Cameron is getting more mysterious than House!
haha. I agree. I want to see more Cameron!
So, yesterday, I was going to go on and on about what I liked about the episode, but then I had to go. Now I can't remember fully what I was going to say.
Right. So, I liked the episode. House actually opened up to someone and I think he felt sorry for the rape victim, no matter how many times he said he was being forced to stay in her room.
He was the one to ask if she wanted to go for a walk. I think at that point, he wanted to make sure no one would walk in and hear about what happened in his past.
Jumping back to the start of the episode, I wonder why the girl would only talk to House as the start. I re-watched it and maybe it's because House knew just by her actions and looking in her eyes that she was raped. It was the first person she told about it and maybe she didn't want it to spread around too much? Maybe the fact that he's like a rock and she just wanted the thrill in breaking it. She found out from the start that he has no sympathy for rape victims. So, maybe she wanted to make him feel sympathy for her, then she'd tell him what happened. Maybe she wanted him to feel sympathetic for her, before she spilled about her problem.
I liked how the girl was smart and knew when House was lieing. She's smart people-wise. House completely disagrees with her, because most of her opininons, she based them on religion. I think that's what bugged House about her. When they talked about abortion, the girl said 'abortion is murder' which is true, but then she said 'every life is sacred', which is probably something she's been taught through her religion.
You can see it in House's eyes when Cuddy tells him that the girl is pregneant, he's spent so much time with her that I think he has started to care for her, and you can see that he feels sorry for her when he's told that she's pregneant. After that, he sat close to her when he told her. I liked that. It showed that now, she was no longer just another patient, to House anyway.
Then House challenges her religion, which I didn't like too much, but I guess it's better than being left unsaid. I guess I'll say something about Cameron now, how can she just sit there and watch someone die? Maybe she was imagining her husband on the bed, I noticed that she kinda day-dreamed at one point. Or maybe I was just seeing things?
Anyway - that's all I wanted to say. I liked the relationship between House and the girl, we never see House reacting to anyone like that. Well, he sorta talks to Wilson, but this was different. This was a different relationship, and I think House learned from it. Maybe we'll see a bit more compassion in episodes to come? Haha - somehow I doubt it.
