OK, had a different thought on that smile at the end.

What if Wilson saw Foreman's thinly veiled request for the boxing tickets for what it was (a thinly veiled request for the boxing tickets), and remembered his conversation from last week with Foreman (Continuity? Really? Maybe so...) about wanting Foreman to deal with his own issues with House instead of dumping them on Wilson? Could it be that Wilson gave Foreman the tickets deliberately for the purpose of Foreman taking House to the fight, so the two of them could build a better relationship?

That would explain the "passivity" Wilson showed in handing over the tickets, and explain the smile at the end: Wilson was happy his plan worked.

...Obviously, if that was the intent of TPTB, they did rather a crappy job of executing it, given that it took this obsessed fan over twelve hours to realize that could've been the intent. BUT STILL.

And I am more convinced than ever that, relationship-wise, House is Wilson's son. You just don't get that level of enmeshment and entitlement in a peer relationship, but parents of toddlers recognize it all too well.

Wait, wait, wait...Wilson was mean because he wanted to enjoy his gift? The hell? I don't even understand how that's supposed to work.

Oh, and just to clarify, I wasn't trying to belittle y'all's reactions or anything. I just saw it differently the first time around, but I can definitely see why people are upset, and you all make some excellent points.

I didn't think you were belittling anyone; you were just sharing a viewpoint. One which I and most of my f-list certainly want to be true!

Wilson was mean because he wanted to enjoy his gift? The hell?

Yes. House was planning to watch TV with Wilson, therefore Wilson was mean for attempting to do something else, and thus it's OK for House to bail on Wilson and go do the thing Wilson had wanted to do.

PLEASE PICTURE ME ROLLING MY EYES.
