Oooh, I like this very much. House is so high-maintenance that it's no wonder Wilson reacts the way he does. "Gal's weekend away" indeed. Loved the DPS reference--and the names of the kids, I'm sure I saw in some MSTs somewhere. :-)

He may need to be needed, but he has needs too.The undercurrent of Wilson's desperation is tight as a bowstring, waiting to snap--nice job.
