First of all, I want to say that I started écriture this, read babybell’s article and revised. I don’t want to write and “instead of” article but rather, an “in an addition to” article. I am going to focus on just some parts. She did a wonderful job on the whole episode.
Kutner and Taub have been slowly and surely defining themselves and winning me over. Two things about them in this episode really impressed me. Kutner standing up for Natalie impressed me. When he went an apologized to the boy/man he had bullied, I identified with that. What a very big thing he did. Taub pushing House with the “love like this needs to fly free” part nearly made me pee. I was half expecting House to clock him. I think they are fitting into the family better and better all of the time.
Foreteen is really a big surprise to me. Not that it happened, but that it’s been a long, slow journey to loving and accepting these two characters. Foreman first because he was there first. I didn’t always like him and I didn’t always appreciate him, but he has won me over finally. I appreciate the man he has become. He is smart, but gentle and plus caring than he gives himself credit. Thirteen has been the same to me. I never was totally sure of where she was coming from and ignored her at times when I didn’t know what to think of her. He was afraid of becoming House, but he isn’t. She was afraid of her disease, but with his help, she is facing it. It isn’t Huddy, but it is a beautiful thing and makes me smile.
The story of Natalie, the POTW, the teenager being bullied touched me as a Mother, as an ex-teenager, as a girl. I think that as a parent toi always worry that your child will not confide in toi the things that are really on their mind. How could toi not feel for her and her pain? I felt for her Mom so much too when she a dit she had tried to talk to her and she had become plus and plus distant. Stories like this are the undercurrent that keeps “House” the montrer so real.
Last but not least, Huddy. This could take pages, but I will try to condense it. I think that Cuddy really wants a close bond with another human being. She wants to take care of someone and l’amour someone who appreciates that she is there. The only problem with this theory is that bébés grow up. Someday, they will tell toi they hate you. Some jour they will stay out late with their Friends instead of coming accueil to you. Some day, bébés grow up and leave. There is some pain on both sides of the Huddy/Baby storyline. If Cuddy gets the baby, he loses the attention that Cuddy gives him when he needs the “babying”. At the same time, the unselfish part of him knows she needs something plus than what he is willing to give her. The operative word there is “willing”. If he had been plus willing to give Huddy the affection she needed, would he be giving up what he needed right now? It’s a give and take and we will get to look vers l'avant, vers l’avant to seeing what they each give up and get from this new person added to the mix. As I pointed out above, those “new” people that come into the story lines have a way of working their way into our hearts. Maybe this baby will do the same thing for House.
