I suppose they could have just told Hanna 'tough luck' I'm a pretty rational person, and that was my reaction - someone go tell her she can't always get what she wants. Especially since the premise on which the show is based and which we see fulfilled time and again is that House isn't your hero in a lab coat who'll save people because he can do it. He's selfish and will only do it for patients whose condition is of interest to him. Your run-of-the-mill patient has to depend on 'ordinary' doctors and suck it up.
That hits a nerve with me, as well as every time Wilson calls House miserable and tells him he makes everyone's lives worse. It is a very odd thing to say regardless of who says it, and it also hit a nerve with me. But what House said to Cuddy hit a nerve with me too, so I could see where she was coming from, even if I didn't approve.
and then of course there was the greatest romantic line of all time I love you. I wish I didn't I wonder why that relationship didn't work out? Now that didn't surprise me either. I think we were meant to see the writing on the wall. I remember thinking about the relationship during the hiatus and coming to the conclusion that if it worked, it would only be because House could do relationships, not because Cuddy had the slightest talent or insight in that direction. But my take on the yelling was, 'Well, they've crossed the line again, but on Monday they'll go back to work and things will go back to normal.' I'll agree, however, that as foreplay it totally sucked, and I'd have felt a lot better if House had relapsed and everyone had had to think about how their behaviour contributed to the fiasco, instead of everything being bathed in a pink glow of incipient sex.
