House MD - Finale theory
I know there are quite a few of these out there right now, so I’m just throwing my theory into the pot.
I’ve watched every possible interview with David Shore, HL and RSL over the past few months, including HL’s NPR interview; attempting (like all of us fans do) to read between the lines and analyze every word.
Based on that, this is my theory: I think, given the news of his impending jail time, and Wilson’s few months to live, House is going to do something typically crazy and self destructive (what exactly, I don’t know). But he’s going to end up in an accident, as we can see from the promo shots for the ep, that severely injures his already injured leg and has to wait to be rescued. While down in this ‘pit’, he nearly dies, he hallucinates, he sees Amber and Kutner. He knows he faces a pivotal choice to either die, or embrace happiness. At some point both Cameron (and I have no idea why she’s suddenly there-a possible hallucination?) Wilson, and Foreman (as we see from the promo shots) get there to help him.
In the end, House makes the decision he should have made all those years ago after the infarction, the decision that changed the course of his entire life, this time he decides (like the woman in ‘Help Me’) to have his leg amputated and to free himself from the physical pain that has cost him so much.
I think we are left knowing that Wilson will soon pass on, but we don’t see him die of cancer. The amputation of his leg keeps House out of prison long enough to be around for Wilson’s last few months. Although, I have no idea why Master’s is there.
So yeah, that’s my theory. When tomorrow night comes around and it’s totally wrong, I’m sure I’ll eat every word of it. :)
