House : Nobility

Lots of nobility going on here, though it translates to idiocy towards the end. House treats a patient who plays a knight at a local renaissance fair. The guy is apparently in love with the queen, who is engaged to the king, who is the knight's friend. So he decides to take the noble path and sacrifice his own unhappiness for hers, because apparently the king can provide better for her than a knight. Is this guy mental or what?

Meanwhile, Wilson is back with his ex-wife, as House discovers unexpectedly when he runs into her naked (House, not her) in the kitchen of his and Wilson's house. Remembering the last time Wilson broke up with his ex-wife and became totally destroyed, House takes the noble path and tries to break them up, though with a lot less noble means.

House tells Cuddy, who refuses to get mixed up in Wilson's love life, but instead encourages him to go on with the relationship although he was having doubts about it. So House is on his own. Wilson's ex wanted to get House on her side, so she invited him out for dinner with her and Wilson. House being House, brings along a transvestite prostitute as his date. Classic!

The second thing he did was make them dinner, and when Wilson heads of to the bathroom, House reveals his true feelings about the relationship, calling her a ruthless bitch. She replied with relief that at least she won't have to pretend to like House anymore, except in front of Wilson. They regain their happy attitude when Wilson returns.

House hires his private detective to dig out stuff about her, and apparently she has a psych history. But before he could read it, she appears, persuading him to give their relationship a chance. House, surprisingly, agrees, mostly out of nobility. He dumps the report in the dustbin, and I'm sure it'll come back to haunt him sooner or later, when Wilson is destroyed yet again by the 'ruthless bitch'.

For once, House is noble. He shows that he cares about Wilson, but is doing it the wrong way. In the end, he goes against his better judgment and decides to let the relationship continue. I'm pretty sure House is going to regret this decision., which he made out of nobility. He called the patient an idiot for being noble, when he himself is doing the same thing. Irony!

Everything else goes on pretty much the same, the team bicker, fight and argue and House ends up treating the patient. But the interesting thing about this episode is the portrayal of House's good side, which brings out worse decisions from him than his evil side. Shows how you can't make good decisions when you care about someone. Sigh. How true that is!
