The title of this episode of House is “Wilson,” which would lead us to assume that this episode is all about Wilson(Robert Sean Leonard). This means that this episode has great potential. Wilson is one of the best characters on the show and yet doesn’t get enough air time. Obviously, I am a fan of Wilson even if he does need to grow a spine sometimes.
Wilson has a patient, Tucker, that has been cancer free for five years since Wilson gave him the diagnosis of six months to live. They celebrate together by going hunting. After Wilson nearly gets his head blown off by an errant bullet, Tucker experiences paralysis of his arm. Wilson thinks he gets the diagnosis correct, and it’s not cancer. House (Hugh Laurie) believes it is cancer. They even make a $100 bet as to whom is right. Not surprisingly, House wins.
Meanwhile, Cuddy is searching for a house with Lucas, the private investigator that House hired last season. House isn’t a huge fan of Lucas anymore. It brings a whole new depth to the House/Cuddy drama. There is obvious sexual tension between them that neither will recognize openly. I just wish they would get it on already.
Seeing Wilson struggle is not fun. This episode that was supposed to give us more insight into Wilson just made me sad. He has so much to deal with and in the end, many of his patients die. Maybe that is why he is so weak in his own personal life as opposed to how strong he has to be in his professional life. Still, as we learn more about Wilson, my love for him will only grow stronger.
