Twenty Vicodin

• House returns from prison and is given a second chance at Princeton Plainsboro, but finds everything has changed — he's forced to rebuild his team with new members including the timid Dr. Chi Park and the idealistic Dr. Adams, while navigating a conditional agreement with the hospital and an ankle monitor that limits his freedom. • House struggles to reconnect with Wilson after burning bridges, but their friendship slowly rebuilds over the season — culminating in the devastating revelation that Wilson is seriously ill, prompting the two to disappear on road trips and spend what may be their remaining time together. • The team dynamics shift significantly as Chase steps out of House's shadow, challenging him over the treatment of a young nun and questioning his methods, while Park grows more confident and navigates her personal life, and Adams repeatedly clashes with House over ethical boundaries. • House's unconventional personal life takes center stage as he maintains a green-card marriage with Dominika to help her stay in the country — a sham arrangement that unexpectedly evolves into something more genuine, forcing both of them to confront real feelings about love and companionship. • Taub faces a personal reckoning as DNA tests confirm the paternity of his two infant daughters, and he struggles to form emotional bonds with them while his ex-wife Rachel threatens to move across the country with one of the children. • Foreman settles into his role as the hospital's authority figure, chairing disciplinary hearings and trying to keep House in check, while also dealing with his own secret relationship with a married woman — and ultimately trying a new, less adversarial approach with House. • The season builds to an emotional finale as House, facing a return to prison for violating his parole, contemplates his legacy and his life's meaning — ultimately grappling with the unbearable prospect of losing Wilson and being unable to stand by his best friend when it matters most.
