Yeah I wouldn't recommend going into the finale not having watched the last 10+ episodes. They introduced a few major character-driven stories. The cases aren't serialized as you probably know, but you would be lost on the character side.

Of course it doesn't hurt that I have zero interest in what happens to characters not named Chase, House or Wilson.

So you really don't want to watch those huh? You just want to cheat and skip to the last episode? C'mon man, this is the final season, don't cheat yourself out of the journey because your feeling lazy.

Well that episode was a gut punch.
Poor House. He might yet again pull a rabbit out of his hat, but at least he has apparent consequences. I'm an unabashed fan of the show, but one of the things I disliked it in the beginning was the horrible things he did had no real consequenses (for House). It's still something that makes me uneasy with the show, so I'm always glad when he does have consequences.
13's return was almost pointless.
"Fight" to stay alive and spend your remaining time with minimal quality of life or just enjoy the time you have left? I'd say that one has no right answer and I have no idea what I'd choose.

I'm not sure if Olivia Wilde has made a movie yet that I've liked and only one that I've seen, despite the film stardom that led to her departure, but when she was playing 13, I thought she was a very attractive woman, just not my type of hot and I think I didn't like her because I liked Cameron so much.
But she looked ungodly hot in this episode, even though I agree it was a weak way to bring her back. She looked Angela Jolie in her prime, perfection hot. Not saying they look alike, just comparing how they both had/have an almost unreal, flawless look about them.

That scene at the restaurant was intense and sad.

Really don't know where they're going with the House/jail thing, but it's a great (and believeable) twist. The writing & acting on this show has been top notch lately, and it's going to be sorely missed.

The best outcome would be for he and Wilson to go on the lam. They steal enough chemo so he can self medicate as they roam the world and dodge the cops. Be together as friends until the end and then after Wilson dies House returns and goes to prison. Hey, that could be a new series. Kind of like the Amazing Race in that they could be in different places each week. Then when they run low on chemo drugs or vicodin they drop by and Taub slips them some out the back door. The show could revolve around their yin/yang existence and opposite belief systems and how one succumbs to the other in the end. I like it.

I'm wondering if they foreshadowed a Thelma and Louise ending for House and Wilson next week with Wilson's losing control of his sport car last week.
As far as blonde Olivia Wilde goes, anyone remember how hot she was on "The O.C."? That was pretty close to her debut in TV/films.
Also, Olivia looked insanely hot as a brunette in "The Change-Up".
