Fill me in, please!!! SPOILERS for tonight's and upcoming eps

So of course I have to wait for the episode to come up next week, but my understanding from reading comments is that Cuddy and House had various weird dreams about their relationship and/or life after it, House couldn't stand to face his fears about Cuddy without getting back on Vicodin, Cuddy broke up with him for it, and next week's promo suggests that Depressed!House is going to jump off a building???

And what are the titles of the next two episodes? "Fall From Grace" and "The Dig"? Sounds really ominous. Unless Cuddy is just going to die really quickly from her totally unexpected and ridiculous metastatic cancer.

Ah, see, I have been struck by these aspects of their dynamic for a long time - even wrote a fic about it, A Valiant Woman. They had great chemistry, but they also seemed to bring out the worst in each other. It might have been different if Cuddy weren't his boss, but I think her need for power and his for freedom are fundamentally incompatible.

And *that* would have been a much more interesting reason to explore, and ultimately end, the onscreen relationship. Instead we have a man fearful for 14 episodes that his girlfriend will leave him, and in episode 15, she does. Missed opportunity.
