House Creator Didn’t Need to Debunk This Popular Series Ending Theory — It Never Made Sense in the First Place

Home Creator David Shore recently debunked the popular theory that Wilson was hallucinating House in the final minutes of “Everybody Dies,” but that theory never made sense and didn’t need to be debunked. HomeThe first episode of is turning 20 years old, but some fan theories and debates about the show seem as relevant today as they were two decades ago. Home has a complicated legacywith some seasons being much better than others. One of the most controversial aspects of the show was its ending, with HomeThe series’ ending is still a topic of debate 12 years later.

In the middle of the way HomeLast season, we found out that Wilson is dying of cancer and only has a few months left to go. In “Everybody Dies,” House faces a life or death situation, during which he sees visions of important people in his life before getting up and escaping the fire. House would then fake his death, making everyone believe he died in the fire – there was even a funeral. However, a popular theory argued that House died in the series finale, but that Wilson was hallucinating his friend in the final minutes of the episode.

Wilson Hallucinating House never made sense and misses the point of the ending

“Everybody Dies” was about choosing a house to live in

When discussing the merits of this theory with electronic warfare, David Shore has said that while there is nothing in the ending that necessarily contradicts it, having Wilson hallucinate House was never his intention with “Everybody Dies.” Shore noted how once a TV show comes out, everyone can have their interpretation of what’s happening on screen. That said, it’s clear that House actually dying and appearing as a hallucination to Wilson was never in the plans – in fact, this theory completely misses the point. Home end.

But that was an interpretation I didn’t have in mind, but it’s not inconsistent with anything. We wanted that kind of happy ending. The show has never been about simple happy endings, but rather about finding moments here and there. I used two songs at the end and they both had opposing messages as he left, and I think that says a lot about what we were trying to do with the show.

The scene where House encounters ghosts from his past as he ponders whether he wants to continue living was the culmination of eight seasons in which House would rarely confront his fears. Between the fallout of his relationship with Cuddy and Wilson only having six months to live, it seemed like there was no home to continue. And yet, during the fire, House concluded that life was worth living, perhaps even after Wilson’s death. Ignoring this in favor of a mind-bending theory about Wilson hallucinating House just doesn’t work.

House choosing to live and be with Wilson was the show’s version of a happy ending

House would never have a traditional happy ending

It was always hard to imagine Home have a happy ending – whatever that meant for a series where the main character spent eight years suffering and losing people around him. The strongest relationship, perhaps the only stable one, in Home it was that of Gregory House and James Wilson, although they also had their problems. That’s why it made sense to Homefinal season to focus so much on Wilsonalbeit for a tragic reason. House was never going to have a fairytale ending, and that became clear when Wilson revealed his cancer diagnosis.

However, this does not mean that Home it would have to have a dark and devastating ending. In truth, House choosing to live and fake his death so he could spend the next five or six months with Wilson was as close to a happy ending as this show could get. House was willing to give up everything — including his career — to be with Wilson during his friends’ final months, which was the most selfless and caring thing he’s ever done on the show. None of this would matter if Wilson was just hallucinating.

House’s series finale was never meant to have a “gotcha” moment

House was known for surprising twists, but the ending didn’t need it

Home was a smart show and often had some shocking twists. This includes, for example, House finally realizing that the mystery woman from the bus crash was actually Amber – a revelation that resulted in one of the best scenes in the series, if not the best. HomeThe “gotcha” moments and plot twists date back to the first season with the fan-favorite episode, “Three Stories,” at the end of which we discover that the case study was House himself. So it’s no surprise that many entered HomeThe series finale is waiting for some kind of twist.

Perhaps the real twist in “Everybody Dies” was House making it out alive and taking one last trip with Wilson. It’s sad to think that House had to watch Wilson die, but at least the ending itself ends on a somewhat positive note. What happens to House after Wilson dies is impossible to say, although the events of the finale Home suggest that Hugh Laurie’s character was ready to move on even after losing his only friend.
