Duuude. Amber. I actually screamed/squeed at that moment. Then my mom rewound that scene, and I still had no idea what the hell she said BUT AMBER WAS THERE AND THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS IN THE WORLD. That was the singularly most exciting moment on this show. I think only House and Wilson making out would top it. (Why, yes, I started and didn't finish not one but two House hallucinates/dreams Amber fics. Now I don't have to bother finishing. It's canon XD)

I'm updating my Amber website tomorrow with screencaps and probably a new layout - YES IT'S THAT EXCITING.

Oddly, I don't have much to say about the House/Wilson. It was fun, but nothing particularly deep. Well, except for the show's odd habit of constantly paralleling House/Wilson to Chase/Cameron. Ahem.

Chase/Cameron I loved. Jennifer Morrison really did finally learn how to act; the scene at the end of the episode was the second time I was wowed by her performance this year (the other was the scene with Wilson in the season premiere). I didn't believe for a minute the show was seriously going down the path of House/Cameron...ever since the Chase-wants-to-move-in episode, where House was never insinuated as a cause for Cameron's hesitation, I knew the show had finally moved on...you know, long after Cameron had. I was very happy with their characterization in this episode, too.

Cameron is self-sabotaging when it comes to relationships (obsessing over House, not running off with the guy who was a good match for her, ignoring the guy who actually has feelings for her, etc), so while I kept screaming at her to just talk to Chase, it fit. Likewise, I wanted to smack him for deciding to propose to her, but that suited his character and how their relationship has been portrayed. I'm so glad they didn't break up permanently - honestly, I think that's a cop-out. I swear, TV refuses to portray established relationships even though they're perfectly interesting. I think they'll actually get married, then probably have some temporary buyers' remorse angst, get over it, have some other drama, rinse and repeat.

Cuddy was pathetic, again. Shock and awe. But her patheticness was tolerable because both Chase and Cameron called her on it (I cheered, loudly, both times). Sometimes I wonder what the writers are thinking, though o_O;
