Ok, thanks for the info. So House was just as focused on the folks he was there to help as she was. Nice.
I still think it was a cruel thing to say, as was dragging Wilson's name into their fight. At that point she's kicking House while he's down--she has what she claims to want, after all, and House doesn't. I don't think the fight was really about Hannah. I think Hannah sparked it but it was really about the two of them, and maybe that's why I'm far less tolerant here than you are.
Also, this: It wasn't nice, but it isn't nice either when House does that to his team or to patients and their families.
But House gets a lot of (well-earned) crap for doing stuff like that. He's manipulative and mean to people, and he gets called on it repeatedly by everyone around him. If Cuddy is doing the same thing here, then IMO she deserves the same reaction. One of the things that bugs me in general about her character is that she basically never does. Most characters on the show never told her or reacted to her when she was being difficult or selfish or mean, whereas House heard it frequently. Now that's not Cuddy's fault at all, but it hits my buttons anyway and I --unfairly, I admit--think less of her for it.
