House: Season 05 (2008)

Synopsis of House: Season 05

Season 5 finds medical misanthrope Greg House more irascible than ever. As the season opens, House's best (well, only) friend James Wilson returns to Princeton-Plainsboro after three months of grief leave following his fiancée Amber's death, only to announce he's leaving. The reason, Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard) claims initially, is that everything reminds him of Amber. But that's not good enough for House (Hugh Laurie), who neglects his duties to get to the bottom of it. After enduring some of House's trademark harassment, Wilson confesses Amber isn't the reason he's leaving -- House is. Their "bromance" isn't dead though, especially after a wild road trip the two take to the funeral of House's father. Meanwhile, love blossoms among the staff, with relationships developing between Cameron and Chase (Jennifer Morrison, Jesse Spencer), Thirteen and Foreman (Olivia Wilde, Omar Epps), and possibly even House and new adoptive mom Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein), who share a few tender moments between bickering sessions. The season takes a darker turn toward its conclusion, as the good doctors face an inexplicable tragedy that deeply affects them all, but House in particular, who also turns to stronger medication to control his pain. ~ Dianne Zoccola, Rovi
