Alright, this may be a short article, but after watching a certain scene in Unfaithful, talking to K, and reading Missy's article I'd figure my random realization may be worth writing about:
"You never wanted to take that other job. You never wanted to save me. You wanted to offer to save me so you wouldn't feel guilty. You knew I'd say no. That's why you're so mad right now."
...
"You're an idiot."
- Foreman and Thirteen; 5x15 "Unfaithful"
I believe that we can reflect this to the Huddy discussion in Unfaithful- to go or not to go to Cuddy's party, that is the question.
"You never wanted me to go to your party. You never wanted me to be a part of it. You wanted to offer me to go so you wouldn't feel guilty. You knew I'd say no. That's why you're so mad right now."
This is probably what a Huddy-fied version of the Foreteen argument would have sounded like. The thing is, House really does believe that she did not want him there. That she only invited him because she knew he'd say no. Yet, at the end of the episode, we learn that Cuddy actually DID want House to be there. That he IS an idiot for falling for the trap of her not wanting him to be there. Not only that, but Foreteen was playing House all along. In the end, House was left believing that he played Foreteen and that he LET Cuddy play him, when actually Foreteen was the one to play him and Cuddy was left played, since she actually did want House there.
What does this tell us? Well, I have no idea. My brain juice is now gone, so I'll let you guys tell me your thoughts.
