yes, i agree with this, particularly on point about Amber. her actions and House's are routed in the same desire to have their boyfriend Wilson completely comfortable being himself around them (and, one could argue ability to discern the difference between Wilson's person and persona).
Many thanks for your comment! It's indeed fascinating to look at the same scene from different perspectives and share our views! I think I regard the situation between Wilson and Amber differently because the first mattress Wilson bought was already specifically meant to be for Amber (she'd said she wanted it; it wasn't just any mattress in the store Wilson bought thinking she might possibly like it). So it equals the church organ he got for House. Both things were chosen because Wilson wanted to make his partner happy. However, they reacted completely differently: Amber was disappointed and even a little pissed at Wilson, punished him by withdrawal of her affection and left with "I have work to do," while they were in the middle of making out. So when he went out to return his first purchase to buy the waterbed instead, it wasn't in a happy mood and not really something he did for himself, but again something he did to please her, so that she wouldn't be mad or disappointed with him any longer

Loved your analysis. Just awesome. I have a couple of questions. When House spotted the covered organ, he said "not another elepant". What did he mean by that statement.I loved that last scene. It was so sensual. House was playing the organ that Wilson gave him and you could see the passion and joy in his face and the gentleness and confidence with which he touched each key. Damn that was more powerful than sex.
And I would say that yes Wilson loves House and wants him to stay but he hasn't come to grips with understanding that he could love House in multiple ways.
Thanks so much for commenting and sorry for responding so late! The expression means that there's an obvious topic that everyone is ignoring. I think House says that he'll stop talking about the furniture and ignore Wilson's inability to buy something that reflects his personality (for the moment). The hidden piece, however, is an elephant (an obvious topic), he doesn't want to ignore since he knows what it means: Wilson has found something to express himself and to show how he feels. I agree about the last scene: It was very sensual, beautifully acted and the love between them so visible.
