[s4e16] House's Head (part 2) [LATEST]

: Because amantadine binds to proteins, it cannot be cleared via dialysis. House must inform a devastated Wilson that there is no cure. Major Themes

: The finale fundamentally alters the series' core relationship. Wilson is left alone, finding a final note from Amber, while House awakens from a coma to face the wreckage of his friendship.

: The recovered memory reveals that House, too drunk to drive, called Wilson for a ride; Amber arrived instead. They were on the bus together when the accident occurred. The Medical and Moral Failure

: House deduces that Amber was taking amantadine for the flu. The crash caused acute kidney failure, preventing her body from processing the drug and resulting in lethal amantadine poisoning.

: House’s subconscious manifests a guide who prompts him to identify the patient. He eventually realizes her necklace is made of amber, signifying that the "dying patient" is actually Amber Volakis , Wilson’s girlfriend.

In the second part, "Wilson's Heart," the team discovers Amber is suffering from multisystem organ failure.
