You nailed exactly what made Cuddy's revenge (and the history of House torture on this show) so uncomfortable to me, although I'm still not happy with her stooping to his level.
Oh, I'm not happy that she did it (it was awful and mean, and just because I heart her doesn't mean she gets to do things like this), but it made sense, character-wise, and it was actually handled very well. It makes sense that she's capable of this - that's one of the many reasons why they've been friends this long. I was expecting far worse, having read some episode responses before watching (I should stop doing that, I know).
We agree on Foreman. Not so much on Taub, because he's really grown on me and I heart him with his wife. I'd love a nice Kutner plot, though!
