I love the idea that Nolan invites Cuddy to visit House in Mayfield, and that he persuades her to do so firstly by sharing the broad lines of his hallucination - which *has* to have encouraged her to forgive him - and then, when she is still resisting, by reminding her that Rachel wants House to recover, and that Milo is a part of House's recovery process.
I also was touched by the conversation between Nolan and House: Nolan is optimistic, positive, supportive; House is still desperately unsure that he can make anything of his life.
And Cuddy's visit to Mayfield is touching: she gets insight into what his life is like now, how grim things are, how diminished he feels. If nothing else, it has to give her insight into how he sees himself, rather than how she sees him (I still, always, think about the line in 'The Intervention': "I wish you could see yourself as others see you. I think it would help with your recovery").
But their TEXTING relationship is priceless; they get each other, and it has to be hard for Cuddy to never initiate the conversation. (And 'limping up a small hill' was HILARIOUS.)
But NOW I am excited...the idea that House would challenge himself to be the person that she could lean on: he will NOT find that easy,but if he succeeds....
