Obviously, spoilers for "Bombshells" follow.
I am a die-hard Huddy. I liked Bombshells. I liked the end of Bombshells, a lot. And I will admit, part of me likes it because I want to see House back on vicodin (it just feels right). But, it goes much deeper than that.
This was the first time this season I felt the relationship rang true to these characters
Now, I am probably in the minority of the Huddy fandom, but I have never wanted them to be "official" endgame. I wanted them to hook up, sleep together in a friends-with-benefits type arrangement, fight, make up, and kind of drift along in an unofficial relationship. Eventually, House would freak out when he realized he was serious about Cuddy, یا Cuddy would decide she couldn't put up with House's antics, and they would call it off. But they would "relapse," sleeping together on-and-off. They would try to hide it from coworkers. At the series finale, they would make an ambiguous step forward, hinting but not outright stating that they were going to give a relationship a try. I felt this development would have stayed true to the two characters I have grown to love.
I am probably the only one who feels this way, but the beginning of this season bothered me. Honestly, the way their relationship was portrayed through much of season six bugged me as well. Cuddy would have not willingly sought out a relationship with House. She would have tried to deny her attraction, and then fallen into بستر with him when he did something a little sweet, یا when she was particularly mad at him. And House would have denied loving her for as long as possible. He would have never been serious about her before they were consistently sleeping together, یا at least he would have pretended he wasn't serious about her until that point. I just can't imagine House pining after Cuddy before he had been with her.
The last time House and Cuddy felt like House and Cuddy was season 5. I feel that if the writers had put them together then, they could have done it right. I random hook-up, followed سے طرف کی repeated booty calls, that eventually would lead to a pseudo-relationship, that would have felt right for two stubborn and feisty individuals with a lot of sexual tension.
At the end of season 5, I wrote an مضمون about the relationship I have with my ex, and how we are quite similar to House and Cuddy. With my life experience, I can't help but compare how I would act and how he would act to how House and Cuddy behave. We will always flirt. We will always fight. In our moments of weakness, we will admit we care. But unless those moments of weakness align, we will never be together. I readily admit that our connection is far from healthy, but we can't deny it. I just can't picture House and Cuddy in a "normal" یا "healthy" relationship.
These last few episodes have brought a dynamic back to Huddy that I felt has been missing since they made House and Cuddy some star-crossed lovers from college. They have bickered over stupid stuff. They tease and flirt. They own دکھائیں serious concern in their eyes (or when House was drunk). I liked the tension, the feel that their dynamic is not entirely healthy.
A break-up was inevitable with these two. And it happened in an in-character way. His behavior just got to be too much for her. He pleaded in a very House-ian way. She broke down later. These are the characters I love, the characters I've missed for a season and a half.
So, I am glad that Cuddy ended things. These are two complex individuals, and they were not meant for happily ever after. If they continue to pursue this storyline in an intelligent way, I will be pleased.
Plus, it's not over, not really. With these two, I don't think it will ever be over.
