The seventh season of House premiered on September 20, 2010 and ended on May 23, 2011. This season marks the final appearance of Lisa Cuddy in the series, as Lisa Edelstein announced that she wouldn't come back for the next season. The main storylines for this season include House's relationship with Cuddy - which has a terrible end for both of them, Wilson's break up with Sam, the sudden departure (and later return) of Thirteen and her replacement with Masters and Taub cheating on his ex-wife and subsequent news of a double pregnancy (from both Rachel Taub and a nurse).

This season featured the first change in the opening credits. Both Olivia Wilde and Peter Jacobson were promoted to the main cast (after being recurring cast for three years) and Jennifer Morrison's name was eliminated (due to her character leaving during the first half of the previous season).

Prior to the start of the remainder of the season in 2011, it was announced that a multi-episode arc that would feature House on the road was scrapped, forcing David Shore to return to the show to rework the rest of the season. Furthermore, Fox ordered one more episode for the season, bringing the total number of episodes to 23.

"I'm seeing Cuddy... generally without any clothes on."
―House breaks the news to Wilson and the team.

House, M.D.'s seventh season premiered September 20, 2010. It had a total of 10.54 million U.S. viewers.[1]

House and Cuddy attempt to make a real relationship work and face the question as to whether their new relationship will affect House's ability to diagnose patients. [2] Meanwhile, Remy Hadley takes personal leave and her position is eventually taken over by a bright young medical student, Martha M. Masters[3] (Amber Tamblyn)[4], whose only fault is that she's not quite qualified as a physician. Also, Cuddy's mother (Candice Bergen) and sister (Paula Marshall) show up for the first time in the series [5][6] A story-arc featuring House on the road over a series of episodes was scrapped by David Shore, bringing him back from working on a reboot of The Rockford Files to rework the rest of the season. Furthermore, FOX requested that one more episode be created for the season, bringing the total number of episodes to 23.[7] Near the end of the season, Remy Hadley returns as Masters departs from the hospital. What's more, most if not all of the intimate relationships of the characters blow up by the end of the season.[8][9]. In the episode Bombshells Cuddy finally breaks up with House, and the fallout of their relationship takes us to the end of the season. Although the producers hinted about "wedding bells", the only wedding was an immigration driven marriage between House and Dominika Petrova, a young Ukrainian immigrant who needed a green card.

The season ended with the final episode Moving On on May 23, 2011. It was confirmed by Fox as of May 10, 2011, that there was a Season 8, which premiered on October 3, 2011.

Overview[]

House and Cuddy make their relationship public, but despite the fact that they are both happier than they have been for years, they both see problems. House is sure that Cuddy is merely hopped up on the sex and good feelings that are typical early in the relationship and that she will dump him once she realizes what she's gotten herself into. Cuddy is sure that her supervisory role over House is either going to poison their relationship or ruin House's medical skills, and she's uncomfortable with many aspects of House's past, such as the prostitute he's still seeing for non-sexual purposes. House is also not certain he wants to have a role in Rachel Cuddy's life and starts to balk at the responsibility, although towards the end of the season, House and Rachel seem to share a strange bond over a cartoon about pirates.

Throughout the season we see that House chooses his own interests over Cuddy until Cuddy comes down with what seems to be cancer that has metastasized, which will most likely result in her death. It is learned, though, that the tumor is benign and the metastasis was just harmless inflammation, and what was thought to be the cancer spreading was an allergy to antibiotics. Even so, Cuddy is disappointed in House for never truly being there for her, and furthermore that he decided to take Vicodin before showing up for her surgery, and thus ends her relationship with him. House returns not only to his Vicodin habit, but also appears to lose his interest in even the medical puzzles he once found fulfillment in solving.

Thirteen arranges personal leave and the team decides she's off to Rome for experimental treatment for her Huntington's. However, when she doesn't appear on the clinic's patient list, they realize she's disappeared without a trace. A year later, however, House has figured out that Thirteen has been in jail for the past six months, and therefore goes to meet her the day she was due to be released. On their road trip, Thirteen and House catch up, with House continually trying to deduce why she was in jail despite claiming down to excessive prescribing. After a hard reveal by House that Cuddy and him were an item and currently aren't, Thirteen reveals that she killed a man. However, the next day, at the spud gun competition, Thirteen slips in her story by saying "us", which then leads House to solve the puzzle and deduce that Thirteen euthanized her sibling with Huntington's Disease, meaning the original leave was to take care of her dying brother. Even so, House allows her in on the case he was on during the road trip, and to the team's surprise, Thirteen solves the case for them. Afterward, House promises to be there to euthanize Thirteen when the time comes in her own battle with Huntington's.

While Thirteen is absent, Cuddy insists that House hire a new female to replace her for the time being, but when House fires the initial new fellows, Cuddy sticks him with a bright young medical student, Martha M. Masters. This leads to various collisions of personalities when Masters reveals herself to be rather intelligent academically, rather awkward socially, and very persistent about telling the truth. However, her nature tends to lead to contradictions in thought and action, as evidenced when she allows herself to break the rules by falling for a patient while chiding House for using narcotics while on duty and on the hospital's premises. Despite this push and pull, House finally offers Masters a job when she graduates medical school, only to yank it away when she refuses to hand in a log book with a lumbar puncture she didn't actually perform as a final test from House. However, after doing one more case with House and bending ethics to save her patient, Masters decides to re-evaluate her decision to become a surgeon and to see if she can't truly excel.

Chase deals with his estrangement from Cameron by engaging in promiscuous sex. After he's pranked by a woman who he passed over, and Masters confronts him over his behavior, Chase decides to try celibacy with mixed results.

On the other hand, Wilson seems to be rebuilding his relationship with Sam Carr, only for it to fall apart after a misunderstanding between them over an issue regarding some of her patient files which Wilson feels were falsified but Sam insists were honest mistakes. Wilson decides to fix it by taking in a diabetic cat, and although he was taken out to a bar by House, he finds that he is not ready to date yet.

Feeling that he is a continuing disappointment, Taub divorces his wife. Thrown out of his home, he builds a relationship with Eric Foreman and moves into Foreman's spare room. However, when Taub starts dating both a beautiful young CNA, Ruby, and his ex-wife, his life is complicated beyond belief when both women get pregnant.
