- — Nobody's Fault
Nobody's Fault is a Season 8 episode of House, M.D. that will first air on February 6, 2012. It is written by Russel Friend, Garrett Lerner and David Foster, and directed by Greg Yaitanes.
After a patient suffers a psychotic break and nearly kills a hospital staff member after being treated for House's diagnosis, House's career as a doctor is in jeopardy and his fate is in the hands of Mercy Hospital's head of neurology Dr. Walter Cofield - a famous neurosurgeon who was once Foreman's mentor. However, the question becomes whether the fault was in House's unorthodox methods or the conventional methods of the other treating physicians. In the end, Dr. Cofield must balance House's results against the dangers of his methods.
The format of the episode will be similar to The Mistake, where the case will unfold during the investigation. It will also follow the format of Three Stories and Two Stories by telling the story in non-chronological fashion.
Advanced reviews of the episode are touting it as one of the most important episodes of the series.
