- DirectorParis BarclayStarsHugh LaurieLisa EdelsteinOmar EppsHouse's ex Stacy Warner asks him to treat her husband. House takes over a diagnostics class for a day and presents the class with three case studies of leg pain. As House tells his story and the class gradually fills up with listeners, the class learns a lot about how to be better doctors, and Chase, Foreman and Cameron learn some important details of House's past.For season 1 Three Stories takes the lead. It explains what happened to House's leg and builds his character and his origins.
- DirectorDeran SarafianStarsHugh LaurieLisa EdelsteinOmar EppsA police officer in critical condition has bizarre symptoms, and Dr. Foreman finds himself in an unpleasant situation.For season 2 I chose this episode. Has a pretty good opening and I feel like it spent plenty of time developing the characters most notably Foreman. The finale was great too, but this one wins by a hair.
- DirectorDeran SarafianStarsHugh LaurieLisa EdelsteinOmar EppsHouse tries radical procedures to save Foreman's life; Foreman's father visits.Since this episode was the second part of Euphoria and since it was just as enjoyable as the first part, I included it.
- DirectorJuan José CampanellaStarsHugh LaurieLisa EdelsteinOmar EppsStuck with clinic duty, House almost wishes he had the boring patients back after he encounters a young woman with an STD and the need to talk.For season 3 this episode claims the #1 spot. Probably one of the more underrated episodes on this list, this episode has the most memorable clinic duty scene in the series; the main patient is also very interesting. This was difficult to decide, because there were a few other great episodes this season, though I find this episode slightly better than those.
- DirectorGreg YaitanesStarsHugh LaurieLisa EdelsteinOmar EppsA bus that House was riding crashes. House claims there's a victim on the bus who is dying, but not from the bus accident. He stops at nothing to figure out who the patient is and what is ailing him/her.For season 4 the finale takes the #1 spot. House's character is very strong in this one, as are some of the other doctors. Also Wilson's relationship with Amber reaches a peak in this episode with some tragic results.
- DirectorKatie JacobsStarsHugh LaurieLisa EdelsteinOmar EppsThe team works to save someone close to a central character's heart. The key is inside House's head, but he is in a bad way himself.I included this one too, because I'm pretty sure it's the second part for the previous episode and was equally well written.
- DirectorGreg YaitanesStarsHugh LaurieLisa EdelsteinOmar EppsHouse and his team treat a patient who had his brain split in half, now it seems like one side of his brain is causing some health/behavioral issues. House plays games with Cuddy over the night he detoxed, and those events will cause major changes. Cameron and Chase come to a decision.For season 5 this episode is a definite winner. This episode is really well executed and takes the series into much darker territory. The transition to the next season is also very strong.
- DirectorKatie JacobsStarsHugh LaurieRobert Sean LeonardFranka PotenteHouse fights his doctors, the staff and his fellow patients when he's forced to stay in the psychiatric hospital under threat of permanently losing his medical license.For season 6, Broken takes the lead. This page counted both parts of this episode so I only needed to add one entry. The best opening to any season on this show.
- DirectorMiguel SapochnikStarsHugh LaurieLisa EdelsteinOmar EppsDarrien steals a car after getting stabbed and hurries to her friend 13's home for help. Chase brings an ultrasound and helps. House performs surgery on his own leg at home after using experimental drugs.
- DirectorDavid ShoreStarsHugh LaurieOmar EppsRobert Sean LeonardTreating a drug addict patient results in House examining his life, his future and confronting his own personal demons.For season 8 I chose none other than the series finale itself, Everybody Dies. This episode was very strong closing for this show we get to see a lot of our favorite characters from previous seasons, even if not every last one of them.
