Remy 'Thirteen' Hadley) also left the show after the third episode in order to further her film career, although she returned at the end of the series. It was the only season not to feature Lisa Edelstein as Dr.

The installment concluded with House in Kutner's apartment, going through his photos, desperately trying to make sense of the suicide. How could he have missed this? Is House losing his gift? He analyzes every situation, every individual he comes across. As the episode wore on, though, it was apparent that Wilson's concern was spot on: House was in shock that he could not have seen Kutner's death coming. House initially lashed out, even blaming Kutner's parents for the turn of events. Wilson tried to be there for House, as he was also concerned about how his friend was handling the revelation that his co-worker - a man with whom he'd worked closely for two years - could be so troubled to take his own life, yet House would never have seen it coming. Cuddy was shaken up, and also concerned about the reaction of House. but he completely broke down by himself at the hospital, as the episode drew to a close.

Here's how each character reacted to this shocking death: Thirteen and Foreman found his body, along with the gun he used to shoot himself in the head, shortly after they were sent to his apartment to see why the doctor was late for work.

We can't focus on the Patient of the Week, however not when Kutner committed suicide to kick start 'Simple Explanation.' Meat Loaf guest-starred on this episode of House.Īnd the singer was involved in a perfectly solid, heart-tugging storyline that involved his character overcoming a heretofore-believed life-threatening illness, while his wife fell terminally ill instead.
