Episode reaction

[deelaundry]

A ha! Realizations about my reaction to tonight's episode :

- How the hell was that a "devious" way to win back Wilson? House didn't do anything to win back Wilson. And there was no planning.

- Why is Lucas going to be "hot on Wilson's trail" next episode, if Wilson made the decision to come back this episode?

- The lie about Amber buying Wilson that keychain was entirely stupid because the sympathy card does not work with House. Wilson knows this. Reflexive guilt-trip lying?

- Why was House arrested? He didn't do anything wrong.

- The assumption Wilson made that House bailed him out because House "cared" is not necessarily true. It's entirely possible House just found a guy who carried around an envelope but wouldn't open it interestingly repressed. It could've been pure boredom that led House to bail him out. Why would Wilson think it better if House cared about a total stranger than if House found a total stranger interesting? It's everything after that that counts.

- And "everything after that" was the reason Wilson gave for leaving, but he said he's coming back because House is fun. So... nothing's changed? House can continue to act the way he's always acted, and it's OK by Wilson? ETA: And Wilson's going to keep on lying and trying to manipulate House instead of being straightforward about his own needs, and that's OK too?

- No flashbacks! Curse you, Washington Post, for saying there would be.

- We ain't never getting a hug. Wilson's pat on House's shoulder, and House's looming over Wilson's are going to be as close as we get. D:<

- Wilson was gorgeous this ep. He looked like a wee puppy when he was trying to talk the cop into letting him go.

I think I need to watch it again.

PS. Hee, hee. Bizarre little thing I predicted in a fanfic: Wilson's trunk o' preparedness!

I had a thought this morning that House would introduce Wilson to his father's military peers as "my special friend," which would be technically true but raise all kinds of eyebrows. Hee.

Wilson was very cute this episode, and House had some good smiles. But I wanted a hug, dang it!

PS. Added more thoughts on the ep above.

That WOULD have been awesome. But still - they came as a couple and Wilson went up to whisper in House's ear and pat him on the shoulder at his Dad's coffin (LOL - "put it back") - wonder how that looked to everyone. >:D

They were ADORABLE. Wilson's little smile at the end made me just melt.

I still want a kiss!!!

They were such a married couple on the roadtrip.

I want a kiss too.

And they were very married couple on the roadtrip. Tough times and good times.

I just wish they'd talked about the issues Wilson cited when he walked away. Now it's just: "You're right, House; you're fun. So I'm back." So, Wilson's comments weren't justified? They were just a cover or a lie, and House doesn't need to change anything?

And Wilson's going to keep on lying and trying to manipulate House instead of being straightforward about his own needs, and that's OK too?

Boy, I'm Debbie Downer. Sorry.

I DO WANT A KISS. OH YES.

You're not a Debbie Downer! You're a realist. I'm still riding on candy-colored unicorn rainbow clouds after the episode. JOY.

I felt like the funeral was a watershed moment, and somehow they both realized that they really care about each other but no longer need to trick each other to get the other one to show it. Which doesn't mean they won't - it just felt like the air was cleared, and they accept that they like some of each other's shortcomings.

IDK, I am too happy to analyze deeply.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who watched Wilson go up to House at the coffin (definitely lol at 'put it back') and wondered what the assembled guests (particularly the military folk) would think XD

If we can't have a hug then I think we deserve a kiss.
