House Gets His License Back (And His Empathy) | House M.D. 

Seeing Alvie’s look at his best friend leaving and that moment of realization that “maybe taking meds like my friend will help me too” is in the top 3 moments for me of the entire series.

Hugh and Andre's chemistry was something special, whenever they interacted I was glued to the screen. 2 incredible actor's bouncing off each other perfectly.

RIP Andre Braugher...his scenes with Laurie were always a highlight throughout this season.

seeing alvie wanting to start getting better after seeing house turn himself around and seeing it isn't impossible just has to make you smile. lin-manuel miranda is an amazing actor

Whats even more inspiring is Alvie managed to get better, and go on to write the worldwide musical sensation Hamilton.

If this was the last scene in the series, I wouldn’t be opposed to it. In this scene, House is off Vicodin, but more importantly he has learned to connect with people and be vulnerable with them. Just like Nolan said, House reached out for help when he was hurting instead of resorting to Vicodin. That’s a complete transformation for House! Also, Chase and Cameron are newly married, Cuddy has the baby she always wanted, 13 and Foreman are still a couple, Taub and his wife have reconciled their differences, and Wilson isn’t dying of cancer. In the Season 8 finale, Cameron and Cuddy are gone, 13 was pushed to the way-side, Taub has two daughters and a complex relationship with each mother of that child, and Wilson has a death sentence of cancer. We were also introduced to two characters who just came in and left for one season. Moreover, House’s main problem with addiction and emotional baggage are not completely resolved. I don’t think the show goes to hell after this, but if you wanted a complete and happy ending, this is where you should stop watching the series.

Rest in peace, Andre Braugher (1962-2023). Thank you for all your incredible performances throughout the years.

Some of Houses happiest moments were in that psychiatric hospital.

Alvie is one of my all time favourite characters, he was so sweet and inspirational and felt so genuine. The way he bonded with house always felt so real and I miss watching them 🥺

man, watching alvie ask for his meds to get better and then seeing that doctor smile just gets me everytime. you can see that the doctor knows that he has made up his mind to become healthier and go back to the world. and i absolutely love it!

Hugh Laurie has always been an amazing actor. It's sad that the show ended but the ending is flawless nonetheless. Every show has its own drama, suspense, and humor. Hope for the future of all actors and love to see their future work

I felt that they backpedaled House's character quite a bit after this. He seemed more empathetic during the first 2 seasons in particular and we never got to see him there for Wilson as he was dying. His reaction to it would've been the ultimate climax: sadness, tears, emotions we've never seen from him

Best episode ever, so heartwarming, which is unlike a typical house episode. I really felt a new house shine through as he was leaving the institution! ❤

RIP Andre Braughter, such an underrated role of his was in this show

It's amazing to see that House is genuinely happy in this episode.

House's psych arc really resembled One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

This should be final episode of House, perfect ending.

If anybody here is thinking that a stay in the mental hospital would benefit them, do not hesitate. It is the best thing that could ever have happened to me. If I hadn't been admitted against my own will, I would 100% have ended it all. Never give up on yourself, because there is most definitely somebody who will mourn your life.

Alvie saying “I wanna get better” brought a tear to my eye...so effing sweet

The season premiere 2 episode special from season 6 is without a doubt my favorite in the series. It was different but done very well!

House is such a great actor and so handsome

RIP Andre. Loved this role.

One of the greatest shows that was ever created. My only wish is that it could have went on a little longer, but all good things come to an end i guess.

Yooo freedom master is there 3:20 Seeing alvie take inspiration from house and decides to take his puts a tear in my eye I

If you don't tear up with this clip, you should rewatch house again :,)

I know it’s just a show but there is so much beauty in this world never forget that

So cool you could upload it with The Frames' "Seven day mile" song without chopping it like you did with the wedding scene because it makes the end of the episode perfect.

“Back off, people already think we’re gay.” *Hugs him anyways* 😂

Imagine you're the last person on the bus and your stop comes right after the mental hospital 😆

Its such an undervalued thing, but that simple moment when you find your footing and stop free-falling is so important, so powerful. I want to get better. I STILL want to get better.

lol the manic laughing in the background when we face planted into the cake

I love this two parter episode. In my opinion, "Broken" is one of the best episodes of the entire series. It differs in its different environment thus allowing the viewers the opportunity to see House in a different perspective. The writers take complete advantage of these new unique scenarios to masterfully develop the story and the characters.

I find it great that not just the Doctor, in the medical area is looking at Alvie. Not all of them, but still.

4:45 i don’t know why but this part was deep for me. You can tell house had a real impact on him!

RIP Andre Braugher 😞

This was the best season of House imo

I really enjoyed this episode. It’s one of my favorites.

3:45 It's Pilant! Hiding in a Psych Ward as he formulated his plot against Bones was really a great idea!💯👌😂🤣

He hyjacks the bus and drives it into cuddys house 🤣

"Back off. People already think we're gay." 🤣

I would’ve been pissed not to get cake

it was such an excellent episode, the thing between him and Lola* (I mean episode in the sense of dramatic episode not literal serial TV episode). *Lola from Run Lola Run.

Simply the best

RIP Andre Braugher.

I love Franka Potente! Had no idea she was in House!

Amazing actor☆ Can play any part given to him.

After this experience I really thought it could be possible for House. 😔

You can only pull yourself out by the bootstraps if you ever had boot straps in the first place.

Love this scene

That music... that vulnerability... breaks my heart

RIP Andre Braugher🙏

3:43 when Stacy posts House M.D. and all is going smoothly 🙏

"Time to practice medicine"

Aw Amy finally won, her brothers in rehab. And Captain Holt helping him is so nice. (B99 anyone??)

It still surprises me to hear Glen Hansard singing in an episode of House. A pleasant surprise though.

RIP Andre Braugher

My goat Andre

I legit teared up when Alvie asked for his meds and said he wants to get better 😭

Man , never knew they did a Hamilton crossover with House M.d

That hurts man.

I had a hard time quitting vaping. The scene where Alvie turns and accepts his meds to “get better” drove me to quit in no time. Thank you House ❤

Rip Andre 😢

I can't focus on Andre knowing Brooklyn 99 exists lol

Run Lola run!

2:52 am I crazy or does it look like house wanted to cry here for a sec but held it back?

Daily reminder thar House MD is THE BEST SHOW EVER MADE

inspiring

im surprised hes never played doctor who.

I felt terribly for Dr. Nolan, bet he was incredibly disappointed when he heard about House's attempted manslaughter in Season 7's finale.

3:40 I've read comments this was improvised. the reactions were real.

I'd be so mad, I would of wanted some of that cake

What's the song in the background? Is that Glen Hansard?

I hope we see Alvie again

The best series finale that never was.

This season is something special. I miss smart TV shows.

they give him this great arc then shaft him

Is that Lin-Manuel Miranda singing, right?

She chose her family. He chose humility. Right moves all around.

3:47 Booger from 'Revenge of the Nerds'

I love House , number one character on tv in the last twenty years I say , Dexter is in my top 3,

lin manuel miranda jumpscare

as a very depressed person, this fucking part always messes me up.

captain holt, didn't know you worked in the medical field

This was kinda a high point for House in a way I think. He legitimately took steps to get better and was better...then he made the biggest mistake of getting involved with Cuddy and staying at Princeton-Plainsboro. He alwyas would have been better in research.

Me reading the title: And his what?

I need this season, but where

I have a request for a video… All I remember about it is the quote from House to his students that he’s recruiting/making compete for his team. “Heeeeere’s OSAMA!” Making them believe they’re treating Osama bin Ladin. Please give us that video because I can’t find it and have been looking a lot??? 😭

She is that German actress from the joyous 1990s shows

LIN MANUEL MIRANDA?!?!

Is it me or is the face splash on the cake unscripted and these are genuine laughs?

The Moment Greg Became Houseinberg 🥶

Such a blatantly disrespectful waste of cake, I'm angry

Has anyone else noticed that when House is leaving the hospital, he is wearing the same t-shirt that Alvie was wearing during their first group therapy session!

Did she enter Witness Protection to finally escape all of Jason Bourne's would-be assassins?

Everyone’s talking about how Alvie became a household name in musical theater but can we stop for a second and applaud Dr. Nolan for shifting careers to be a highly decorated police captain in the NYPD?

eeek that one guy looks like metatron

How can you get back what you never had?

It's Anne Frank from AHS

House be hittin on Jason Bourne's dead gf.

Metatron made him do it
