The Honeymoon: Episode 22

"Here's to women! Can't kill 'em, can't kill 'em and tell the neighbors they're stripping in Atlantic City..."
And on that classy note, we have Episode Twenty-Two! More Stacy and Wossface. Er, Mark, that is.

We get hit with the full blast of Stacy's ability to spar with House in this episode, which accounts a lot for why House was with her in the first place-- the people House likes--Wilson, Stacy, Cuddy-- are all far less jerky than House, but argument-wise--and in Wilson's case prank-wise--they certainly can take him to a certain extent.
That was a bit of a tangent, but it was eventually was supposed to get to the point of-- Stacy and Adler are very similar in their Holmes/House whupping ability. Bravo bravo, Adler/Stacy, but you still aren't as cool as Watson/Wilson!

Also, both Holmes and House seem unwilling to associate/spend time with anyone incapable of matching wits at least to some degree. Because, contrary to popular belief, Watson is not stupid. Fact.

The fact that House hasn't really changed is certainly an interesting one-- it isn't the leg that made him bitter, grumpy, and a general sort of ass, it's him.

And yes, I know I have remarked on this many times, but:
H: My old friends are telling me to be careful... They--
S: He. He thinks.
H: Fair enough.

And:
"'Why,' said I, glancing up at my companion, "that was surely the bell. Who could come to-night? Some friend of yours, perhaps?'
'Except yourself I have none,' he answered. (from FIVE)"

Also, Wilson braving the wrath of his hostess-playing wife to go see House whenever he asks is very Watson.

My goodness, season one went by so fast!
On to season two!
