenal actor. What I like about him is that he doesn’t have to say much to get you to listen to him. Every word carries meaning and weight. That is quite a powerful tool.
Problem is after seeing Nolan, al real psychiatrists would be a let down.
I dont know why but that felt like the longest 9 minutes of my life. It felt like 30 minutes or more.
I was just thinking that, feels so cram packed with dialogue
The camera shots and acting was brilliant in this!!!
House was so intimidated by the therapist, he wasn't even his repulsive self.
Ammar Harith exactly
I don't think it was intimidation, it was genuine respect for someone at the top of THEIR field.
@@DerekHartley this guy is right imo.
Almost kindred spirits.
"That's usually the way it is...when someone hits me" that hurt me to hear him say. It almost sounded like a complete accompaniment of his entire life, that he's prone to being hit because of his mouth 😞
He’s self destructive when faced with shame. Self punishment.
Yeah, as horrible is it is, if someone hits House, it is usually because he wanted them to hit him, whether for leverage, catharsis, to discredit themselves in front of others, or to punish himself, it is because he chose to have that happen. This is also abuse survivor behaviour - if you provoke the violence, it is expected violence rather than unexpected violence. The difference between seeing it coming VS getting caught unaware is huge, so if you see violence as inevitable either way, better to provoke it.
I wouldnt be surprised if Jake Peralta would show up out of nowhere XD
"Peralta, what are you doing?"
Well Santiago’s brother did...
When he admits there might be a problem at 2:32.. it's un-nerving to hear house that vulnerable and meek.
i love how they do flashbacks in this show, having the characters in the present creating and watching the same scene as the audience in this strange flashback pocket dimension where we can get fun scenes like the part with Taub around 6:25
I always loved this whole sequence with House and Nolan. Such a good representation of 2 different people looking at the same set of circumstances. A+ show writing.
4:29 I like the blocking. Reminds me of a play.
This episode was about everyone else finding someone to love, (Sam and Wilson, Cuddy and Lucas) except House, and he's pissed off about it but hiding his pain in a rather self destructive way.
Noland was one of the best additions to the show. The only non-antagonist who could spar with house as an equal.
I think i enjoyed the conversations he had with this therapist more than any other part of the show
one of the most underrated actors on the series he was the only that pushed hugh laurie acting skills to the limit and was as high caliber as his
"Where's House? It's not as meaningful without him!" [[Pushes Wilson off her]]
It's the episodes like these I fall in love with the writers more than the performers. ♥️
Agree, brilliant writing and directing
Absolutely! Only now I'm starting to show a deep respect for these men and women who stay on the background and let the actors shine though their well-chosen words. Few writers in the industry are household names and that's really a shame.
Udhay Kumar, I hear ya.
That is how you do comedy relief... it's quick it's to the point it gets your mind off of the tension for a second and then it's back on... I love it
The Taub part was hilarious ahah
Captain Holt and Dr House in the same frame is a delight to watch!
I could honestly watch a whole season of just House's therapy sessions lol
I love the different ways of showing how House re-tells the conversations. they have the typical scene playing as flashback while also snapping back to real-time like at 5:11
House inserted Taub into somebody else's imaginary vision, amazing.
I remember when this episode aired. Seeing House get that upset over Wilson was a surprise.
"Wait a minute, Taub's not here."
"Yes, he is."
Dr. Nolan was a pretty decent depiction of a good therapist.
I really liked the way they did the scene construction here
His therapist losing his patience is amazing.
4:10 does this style of flashback storytelling have a name?
Where the present day characters can oversee the flashback, ask questions, propose different interpretations.
It’s very impressionistic. But does it have a name. Like guided interactive flashbacks….where they can direct the characters to make their respective points….
The same style we saw in three stories.
The Best episode of the show for me. House in therapy is the most interesting thing I witnessed in the 6th season.
I keep coming back to this. I absolutely love how they made memories physicalized. I would totally watch a whole show structured like this.
I think for me the biggest thing about Taub walking in wasn't the fact he walked in twice, it's the fact he said "we're having a consent issue with the patient." House did not want to see or hear this, hes this patient.
I love stage performance styled scenes. Really helps with suspension of disbelief.
I have never seen Andre Braugher not have great chemistry with his fellow actors.
The touch of when the therapist was playing out a scene it's a little gilted and they don't act right because he doesn't know them like house does
Wow, I wish I had a therapist like Dr. Nolan.
Of course he'd read _The Wooden Boat._
_Captain Holt never changes._
The cinematography in this is amazing
Now imagine if House was a hotshot senior detective recently assigned to Captain Holt’s precinct. Able to crack criminal cases as easily as diagnosing deadly diseases.
Such a well written show, quality actors, and directing
You could search the field over and never find a therapist that comes close to the quality this guy presents.
Is House's imagination cuddy is accurately handling file and having conversation while in Holt's imagination she looking at her nail like a person would imagine a women doing while having ideal conversation, brilliant direction and writing.
I love when writers do these kinds of episodes where its all like one shot in the same room but 2 different times happening at once
0:32 ofc Captain Holt is reading "Wooden Boat"
Andre Braugher reading a magazine about "Wooden Boats" is the most Holt thing in this scene.
thanks captain dad. i mean dad holt. nailed it.
The camera work here is phenomenal
FFS. Another clip without resolution. Call this the House Torture Tease Channel!

Andre is such an amazing actor 👏
"So it's not what you did, but how you did it?"
"That matters in a friendship."
I love Wilson.
