House season finale...

"Help Me"- House nearly loses it again. Surprise, surprise. First he learns that Cuddy is engaged, then the patient he tried to help during a big disaster dies despite everything he tried to do. He goes to his secret stash of Vicodin, only to have Cuddy show up to stop him...apparently, she's broken up with Lucas and loves House despite her better judgement. Oh, boy.

This was a good episode until the last few minutes. The House/Cuddy ship sailed two seasons ago, IMHO! The big disaster leads to two Patients of the Week- the crane operator who caused the accident, and a woman trapped under the rubble of the building he destroyed. The crane operator's case isn't interesting at all. More interesting is House's interaction with the trapped woman- his efforts to save her leg leads to a big blow-up with Cuddy, making him back down from his position. House eating humble pie was totally unexpected! And of course, the lady dies anyway, which almost drives him to drugs again. And naturally it's Cuddy who stops him...

So where is this going to lead? Is House finally going to lose all the demons that make him, well, House?

Where was Wilson this episode?
