From House 3.16, Top Secret:

CAMERON: (with a completely straight face) All right already, we confess. You caught us, we snuck into one of the sleep lab rooms to have sex, we shouldn't have done it while we were supposed to be working and we're sorry, now can we move on?

CHASE: *is shocked*

FOREMAN: Ahahaha!

FOREMAN: House would do Wilson before you'd do Chase. (still smiling)

CAMERON: No, you would do House AND Wilson before I do Chase. Now can we get back to work?

CHASE: (clearly horrified by the turn this discussion has taken) She did me once!

FOREMAN: She was stoned! *laughs some more*

*So* much, *so much* Duckling love in this scene. Srsly. Foreman going 'ahahaha' at the thought of Cameron sleeping with Chase. Cameron, all straight-faced and serious - demonstrating once and for all who wears the pants in the relationship. Not to mention the fact that for all Chase's adventures in BDSM, *she's* the adventerous Duckling, and not Chase. And Chase, oh Chase - his expression of hurt manly pride when he says 'She did me once'? That's it, that seals it - he's my favourite Duckling from now on. *draws hearts around him*

Also, the wink at the House/Wilson fans! And the foreshadowing of House/Wilson/Foreman, which, as plazmah pointed out, is one of THE ships in the finale!

Yes, I'm obsessively watching S3. There will be more squeeing later on.

Chase is my favourite, too. I loved the way he acted in the last episode of season 3. We'll talk about it when you've seen it ;-)

I've seen it! I'm kind of going backwards and forwards through the season. I loved him in the finale, and his wooing of Cameron, and his consistence in solving puzzles this season.

Heeeee, I love Chase the most out of all the Duckies too. :)

The finale was SO House/Wilson/Foreman. Wilson was all: "Let's all sleep work together as one big happy family." ;)

He's so easy. You *know* he'd the first one up for a pan-hospital orgy...

Omfg yes that scene was pure win. Squeeeee so hard.

SQUEE!

Chase is my favorite cottage too. He's awesome and he doesn't piss me off nearly as much as the other two. Not to mention, it is so obvious that he is mini-House, not Foreman.

I heart all the Ducklings - even Cameron, who I know isn't exactly a fan favourite. Chase used to bore me in fanfic, usually - but if my Chaselove keeps growing at this rate, I don't know. *g*

[goddesspharo.livejournal.com]

I wrote Chase!fic the other day (or at least Chase POV fic), but strangely, even though he's my favorite Duckling, I don't read much Chase!fic. In fact, I think I've only ever read one purely Chase!fic and a few Chase pairing fics...

even Cameron, who I know isn't exactly a fan favourite
I've never liked Cameron. I intensely disliked her in the first season, especially after the blackmail for date thing and she hasn't been able to win me over since then. She has moments in which she's awesome, but generally speaking, she annoys me. Thee's also the matter of the writing being all over the place for her this season. Every week, it felt like we were watching a new incarnation of Cameron so that it felt less of "Oooh, Cameron's doing something cool in Episode XYZ" and more like "Oooh, look! Cameron is channeling Cuddy/Stacy/Wilson/Steve McQueen right now because the writers have absolutely no idea which personality they want to give her!"

[swatkat24.livejournal.com]

And I've written Chase/Cuddy, but it's the same with me - I *heart* him on the show (I *just* watched 'Half-Wit', and Chase hugging House has *got* to be the best scene on the episode; the end scene being a close second), but I seldom read Chasefic. I blame it on Cuddy. Whatever fannish time I have left after paying attention to her is occupied by House and Wilson, and poor darling Chase gets no attention as a result. *g*

I actually liked the blackmail House into dating her part. I'm not sure what that says of me.

[goddesspharo.livejournal.com]

I've read your Chase/Cuddy (and was immensely amused by it). Near the end of S3, it occurred to me that Chase is a giant pool of chemistry. Essentially, Chase/anybody can work plausibly (not necessarily romantic, but definitely from a dynamics POV), which is sort of cool.

Chase hugging House has *got* to be the best scene on the episode
I absolutely agree. Obviously, I enjoyed Cuddy's reaction, but that didn't really give us new information whereas Chase's reaction to House's impending death showed us how he really felt. I'm sure there are people who would argue that this wasn't new information either, but it showed us the extent of how much he cared about House, which I thought was fabulous. It also reminded me a lot of "The Mistake" in S2. The scene on the balcony where Chase finds out that House knew about his father's cancer is oddly poignant and shows that House does care about him (yeah, House is a secret-keeper, but only when it matters and I think he kept that particular secret more to protect Chase than for Chase's dad). I also completely bought that House fired Chase in the finale because he thought that he was good enough to branch out into the big bad world of diagnostics on his own. Of the three, I think he's most qualified to spread his wings and fly.

Hey, it's cool to go against the norm. I'm sure there are others who agree with you, but since that was one of the (if not the) first ep of the show I saw, my reaction was two parts WTF and one part "HAH! House is totally gonna make her cry!"

Word.

Yes, exactly. Both Wilson and Cuddy's reactions were expected, because we *know* what they'll do for House, no matter how much of a bastard he is to them in return. But Chase... It was adorable. As was Foreman's 'I like you', and Cameron's syringe trick (a definite echo of the Cameron, I love you scene in S2). And also, I agree about House protecting Chase, and House firing him because he's the one who's most ready, and the one who's *most* unwilling to go. Chase has consistently been the smartest Duckling this season, but he clearly isn't willing to take the step - quite possibly because he isn't aware that he's ready. Hmm. I wonder if there's House/Chase that deals with this mentor/trainee aspect of their relationship?

I was very lucky to catch House on the very first day they aired it - by the time we had 'Love Hurts', I had already decided that I like Cameron. *g*

Absolutely. Though, it completely broke my heart when he told Cameron that getting this job with House was the best thing that happened to him. Then he paused and tried to convince himself that maybe getting firing was good too. Like House, Chase kind of has no one either (actually, he might be more alone since House at least has Wilson and Cuddy to bug). Parents? Dead. Friends? None that we've ever met other than the cottages and Foreman claims to hate him. Now he has Cameron, but other than that, we know absolutely nothing about what Chase does when he goes home.

Poor Chase! He's such a woobie.

Mine too. I want his relationship with Cameron to be a good thing for him, just for that. *pets w00bie Chase*

Maybe Cuddy will give him that diagnostics job she was offering Foreman next season? He certainly is the most deserving candidate. More than Foreman, who isn't ready, and who really is more like Cuddy than he is like House, jerkiness notwithstanding.
