The crash caused acute kidney injury, making her kidneys unable to adequately filter out the amantadine, which caused all of her unexplained symptoms. House goes into a seizure while still connected to the deep brain stimulation equipment, and falls into a coma. "Wilson's Heart" is the sixteenth episode and season finale of the fourth season of House and the eighty-sixth episode overall. It is the second and final part of the two-part fourth season finale, the first part being "House's Head".

She tries to help him throughout his newest case, a 14 year old deaf boy who collapsed during a wrestling match; and continuously shows up giving him hints and clues as to how to solve the case as well as just generally irritating and making conversation with him. Slowly she started influencing House more and more, starting by convincing him to hire a specific stripper for Dr. Chase's bachelor party named Karamel, then convincing him to have Dr. Chase put an implant into the deaf patient's brain which allowed him to hear again. This backfired however as Dr. Cuddy decided to Foreman in charge of the case as a consequence to this. The following patient was a man with muscular dystrophy, and in order to weed out more competition House elected to split the remaining candidates by gender, Amber however requested to go onto the men's team, which House was somewhat indifferent to although realized why she asked this. Amber figuring all of the male applicants were incompetent decided that she would go on their side, solve the case and therefore eliminate all of the women (AKA the genuine competition in her mind). This plan somewhat backfired however when the women began succeeding more and more in the case while all of the men and Amber were nearly fired due to all of them simply running tests in the lab and never bothering to actually see the patient.

We said goodbye to Amber in the following episode, "Wilson's Heart".
However, Wilson settles into Amber's apartment, and it appears the relationship is going to be permanent. Amber's hallucination appears one last time in the series finale, Everybody Dies, along with a slew of other characters but unlike many of her previous appearances, she encourages House to live. At first House was amused and tried to cope with the hallucination, but things got very serious when Chase nearly died due to an allergic reaction to the type of body butter that a stripper at his bachelor party used. Since House invited said stripper under Amber's suggestion, House assumed that since Amber was part of his subconscious, he was trying to kill Chase too. From then on, House tried serval methods to be rid of the hallucination. The hallucination was born out of House's guilt over Kutner's death; which in turn caused his chronic insomnia-induced insanity and Vicodin addiction.
Dr. Amber Volakis
Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard) and Amber dated happily for a while, despite House attempting to come between them and get her to go away. However, there are also many hints that House has feelings for her as well. Let's take a look back at two of the most powerful episodes of House and discuss what happened to Amber. Also unlike House, she doesn't appear to have any sympathy for the down and out, believing that people who are "losers" are just unwilling to do what it takes to get ahead.
Amber hallucination
Wilson holds her for the remainder of her time alive and she fights to stay with him. Although she says she's tired, he asks her to hold on "just a little longer." "We are always going to want just a little longer," she says back. When she asks Wilson how bad it is and he explains what's happened to her, she slowly breaks down.
The team confirms House's diagnosis of Amber, but there is nothing they can do to treat her. Wilson weans Amber off anesthesia in order to spend her last moments alive with him. The team comes in one by one to say goodbye to Amber, and after Wilson himself says goodbye, he shuts off Amber's bypass and she dies peacefully in Wilson's arms.
Dudek had a role on House (recurring from season 4 onwards) as Amber Volakis, one of 40 physicians under consideration by Dr. House for permanent positions on his team. She appeared one last time in a dream House experienced while in a coma, a result of deep brain stimulation, which led to a seizure and a brain bleed. On a bus surrounded by white light, she acknowledged she was dead and told House to get off the bus. Amber's new home is a big change from the unique penthouse she formerly shared with Johnny during their marriage.
Amber was described, not without some truth, as the female version of House. While perhaps not as smart as House, it is clear she is highly intelligent, as well as being ambitious, driven and goal oriented. The mirror patient revealed that much of this is to build her own self-esteem. Also like House, she doesn't much care about what other people think about her and her sense of self is highly dependent on her own intelligence and abilities. Unlike House, she is highly competitive and has a "win at all costs" attitude.

When she wouldn't drink with him, House stormed off and boarded a bus; Amber followed to give him his cane. Like the anonymous woman from the previous episode, the unconscious Amber continues to guide House through his dreams and hallucinations, telling him when he's not on the right track. Amber was one of the forty applicants fighting for the available fellowship positions in The Right Stuff. However, she revealed to Jeffrey Cole that she was still doing work at her old job while she competed for the new one. She was quickly identified as the most ambitious candidate when she was assigned and nine other candidates to wash House's car while twenty others were running tests.
House talks to Wilson again, telling him what's wrong with his patient, then confessing he still thinks he's ill. House goes to his patient and apologizes for making severe mistakes while treating her, all the while Amber is impressed with him. He didn't feel anything from the apology however, once again telling Wilson he feared he had Multiple Sclerosis. House realizes the danger of her and by extension his own subconscious by this point and in spite of her trying to convince him that she was of benefit to him, House tried to sleep to get rid of her, but she persevered and kept trying to tell him to return to the hospital.

Much of Amber's early life is a mystery, however it's known that she was always competitive and manipulative, always striving for victory against everyone around her; including her classmates, co-workers, peers etc. Her childhood was seemingly quite happy though, especially considering how when asked why she was so competitive by House, she simply listed off a bunch of overused clichés as explanation. The song that plays as House exits the bus until the end of the episode is "Passing Afternoon" by Iron and Wine. The song that plays near the end of the episode when House and Amber are on the bus is "Light for the Deadvine" by People in Planes.
In House's Head, House is tormented by broken memories after a bus crash where he saw an unknown disease. At the very end of the episode, following a period of cardiac arrest induced by Alzheimer's medication, it is revealed that Amber was the patient he had seen die. House had been drunk at a bar and called Wilson to pick him up, but Amber was the one who answered the call and followed him onto the bus. House remains affected by memory loss due to a bus crash that has also severely injured Amber Volakis, Wilson's girlfriend. Amber is being treated at Princeton General Hospital, where the attending physician says she is experiencing tachycardia that can't be explained as a result of the bus crash.
She justified House's faith in her in "Guardian Angels" by finding the patient's correct diagnosis. Apart from her surname, which indicates a Greek heritage, little is known about Amber before showing up in The Right Stuff. She was born on September 10, 1978, according to her hospital admission bracelet in Wilson's Heart. Her medical school diploma, which is still on display in her old apartment, appears to be from the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri, one of the top medical schools in the United States. She would have also completed a residency in radiology - the use of radiological imaging in treating the disease, then a fellowship in interventional radiology. Despite her failure to obtain a fellowship position, Amber remained a potent force in the series well after her dismissal and even after her death at the end of Season 4.
At one point, in a hallucination, she appears to him and he has a long satin ribbon in his hands. Although it seems like a sexual fantasy of him tying a woman up, it has a much deeper and darker connection. Unfortunately for House, he later discovered that his best friend had started dating her.
Amber Volakis was one of the applicants for the fellowship positions that opened up in Season 4. She was first called by her assigned number, 24, and then later by her first name, she was usually referred to by Gregory House as "Cutthroat Bitch" due to her manipulative nature.
