Out of options, he checked himself into a psychiatric hospital. Season 6 will explore House’s long and twisted road to recovery: Can he find some version of sanity and normalcy?

Can Princeton-Plainsboro continue its celebrated Department of Diagnostics without him? How will Cuddy’s relationship with House change, now that their imagined affair is out in the open?
