This is going to sound a bit odd, but what I liked best about this chapter was Cameron's short appearance.
That doesn't sound odd at all. Cameron's character, at least with respect to her dynamic with House, really does evolve over the course of the series, and it's fun to write her once she starts behaving more as House's caring but critical colleague than as his student.
House 'remembers' the odd fact, such as quitting treatment when Wilson and Sam got together, but apparently nothing else.
Mea culpa. He doesn't remember this, actually. There must have been additional conversations with Wilson not shown.
The chapter is slightly too explanatory for my taste.
In the conversations, or the bit about House in his apartment?
My sense of balance says that a passage with Taub belongs somewhere in here.
In theory, I agree. Taub would also have an interesting perspective on the failed marriage (although of course I didn't actually know about that when I wrote this piece). On the other hand, I still feel like Chase and Foreman are closer to House than Taub is or perhaps ever will be. I'm not sure that I see Taub taking House aside to tell him what's what, whereas Foreman has definitely done that. Conversely, I don't see House seeking Taub out to confide in him or get his advice. Anyway, he didn't demand another scene, so I didn't give him one, but I definitely see your point.
