No "Sixth Sense" here - Foreman and Darlene both interacted with House. (But I did love that movie.) Thanks.

As break downs go you've made Wilsons spectacular. I really like how you've worked in Julie and a charming OC as well as Foreman. It's interesting to see how Wilson can't/won't focus on House at all, as though it's just way too overwhelming to be around him.

Thanks, especially for the comment on Darlene. Poor girl, she just wants to be nice to a customer who's been nice to her, but phew, what a night. Thanks again!

Oh, my god. This was so incredibly creepy. I feel like he should be sitting in a room and bonding with River and Drusilla.

I really love the character of Darlene - her concern for Wilson and his for her, and of course the intriguing similarity to the girl in the old photo...

“Because she’s a heartless bitch who doesn’t know what she’s talking about?”

This was my favorite line. House, helplessly trying to make Wilson feel better and it not even registering. O next part, where art thou?

Now THAT is a fic that I want to read!

Okay, I hate to self-pimp so much but I couldn't help it. It doesn't have breakdown!Wilson, but it does have the other two.

Thanks. Darlene has had the chance to chat with Wilson several times during his extended stay at the hotel, and has always appreciated how pleasant he is, and how he remembers little details from one conversation to the next.

She does look a teeny bit like Wilson's mother when she was younger, but probably he only saw that subconsciously.

House is definitely a bit over his head here, but he's trying. : )

a) You are evil.
b) I love you.

OK, you get my point. Wow. Those last few paragraphs... just... ouch. Roll on part two.

[deelaundry]

a) I dont' set out to be that way.
b) Thank you.

Ouch. For all that talk about House using truth as a weapon, Wilson sure knows how to kick House where it hurts. Can't wait to see what the hell's going on with him! Very intriguing.

Thanks. Wilson's got some major things going down, that's for sure.
