flywomanThings that I liked a lot:
Cuddy beating House at his own game when he tries to weasel out of dinner
House realizing that dinner with her mother is something that Cuddy actually needs from him - and manning up
Wilson's faces while Cuddy's mom is disparaging her parenting skills etc.
Wilson's realization that he is about to join Cuddy's mom in dreamland
House dimpling while he and Cuddy are doing the dishes together
"Well, my chances of sex are considerably lower with Wilson."
(Don't be so sure! He's alone and vulnerable right now. It's the perfect time for you to make a move.)
Taub finally asking his wife for a divorce when he realizes that he's only going to keep disappointing her
House giving Cuddy an extra vial of sedatives with a ribbon wrapped around it in case her mother returns
House finally getting some alone-time in t-shirt and pajama pants, enjoying his Scotch while someone else's family bickers in the background
You know, I have to say that this was the first episode this season in which I didn't mind seeing House and Cuddy together. It was like old times - they seemed to be having fun together, trying to trick each other (hilarious) but then uniting against a common enemy, enjoying each other's company instead of making it look like they were just using each other for sex...
Which means, of course, that they are definitely going to be broken up before too much longer.

Date: 2011-01-26 05:49 am (UTC)Yeah, but when Wilson needed a shoulder to 'cry' on after Sam left him, House was not willing to even talk with him because he was more concerned about getting laid than the well-being of the man who is supposedly his best friend. And House has been doing a load of crap for Cuddy because she wants him too, not because she needs him too. And what, pray tell has she sacrificed or done for House (besides the sex) in return?

Cuddy gave up Lucas and the dream of a "normal" life that apparently her family has been trying to push her towards. I wonder if while her father was alive, he helped moderate that push from her mother. Perhaps he was more supportive of Cuddy's choices.

House has never been a great friend to Wilson. I think that is a fanfiction myth. But he does step in at the last moment to do the right thing. Unfortunately he lets it get to the last moment with Wilson, then he suddenly realizes that Wilson needs him (and not just wants something from him) and he does what he needs to. I hope that happens again because if it did, I would finally give this show some continuity props.
