Title: Fidelity
Description: I'm making a prediction

OK, in my fic "Loyalties" I suggested that Wilson was in cahoots with Cuddy on the Detox bet. And... I was doing the happy dance after the ep was over.
I also suggested that Wilson and Cuddy are in cahoots about... a lot of things.
Then, I was playing around. But now I've finally seen "Fidelity" for the first time, and I'm ready to more than suggest it.
You read it here first: Wilson and Cuddy, sittin' in a tree....

You are proabaly right on that. Wilson and Cuddy want to try and help House with his addiction that he says is not a problem. He and Cuddy where also in cahoots about House seeing his patients.

Sorry, I don't see Cuddy and Wilson together on that tree. I think they respect and understand each other professionally and both want to help House in some way. That doesn't put them up that tree in my humble opinion. And I will apologize to you, Auditrix, if the show proves you right.

Pish-tosh! -- no need to apologize, JGB, if I am proven correct -- it's not a personal insult if you don't happen to agree with me. This isn't the Fox board, after all :P rtlemurs and I disagree all the time, and we're still friends :lol: I even read her fic! :D :D
I think they respect and understand each other professionally and both want to help House in some way. That doesn't put them up that tree in my humble opinion.
Of course. It's not the mutual respect and desire to help a friend that made me think of this. I was in a hurry last night and I'll update my post with my evidences later today.

OK, evidences. I think that they are dropping us hints in "Fidelity" that Wilson and Cuddy are More Than Just Friends.
First, in the "green tie" scene in the clinic. House and Wilson have come out of the exam room:
| QUOTE |
Wilson: Well. That’s what breasts look like.
House: Is a lie a lie if everybody knows it’s a lie?
Wilson: Well, if a tree pretends to fall in a forest… House, come on, they're breasts. They're a birthday present, not a philosophical treatise.
House: Lie number one, she did not do that for her husband, she did that for herself. She thinks if she looks different, she'll be different.
Wilson: No, she thinks if she looks different, she'll be more attractive, which, I have to say…
House: Not to her husband. Cosmetic surgery is so that everyone else will look at us differently. Same reason you're wearing that tie.
Wilson: Well exactly, that was going to be my next point.
House: Last three months, same five ties. Thursday should be that paisley thing.
Wilson: It's a gift from my wife.
House: No it's not. Julie hates green. You bought that yourself. You want to look pretty. At work. [singsong] Wilson's got a girlfriend…
Wilson: Stop! Stop. I don’t. |
And at that exact moment, the camera cuts not to House for his retort -- but to Cuddy.
Coincidence? Maybe. But later in the same episode, Wilson calls on House in his office. They discuss the case, and then House asks...
| QUOTE |
House: ...So, what's her name? When do I get to meet her?
Wilson: There's nobody. Give it up.
House: Your lips say no, your shoes say yes.
Wilson: Well, they're French. You can't trust a word they say.
House: Solid, yet stylish. A professional woman would be impressed. I'm thinking accountant, actuary, maybe. It's somebody in the hospital. Patient? No, chemo's not sexy. Daughter of the patient? She would certainly have the neediness you need.
Wilson: I'm not gonna date a patient’s daughter.
House: Very ethical. Of course, most married men would say they don’t date at all.
Wilson: There was no date! I had lunch with one of the nurses. It's her first time in an oncology unit and she's having a tough time, emotionally.
House: Perfect.
Wilson: I wanted to be nice. That’s all. I mean it.
House: You always do. It's part of your charm. |
And at that precise moment, who walks in but... Cuddy again. There's also a little joshing where House teases Wilson about Cuddy being jealous of the well-endowed patient. But during that scene, while House is talking, look closely at the way Wilson's looking at Cuddy. (sorry, couldn't find a cap.)
Looking at it in print, it seems like a stretch, but the timing of the scenes just struck me. BOTH of the times House is teasing Wilson about his "girlfriend", Cuddy walks in. I think they're dropping us a hint.
Also, what better time to start hinting at this subplot than an episode about fidelity and infidelity?
Finally, Wilson points out that you can't trust a word his shoes say. And the next episode was supposed to be "Sports Medicine," in which Wilson gets caught in a lie. About having dinner. With a (different) woman. Later, in "Detox," we learn that he was in cahoots with Cuddy about the bet -- and he is soooo confident House will never believe he came up with the idea. So what else is he prepared to deceive House about?
So that's what I'm seeing in the tea leaves. They may not be all the way up the tree, but I think we're getting clues that they're at least in that part of the park.

Everyone thought it was the husband that was cheating but at the end it was the wife who cheated on her husband with his friend. I am guessing that is how she got African Sleeping Disease.
