They've always done bizarre things -- like episode after episode of that cop out to get him and the drug/mental rehab over and over and over. I guess the creators/producers just get bored and try anything (probably short of alien abduction, but who knows). I watch the show in spite of the unrealistic bizarro junk, not because of it.

I, personally, thought the ending made total sense. Driven over the edge? Excuse me? That man couldn't find the edge with the Hubble telescope. We're way past the 'breaking point' at this stage with this character. We've been over these story lines a million times. He wants to get better, he cant get better because he loves his own misery. He's addicted to the cycle, and if nothing else, what addicts really need to get better is a change in scenery. He saw the cycle starting again, with Cuddy's new boy-toy and his inevitable jealousy, and he couldn't have that. He couldn't care about these people anymore and they couldn't care about him if he's going to break free. Finally, a change in the dynamic. How refreshing.
Not sure that I will go out of my way to watch House anymore. I loved House before this last season. I loved the strange medical cases. That was the main focus. Now it's become a giant soap opera/E.R.! The writers seem to at a loss now. And I'm not sure what they were thinking by bringing back 13. She's so depressing! LoL!

Not sure I care to watch next season. The writers have continued to take the easy way out all season. The weak reason to break up with the most amazing man she has ever known, after that many years of the push and pull she didn't even give him an opportunity to work on his issues. The ending of this season was very contrived as well. Without Cuddy and the weak writing not sure if there is an upside to season 8.

I missed a part and am curious if it is a foreshadower of next season and House's inevitable collapse. I caught it right at the tail end, when Wilson confronted House about using Wilson for fake prescriptions, he was upset because House had taken so many already. Did he say how long House had that current script for? Was it just a couple of days and House had already consumed over half a months worth? Thanks!

I was very disappointed with what the writers chose for House to do to "vent" his frustration and anger. I mean honestly, where does the show go from here? How do you bring back a man who was so selfish and angry that he easily could've killed people, including a child? I just don't know why they chose this way to end this season. I do however agree with Taub's double pregnancies being a shocker, certainly didn't see that coming and is the only thing I'm interested in seeing play out next season.

Very disappointing episode. Driving the car into the home of a woman he loves when there are other people and a child in the home, is a psychotic act. He could have easily killed someone... he almost ran over Wilson. In spite of House's issues and self-destructive personality, he is not homicidal. The writers didn't make any sense on this one. Also, how cheesy to write the double pregnancy. I expect more from this show. I didn't realize that Lisa Edelstein was not coming back next year so I guess I finally understand why she broke up with House. Afterall, she knew who he was all along, so it didn't make sense to me that she would dump him when he was simply being the House he had always been. Anyway, this season started out great, but halfway through, it went downhill and ended on a very low note for me.

Totally agree about the ending seeming purely for shock's sake. They would've been much smarter to rework the episode so the shots of Cuddy and Wilson with the police were at the end, and to have not released the car crash in the promo. Both of those things turned what would've been a dramatic final 5 minutes into a random and rather expected and disappointing mishmash. Hopefully next season they get back to the mainly medicine-based storylines of the first few seasons and take the show out on top.

She doesn't own the hospital, she's just in charge.

Cuddy owns the hospital...she cant just trasfer to another one. She always had the power to fire house.
House : From what I hear, nothing black is tiny. Except your penis.
