Summary
“Val, do it.” She recognizes the popping static of ghost speak. Danny raises his head and the pain in his eyes is gone, replaced with grim, angry determination.
She opens her mouth to respond, but he stops her.
“Don’t reply, just shoot me. If you do it, you’re free.”
He couldn’t survive this. Not unless there's something major he isn’t telling her.
And then she remembers there is.
//

Danny struggles with the cost of keeping his secrets to avoid hurting Valerie, while Valerie grapples with the real ramifications of her suit’s technology and how ghostly she's becoming. Together they must both face their truths if they want to get out alive.

Summary
House and Death play Operation for Wilson's life.
*
“This is the part where you ask me if I'm fucking him, you know.” He's grateful for the last defense of being nasty, a familiar trench to crawl into. “Maybe I’m not even asking out of the goodness of my heart. This could just be… sex. Selfishness. Aren’t you supposed to ask if it’s the right kind of love?”
Death takes a long look at him.
YOU ARE CHALLENGING ON HIS BEHALF. ‘DON'T GO’ IS THE ONLY KIND OF LOVE THERE IS. -
