Previously on House...

Cameron wonders in her stupor of all the past memories of Gregory House. Her first month working at PPTH she grew accustomed to his sarcastic mouth. She thought he was brilliant, comical, and witty. She was infatuated with him. The months go by and they go on a date. He breaks her heart with his brilliant, witty, comical, and sarcastic mouth. Somehow she still has thing for him. She gets HIV positive blood splattered across her mouth and she has to be tested for it. She does crystal meth and sleeps with Chase. She still likes House. It's time for another test and she refuses to take it because she's scared. "Cameron...I love you" House toys with her as he scrubs her mouth to get her HIV test. She still has a thing for him.

The Thoughts of Lisa Cuddy

James left House, who was sitting next to Cameron telling her everything about what happened to her. He traveled towards the Diagnostics office looking for Chase and Foreman. I watch him and wonder if I should interfere or not. I decide to go and I enter the office just as James is telling them about Cameron's condition. I catch the tail end of something along the lines of "she told him to stay" or "Don't leave." Cameron asked House to stay with her? I knew she like him, but I last I knew she lost her memory...I ask James if what I think is true. He responds that we were both right and that Cameron just asked him to stay with her. Chase and Foreman are as baffled as ever and I tell James that we better go save Cameron before something ticks her off. "You know House." yeah we do...Chase interupts my thoughts by saying that he thinks House might not start something. Right... "Earlier I was fighting with him, I was blaming him for Cameron's condition, and I must have gotten him really worked up because he admitted that he loved her. I was right! James and Foreman look down and I ask if they knew. Those sneaky little-"Yes, we didn't want to tell you because you won the bet." We laugh, and decide that we'll give House some space.

House

I explain everything to Cameron. Well, almost... She seems to remember our little fight. angry? I did your damn biopsy...Damnit I do care for you, I did lie, you know everyone lies...I love you, darling...damn it all...I almost want to scream out at her, but then I remember what happened earlier when I screamed out things. damn Chase and his temper...note to self: chase gets clinic duty...my clinic duty...I decide that I should probably just get it over with. "Look I'm sorry about the Mary Lollman thing." She winces. "I was scared, Cameron, and not because I was wrong, but because of you...Cameron...I...love you." She looks bewildered and drops her jaw. Isn't this scenario familiar? She speaks and says, "I already took my test, you don't need to swab me." I had to know that was coming..."I love you too, in my weird desperate need for the damaged." and that...For the first time in our lives, we kiss. Finally... I wake up. no...I rush to Cameron's room. Of course, she's there looking peaceful as would any comatose patient be.
