Tonight's Episode

Well. I think that was one of the most well-rounded episodes in a while, but I'm not sure how I feel about the ending. House chooses happiness? House tries to choose happiness? House thinks he's choosing happiness yet mislabels the particular ladybit he's resting his head on?*

Great banter all around. Interesting sidestory with Foreman and Taub as roommates.

WONDERFUL scene with House analyzing the single Vicodin tablet.

Finally more than three seconds of Wilson, and YAY for taking away House's keys. I'm fanwanking that he drove House to Cuddy's place, because I simply can't imagine House walking X number of miles in the rain.

I'm sure there's more but we're making dinner.


*Vaginas are inside the body. House would've been resting his head on the ... outer bits. Labia majora? *g*

This.

Someone on HHoW mentioned how House always throws himself into whatever he's interested in 100%, like when he took that cooking class with Wilson and ended up as some kind of Super Chef, until he got bored with it because he felt he'd mastered it. I think he might do the same thing with Cuddy -- buy a ring, ask her to marry him, the whole nine hundred yards. The difficulty's going to come when he sits down, looks at what he has, and ... it's not enough for him.

And of course it's not just about him this time, it's about Cuddy and about little Rachel (kids get harder to take care of as they get older, not easier!) and now his patients.
Love isn't always enough.
(I'm watching now and his wife is pregnant. ANOTHER BABY WITH A DEAD PARENT.)

Heh, when the wife said she had something to tell him, I said she'd gotten a job and Mr. N said she was pregnant.

I totally called the "SHE'S PREGNANT" when the whole "I have a secret" thing came up.

Which made it extra sad that the guy died. But I'm glad it isn't always the last-minute miracle cure, that sometimes it really is too late once they figure it out.

it's not enough for him.

And it won't be. He wants what he has, and wants to keep what he has, and yet and yet and yet. It's not in him to be content, and I think Cuddy needs someone who can be content. Rachel will need someone who can be content. And House is never going to be, and perhaps when he realizes that, he'll get all Noble!House like he did with Stacy and he'll end it. Not because he doesn't love Cuddy, but ironically because he does.

Yes. He can't ... rest. He's like Pascal's man, who can't sit quietly in a chair in an empty room, and both good and bad will come of it.
