House Spoilers: On Last Night's Episode "Wilson"

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.

House Spoilers: Lisa Edelstein on Lucas and Huddy Relationship

Michael Ausiello at EW.com was very lucky to interview Lisa Edelstein about her character Cuddy and the current love flings Lucas and Gregory House.  Below is the interview, read on.

As I understand it, this episode on Feb. 8 is like a day in the life of Cuddy, right?

 
LISA EDELSTEIN: Yes. What’s interesting about it is it lets you know what her world is like when you don’t see her. When House does what he does. You see everything she has to deal with, and you get a better understanding of where she’s coming from.

You’ve been featured heavily in House episodes before. What’s different about this one?

 
EDELSTEIN: Every other line [of dialogue] is mine. [Laughs]

You’re into the second day of shooting the episode. Tired yet?

EDELSTEIN: It’s exhausting, but  [big episodes like this don't happen] that often so I can really enjoy it. [Laughs] It’s so much fun. I love my job. It’s also fun because I get to participate a little bit more in the episode in terms of where my character’s coming from, what’s going on, if there’s a dialogue thing that I have an issue with… I get to creatively participate a little more.

How did you find out this big episode was coming your way?

EDELSTEIN: I found out a couple weeks ago. They told me, “Big Cuddy episode coming up!” And I went, “Okay!,” because I don’t always know what that means. Sometimes that means I have four scenes. [Laughs] Or I have to take my clothes off.

Or you’re making out with Hugh Laurie.

EDELSTEIN: [Laughs] Actually, in this one I kind of do all of it. There’s some sexual activity, there’s some partial nudity…  The writer, Tommy Moran, said he couldn’t imagine writing an episode without having me take a shower.

Unfortunately for Huddy fans, I hear it’s Lucas, not House, you’re taking a shower with.

EDELSTEIN: You know, we all have to go through things that we have to go through in life.  And I think Cuddy is trying to explore having a relationship that would be considered normal. I myself have done this. It doesn’t work. But you have to try. I don’t know what their future plans are for Cuddy and Lucas, but I know from my own experience that when you have really bad taste in men, sometimes you just go, “Oh, Okay, this is the guy that somebody else would date. So I’m going to see how that flies.”

Is there anything else drawing her to Lucas?

EDELSTEIN: He’s well hung.

And this is why I love interviewing you

EDELSTEIN: He’s really well hung. [Laughs]

But that can only last so long. The novelty is going to wear off.

EDELSTEIN: It’s true. The novelty wears off. And then you get a little vaginal rejuvenation and you move on. [Laughs] Thank God we’re not doing this interview on camera.

Has the cast been treating you differently this week? Are they fetching coffee for you?

EDELSTEIN: I make them hand-wash my underwear in the morning. I don’t have time to do it myself — I have lines [to memorize], people! No, Hugh has been wonderful. He left me a bouquet of flowers and a congratulations note. And one of our producers, Greg Yaitanes, did the same. My trailer looks like it’s opening night. It was really sweet. It made me feel really good. I’m really excited about it. I love that they’re giving me the opportunity to play like this and just kind of flex my muscles a little bit.

You’re getting a taste of the kind of workload Hugh has to endure every week.

EDELSTEIN: I never doubted what Hugh was going through every week. You get up at 4 a.m. on Monday, you work 14 hours every day, and you have no life basically. But it’s a hell of a lot better than working in a coal mine. I don’t think Hugh ever forgets his good fortune, and I certainly don’t.

It’s time now for the requisite Huddy question. Is there any hope for them?

EDELSTEIN: Their timing just really sucks. As soon as he was emotionally prepared to give [a relationship] a shot, she kind of gave up. But I’m rooting for them. 

When the day comes that they actually make a go of it, what else will we have to talk about?

EDELSTEIN: It’s like losing your virginity. After that, you’re just dirty. [Laughs] You’re just dirty and used.
