swatkatOkay, you know what? I like Stacy. I like House/Stacy, and the fact that they can't work anymore. I think it's beautiful. And I don't care what anyone says, so there.
- Cameron being House. Bwahahaha! That was priceless. Even more priceless is that she has to explain it Foreman, 'I'm being House. It's funny.' That's just so Cameron. *hearts*
- Hmm, a lot of House/Cameron bickering in this episode. Cranking up the tension, are they? I may need to see it again before I -comment, but I actually saw more tension in the 'I love you and I'm leaving' than in this one. It's not that there *isn't* any UST between House and Cameron - there is - but I wish there was some more sparkage. Or maybe I'm just blinded by my shipping biases.
- Chase: Kitchen sink?
House: Well, we could certainly give that a – oh, you minx.
Hee.
- Sela Ward is hot.
- House steals the screen from OB/GYN. Ahahaha!
- I love the contrast between the very sleepy Ducklings and obnoxiously cheerful House, lol!
- House: [to Foreman] Check out their house. Take Sparky with you. Sparky! LOL
- Cameron: You were with House? When it happened? To his leg?
Stacy: You’re interested in him.
Cameron: We went on one date. It didn’t go very well.
Stacy: Our first date didn’t, either. I was never going to see him again. Week later I moved in. 5 years. What would you like to know?
Aww, Cameron. And it's interesting that Stacy is being genuinely nice here (she's also somewhat amused in an evil way by Cameron's 'interest' in him) - she still isn't aware that she's not over him, which is why she's so comfortable talking about him.
- Chase: Yoga’s good for picking up the ladies, too. Oh Chase, you're so pathetic! I love you, even if you bore me in fanfic.
- Hahaha, of course Stacy expected them!
- I don’t know what’s wrong with him.
This? Broke my heart. And this:It never occurred to me that you couldn’t figure out what’s wrong.
- Mark's paranoia that Stacy might leave him. Nice foreshadowing there.
You left him, and he had a limp. If I can’t walk, or hold you… But it's not as simple as that, and I would appreciate if fandom would realise that.
- Wilson sent the bear. I wuv him. ♥♥♥
- Oh, House and Wilson. House looked like he desperately needed a hug and Wilson looked like he desperately wanted to give him a hug but they're obviously too manly to do such things... I'm getting sappy, aren't I?
- I was happy. He’s my patient. I’m sure he’s a good guy, he’s probably a great guy. Probably a much better guy than I am. And some part of me wants him to die. I’m just not sure if it’s because I want to be with her or if it’s because I want her to suffer.
Dear House, pls to stop breaking my heart now. *sniff*
- The later conversation - it looks like House has achieved some sort of peace with this. He took you to Paris, that’s good enough for me. Sigh. He probably wanted to take her there.
- Is that what this is? Payback for your leg? How many times have we been over this; I saved your life. And there you have it - Stacy is never going to apologise. Because while she is sorry that she caused him so much pain, she is not sorry about her decision. She will never be.
- Because it’s crap! Because you browbeat patients, intimidate them, lie to them. If you think you’re right you don’t give a damn what they think. I did what you do all the time, the only difference is I did it to you. Ooh.
- The climax scene with House injecting Mark. So he does go ahead and do it without his consent. Hmm.
- So I’m the guy, but you want the other guy, who by definition can never be the guy. Oh, House!
- CUDDY! Did I mention that this episode has an APPALLING lack of Cuddy?
- Why would Cuddy hire Stacy? It's simple.
a.) Because Cuddy is an evil opportunist. Stacy is a good lawyer (and yes, I've seen people try to prove that she isn't, but I don't really buy that theory), Stacy has worked her before, Stacy can handle House to some extent... unlike the rest of her lawyers (we just saw one in the ep with the dominatrix. nice setup there). Her personal issues with House are not Cuddy's (the hospital's) problem.
b.) Because she thinks she can handle whatever lunacy House gets up to when Stacy starts working here. It's a part of what House calls her megalomania.
c.) Because a part of her secretly hopes that maybe House and Stacy will get those unresolved issues worked out. Little does she know that there will be even further romangst in the future.
- Is it just me or did Cuddy give House the puppy dog eyes while telling about the conditions? Bwahaha! See? Evil opportunist. I love her.
- Cameron being House. Bwahahaha! That was priceless. Even more priceless is that she has to explain it Foreman, 'I'm being House. It's funny.' That's just so Cameron. *hearts*

I ♥ Stacy. A lot.
You left him, and he had a limp. If I can’t walk, or hold you… But it's not as simple as that, and I would appreciate if fandom would realise that.
WORD. [I wonder if any of them actually picture themselves in that situation before they go mouthing off about what an evil wench she is?]
So I’m the guy, but you want the other guy, who by definition can never be the guy
That broke my little House-loving heart. :(
And even though there was an appalling (well put) lack of Cuddy, at least we got the, "I will not have sex with you! Not again! Miserable, that first time; all that desperate, administrative need...."
(apologies if it isn't right; i can't remember it verbatim :/)
^^
[If you have a chance/want to, do you think you could look over my kind of bizarre, completely grammatically incorrect fic? I'm not sure I'm entirely done with it yet, but I need some help deciding whether or not it's crap.]

People are so quick to judge the decision she made about his leg, but do they really know what they would do in a similar situation? He had already coded once...how many of us could really sit back and watch someone we love die?
I am a House/Stacy shipper (in case the icon didn't give it away!). It seems clear to me that they are still in love, even when House sends her away in "Need to Know." I am so tired of all the Stacy-bashing in the fandom, and I don't really understand why so many people don't like her. I love the dynamic between House/Stacy and I hope that at some point, maybe after House works out at least some of his issues, she'll come back and they can be together. But, then, I'm a hopeless romantic. Their whole story just breaks my heart!
Anyway, I really liked all your comments about the episode.

Exactly. I have been trying to read and comment in the 'Three Stories' thread in TWoP - it's like banging your head against a solid brick wall. 'She took away his choice. It was not her decision to make. She is evil.' But she saved his damn life! It was not the 'right' thing to do - because there was no right left here, only different kinds of wrong. It's something that I find completely forgivable *and* completely unforgivable. And I admire that she had the steel to take a decision like that, *knowing* what it would mean, *knowing* that it would be a betrayal of House's wishes.
Stacy was not always portrayed sympathetically. She is ruthless, she is manipulative, she is like House in many, many ways - I understand if someone dislikes her for that. My personal lowest point for Stacy was when she slept with House, after claiming that she doesn't sleep around. I know why she did, of course, and I can be sympathetic towards it - but it was cheating. It was a horrible thing to do. Her arc was also poorly handled. But that said, I still like her, and I wish more people would.
I love the dynamic between House/Stacy and I hope that at some point, maybe after House works out at least some of his issues, she'll come back and they can be together. But, then, I'm a hopeless romantic. Their whole story just breaks my heart!
It does break my heart, but I'm a different sort of a romantic. The ship works for me *because* it doesn't work for them anymore. It's like a Greek tragedy. Epic, star-crossed lovers? Yes, please. *g*
