List of episodes

The second season of House premiered on September 13, 2005[1] and ended on May 23, 2006.[1] During the season, House tries to cope with his feelings for his ex-girlfriend Stacy Warner, who, after House diagnosed her husband with acute intermittent porphyria, has taken a job in the legal department of Princeton-Plainsboro Hospital.[2]

Sela Ward's chemistry with Laurie in the final two episodes of season one was strong enough to have her character return in seven episodes of the second season.[3][4]
