House's going to Ezra's room, of course. Foreman and Chase follow him in. Cameron stands up. House tells them to leave while he prepares what I'm guessing is a nice big dose of killer morphine from his handsome leather suicide assistance kit, which has ample pockets and room for all your suicide assisting needs! Only $99.95 at Brookstone. He tells them to make sure someone sees them downstairs in the cafeteria and not in the room of the patient who just died. Aw, he sort of cares sometimes. Foreman runs up and says that he won't let House do this. House threatens to shoot him up with the morphine instead. When Foreman looks to the Cottages for support, it's not forthcoming. So he abandons whatever morals made him want to stop this and leaves the room. "I can't be a part of this," Cameron says, as if House didn't just tell her to leave the room and not be a part of this. She leaves. Chase and House stare at each other, and then Chase closes the door and shuts the blinds in what appears to be the time-honored Assisted Suicide Procedure. I'm sure it won't look at all suspicious that two doctors just bolted out of Ezra's room loudly announcing their intentions to go to the cafeteria and then the door closed and all the blinds were drawn. Not at all. Anyway, good for Chase for actually showing some kind of personality here, although I'm still not sure if he's doing it because he believes doctor-assisted suicide is right or to suck up to House.
"Thank you," Ezra whispers as House hovers over him with the needle of death. Bad move, Ezra -- House doesn't know how to deal with people's gratitude. "I always wondered exactly what was on the other side." "Nothing," House responds. Well, except for some farmers and volleyball players. With that, House, injects Ezra's IV line with the needle. Ezra dies. The monitors beep. And then House checks his watch and springs into action, much to Chase's confusion. He grabs some medical equipment and tells Chase to give him a hand. He lied to Ezra, figuring that it wasn't as bad as killing him. Ezra's simply in a coma so he can't whine while House continues to test him.
