House Episode 5.14 The Greater Good
After last week's dreadful episode, I was worried; thank goodness the House I know in love is back...and I am positive that there are intentional shades of House/Stacy being referenced!

I too, liked how this episode sparked some good ethical questions like it used to. I'm beginning to get tired of the love drama because what I love most about House is the ethical questions it raises. I love the show's smarts and am glad it returned in the last episode.
In your entry you bring up the theme of happiness vs. the greater good and I guess I never really thought about it in this way. I think that you bring up a good idea. I think House has slowly started to realize, throughout the seasons, the reasons why Stacy made the infarction decision. I really liked how he gave Foreman and Thirteen advice on their issue because when he is giving advice it shows that he has thought about why Stacy chose the decision she did. He has started to realize and probably slowly started to put closure on the situation knowing that, in the end, Stacy was only trying to help House and his happiness. She did this knowing that their relationship would most likely not be salvaged. To me, making that decision, from Stacy's perspective is probably one of the hardest one can make. She had to give up the one person she loved so that he could be happy and hopefully have an affect on others. She sacrificed the most important thing in her life, House. And yes, maybe it was jealous of her to make that decision without asking him, but we all know that if she had mentioned it to him, he would never had gone into a coma because he would have known that she would do it as soon as he was out.
Anyways, aside from the Foreman/Thirteen/House/Stacy stuff, I liked the Wilson moments with the cup. I think it was very sentimental and I'm also glad that the writers haven't swept Amber under the rug. I'm happy that at the end he finally washed the cup, signifying that he was taking one small step in moving on with his life.
The Cuddy stuff for me was too random and out of character. I think it was kinda pointless but whatever. The characterization of Cuddy this season hasn't been that great.
Oh and the Chase/Cameron thing. I wish the writers would use their genius to somehow involve or create a good plot line for these two. I hate to see them shafted and I would never want to see them leave. I know they don't serve any real significance anymore but they hold too much sentimental value for me since they've been on the show since day one.
Anyways, I hope my thoughts made some kind of coherent sense since I just spilled them in this comment. :)

Yes, yes, and yes! I had temporarily forgotten that! I agree with you; the cup was a small but powerful indicator of where Wilson was regarding dealing with Amber's death.
