For "House" fans who weren't able to see last night's episode or who were taken away from your TV, Tucker (patient-of-the-week) was saved by his friend, Dr. James Wilson.
Every diagnoses they made only pointed to cancer as the main culprit. Though Wilson believed at first that Tucker (Joshua Malina) had a non-cancer-related symptom, House insisted that it is. It turned out that House was right. They even placed a $100 bet on this. =) Wilson did what every oncologist would do, to advise his patient to undergo chemotherapy. The result, was no good because Tucker still couldn't move his arms. But what was good is that his family stood by him. On Wilson's advise, Tucker's family chose another dose of chemotherapy for treatment. After medication, Tucker can move his arms again and the cancer cells went away. But it doesn't end there. We all know that in any action, there is always an equal and opposite reaction. Tucker's body didn't respond well that he needs a liver transplant. When no organ donor was available and they were running out of time, Wilson considered to donate a portion of his liver to give in to Tucker's request. Of course, the guilt of giving Tucker a double dose of chemo and wanting to really help his friend, Wilson did the "unthinkable". Shocking, eh? After the operation, Tucker was out with his other woman and he was healthy again. He told Wilson that when he is about to die, he wanted his family to be with him. But, when he is alive, he realized that he wants to be with his other woman. This definitely made Wilson disappointed and Tucker a real "self-important jerk", as House commented. While Wilson was treating his patients, the issue about Cuddy and Lucas getting their own place was bothering both him and House. In the end, Wilson feels Cuddy should be punished for hurting House. So he called the realtor and outbid Cuddy in the loft that she's about to take. This is really something which puts excitement in this season's coming episodes. .
Three things here. One, Wilson has a mind of his own. Call him stupid, selfless, kind, submissive to Cuddy's whims, but he is mature and responsible enough to make decisions that may be sound and reasonable for others. I'm not saying that he did the right thing because from my opinion, he could have waited for another liver donor. What I'm saying is he cannot be told what to do and not what to do. Second, he's unpredictable now, which before we can't see that he is. And lastly, he has balanced both goodness and evil which most of us can't. He clearly knows when to be good and when to strike. He clearly puts his patients first, but he also has his limits when his friend is hurt. I strongly feel we will see more of Hilson, rather than the Huddy relationship.
What do you think of last night's episode? Please let me know your thoughts at your end. Your comments and feelings are highly appreciated.
