User Reviews

Deep in denial

there were several things I liked about this episode:

1. Wilson. I loved how he played House although I'm not completely sure when he was acting and when he was confused for real.

2. House & Cuddy. he was jealous and wouldn't even admit it to himself. and his invitation in the last moments of the episode spoke volumes.

3. Chase & Cameron. I loved the fact that he stood for himself. first with the case and then with Cameron. it was obvious he cares deeply for her but he was done begging. and she so hoped for him to. but the flowers idea was really sweet and the card even sweeter.

the case was quite interesting but the personal stuff was so much better. and I realized that House and Cameron are much more alike that one would think. both have some big relationship issues but where he doesn't care a bit she cares too much and none of them is brave enough to face their actual feelings. they could build a self-help group Deep in denial. not that it would help but one can still hope.
