Reality is Almost Always Wrong: Spoiler Discussion Thread

If episode 7 airs on the 11th, then episodes 8 and 9 will air on the 18th and 25th - well within Sweeps territory, I would think.

I also hope that in Joy that House (or Wilson or maybe even Cameron) takes over for most of Cuddy's attending duties when dealing with the mother. Actually it would be nice if it were Cameron. I mean, it's one thing to deal with a difficult case, but when that difficult case directly impacts the future of your employer -- no pressure, right? I would love to see Cam step up. I'd love to see Cameron do it too but there's no Cameron in any of the promo pictures for the episode. If it's anyone, it will be House. Or Thirteen. :( Wilson's an oncologist so it's not his area of medicine. But Cuddy was on the case in Humpty Dumpty and Fetal Position, both times she should have stepped out, so she'll probably stay on here too.

Peter Blake also wrote or co-wrote Maternity, Cursed, Babies and Bathwater, The Mistake, Safe, Fools for Love, and Alone...and also, Whatever It Takes. Well, nobody can bat a thousand. :lol: David Hoselton's not actually listed for anything yet this year, but we don't know all the writers for what's coming up. (And while he wrote Airborne and NMNNG - where yes, Chase had one good scene, but spent the second acting like a total jerk - he also wrote Guardian Angels, where Cameron certainly didn't get hosed.) And hey, they could always be cowriting... I'm wondering if the PI still being on Wilson's tail reinserts the wedge between them a little. Wilson would probably not appreciate that level of stalking - I mean, the guy snooped around Cuddy's office, but he bugged Wilson's house and infiltrated his support group. Not as major as what's happened with Amber, but just in general Wilson shouldn't be able to go back to everything as it always was. I had to grit my teeth every time Lucas was on screen, so I will not be missing him at all. Dude sets off my smarm alarm like crazy. Didn't Olivia Wilde say that there would be several H/W make-up attempts? I don't think we've seen the end of it. Well at least I hope not because dying really does change everything. Lucas' last episode is Lucky 13 (505). I just want to know if anyone knows if Wilson will be in Eppy 6, 7, 8, or 9. I plan to skip the ones he's not in. I'm thinking Wilson won't be in the Huddy kissing eppy (506) but maybe he'll get at least 10 seconds in the others.

I'm wondering if the PI still being on Wilson's tail reinserts the wedge between them a little. Wilson would probably not appreciate that level of stalking My best case scenerio is House planning something for Wilson or for both him and Wilson and he needs info. to pull it off. What that something could possibly be, I have no idea. My worst case scenerio is House still being extremely terrified of losing Wilson again so he's keeping tabs on him at all times out of paranoia. I don't think Wilson would appreciate that and while I'm all for seeing them slowly moving forward I don't want another post-Tritter where is was one step forward and two steps back until TPTB decide they're tired of it and drop it altogether.

I'm thinking Wilson won't be in the Huddy kissing eppy (506) but maybe he'll get at least 10 seconds in the others. If Joy is Fetal Position part two, I don't expect much of him, if he's there at all. I do still want a scene with him and Cuddy though. I doubt he shows up for the Chase and Cameron show, unless House doesn't have much to do with the case so he's just hanging out with Wilson. *sighs* Do you see how jaded AE has made me? I really hope he's in the hostage episode. I think this could be a wonderful opportunity to involve every one of the characters in a believable way. That's one of the things I love about hostage episodes on other shows, everyone has something to do. They're either held hostage or they have ties to someone being held hostage. I really hope no one is missing from that episode.

I've been wondering about the boys not really being fully back together (since I read that article) and I'm thinking that Wilson's sort of had his blow up. Well, a reverse blow up really...House voiced Wilson's concerns for him. Wilson was confronted with his fear of losing House. BUT...House hasn't had his blow up yet...he hasn't faced his fears/dealt with his own grief. I think House will have his moment too, before the boys are really back together again. I wonder if Wilson will tell him, like House told Wilson, and how this devious plan fits in (though I expect the devious plan was the PI...I'm not sure there's another devious plan out there, but who knows...House may very well have orchestrated the hostage situation for all I know).

I guess I don't understand why you all think Wilson won't be in the upcoming episodes. He just told House that he's coming back to work. The only reason he wasn't in epi 5.03 is that he wasn't working at PPTH and House had apparently decided to give Wilson some space, give Wilson a chance to miss him. (And the show had to build some dramatic tension, make us really feel Wilson's absence from House's life.) Since he's coming back to work, I am operating under the theory that he'll be in the upcoming episodes.

I guess I don't understand why you all think Wilson won't be in the upcoming episodes. I believe you're right but the pessimist in me must see the worst outcome. RSL said in a little Q&A blurb that he got to go home for a while during the rift, which I assume meant not being in AE and having a teeny tiny scene in NC, I expect all that to be over now that House and Wilson have turned a corner. I think he'll be in the upcoming episodes because there no longer is any reason that he shouldn't be. I'm just preparing myself for disappointment. AE really depressed me. :cry:

Well Cameron and Chase have been at PPTH since their return in S4 and we saw very little of them. I'm just thinking the TPTB may do the same with my baby Wilson. Also, the writers are trying to tell a lot of character stories so there's a possibility Wilson may not be in other episodes. I just want to know so I can plan accordingly. I was so upset when Wilson wasn't AE. I just don't want to go through that again.

I was so upset when Wilson wasn't AE. I just don't want to go through that again. That would be implying that Wilson and Chase & Cam have similar relationships to House. If anything, this arc reinforces how important Wilson is to the character of House and to the story of House. This is not to say that there won't be episodes where Wilson won't be the number one factor, but there is no reason why he shouldn't be in a story

Exactly, chippers. Wilson is at a different level from Chase and Cameron. I love Chase, but I fully acknowledge that he does not have the same relationship with House as Wilson has. Wilson has not quit House's team, he quit PPTH for a while, but he's coming back in full force in his old position. Nobody has replaced him as head of oncology, and nobody has replaced him as House's best friend.

I definately agree that Wilson is on a whole different level than CC are, I remember before S4 aired I was terrified Wilson's already minimal screentime would become near nonexistent and I was pleasantly surprised when that didn't happen. If it weren't for this rift they're getting over, nobody would be doubting Wilson's appearance in upcoming episodes, we probably wouldn't even think about it. We know they're still dealing with it to some extent in Lucky Thirteen but after that, it's going to die down because this is an arc and arcs have to end sometime. But that doesn't mean Wilson will just disappear once they finally completely put this behind them, it just means that the major focus on their relationship will ease up and switch to someone else. But Wilson is still going to be House's best friend. Just as Cuddy has still been there for House and had some nice moments with him during this H/W arc, I believe Wilson will still be there for House while Huddy plays out, however it does. Plus, HL said that if House and Wilson can get through this period that their bond will be stronger than ever, since he knows more about upcoming episodes than we do, I choose to trust him on this. I am looking forward to next week for the H/W stuff. I'm curious about how the H/Cu kiss will play out in Joy (even though I really don't want to see hysterical Cuddy again) and I'm looking forward to the C/C episode because I want to see where their relationship is at. And I think the hostage episode has great potential.

I had a thunk... So in Not Cancer, Cuddy asked House if he wanted to treat or prove he was right. He responded to treat, because chemo wasn't killing anything...that it was just hiding the real problem and that the patient would crash and that if they waited until the patient did crash, it might be too late. So Cuddy asks him what the next step was, deducing that he would do something to make her crash. Oh I can so see the parallels with the POTW and the House/Wilson relationship (whether you wear slash goggles or not). What if House feels Wilson hasn't crashed yet, that his moving away is hiding the real problem? He hasn't crashed, not really. He's run away, but if the two haven't talked in the two months since the accident (except for the small bits we've seen in the first two episodes), then he hasn't dealt with the situation. If House thinks that Wilson needs to crash before it's too late (for their friendship)...maybe he will cause Wilson to crash, make Wilson face reality instead of run from it. I'm thinking the scene where Wilson is throwing something, and the arrest are because House is trying to make Wilson break down, to expose the real problem (Wilson's feelings/grief/anger/etc.) and then help to rebuild the relationship from scratch. Cancer, Not Cancer...Wilson's left House, but he hasn't left House. ETA: And meant to add that the bit about the boy calling wolf (towards the end where he kept caling the nurse back in), he says that no matter how many times the boy cries, the mom's going to come running. I think House knows that Wilson will eventually come running, should he need him. This is what happens when I've had entirely too much caffeine in any one 24 hour time period, lol. I wrote this way back in September. All I have to say is I SO TOTALLY CALLED IT! House was definitely pushing Wilson to the point of breaking with his "Admit it, admit it..." and Wilson came back when House needed him.

And I think the hostage episode has great potential. Thank you :) :) :) Now I just need to see some spoilers that reinforce that. Cuddy was sort of toned down in Birthmarks which was nice. I also hope you're right about some H/W while the Huddy plays out. I don't think House and Wilson have even come close to resolving their feelings for each other. House thinks he's the person Wilson cares about the most. Now that is totally and completely deep. I never ever tire of House/Wilson. I am truly obsessed :cry:

The only reason I'm not expecting Wilson to be back in all of the upcoming episodes after he returns to PPTH, isn't because of the rift arc, but because that's how it used to be... right? Some episodes had a lot of Wilson, some had a small few minute scene, and didn't some not have him at all? Even though he was at the hospital, just wasn't needed for the story being featured in the show at the moment? I've just gotten so used to him, and fallen more in love with him because of the arc rift- I think I will notice him missing more then I would have before the Amber and then House rift arcs.. and I have a feeling thats what other people are going to go through also. We've been getting a H/W overdose and now we need to realize that he hasn't been in every single episode since the show started. I could be putting my foot in my mouth though, if he has been in every episode.. (other then the wilson-less one this season) I could have sworn he hasn't though. Also, I just want to say, I just figured out Joy is airing on my 21st birthday..... I just hope I really like the Huddy kiss or something else birthday present-worthy happens for me haha! If my birthay had been yesterday with Birthmarks, I could have died of happiness right then and there.

I could be putting my foot in my mouth though, if he has been in every episode.. (other then the wilson-less one this season) I could have sworn he hasn't though Sorry, aside from AE this year, Wilson has been in every single episode. Obviously not always the featured star, but he's always been there. In S3 there were three episodes where he and House had no interaction but he was still in the episodes. If they're going back to normal, than Wilson should get at least one scene per episode...at the very least. Now I just need to see some spoilers that reinforce that. Well, I don't know how many spoilers we'll get about it since it's not going to be the featured arc for much longer. They spoil the main plot and sometimes we get lucky and get spoiled on some cute little moments. I mean there were no Wilson spoilers for Ugly, for example, and I thought that episode had great H/W friendship interactions. Same with YDWTK, I know that's a pretty universally hated episode but I liked it and I liked Wilson's scenes in it, even though there were only two, we got House and Wilson having fun and then Wilson worried about House, so I was happy with his time there.
