    Dang you David Shore! How could you do that to the Huddys! Still, I guess it goes to show how much House really depends/loves Cuddy if he had to hallucinate everything after that terrible faux pas from ep 23. I can’t wait for the end of summer and the return of HOUSE!

  • switchkosterice

    That kinda stuff is why I watch LOST. Not sure how I feel about this finale. Definitely doesn’t rival last year’s though.

  • Mike

    i thank you for the explanation i was so confused on the last part

  • Trixie

    david shore is a fuc*ing coward.
    oh, well. at least we know house loves cuddy and actually wants to be a better person to be with her.
    next season should be interesting.

  • Tori

    That was an amazing finale. Watching House’s hopes unravel was stunning, even though I suspected a hallucination to start with. The contrast of a joyful, brilliant wedding against House accepting that his own mind had turned against him…just heartbreaking.

  • Meg

    I think my mom’s going to need therapy after watching this….
    Yes, I agree with whoever said it was the cheap way out. But I mean, how do you have the show with House in an institution?! It’s probably just going to be some disease, and then he’ll recover, but things still won’t be back to normal…agh. If you’ve admitted that House and Cuddy have feelings for each other, why don’t you just go through with the relationship?!
    Chase and Cameron were beyond cute. I love those two.

    SO MAD !!!!! i LOVE cuddy and house together !!!!! and so mad that it was not truee ! i hope they will soon figure something out and put them together because i will get so pissed off !!!!!!! I LOVED THEM !!!!! PLEASE pleasee get them some way together actually together.. no dreams or anything !

  • S

    Now I feel really stupid. I mean how could I have thought House would have said “I always want to kiss you” in real life???

  • JJ

    That was just MEAN David Shore…looking back, especially last weeks Huddy Promo!!!

  • laura

    WORST SEASON FINALE EVER
    So pissed off seriously

  • andree campbell

    OMG! I loved it on many levels. A) I F-ING KNEW it was a hallucination on House’s part because Cuddy would NEVER say “you want to kiss me.” She’s too unsure of his reaction. B) Hallucin-Sex was the only way to give us the huddy shipper viewers our cake and ‘eat it, too’ while keeping the sexual tension alive C) House’s thoughts about Cuddy and asking her to move in with him shows his feelings about her. He wants her to be with him as evidenced when he tossed her coffee cup when asked by Wilson if he needed to be right or be with Cuddy. D) Wilson would NEVER tell House to make Cuddy mad as hell.
    I envision Season 6 with House getting out of the psych hospital and trying to come back to work and no one knowing what to expect. His addiction to drugs willbe cured and he’ll be torn over how to deal with the pain of his leg now that drugs are off limits. That’s my 2 cents. The writers will torture us over Cuddy’s words that she and house could never work. LOVE IT! Angst-city, babee

    I love Huddy and I loved this finale..
    makes sense?? Not really..
    Even though I have feelings of betrayal there was a lot of Huddy in this episode.
    House hallucinating sex with Cuddy and even saying to her ‘Lets move in together’ His subconscious did this.. his subconscious wants this..
    I guess it has to take another season or 2 for him to be ready to say it and really act on it. I can wait, I’m staying loyal to the show I’ve loved since season 1, episode 1

  • babybell

    i actually really, really enjoyed that ep, because I have never been outwitted before in a way i could totally not see it coming in any way at all, and does ti really matter because House still loves Cuddy absolutely 100% never been so sure of anything in my life “i-want-to-spend-the-rest-of-my-life-pissing-you-off-so-we-can-have-hot-make-up-sex” way. So it’s an amazing feeling to feel this out smarted, and i thought the way they did it was excellent. Even though Huddy is my OTP, some people thought that it would ruin the house/cuddy dynamic and now there is no danger of doing that, and some people thought it would jump the shark because house would be happy, and there’s no danger of that. And now we get a huge huddy arc next season as well so… yeah i’m shocked, but i;’m pretty damn pleased.

  • Lucia

    it was a good episode, but i cant imagine how will they (the writers) make him came back from hospital! and make us think nothing happend… it would have to change everything. it was sad just wilson going there with him…. i liked the episode, i mean it, but i´m just a bit confuse…

  • Housefan

    Disappointed. I was not a fan of the entire season, but this finale was less than satisfying. I miss the strong, smart, confident House; and Chase and Cameron – not exicting and closes too many doors.
