Lisa Cuddy

The episode starts.

Cuddy is like, you have to do clinic duty.

And he's like, no.

And she's like, you have to do clinic duty and teach this class.

And that's not what it really looks like.

He sees the osteo girl with her leg playing volleyball and a farmer with the prosthetic and a new dog.

Cuddy's listening to his heart and says, he's back.

I was like, how about a good old fashioned pulse check? Yeah.

I'm treating.

I'm going behind your back, Dr. Cuddy.

I'm starting the treatment.

What is this called? The wedding party? The groomsmen.

To be fair, your point about his diagnostic group is also true in universe.

House and his team are the exception because nobody wanted to actually hire House and getting a department of diagnostic medicine was one of his main things for working for Cuddy.

And she only really agreed because she was infatuated with him.

And the team does become both quite famous and notorious for their activities, even if they do solve some impossible cases.

but, uh, yeah, he's just, he's hanging out there.

He, noth- there isn't a whole lot of, like a- like I said, this is the leanest, I think, of the plots, depending how you wanna count the Cuddy main story thing.

Um, the guy, uh, it's pretty much House offering to do physician-assisted suicide via the, uh, unlocking the, um, morphine drip, uh, and the guy not really wanting to until House convinces him to leave a message for his daughter who he is estranged from.

Um, am I, I'm blanking.

[laughs] Yeah.

Um, and they find out-

And Cuddy has to do the thing where she's like, "Did you do anything to the baby? No one will be mad," which I'm like, okay.

I- fro- I think from a very young age, kids know this is gonna make my mom mad.
