House: Chase ♥s Cameron!!!1!

Last week on House, House totally busted Chase and Cameron doing the nasty amongst the mops in a janitor's closet. (It doesn't get any hotter than that, people.) This week, House tries to go on vacation, and Cuddy tries to be House...if House were a crazed hormonal wreck giving a bad name to single women everywhere, that is. Because, you know, we all want to have babies and stuff. And if we can't, we totally go insane trying to save some pregnant stranger's baby, even though the stranger is turning yellow and dying right before our very eyes. (In your head, picture the stranger as being played by Helen Hunt's sister on Mad About You.)

So yeah, Cuddy goes off the deep end with the over-identifying a little bit, and while House tries and fails to pull her back from the brink, Cuddy ends up curing the patient and her baby, so it's all good. Incidentally, this episode completely confirmed my suspicion that babies are poisonous alien parasites out to kill their hosts. The Alien-esque scene with the tiny little hand bursting out of the uterus didn't help. Eww. (Yeah, it was during open-uterus surgery, but still! Creepy!)

On to the Chase and Cameron business. Thanks to House, by the end of the episode everyone knows they're sleeping together, and everyone thinks it's a bad idea because Cameron's going to get hurt. Mostly, they're worried that she'll be even MORE annoying when heartbroken, if possible. Chase spends the episode being jealous of what he assumes (probably correctly) is Cameron's intent to make House jealous. He also spends the episode falling in looooove with Cameron. Ruh-roh! Cameron spends the episode brushing everything off, like the selfish friends-with-benefits ho that she is. Just kidding--nail that Australian piece of pretty-boy ass, Cameron, if that's what makes you less whiny and annoying!
