This is my first time menulis an article, but I just cannot contain my emotions about this Huddy finale! So I just have to get this out.
I want to go through the final scene little oleh little, looking at the biggest theme that strikes me in it- honesty. Honesty from House (which is a huge change) and also honesty from Cuddy (finally!).
Let’s start with House coming back to his old bathroom (parallel with season 5 finale!!!) and ripping the mirror off of the dinding to get his stash of vicodin. In his mind, he has honestly run out of options- he truly thinks he has nowhere better to turn than back to drugs and numbing his emotions away. He’s beyond frustrated that all his attempts to do good for other people have only brought bad back to him. And he is ready to give up.
But then, before House has a chance to perform his classic pill popping technique… enter savior Cuddy (parallel with season 5 finale again!). House’s response is anything but sweet because he is assuming that she is still with Lucas and pushing him away like she had been the entire day.
“You gonna leap across the room and grab them out of my hand?”
“No. It’s your choice if anda wanna go back on drugs.”
“Ok. Just so anda know I’m finding it hard to see the downside.”
In these first lines we again see House’s honesty about his current situation. He openly tells Cuddy that he has lost all hope and is ready to go back to the way he was on vicodin; which we know he thinks is terrible, because he used his life as an example of why the girl should amputate her leg earlier in the episode. And we also see honesty from Cuddy. She doesn’t try to control House’s life, as anda might expect with her Type A personality and desire to have everything under control. But she doesn’t try to fix House. She honestly tells him that she can’t make his choices for him.
“You need to re-bandage your shoulder.”
“Is that why you’re here? Foreman sent you?”
“No.”
“You here to yell at me again?”
“No.”
“Well, I’m running out of ideas.”
We again see that House still doesn’t understand why Cuddy showed up- he thinks that she only came because he was bleeding. Which, again, explains his curt response when she first walked in. But despite House’s somewhat rude tone, Cuddy just quietly and calmly responds “no.” And as House said, he doesn’t have any other ideas as to why she would be there- he doesn’t have any hope left that she would actually leave Lucas for him. Which we can see in his response as soon as Lucas’s name comes out of her mouth:
“Lucas…”
“Oh great, you’re feeling uncomfortable again. It probably means anda just got back from some quickie wedding in Vegas atau you’re already pregnant…”
House responds with his honest feelings which I don’t think he would have done in the past. His complete hopelessness brings out his raw emotions and he lets her hear his miserable train of thought. But she interrupts him:
“I ended it.”
“What?”
Now this moment I love. The expression on House’s face is one of complete and utter shock. His hopelessness is remedied in those three simple words. He honestly was not expecting them at all and I don’t think many of us as fan were either. And now we get complete honesty from Cuddy about where she is:
“I’m stuck, House. I keep wanting to pindah forward, I keep wanting to pindah on, and I can’t. I’m in my new house with my new fiancé and all I can think about is you. I just need to know if anda and I can work.”
Cuddy says the words we were all only dreaming she would say. anda can hear the sense of defeat in her voice as she admits that she has failed in living her own desires for herself. She desperately wanted to live a normal life with Lucas and to have her version of the “American Dream” with a husband, little girl, and white picket fence. But she honestly can’t. She has realized that she can’t pindah on without at least giving House a chance, seeing if they can make it. She has been running away, trying to convince herself that he isn’t right for her, but she has finally stopped running. Meanwhile, House is holding his shocked expression and she reveals herself to him.
“You think I can fix myself?”
“I don’t know.”
“Cause I’m the most screwed up person in the world.”
“I know.”
How’s that for open honesty? Cuddy admits that she knows she is taking a chance, which she doesn’t usually like to do. She doesn’t know if House is going to be able to pull it all together. And House is the first one to admit that he is broken. A season ago, I don’t think House would have showed that amount of honesty about himself. I think he would just continue to come back with witty komentar and deflect, but he has changed.
“I cinta you. I wish I didn’t. But I can’t help it.”
There’s what we’ve all been waiting for! She berkata it! She is completely honest with House- she tells him she loves him, which is huge! But I also cinta that she admits that she wishes she didn’t but can’t help it. She is completely honest with him even though may hurt, she doesn’t hold anything back.
And now another little thing that I cinta about this scene: House tries to get up, but can’t. And instead of looking for another way to stand himself up, he reaches his hand out to Cuddy. House has usually been self-conscious about his leg around most people, but not with Cuddy. He openly and honestly allows her to see his weakness. He has complete trust that she isn’t going to take advantage of his vulnerability.
And I like the way that they kiss- it’s not heated and passionate like in House’s hallucination last season, but very loving and romantic. Their relationship has changed now. It’s not a one time kiss, atau a one night stand. It’s a real relationship now- they can take their time.
“How do I know I’m not hallucinating?”
“Did anda take the vicodin?”
“No.”
“Then I think we’re okay.”
“Yeah.”
House admits that he is still doubting that all of this is real (as I’m sure a lot of us fan were too!). But Cuddy points out that he didn’t take the drugs, he’s clean. And they both can’t help but smile and glow as House drops the vicodin, they ciuman again, and hold hands.
The pure honesty between these two always makes me smile. They are both honest about their failures. House is open about his weakness and Cuddy is open about her failure to ignore him. That is the basis for a real relationship- pure honesty with each other. I cannot wait for the selanjutnya season to start so we can see where their relationship goes.

Thoughts, everyone???
I just read that in the Season 6 finale of House, that a French actor will play House's SON!!! Why oh why I ask must the writers continue to crush the Huddy shipper! First Cuddy/Lucas and a happy family with baby Rachel and now this!! I mean a son? Where the hell did he come from? I guess House's days of sleeping with hookers finally caught up with him. This confirms my worst fears that there is no hope EVER for a Huddy baby. I don't know if the spoiler is a confirmed one atau not, but GY had no komentar when asked if this was true. I read this at iwatchforcuddy.livejournal.com Check it out guys and pray that its not true.
