Like the last scene should've been House going to see Wilson at the bar to hang out and help him feel better, not going on a fake-interview date with the hot nutritionist. It's Pizza Night all over again.
YES!
I ... God, this episode really disturbed me. House didn't know Wilson's current medical scrips, and HE GAVE HIM FUCKING AMPHETEMINES!
Am I spelling "amphetemines" right? I haven't looked it up.
Parts of this episode I loved -- RSL has one hell of a flair for physical comedy that he's apparently kept under a rock for most of these three seasons, but ... HOUSE COULD'VE KILLED HIM. Jesus Christ.
Yeah. Uh. I figured House *did* know Wilson's medical history, but clearly he didn't know about the anti-depressants before Chase pinged his brain, but then he did know or at least suspect he was taking them when he dosed him with the amphetamines ("a" in the middle), so, he was still being his own version of careful but only sort-of caring?
Got to admit, trauma aside, Wilson on speed was a funnier route to diagnosis than House breaking into Wilson's office and going through all his stuff trying to find the pills.
Speaking of Wilson on speed. Partly awesome, partly over-the-top, I thought. I liked him talking too fast to Foreman and shaking over label placement, but the wink and some of his lines to the girl in the exam room seemed... more RSL than Wilson? Which threw me out for a little bit.
Namaste said an idea on TWOP that I swear I thought of too during the epi, but then forgot so I'll give her the credit:
"Wilson outthinking House -- knowing he'd better dose both cups of coffee"
What if Wilson's not really on anti-depressants; he's just doping both cups of coffee so he can be sure House will get them? That is LOVE, unconditional and fairly well insane love.
And I'm 99.9% sure Wilson needs them anyway, so it's all good.
Oh, one more thing. Continuity monkeys were hopped up on something, because just a few episodes back we had Wilson drinking super-sweet coffee and House scorning it. But now Wilson is drinking House's espresso just fine, so either House made both drinks sweet (?) or Wilson decides he doesn't need sugar.
Don't be sorry -- that struck me too. From little things like that to huge Wilson character developments that get dropped, lack of continuity is one of the biggest and most consistent disappointments of the show. I know I'm not alone in that. It is sad. :( <-- sad face. like wilson before he started his prescription
TV shows supposedly have people on staff whose job is to ensure continuity. But I guess that must mean if the folder is Wilson's right hand in Take 10, then it's in his right hand in Take 35. They really need to hire someone (say, um, you, or me) to enforce character continuity and establish a reasonable timeline.
Oh, I'm sure they have people on staff for shot-to-shot continuity as well as season and series continuity, but the latter group must need some augmentation, or coffee, or training, or replacement, because really, that is just not this show's forte, and that's one way to lose your hardcore fans.
Tell me about Chase=Wilson. I mostly only noticed the big Chase=House stuff. Unless perhaps you refer in part to Chase laughing at House's jokes and things.
P.S. Speaking of people being like House, WTF with the preview voiceover plugging the fact that the POTW is just like House? Hello? So is every patient ever.
I didn't even consider spoilers, but maybe that's at least part of why so much canon seems predicted by fic lately. Not that I'm not loving it (while simultaneously wanting House to STOP BEING SUCH A COMPLETE ASS AND GO LOOK AFTER WILSON RIGHT NOW DAMMIT). I also really felt they hadn't 'resolved' that Wilson thread properly, but House hitting on someone is faaar more important, right? Sigh. The whole H/W this ep left me sad and amused and outraged and pissed off and... I just have no idea what chapter I'm in right now :)
YES HOUSE HITS ON WOMEN WHILE FINGERING GUYS. WE SHOULD THINK ABOUT THAT MORE CAREFULLY. OR MAYBE, LIKE, NOT.
Um... the yawning is a recent symptom when Wilson's been taking them for a few weeks? Okay, no, you win on that one.
With the show's continuity being as good as it has been lately, who knows, maybe we'll get to hear more about Wilson's depression.
I thought you were being sarcastic at first, but then I realized you weren't! I agree that continuity has been better these past few weeks than at other points during the season, so there's a better chance they'll stay with the Wilson-and-House-are-depressed theme (though they're way more likely to drop Wilson's half and focus on House) than, but it's still not great. You know --
Wilson/Cuddy - dropped House/Cuddy - dropped Chase/Cameron - dropped Wilson/Robin - dropped Cuddy!baby - dropped House worrying about the worsening side effects of his Vicodin usage - dropped House trying to find alternative pain management/rehabilitation methods - dropped
etc. And I do, I do see what they have kept. Just saying, I wouldn't necessarily praise the show's continuity.

Best description I've read of how I felt too.
