Foreman fires Thirteen in "Epic Fail" in an attempt to save their relationship, which fails. In the episode "Don't Ever Change", Thirteen's contempt at the idea of being categorized or oversimplified leads to both House and Foreman to assume that she is bisexual, although she is surprised and does not respond to either of their comments. Her sexuality, often the butt of House's jokes and sexual innuendos, remains unclear until the episode "Lucky Thirteen".
Cast and characters
In the middle of all of this, Kutner is found dead in his apartment from an apparent suicide. The team each grieve in their own way, but Taub seems surprisingly blasé about the event, and House is convinced it must have been murder. We knew the network was looking for procedurals, and Paul [Attanasio] came up with this medical idea that was like a cop procedural. But I quickly began to realize that we needed that character element. Throughout his time on the show, he generated a lot of exciting ideas and accurate diagnoses, making him one of the most well-liked characters. After her role as Dr. Chi Park, Charlyne Yi landed a variety of co-stars in movies like This Is 40, Second Act and Always Be My Maybe and also voices various characters on the animated series Steven Universe.
The show is a stealth Sherlock Holmes adaptation
However it was clear that Kutner was shot with a gun he owned which had his fingerprints on it. In "Both Sides Now", Kutner appears briefly in one of House's hallucinations, along with Amber Volakis (who had previously died in "Wilson's Heart"). In "Everybody Dies", the series' final episode, Kutner once again appears in House's hallucinations.

In "Frozen", his idea that the patient's symptoms were the result of an embolysm led House to the right result. In "No More Mr. Nice Guy", Kutner beat House to the punch, coming up with the final diagnosis based on something House did to mislead the team. Finally, in "Locked In", Kutner beats everyone to the diagnosis. In his interactions with patients, Kutner is understanding and kind towards others. In "The Itch", Kutner's advice on being honest with patient caused the patient to allow the team into his house. In "Emancipation", Kutner was able to identify with the patient when he believed that she had lost her parents.

Taub is skeptical that Eddie really means what he said about his wife. Taub sees that Eddie's heart chamber walls are barely moving. House goes to the patient room to suggest they induce a heart attack in Charlotte because her heart is too strong while Eddie's is too weak.
House (TV series)
Like most people of Hindu heritage, Modi doesn't smoke, doesn't drink, and is a strict vegetarian. Given that he's about to go to prison and most likely be stripped of his medical license for a plumbing prank gone wrong, House isn't in any any rush to leave the blazing structure. Instead, he engages in philosophical discussions about life and death with four ghosts of House past — Lawrence Kutner (Kał Penn), Amber Volakis (Anne Dudek), Stacy Warner (Sela Ward), and Allison Cameron (Jennifer Morrison) — two of whom are dead. And it was a chance for non-Broadway audiences to get a look at some of his talents. A later interview with GQ reveals just how much his turn on the show meant to him.
Shore decided to use Penn's character's exit to make a point about mental health and to throw a wrench into the show's works. Kutner unexpectedly commits suicide, leaving the other characters grief-stricken and — almost more importantly — confused. Laurie was baffled by the response his character got — "Even my wife Jo doesn't think I'm sexy," he told Hello Magazine — but no one else was. But while the show has become a part of television history, it's far from a dusty relic. It's still a vibrant, entertaining drama that people are talking about. Let's join the conversation and look at the untold truth of House, M.D.

Kutner's girlfriend Nicole Brewster remembered that Lawrence, being adopted and of Indian ancestry, always felt like an outsider. Despite this, she said he didn't resent it - instead, he felt the experience gained him added insight and perspective. This drew him to take atypical paths in his career and personal life. One such example is when he decided to break the world record for distance crawling. After a grueling 43 hours, he managed to crawl 20 miles, and earn himself a place in Guinness Book of World Records in 2002. "Building a house from the ground up is no small thing," Kunis told AD.
Thirteen and Foreman, who had been ordered to Kutner’s apartment by House when Kutner was late for work, discovered his lifeless body (along with a gun nearby). Kutner is open-minded about any new experience and wants to join House’s new squad. His starting position during the games is #6, but he is sacked after his first outing for disclosing Amber Volakis’s recording of patient data. He was discovered dead in his apartment with a headshot wound.
The decision to kill off one of the series' most popular characters met with a great deal of resistance from both critics and fans. In the end, the subplot about the lack of a "simple explanation" for Kutner's suicide overshadowed the main plot of the episode about a middle-aged married couple whose disorders seem to mirror each other - when one gets worse, the other gets better. The main plot draws on such classics as The Gift of the Magi, with both patients being willing to sacrifice themselves for each other. Even when the plot reveals the one half of the couple has betrayed the other half, their love for each other still lasts until the end.
The conflict is resolved during the funeral when Foreman reaches out for Thirteen's hand, and Thirteen, surprised by the gesture, accepts. House finally asks if Kutner said anything about family problems, bad relationships or financial pressures. Foreman notes that Kutner's parents had been shot right in front of him as a boy. This was long ago, and House says that shooting yourself is an act of panic, not something you would do if you wanted a peaceful death. He suggests that the rest of the team are idiots for not seeing something coming.
When he doesn't answer, Thirteen shows Foreman she has a key to Kutner's apartment. They open the door and look around the room, but no signs of Kutner appears. Foreman then checks his laptop and realizes that his pager is still there, meaning that Kutner should've been around. Thirteen continues to look around, and then her smile turns into a combination of fright and disbelief as she finds Kutner lying in a pool of blood.
Wilson confesses to hacking Thirteen's e-mail account, but it is later shown that it was really House. House is evasive about whether he did it for his own benefit, Foreman's or Thirteen's, but Wilson surmises that it is simply because he likes having her around and he needs her. In the episode "Teamwork", Thirteen has returned from Thailand and House manages to convince her to return to his team along with Chase, Taub, and Foreman. In "Lockdown", Thirteen says she went to Newton North High School.[6] In "Epic Fail", Thirteen reveals she attended Sarah Lawrence College.
He told Playbill, "When they said they wrote the part with me in mind, they weren't kidding. I play House's roommate in the psych ward, and the best way of putting it is I play Tigger to his Eeyore." When his episodes aired in 2009, Miranda had already created the award-winning musical In the Heights, but his biggest breakout hit — Founding Father rap musical Hamilton — was still ahead of him. He'd debuted a short concept version at the White House only a few months before. The show didn't waste that drama — Kutner becomes a symbol of everything haunting House.
She later tells Masters, "the real reason I was gone is not something I want to share." Upon her return to work, House notices a change in her personality, as she has become more cynical and fatalistic, appearing resigned to misery. House eventually concludes that if Thirteen can convince herself that she is naturally miserable as a person, then she does not have to hate the universe for making her miserable. Thirteen then turns around, pointing out that House's life is also miserable, and that "We are who we are. Lotteries are stupid."
