Quotes

Afsoun Hamidi: But this is a puzzle tailor-made for you. You don't know which of my symptoms are real, which are fake and which ones I'm not even telling you about. I know that intrigues you. Do you really want to end it now?
Dr. Gregory House: ...No.

User Reviews

The title says it all 'Moving On'

To really understand this episode you need to watch the whole season. The ending is really an ending only House could provide. Every season everybody tells House off. They ask him to deal with his pain, they all act like their are perfect and he is weird self destructive and mad. The truth is he lives with pain every day and he is saving lives at the same time. Well in this episode he really smiles in front of everyones hypocritical faces.

I don't know what you will think, my 2 cents of advice is watch it, and judge for yourselves. A great ending for this season and the writers have to work hard with the next one to find a proper story line to continue this wonderful story.
