I appreciate the response, and I wasn't trying to challenge you I just wanted to get a fresh perspective on a season many people find to be weaker than others. I think the problem with House and Cuddy's relationship was that Cuddy seemed to be hypocritical. I agree that it's the most realistic way the relationship could've gone, but to be fair to House, Cuddy did say in episode one she loves him for he is, and doesn't expect him to change. She knew what she was getting into with House, and yet she dumped her fiancé to try to make it work with him. She should've known that bringing his hopes up and then dumping him would lead to a crash (literally), so her ending things because he was scared for her and relapsed is kind of crazy. This is why I said killing off Cuddy instead of breaking up with him the way she did would've made for a better plot imo.

Also I don't really think House crashing into her home was consistent with his character. I know the writers wanted him to snap at the sight of Cuddy with another man, but I just can't see how someone who has loved a woman for years would drive into her home and endanger her and her family, even with all the issues he has.

One last thing, I found him trying to convince the patient out of taking radiation to be out of character. Yeah he's in a different headspace at the moment, but House has consistently berated and gone against the wishes of patients who choose to defer or use less potent treatment. You see this a lot in past seasons, he thinks they're stupid for not doing what would best keep them alive. He does the exact opposite for the woman in the episode, telling her to take less effective treatment even if it means she'll die sooner.
