Summary
'"I'm not screwing you, House," Cuddy said, just so she wouldn't apologize and promise him everything was going to be okay. This was still House. This was still her employee, her nuisance, her friend. As much as they both snapped and bit and tore at one another, she counted herself securely in House's very small, very exclusive circle of friends. Neither of them would ever admit it aloud; she wasn't even sure if House had considered her a friend, but she thinks they are, so now, he doesn't really have a choice.'
---
Or where during the events of Wilson's Heart, House's seizure deals more damage than expected. His memory is gone— he has lost the experiences that made him who he is, and now he must contend with the loss while relearning what it means to be himself.

Summary
'The music flows through his fingers in a way that makes him feel like an amnesiac cliche. He doesn't really know how he knows what he's doing, but he falls into the song because it's easy. He knows it. This is something he knows, intrinsically— like pain, like grief. It's as mindless as breathing.
But then he stops, abruptly. His left foot was able to hit the soft and sostenuto pedals fine, knowing what to do and when to do it, but when he went to hit the sustain, he realized there was nothing with which to press down. He looks down at his lap, seeing the tied-off knot of his sweatpants over his stump, and blinks, remembering himself. Ah. Right.'---
Or, in the weeks and months after the accident that killed Amber and the deep brain stimulation that stole House's memories, he contends with the decision he's made. Down an identity and a leg, he must continue to wade through the weeds of what his life was before.
(Reading the first part of the series is strongly recommended. Picks up directly where that one leaves off.)

Summary
"For all these six months and two weeks he'd felt like there was something missing. Something he wasn't seeing; wasn't being shown. Something that everyone was keeping from him. The reason for House's complete one-eighty, the reason for the clear eyes that were so familiar and yet so foreign. It was the last puzzle piece but the most integral— it was what would tie it all together. There had to be some logic to it all. There had to be something to pull it all together. But here he was in the weeds again, pulled from the bar again. In the grey room, on the bench, sitting with his shame. His breath shuddered and he shuddered. The world didn't make sense.
He closed his eyes, feeling the pressure building behind them. He missed. He shuddered. He wanted, he wanted, he wanted."---
Or, in which Wilson contends with the reality he's made; he is haunted by his past.
(Reading the first two parts of this series is strongly recommended. This is Wilson's side of the story/What's happening to Wilson throughout the events of the first two books.)

Summary
"'You're not even angry— you feel betrayed.' Huh. House throws a derisive expression onto his face, but in his mind, he turns it over and over. Anger is easy. Anger is simple. It's base and understandable, easier to process than the underlying reality. Emotions are always pretending to be anger. Let's say anger is fair. It's not. We can say it is, but it's not. Does he feel betrayed? Everything happens for a reason."
---
Or, in which House and Wilson learn to live in each other's orbit; Cuddy and the Ducklings meddle; and House is just trying to make the world make sense.
(Reading the first three parts of this series is strongly recommended. Picks up where book 3 left off.)
