I thought chase agreed to run the test to piss off house, and prove him wrong if she turned out to be right. Yes, but why? Pissing off House I could see as residual anger over being fired and just doing something now that he's not working for House. But, why would he want to prove House wrong? House's being wrong or right about anything hadn't been an issue with the firing, and I can't think of any other issue Chase would have with House where proving him wrong would be something he particularly wanted. Anyway, they've dropped hints like that about Chase before, that he has less than decent motives -also Cameron assuming that he wanted to interfere with Foreman's interview last season- for his actions. And, his reaction has been either surprise and hurt when it was someone he cared about (Cameron) or just annoyance (Amber). So, I wonder if it's not just what other people think. And, even if it is, again, what about proving him wrong would be desirable?

Someone posted these thoughts on LJ, and I had to share it with you guys: To make their love even more legit but sadder, when CT was questioning House on his choice of paging her she realized he paged someone who would revive him and not leave, like wilson did :( when he OD. After she brought it up and said something like you have nobody who cares? he left her. He is still upset at Wilson for leaving him but he wants Wilson to care and does care hence the "I love you." it all maes sense!!! I hope it made sense to you all, I didn't reread this or proofread!! :( :(

And then I loved when bitch-o (Thirteen?) was like 'Why'd you call me?' and House's explanation was: "If I pooped my pants in front of Wilson, I would never live it down." It wasn't 13, it was Amber. I know it's been brought up but I also think that House maybe wanted to spare Wilson being the one to find him like that and I mean it in all seriousness, none of that "well that's because he would've left him there" jokes. I know you're all thinking it. I'm not so sure if Wilson would have survived finding House near death again. and yes, he would have left him on the floor :wink:

He is still upset at Wilson for leaving him but he wants Wilson to care and does care hence the "I love you." If you look at it that way then poor House. I'm not so sure if Wilson would have survived finding House near death again. ITA, I think his new contentness is a delicate thing right now and I don't want it crashing down, the boy's been through enough. and yes, he would have left him on the floor Oh gg :wink:

Bessie Mae, IMO Chase may have answered the question himself in the follow up scene with House - its not about pissing off House, its about someone having the respect to ask Chase politely. Amber coated it in her manipulation, but Chase cut through that & saw what was fundamentaly going on - there was a possiblity that the patient was being put at risk, both by House's games and Amber's. Amber at least had the sense & courtesy to figure out a legitimate way to tackle the issue, no matter what her motives, rather than trying to sneak into the lab herself. And she did go to Cameron to ask her advice and Chase clearly knew about this & the concerns it raised with Cameron. So asked in a reasonable fashion he will help. And he tells House he'll do exactly the same thing for him. I don't think its about Chase getting pissed or getting back, its about expecting the respect he is due from his peers, most of all House. Incidentally, did the Kal Penn asking Chase for help scene get cut or is that from a different ep?

Casual Wilson is always a plus and he looked so gorgeous and he was sitting by House's bedside in casual clothes, which means he was keeping vigil after work. I knew as soon as House woke up, he'd call him an idiot. Loved it all and his begrudging, head nodding acceptance of House's I love you, like, yeah I know. No worries about pain meds being in the mix. Don't matter why he loves him, I can think of lots of reasons, just that he does. And Wilson quoting My Fair Lady? So gay. I love him.I don't mean to be a dope but I couldn't figure out why he was quoting that there. Anyone enlighten me? BTW, just beacuse Wilson was raised Jewish doesn't mean he automatically accepts it now. Lots of peope are raised religious and then reject some or all of the teachings as adults One thing though - I kinda felt like it was a possibility that the PotW didn't take the pills on purpose. He said that he was tired of being stuck in that body in pain and he'd rather just let it be over. Maybe he tossed them on the floor when 13 was getting him water and the dog got them. Doggies do tend to snarf whatever they find. I was rewatching on the way back to the I love you :D ... It looked like 13 put the pill cup on his food tray then as the two guy Drs. came in while she was getting the water, she put the water on the tray and left, without being sure he took the pills, probably afraid to draw attention to the meds. The guys start talking to the patient about what they wanted to do and carrying him off to the bathroom. That left the dog, and the food tray with the pill cup on it unattended, maybe the dog got bored or hungy and the patient with all the activity around him just forgot. Cuddy's ass. When there's a full moon out everyone always looks. :w00t: But apart from that and the pretty cleavage she just seems to be flailing and ineffectual these days. I'm losing her sense of purpose other than as predictable eye candy, that makes me sad. I liked all the newbies tonight. And Chase!

That could be. So, I wonder if there will be a time when House does need Chase to help him. But, I'll take any excuse for a House and Chase scene. They play off each other so well.

As much as I hated Wilson leaving at the end of Merry Little Christmas, he did see that House had vomited up the pills and was basically out of danger. No way would Wilson had left a technically dead House lying on the floor. I do agree that House just did not want Wilson discover him, anymore than he would let his mother discover him like that. Anyone else, OTOH, is fair game. I have no doubt that the "I love you" was written as a joke re: Wilson upping the meds. But the brilliance of HL is that he played it sincere, and made it so much more (RSL's reaction was pitch perfect as well).

That could be. So, I wonder if there will be a time when House does need Chase to help him. But, I'll take any excuse for a House and Chase scene. They play off each other so well. IMO that's coming (speculation for the purposes of this thread) & would be a good way to continue to develop the exploration of their relationship. I don't mean to be a dope but I couldn't figure out why he was quoting that there. Anyone enlighten me? It was something completely nonsensical to prove that House wasn't listening to anything Wilson was saying but was just rambling to himself (which he was). It was just particularly funny that he picked My Fair Lady to quote (playing Pickering to Higgins? or Higgins to his Eliza?)

Yeah, I say "blah blah Ginger" in such situations. Okay, think of the three times we've seen House say "I love you". To Stacy as he was near death in 'Three Stories', to his mother on the phone in 'Daddy's Boy' (he did say it, right? or am I remembering wrong?), and to Cameron in 'Need to Know'. Now, which is the closest match to this time?

Yeah, I think those are the only times.

I wasn't sure if I missed something other than the Musical Theatre loving connection. Maybe he should have gone w/ "In Hartford, Hereford, and Hampshire...Hurricanes hardly happen. too obscure? :wink:

Okay, think of the three times we've seen House say "I love you". To Stacy as he was near death in 'Three Stories', I think this comes the closest. House was in a similar position - hospital bed, recovering from near death experience and who is keeping vigil? Wilson. Not Cuddy, not any of the others. Wilson was in the Stacy role.

I meant the closest in the way House spoke and looked at the person.

So much to absorb (and had to take a Vicodin tonight because they took out my sutures today, so my House sense is operating madly). I'm really peeved with the knife in the socket moment. Yes, they referenced prior tangles with death, but that wasn't enough. House has ruled on the matter before (especially in Three Stories) and that should have been enough. I'm not an H/W person (except on the friendship side), but even I loved the "I love you" line. So Foreman ends up falling on his face because he got away from House to avoid becoming him...and instead became a pale imitation. Who didn't see that coming? I actually like 13 (way better than Cutthroat Bitch, who I would have canned in 5 seconds), though if you compare her scene in the morgue with the one, say, in Forever with Chase and the dead baby, she just doesn't elicit a real emotional response. And killing the dog...still upset over that. I have to admit, though, that this was the first patient I've felt for in a long while. Still, I think it says something about the newbies that the scene that will forever stick in my memory from this ep is the Chase/House scene in the lobby. My wombat is so grown up (and should be running the diagnostic group--boy, did he ever peg Cutthroat Bitch--that Foreman turned down, but then that would make Cuddy a competent administrator and actual logical sense...can't have that).
