Once again, I'm in the minority. I've always seen House as a fucked up individual and his previous lashings out were within that fucked in spectrum that operates within him. This is House when he truly lets go of his emotions. For as much as Cuddy and Wilson kept pushing him to express anger, they didn't expect it to be in this way, but I've seen too many court cases in which reasonable people driven by rage do some pretty damn stupid stuff. For House, it's almost calculated. He'd seen them leave the table, he made Wilson get out of the car so he wouldn't get hurt and then he just let it all go -- in the most fucked up, childish way.

And it's good that from Cuddy's perspective this is a line that cannot be crossed. This will have repurcussions. Good. Wilson is still trying to figure it all out, but he'd already taken a bigger step toward cutting off House's Vicodin supply and he's worn down and uncertain.

As to where to go next, it's interesting that at least some of the other players have shortened contracts for next year. This leaves open the possibility that we will have several episodes of House alone, trying to exist and work things out without not just his support system but also his figurative crutches.

I don't think it's the best, nor do I think it was the worst, but I'm still wondering what happens next, which is what a season finale should do.
