I thought it was an excellent, if disturbing episode. The way the 3 suicide story lines were interwoven was very interesting. One thing that really struck me about the show was that 2 of the main characters have played suicides in other shows - Wilson in the Dead Poet's Society and Foreman in ER. For me, both of those characters have been tainted with sadness because of their past character's actions. It was rather heartbreaking at the end to see House sitting in Lawrence's apartment, surrounded by his photographs, with no more clue of who the man had been or why he'd done it. Although it could have wound up feeling like an after-school special, I appreciated the producers adding the suicide hot line information at the end. I hope the devastation the characters feel at the loss of their friend might have an impact on someone considering suicide.
