During the course of the episode, however, symptoms and clinical pictures emerge that the patient should not actually have according to the patient's file. The case is resolved by House by discovering that the actual patient is not Megan, but her colleague Liz and thus the mixed up medical files were the problem of the treatment.

A guest in a restaurant stands out for his outrageous behavior. He has "no more control over his left hand," as he knows himself. (Medically, it is the alien hand syndrome in split brain , see below.) Gregory House can be satisfied. Since his boss Lisa Cuddy saved him and stayed with him overnight, Amber's threatening hallucinations are over. His pain is gone even without Vicodin. But it's too good to be true. Because the experiences that House likes to remember are not real. In addition, a patient from the outpatient area appears, an elderly gentleman who sometimes suffers from a croaking voice and who follows House into his office; House thinks heartburn is the cause. The end is near when House does the same thing as the young patient - he offends the most important woman of his life - only that the patient doesn't do it willingly. House, on the other hand, loudly announces in the large lobby of the PPTH that he has slept with Cuddy, his boss. Then there is the fact that House has to realize that he had mistakenly assigned a suspected cancer to the wrong patient. Ashton Holmes plays the young man with the uncontrollable hand, Carl Reiner the older man, and the music plays while Cameron and Chase get married. The final sequence shows the happy wedding celebration of the two doctors and - in parallel montage - House on the long, gloomy path to a distant place: Wilson drives him to the gate of the psychiatric clinic “Mayfield”. Main diagnosis: Arrhythmia induced by propylene glycol with increased alien hand syndrome Secondary diagnosis: Clear suspicion of pancreatic cancer (in the elderly man)

In the framework story, House lies on the upper floor of a burning house next to a corpse and hallucinates conversations with dead companions (Kutner, Volakis). In flashbacks, House treats a drug addict, forcing him to rethink his own life. The corpse next to him is that patient. Flashbacks show House trying to get his prison sentence extended through Foreman and Wilson, unsuccessfully. Since this would mean that he would not be allowed to see the last few months that Wilson still had to live, he decided to commit suicide. The hallucinated conversations eventually lead House to reconsider his decision. He gets up and wants to get out of the house. Through various clues, Foreman and Wilson find out where House is, reach the burning house and see an outline approaching the door when an explosion shatters the house. Based on the dental file, the body found in the house is identified as House. During the memorial service everyone in attendance finds good words about House, except for Wilson, who calls him a "monster" and a "bitter sadist". During this tirade, Wilson receives a message on his cell phone: “ Shut up, you idiot ” (German: “ Shut up , idiot”). Wilson actually runs into House, who escaped through the back door and thus survived the fire. He swapped the dental files to be officially dead and to be able to spend the remaining months with Wilson. Wilson reproaches House about the fact that he will never be able to work as a doctor again and that he will never be able to resume his life, but is visibly pleased. In the final scene, Wilson and House are out and about on motorcycles. Main diagnosis: autoimmune disease due to inhalation of a piece of plant material
