Sol is found dead in the forest, where she has been for the last couple of weeks after having been thrown from her horse - apparently, anyway. Amelia and Gabriel also spend the night together, and he proposes they go to Cuba - at first, she’s a bit thrown by the seriousness of the suggestion, but he wins her around with a pretty evocative description of their lives together.
It’s his big moment in the service of justice and such, but the subsequent scene with the kitchen staff, who all rally around Clara and sit with her late into the night, is much more touching. After their conversation, Diego writes up a declaration of all the crimes committed by the Marquis of Soto and the duel that ended his life, to be delivered to the King immediately. Not nice for him, obviously, but you know what I mean.ĭiego catches Clara packing her bags. He immediately confronts Diego about this and asks to take Amelia away, describing Castamar as “a golden cage”, which is a nice way of putting it. She does drop the bomb that she’s with child, though, which sends Gabriel into a tailspin. She’s reluctant, for the sake of her future, but she can’t bring herself to say that her feelings aren’t reciprocal. But that’s nothing on Gabriel, who wants her to cancel it entirely and be with him. Mercedes wants the wedding to be quick and discreet anyway, which you can’t imagine Amelia is thrilled about, given how she is. Of course, she wouldn’t want to be at the wedding during her grieving process, would she? Oh, the sass. Of course, she’s in the kitchen, which is where Amelia visits her to thank her for what she did, though she doesn’t miss an opportunity to remind Clara that her father’s execution is the next day. He’s unconscious for days, and when he wakes the first person he asks for is, obviously, Clara, who isn’t there. One one level, giving Wilson terminal cancer is about the cruelest ending Shore could have written both for his hero and his fans, and coming after so much relentless suffering for House it might have felt like overkill.īut House being forced to take care of his best friend after eight seasons of the opposite turned out to be just the shot of emotional adrenalin the show needed in its final episodes, with Leonard and Laurie particularly devastating in 'The C-Word' as House nurses Wilson through a potentially deadly experimental treatment.And he is - sort of. House lost its way for a while in its final seasons, but creator David Shore righted the ship just in time for the end by putting the focus firmly on the relationship that had always been the show's core. We will never be able to hear Iron & Wine's 'Passing Afternoon' without tearing up, thanks to this episode.
HOUSE SEASON 1 EPISODE 12 FULL
Dudek was such a potent presence that Amber is a huge loss in herself, particularly since the strike meant we didn't even get a full season of her.īut it's the impact her death has on everyone around her that really stings – from Wilson, who's wrecked, to House, who's guilt-stricken, to Thirteen, who finally confronts her Huntington's diagnosis as a result. Convinced that one of his fellow passengers is missing and in mortal danger, he goes to characteristically insane lengths to shock his brain into recovering the memories, which leads to several visually-arresting sequences inside what we can only call House's 'mind bus'.īy the time he realises the victim is Amber – now Wilson's girlfriend – she's beyond saving, and her final moments are as gut-wrenching as it gets. House emerges from a serious bus crash relatively unscathed, but unable to remember anything leading up to the accident. As the episodes' titles imply, they're a perfect one-two punch, with the first boggling your mind just in time for the second to break your heart. Viewed as a two-parter, the season four finale rivals 'Three Stories' as the show's finest hour.
HOUSE SEASON 1 EPISODE 12 TV
This was, after all, back when TV anti-heroes were still the exception rather than the rule.īut the show's blend of episodic mystery and strong character writing gathered steam, and throughout its second, third and fourth seasons House was one of the most watched programmes on US television, earning Hugh Laurie a slew of Emmy nominations - though, shamefully, never a win.īelow, Digital Spy looks back on the very best of Laurie's tormented diagnostician, naming our favourite 13 episodes in chronological order. A staggering proportion of shows that premiered that year went on to become either bona fide hits or beloved cult classics: Lost, Veronica Mars, Rescue Me, Entourage, Desperate Housewives, and a little medical drama called House, which premiered on Fox 13 years ago.Ī spiky, brainy, somewhat dark re-imagining of Sherlock Holmes starring a little-known British comedian as a very prickly leading man, the show didn't sound like anybody's idea of a guaranteed hit. 2004 was a hell of a year for US television.
