- Amber Volakis, usually referred to by the other characters by her first name, was one of the final four applicants for the fellowship positions that opened up when House lost all of his Fellows. Amber was quickly identified as the most ambitious candidate when she was assigned along with nine other candidates to wash House's car while twenty others were running tests. She quickly mutinied and took eight others with her with only staying behind to do the work. However, she returned 15 minutes later to re-join Cole and took the car to a car wash.

| - Amber Volakis, usually referred to by the other characters by her first name, was one of the final four applicants for the fellowship positions that opened up when House lost all of his Fellows. Amber was quickly identified as the most ambitious candidate when she was assigned along with nine other candidates to wash House's car while twenty others were running tests. She quickly mutinied and took eight others with her with only staying behind to do the work. However, she returned 15 minutes later to re-join Cole and took the car to a car wash. It was revealed later that she was still working another job and didn't want to give notice until she had secured the fellowship position. She made it to the final ten. She secured her further employment, at least for a time, when House paged her just before he electrocuted himself into a just to prove a point. He realized Amber would be the best choice because she wanted the job the most and wouldn't let him die. She justified House's faith in her , by finding the correct diagnosis for the patient. However, she learned the full truth about working for House - when she tried to get out of a grave robbing assignment by sucking up to Cuddy and offering to do , Cuddy made it clear that whatever she was trying to get out of doing for House was only the tip of the iceberg compared to what she would have to do if she were hired. Amber's ambitious personality was easily seen by the mirror patient , when he commented that he (as her) was always right and had to be. Amber tried to laugh it off, but was taken aback when he added "If they don't like you, you gotta be right - or you're not worth anything." When House suggested that the person who stole Cuddy's thong would get to stay another week, the rest of the applicants were reluctant until they realized that Amber was going to try to do it. However, Cole succeeded in the challenge and picked Amber as one of the two people House would have to choose to fire. However, she was saved for another week when House realized that Cuddy had given her thong to Cole in an attempt to influence his choices. He fired Cole instead. However, when the endgame came up , House decided that Amber had to be the last to be fired. Although he admired Amber's ambition and her ability to play the game, her "win at all costs" attitude wasn't compatible with the job: House said that when working for him, you had to be able to lose. She drifted into the room where their patient (a drug addict she'd expressed contempt for) was recovering, saying she was trying not to care. Soon, House was sure that Wilson was not only dating someone, but was dating someone he knew. He was hurt Wilson didn't want him to know. He cornered Wilson in a fancy restaurant and was shocked when Amber showed up. Despite her dominating personality easily overshadowing Wilson's she seemed to genuinely care for him, telling House that for the first time in her life she had both love and respect and didn't have to choose. House and Amber quickly developed an adversarial relationship, bickering over 'shared custody' of Wilson. House is tormented by broken memories after a bus crash where he saw symptoms of 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 dying. 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. Amber becomes the patient , where she experiences multiple organ failures as the disease progresses. The cause is revealed to be amatadine poisoning, as her kidneys were destroyed by the crash and she was unable to process the medication she was taking for the flu. The amantadine could not be purged from her system, meaning the organ failure could not be repaired. She died in Wilson's arms as the machines were shut down. She appeared one last time in a dream House experience 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. House: "You're Dead" Amber: "[1]Everybody dies" House, in a rare crack in the armor, admitted he didn't think he was able to face Wilson or want to go back to the pain and misery of his life. Amber smiled sadly and said "Well, you can't always get what you want ." House, after a moment, nodded and walked away.
