Harsh toke, dude! Or Bleak House, as you prefer.

Actually, I'm not sure why you feel like you need to bury this one deep in your subconscious or whatever. It's a comedy, after all, so there should be a wedding, and the way you treated the analysis of House's motives was terrific. I did feel sorry for poor old Wilson, although his outing by the fellows came across as rather a good spoof of H/W fanfic.
