Recap: Everyone is still getting over Kutner's suicide. To try and make House feel better, Wilson screws with him by eating only healthy food because he knows House won't steal it that way. It takes House a long time to figure out what he's up to. He also incorrectly guessed Cameron's motives for helping with their case and he didn't come up with a patient idea. He's worried he's losing it. But he ends up solving the case anyway and figuring out why Wilson was eating healthy. Just when he's sort of feeling better, he sees Amber in his apartment and she starts talking to him.

Saviors

And this day was going so well too.

Wilson and I are better than we've been since she...since you died. Screwing with me was probably about the only thing that would have sort of made me feel better, and he knew it, and it worked. I didn't figure it out as quickly as I should have but I did figure it out.

Why are you here?

What's wrong with me?

I'm sick. I must be sick.

But why are you here? Why not Kutner? It's a little late for you, isn't it?

Even Wilson's starting to move on. He's seeing someone. It won't last, it's another one of his recipe for disaster girls, but he's seeing someone.

And he's trying to put his life back to normal. He...he's getting over your death and I'm getting over Kutner's death. Everybody dies. The rest of us are supposed to keep living.

You're not supposed to be here.

And I'm not supposed to see you. I didn't even love you. I didn't even like you.

But I did kill you. I tried to risk my life to save you, but it was too late. At least I gave you a few minutes with him. But it might have been easier for both of you if you just went.

Why am I talking to you? You're not Amber. Your my subconscious. Stop talking to it like it's Amber. It's just presenting itself in the form of Amber. Amber is dead and gone. She has no consciousness. She'll never know that you said these things to your hallucination.

But why is it here?

What's wrong with me?

It's not her, but it's her for a reason.

It shouldn't even be here.

Have I been drugged? Who would have drugged me and why? Is there something wrong with my brain?

That would explain it. I'm missing things. I missed Kutner's depression, I missed Cameron and Chase's reaction to his suicide, I missed Wilson's successful attempt to screw with me for much longer than I should have. I've got a brain tumor.

Unless it's not a brain tumor. Unless it's something else. Something not fixable. Or what if it's a brain tumor that's not fixable?

I'll get it fixed. It's a hallucination, not a delusion. I know she's dead. I know she's not real. I don't know why it's her.

She was a lot like me. Similar personality, same taste in jobs, we both love Wilson. Kutner was too happy. Except that he actually wasn't, or he wouldn't have killed himself.

It can't be Kutner because I don't know Kutner because if I'd known Kutner I would have known he was depressed. The guy I knew wasn't Kutner.

Amber I know because she's me. So she's here because she's me.

It's not because I killed her. If it had been because I killed her, I would have seen her after she died, not after Kutner died.

It's not because of Wilson because then I would have seen her when he left.

But there was nothing wrong with me then. Well, apart from the obvious. There's something wrong with me now. But she's not haunting me, her death was too long ago. She's...she's like me.

Technically she is me, because she's a hallucination, it really is just my mind. So it would have been me no matter who it was. But since she's already so much like me, my brain decided to pick her because it can more easily accept whatever I say through her as something she would say.

But it still doesn't explain why you're here.
