House's hallucinations.. Though Kutner's death was far from the first time that a major character in a TV show has committed suicide, it was unique in that there was never an explanation given for why he did it. Kutner did not leave a series of tapes detailing the thirteen reasons why he took his own life; he was simply showing up to work like normal in one episode, and gone in the next.
When asked in the EW interview why they didn't simply have Kutner take a job at another hospital, Shore explained, " The suicide was essential to [the story]. The lack of reason behind it - the lack of answers - was what I responded to and is what I got excited about. House not seeing Kutner's suicide coming was a key part of the story, since House is the man who's supposed to see everything. Shore elaborated:. Obviously, there are reasons, but the notion that the reasons are too complicated for even House to figure out is what was drawing us to it.
I like the fact that Kutner is almost the least likely guy to do this. And it gets down to the issue of, 'Do we know anybody? You work with somebody for two years, but do you really know them? Had Penn not received the job offer that he did and made the decision to leave, Kutner might just as easily have continued to be a major part of the House MD cast for years afterwards.
I understand it was your decision to leave House. They take out all of the red tape that falls between the general. Will you actually be working in the White House? The White House has two. But, obviously, the. But probably from the time I was. They marched with. Gandhi in the Indian independence movement, and that was always in the. Stanford, where they actually let you do most of the course work online. The ultimate irony, of course, is that I love being on House. PENN: We had a very long discussion.
PENN: Not necessarily. I still have. How did you react when you found out how they were writing Kutner out? Ultimately, it was a really interesting. And as a. The feeling would have been very different if I was not enjoying. He was assigned "Number 6" in the fellowship application process and in " The Right Stuff " he was assigned to accompany the patient to the hyperbaric chamber but when she started to have a heart attack he, against the advice of Jeffrey Cole , decided to use the defibrillator in the oxygen rich environment, starting a small fire and setting off the sprinkers in the process.
However, this incident merely earned him the attention of House. He nearly lost out when he snitched on another applicant and House fired him, but he turned his card over to become "Number 9" and when House tried to fire him again, he saved himself by coming up with the idea of using alcohol tolerance as a way of testing the patient's liver without having to chart it. As a result, he survived to the next episode.
Kutner earned House's disapproval for wasting time when his strategy in the team challenge in " 97 Seconds " was to test the patient for everything they could think of.
Luckily, he and the rest of his team survived when the other team's actions cost the patient his life. When the numbers were removed from the contenders near the end of the process, House began referring to Kutner as "Former Foster Kid". This indicated that House was either aware of Kutner's boyhood tragedy before Kutner revealed it to Thirteen and thus to the audience in " Wilson's Heart ", or merely came to the conclusion through careful observation and deduction.
Kutner had more fun with the defibrillator in " Mirror Mirror ", when he nearly electrocuted himself when he defibrillated a soaking wet patient and the shock travelled through the paddles to knock him out. After attending a magic show with his new friend Cole and seeing the magician nearly drown, he was convinced there was something seriously wrong with him. When the patient got worse in the hospital, he suggested that the blood transfusion may be somehow to blame. Kutner turned out to be right on both counts - the patient had lupus and the blood was the wrong type.
As such, when Cole was given the opportunity to choose two applicants of whom House would fire one and chose Kutner and Amber Volakis , House became suspicious and realized Cole had made a deal with Cuddy to try to get rid of Kutner. House fired Cole instead. As such, by the episode " Games " when House had to make his final choice of two applicants, he asked Cuddy's advice knowing that she would try to manipulate House.
Instead, he chose the applicants—Taub and Kutner—that Cuddy suggested. Cuddy finally admitted she only chose those two to get House to pick one of the women. She agreed to let House hire Thirteen too. After hiring him permanently, House began referring to him simply as "Kutner", but in " Emancipation " he made reference to the "Former Foster Kid" nickname by calling him "Oliver Twist".
Kutner turned out to be an outstanding fellow. 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.
Despite his success, Kutner committed suicide in the episode "Simple Explanations". His lifeless body was found with a gun nearby by Thirteen and Foreman, who had been sent to Kutner's apartment by House when Kutner was late for work.
They tried to resuscitate him, but to no avail as he had been dead for several hours and his body was cold. Later in the episode House went to Kutner's apartment and declared he had been murdered, but this was primarily because House could not fathom the idea that he had not seen his suicide coming. House felt as though he was losing his "touch" about assessing people but later came to the realization that Kutner did commit suicide. House continued to struggle with Kutner's death and began suffering from sleep-deprivation, even going so far as to hallucinate dead people, one of them being Amber Volakis , James Wilson's dead girlfriend.
This ultimately triggered House's breakdown and upon realizing he was suffering from Psychosis after realizing that his supposed night with Lisa Cuddy was merely an illusion, House temporarily left his position as the Head of Diagnostics Medicine and headed to Mayfield Psychiatric Hospital to get help for his Vicodin addiction and psychosis. Kutner is survived by his adoptive parents. A private Hindu celebration of his life was held.
