Of course the PoTW was a plot point, because he wasn't the story. Wilson was.
The only way I could make any sense of what happened is that he’s being a passive-aggressive son of a bitch.
Sure, it was passive-aggressive. But obviously I saw it way different than you did. I thought Wilson rocked. He was a master manipulator in the ep. All he did was let House and Amber's natural tendencies work against them, while he sat back and enjoyed the fireworks. (How many times was he shown just watching and eating chips?) House himself said back in S1, that Wilson was not as nice as he seemed. So did Cate in "Frozen" this season. This ep we got to see what he was capable of.
Do you really believe that House would be making nice with Amber and cleaning up poop, while Wilson stands by looking amused?
Yes, I do. (Maybe not the making nice part.) Because House and Amber were hoist by their own petard. They brought it on themselves. Why can't Wilson enjoy getting his own back?
As much as I love the H/W angst, I also love the H/W humor, which comes out of them pushing each other's buttons. (Er.) Wilson's just as sneaky as House is--maybe more, because it's all subterfuge. And he can get away with it, because he's so nice. Maybe it's just me, but I don't know how the H/W humor was "fanservice."
Maybe it's just that we don't know what Wilson really wants. What is the end game of manipulating Amber and Wilson? I said at the end of "Don't Ever Change," that Amber was now Julie and we know how well that worked out.
I don't think it's just my slash-glasses talking here. If Wilson really wants a happy relationship, he wouldn't let House do this shit, but then he wouldn't House's Wilson.
And maybe he isn't, which is why the betrayal really seemed to sting and wasn't "fun" at all.
The stuff that I'd call fanservice would be the "negotiation" scenes and the bar scene. It's all so very "almost" gay without coming out and giving us the real relationship.
