@HLforever & Fran2 Yes, I soon as I saw that episode title I could see the parallels. I can totally see House releasing Cuddy from him for "her own good." He essentially did that for Stacy back in S2. I've always thought that if they were to break up then that was really the only plausible way for it happen. House would sacrifice his relationship with her to protect her.
I can't remember if it was in a philosophy class or a physchology class, I just remember an ethical question was put forth to me by a professor once about the nature of love and friendship. The question was would you act in your friend's/lover's best interest even if it meant the end of that relationship? In other words, what was more important to you the friend or the friendship?
House's answer to those kind of questions is always the person over the relationship, which is the hardest road to take but the one that is most noble.
I love the whole song, You Must Remember This, but my favorite line has always been: "Hearts full of passion - jealousy and hate"
and my favorite verse is the last one: It’s still the same old story, A fight for love and glory, A case of do or die....
I have a feeling there may be some tears ahead.
@HuddyJoy Yes, Both Sides Now is a perfect example of how House uses references to songs or movies as a metaphor for what's going on in the show, which is why as soon as I saw the episode title for 7.12 I kinda flipped out in a heartbreak kind of way.
