I had to breathe a sigh of relief, because for a moment there I thought JM knew something that the audience didn't and kept thinking back to that time when Cameron showed up in House's bedroom late at night. It looks, however, that she's merely promoting the character and going along with the line of questioning that was presented to her. I sure hope that's the case as going goo-goo over House does no female character on this show any favors, imho. I'm a bit of a freak in that I think a romantic pairing with House is damn near character suicide in terms of development.

LMC will probably bop me over the head for what I'm about to say... Someone gets shot, right? He takes 13 & House hostage. What if Cuddy's already in her office? He hasn't actually "taken" her hostage...she's in the wrong place at the wrong time. Someone gets shot (brace yourself LMC :) )...what if it's Cuddy? The blurb doesn't say it's a patient who's shot. It might only be a flesh wound, not life or death kinda thing. So Cuddy shares House's office...so House can keep an eye on her? Is she having psychological issues returning to her office (whether she is or isn't shot)?; too scared to return to her office? She does trust him. She might not always like him, but she does trust him. Wilson's office is too small (oh ya...and the show's called House.) Okay, and my Huddy heart hopes he takes on a slightly protective roll in his twisted, screwed up way. Do I think this is what happens? I don't know what to think. At first, I thought this would be too over the top...especially given the kiss and House possibly losing Cuddy (we all know it wouldn't happen but...) would come too soon after Wilson & Amber. But then again, I think of some of the other storylines and think that maybe this one isn't an impossibility. So that's my opinion. It's not an impossibility.

what if it's Cuddy? The blurb doesn't say it's a patient who's shot. It might only be a flesh wound, not life or death kinda thing. It's possible, but I think they'd be promoting the hell out of something like that. They tried to keep Amber a secret because all of House's Head was about him trying to figure that particular secret out, this wouldn't be the same. Plus, again, I don't think we'd be feeling any sympathy for a guy who shot Cuddy. And if Cuddy's been shot and is in her office, I think the spoiler would have said House, 13, and Cuddy. Sorry, I know you're a Huddy and that kind of thing could be good for you, but if they go there, I'm skipping this ep.

I was adding to my post at the same time you were posting. As a Huddy fan, I actually don't want Cuddy anywhere near her office during the hostage situation. I'm more interested in seeing how she reacts on the outside. I wouldn't mind the reason that Cuddy's sharing House's office to be because she's unnerved/uncomfortable or even afraid to return to her office (and she doesn't need to be shot for that).

It will be interesting having Cuddy in House's office, because that will obviously open up opportunities for both to interfere in each other's work. I don't think Cuddy would be able to stay away from a DDX if she was that close to the action, and if she does get involved, it really would be nice for her to be right for once. And God knows what would happen when House "accidentally" destroys important paperwork. I guess this would give way to the "War of the Roses" analogy. Then again, both could come away with an even better understanding of the other's work, and how important they are to each other professionally, which could have consequences for whatever they may dealing with in their personal life (can they risk a relationship for this?).

Hmm. The "House and Cuddy share an office" plot might be interesting. I think, similar to the "House and Wilson Odd Couple" arc, this will confirm that spending that much time around House is a recipe for insanity and near-disaster. I agree with cindylouwho and think that House will continue to be himself when it comes to Cuddy and his work, and will undoubtedly make her life difficult. House never appreciates it when Cuddy is hanging over his shoulder when he's trying to do his job. I think this plot might actually help show why House and Cuddy wouldn't be able to have a successful romantic relationship, since I doubt such a close work one--constantly being around each other, constantly bickering, constantly getting into each other's business until they drive the other insane--will work very well to either of their satisfaction. But, hey, bickering, and taunting, and harassing, and maybe even some pranks between House and Cuddy? Bring it on.

Even if Cameron had an inkling of making House jealous during the FWB, the fact that they were still carrying on when House was out of sight and out of mind in Airborne suggests that particular motivation lost its shine pretty quickly. I don't think there's any reason she couldn't be enjoying her time with Chase more than she thought she would and also be keeping one eye cocked over shoulder to see if House has noticed anything. I thought the way it played out is that Cameron's feelings about Chase shifted in a more positive direction over the course of the FWB, but she didn't actually acknowledge that they had, hence dumping him instantly when he professed feelings, despite then missing very much what they had. She was conflicted over her feelings, which suggests that being bowled over by Chase was not the impetus for escalating the FWB into hospital sexcapades. And the fact that Chase brought up the motivation of Cameron hoping House would notice something twice means we were meant to wonder, too. I have to say, though, that while JMo might say this, I don't believe for one moment that Cameron would just traipse off to House without a second thought if she was still in a relationship. I hope JMo is not on the same page as the writers, too.

I've never thought that Cam started the FWB with Chase to make House jealous. It seemed to come directly out of the conversation with Foreman in which he told her she should be finding some fun in her life. She then approached Chase with an offer he couldn't refuse. I've always thought that the question of her trying to make House jealous was just a way to show Chase's insecurities. The 'House and Cuddy share an office bit' sounds like a fun idea, and I don't particularly care how they explain why it happens. I just want it to be well done and funny and I hope that it doesn't slip over into sophomoric humor.

I think she got the idea to escalate the FWB to the hospital escapades after the kiss with House. The FWB to start with took place after work hours. I've always thought that the question of her trying to make House jealous was just a way to show Chase's insecurities. Even without JMo's interview, which doesn't point at Chase's feelings being based on his insecurity, there were pointers given that Cameron's focus on the prospect of being found was on what House would think. It was ambiguous in the sense that it wasn't concretely nailed down in dialogue, but she did have three scenes where her focus was on House's reaction.

I hope JMo is not on the same page as the writers, too. I hope so too and I think that is the case. DS has said more than once that he was done with the crush storyline, so hopefully this is all just JM's hopes of HAM eventually happening. I really don't think they're going anywhere with HAM. And WORD to jair's take on the FWB arc. I saw it the same way.
