Cameron went to work in clinic, but her thoughts were revolving around something else - thinking out how get rid of Cuddy from casual House's life. This heavy mind activity came to fruition with brilliant (in her opinion) plan. She will revenge on Foreman for stealing her article and get rid of this stupid dean of medicine in one! She decided that the fastest way to get both aims in one she will reach by inducing Foreman to make a pass at Cuddy. She just has to tell him, that she overheard Cuddy, when she was tending to Wilson about the affection he made at her. Someone conceited like Foreman will take the bait beyond question. When her shift ended she decided to put the plan into effect and went to seek black doctor.

She was drinking coffee in the office when he came.

"O, there he is! Golden boy of our boss!" she said trying to hide mean smile.

"What are you talking about? And as I know, House is not gay?" – he asked curiously.

"You're idiot, like all men… I overheard Cuddy-Wilson conversation. Our 'Ice queen' told him that she have the hots for you. Who would think…"

"Yeah, right, and what else?"

"You think why did she propose you your own diagnostic department and other doctors? To pique House? She was actually thinking about you, she thought that she will get your friendship in change!"

Foreman wondered about this one. Well, it was a little bit suspicious but on the other hand he couldn't find no reason against it, Cuddy has to find him attractive. He smiled to himself and asked:

"You think that I should do something?"

"You don't asking me for advice how to take out a woman, do you?" she asked back with a lot of jeer.

In this moment Chase stepped into the room, so they ended their conversation at once. Foreman tried hard to hide his victorious smile, but he was so proud that other doctors glanced at him suspiciously.

And then House showed up, throwing new patient's files onto the table and preventing Foreman from indulge in his thoughts.

In some time from now Foreman was sitting in chair and tried to focus on storyline of some criminal book which he had bought a long time ago, but hadn't enough time or desire to peer into it before. The more he tried to haul in these all exciting occurrences, the more he got annoyed by all these thoughts which have been hanging around him since his talk with Cameron . Was he angry at Cameron because of what she said or was he angry at himself because he believed it - he didn't know yet. Cameron's words were a little bit more ridiculous than they were few hours ago, but still, he couldn't deny that it makes sense. Is it possible that Cuddy's motives were so obvious? Well, he couldn't reproach himself anything - he's young, attractive, intelligent, handsome… Yes, it's so true! Cuddy couldn't resist his charm but she wasn't brave enough to confess! Pleased by himself, magnanimous Foreman noticed that the lady is torturing by muffled emotions and he can't let that happen anymore so he decided to pay her a visit tomorrow morning.

She was sitting by the fireplace, lost in her own thoughts. She obviously didn't want to agree for Houses idea, but it doesn't mean she consider it as something uninteresting. She didn't even know how they'd suppose to be pretending a couple, but she was pretty sure, that it would be a lot more than sharing few smiles and warm glances. This wouldn't be enough to get rid of Cameron. She wondered how it would be like – to be with House. They get on well with each other, sometimes they acted like an old married couple. Only he could tell her things, for which every other person would be fired. Eventually she decided, that if she'll negotiate with House proper amount of clinic hours, she could even agree for that. It could make all those cold, boring winter days a lot more interesting.

Meanwhile House was wondering, how to convince Cuddy to pretend his girlfriend. It would be so interesting. Regardless how it would affect on Cameron - however her hysterical reaction would be something that he could tell everybody in the hospital. Most interesting thing was if Cuddy could stand the fact that she's HIS girlfriend. It would mean that she belongs to him. With her tendency for dominance it could be very funny. And they'd have more time for bantering, or he'd just have more time to irritate her. As a matter of fact it was one of his favorites things to do. Nothing amused him so much like Cuddy outraged by his actions. He laughed to himself and admitted that even thinking about it was fun.
