Modern Family

"House"

In a late-season twist, House (Hugh Laurie) learns of an experimental surgery that will cure his ailing leg. The catch: The surgery has a 50-50 chance of success, and it might prove fatal. Meanwhile, House's team contracts a long-dormant strain of bubonic plague. A ... moresuperstitious nurse (Whitney Cummings) wonders if the return of the Black Death signifies the 2012 End of Days. In a riveting season finale, House goes under the knife and Dr. Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein) discovers black pustules in her armpits (represented by disgustingly graphic CGI). Everything ends in a cliffhanger.
