CAN'T STOP THINKING

God, I love it when shows make me say that.

I have been puzzling my brain out over what could affect House and Wilson's friendship so deeply that Lisa E. would say that it's "on the line" in early Season Five.

Some of the things that would affect other friendships wouldn't affect theirs so deeply. For example, if House tried to save Amber and couldn't, Wilson would grieve, of course, but I can't see him blaming House. (If House didn't try, then yes. But that's not what it looked like in the promo.)

House having sex/making out/hitting on Amber could do it, but I don't think that happened. (For several reasons, but mostly because promo monkeys are lying liars who lie.)

My latest speculation: What if Amber dies, and House says something negative about Amber after she's dead? Something that may be true, but Wilson does NOT want to hear it and thinks House is an irredeemable asshole for insisting on telling Wilson the truth during Wilson's grief, when it would've been kinder to not sully Wilson's happy memories. That I could see coming between them.

megami_selene has the best idea, which I'm going to assume is true unless shown otherwise: "I think that House will risk his life for Amber, and it will come down to Wilson having to decide between them. And we all know who he will pick. :) That could cause a rift in the friendship. Wilson feeling guilty, and House not appreciating what Wilson did, or even angry that he made that decision."

Not only is that them to a tee, it also fits the title "Wilson's Heart" so well. In "House's Head" his head got "broken" AND we got to see inside his head. If megami_selene is right, Wilson's heart will be broken and we'll get to see inside it through the decision he makes.

xaipw just reminded me: WTF House drinking champagne?

It is, more or less: I have to argue about the strong homosocial bond between the two of them. Which...is kind of right there in the text, really.
