I really liked the ending: the kiss, of course, but also the moment in which House sees that Thirteen has a chance for real happiness and does a Good Thing.

In a sense, yes, House was responsible for the death of Wilson's patient. But, 1) Wilson knew it was morally gray area since he'd already lectured against taking anything from a patient when it was money for House and 2) the patient really was sick, so he was incapable of the judgment required to make a decision like that.

And I'm digging Park so far. She's so quietly dark and sarcastic. "You do know I hit the last person who pissed me off, right?"

Besides, the way she gladly went along with scamming Adams for House's car repairs was great.

I agree, and I think Wilson knew that allowing the donation would not have been ethical. I also think he knew what House had done and was resigned to it because of that ethical issue.

House could have taken the million dollars, while the patient was still sick, and he didn't do that, either. Had he taken the money and then prevented the transplant, we'd have to hate him for it, but at least he was consistent.

What he gave last week, he gave without there being any wrongdoing involved in the process. I don't think this week negated that gift at all.

I totally agree with you here. I think Wilson was a bit ashamed of himself. And I loved his surgical mask puffing visibly when the transplant was called off. That guy can act even with his face covered.

Of course Wilson was ashamed of himself. He's the one who cares about conventional ethics.

House would have done the exact same thing as Wilson (has done, in the sense of taking advantage of other people to save a patient) but he wouldn't have felt ashamed. Because getting what he wants is the most important thing for House. It's a simple ethical code that Wilson's, but I don't necessarily think it's a better one.

I was very happy that what I saw of Thirteen's new relationship looked like any normal relationship (as opposed to Hot, Screwed-up Lesbian Sex For Your Viewing Pleasure).

This, yes. It had always bothered me the way they seemed to play WHOOOHOO GIRL-ON-GIRL with her, pandering to the straight male viewers instead of making her sexuality just a genuine part of her characterization.

So I was both shocked and pleased that they got it right this time. I thought she had about the best exit of anyone who's left the show. They didn't kill her or have her get involved with and then dump a regular character. They let her leave amicably, to go be happy elsewhere. How refreshing.

Exactly what I thought, but much better said!
I liked that her exit was because she chose to be happy. On this show you see people making the same bad choices over and over again. I hope they don't bring her back just to show us her Tragic Death.
So far Park is my favourite fellow aside from Kutner. She's still learning who she is and it's not who she was raised to be. It's genuinely interesting to watch.

It definitely makes me wonder how much the producers' relationships with the other actors influenced their treatment of the characters.
