House 5x05 "Lucky Thirteen" - Discussion and Spoilers

[Trekker4747]

Cuddy's desire to have a child was an in-and-out story arc during Season 3 and, IIRC, part of Season 2 (towards the end.)

The arc was all-but dropped by the time Season 3 ended and Season 4 began.

House going through vicodin withdrawal and going off on Cuddy about how bad of a mother she'd be was one of the coldest things I've EVER seen on TV.

Yeah, indeed it was. It's what makes House such an interesting show and character.

I mean our "hero" is a grade-a asshole!

House deduced that she was shopping for a sperm donor when she and Wilson went out to dinner, and he helped her with her hormone shots. I'm pretty sure both of those were before that episode.

I'm enjoying the USA reruns. I came to the show last season, so it's good to learn the storylines.

Except that in "...Judas" Cuddy tells Wilson about her three previous attempts at in vitro, and it came across as if it was news to Wilson himself. That would seem to imply that the dinner and the hormone shots came after this episode. Then again I ahve not seen all of those previous episodes

Wilson didn't know about her actual motives when they went to dinner, iirc. And when House deduced what she was up to, he didn't tell Wilson.

We're DVRing the episodes, then watching them in order. Grr. I have several in the queue, but I'm missing one that will show next weekend before we can move on.
