Becoming House For Love | House M.D. 

Yes, yes it is.

never seen him like this before tbh

Came looking for this clip precisely for this one moment. I literally cried after this episode because of his father figure type love.

Hugh Laurie's acting range is amazing. Most of House's rants and monologues have a sense of cynicism, or a feeling of being above it all and just hiding that he is. Or, when he's not, he's either depressed or extremely angry, but here is one of the exceedingly rare instances in the entire show when he actually demonstrates visible, unalloyed _concern_ for one of his coworkers, and this time, it happens outside of the context of a genuine medical emergency. We see a bit of that trademark House cynicism at the start of the scene, but it's halfhearted at best and almost immediately dissolves into genuine instruction. A combination of guilt, self-loathing, and a realization that in many ways, Chase _is_ the closest thing he will ever have to a son gave him a strong incentive to try and save him from himself in the hopes that at least one person on his staff, the one with by far the most time and experience under his tutelage, comes out of it all better off than when he entered it.

Well he also a father on stuart little

Considering they end up in those roles...

have you seen the last episodes?

Imagine if there’s an spin off called “chase md” and in the sixth season finale chase and foreman will get together Don’t know if I should feel terrified by that though

@@drstrangelove4925 Chase: I feel hurt. Foreman: I know, I'm sorry. Chase: It's not your fault.

@@drstrangelove4925 with all respect, fck u for uttering these words

And then she blamed him for turning chase into a killer

Chase did too. In the episode where he gets stabbed. Chase directly says that House cares but he can’t show it so he makes excuses. And I would say Thirteen does as well.

Taub too, he knew for a long time

So did Thirteen

They ALL did lol. But they couldn't care less cause it's not part of the job. U come to work who cares or doesn't, doesn't matter at all

That's a brilliant flash of insight, Sir. I had missed it initially.

Chase has become House already. It shows.

people suffering is hilarious?

House makes rule breaking his go to in the first place though

Because nobody wants another house

Didn't sleep with them though

I read this comment like the joker.

House doesn't get emotionally involved with the patient he gets emotionally involved with his OCD need to solve the puzzle that's different

6:55

@@georgeboehmler7211 Yeah, seeing House get so emotionally worked up while he's trying to help Chase in his own way was pretty hard. You could tell he was imparting wisdom from experience and not his usual cynical viewpoint of the world.

It was one of the best written episodes of the final season and in terms of acting, directing and writing, in the top 5/7 for the run of the show. The tone of the exchange clearly indicates Chase has been tapped by House as his successor.

do u have a timestamp? is it at 8:35 or somewhere else lol

I believe this admission encompasses EVERYTHING: The stubborn decision to keep his leg which played a huge role in his relationship with Stacey falling apart; how he nearly blew up the life of the sister-in-law (Lydia) of the psychiatric patient (Annie) who never spoke a word or changed her expression, pursuing her trying to make something of their one-time hook up; his Vicodin relapse and then parking his car in Cuddy's dining room; subverting Dominika's green card application. House is a man in constant physical and emotional pain. His psychological pain began when his father, the man his mother was married when he was young, employed stern forms of punishment for even minor infractions of his rules. House, keenly observant deduced that this man, a military man, was not his father and assumed that another fellow that his mother regularly "met" was in fact his biological father. House resented his father, distrusted his mother, disrespected his bio-dad, and from there his bitterness only grew. EVERYBODY LIES. Once the leg infarction happened, the physical pain only drove House further into his bitter cynicism. Stacey leaving him...deepened this! She LIED TOO: Her love for him was a lie (in House's mind). Lydia, to whom House grew close, in his weakened state recovering from his addiction and psychotic break, also mislead House (or so he felt). Cuddy, knowing that House was an addict, knowing that he resorted to Vicodin to cope, dumped him over a relapse when House thought she was dying of cancer, was a betrayal for House. THIS LOVE TOO was a LIE. Dominika too was someone who would leave him, once he served his purpose. Even as they grew close and felt real mutual affection, House was too insecure that she too would leave him. THIS was House warning Chase: Don't become like ME! Don't disenchant, dismantle, disabuse everyone of whatever meaning they derive in this harsh, cruel, brutish world full of lies! SOME LIES, the ones we tell ourselves to make this world more bearable, those lies YOU should allow them...even if it means that you lose the girl THIS TIME! That's because House knew that if Chase stole the comforting "lie" from Moira, Chase would become the embodiment of the death of any meaning in her life. And in the end, Chase would end up like House! A lonely, bitter, angry, miserable man who wields truth as a weapon, leaving no room for friends or companionship!

@@victorpradha9946 well said.

I agree. Keeping the leg and losing Stacy (they were at least a functional couple, unlike Huddy)

@@victorpradha9946, nice analysis.

Really? People think he's talking about Cuddy? I thought it was obviously about his leg.

Take a way the one shred of meaning she finds in life, be the embodiment of that LOSS OF MEANING. AND THEN WHAT?! Where is the happily ever after following THAT! House already deduced that a young, attractive woman who clearly connected with Chase, who SLEPT with Chase was running away from some heavy regret to be taking her final vows to be a nun. House realized that she must have had some kind of deep, meaningful vision (in her near death experience) that only further "cemented" her decision to take these vows and not pursue her budding romance with Chase. As quite the catch that Chase is (good looking, a doctor, that accent, him being a hero in having saved her life, his background as a former seminary student to her status as a postulant), House knew that it must have been a dozy of a vision. Chase robbing her of THAT would no doubt sow some serious division and resentment and upend whatever meaning she thinks she may have found, however false it may be. House played it all out in his head and was trying to spare Chase of ending up exactly where he himself ended up many times (with Stacy, with Dominika, with Cuddy). House knew the cost of recklessly wielding the truth as a weapon and of self-deludedly pursuing happily ever. House knew where Chase was headed, and realized how destructive that would be for him, for Moira and how this could take Chase away from his first, best destiny (as a premiere diagnostician, and d@mn good surgeon too)!

Please. House is a genius yet not a prophet. He just knew that there would be problems ahead for them.

@KitchensAreHot Surely got to be. A lot of yucky stuff is legal, like professors sleeping with their students.

I’m pretty sure it’s not, because you can’t operate on anyone that you have/had a connection with. Just like you couldn’t operate or treat one of your classmates, same goes here. Still, I’m not 100% sure.

@KitchensAreHot I think it's legal to sleep with her after she was discharged, but definitely can't be her doctor after that.

Yes but then he started treating her when she was admitted back to the hospital, and that can't happen.

@@kappasigh3945 Why though? Doesn't the emotional incentive helping the doctors?

The scene was a personal admission for House and simultaneous plea from him to Chase amounting to "Don't end up like me. It's a miserable place to be." Earlier in the episode, House shames Chase about his repeated meaningless trysts. It seemed so House to do that, but at the same time, it felt a bit too personal and a bit too gratuitous especially since House was presumably trying to "ply" Chase to rejoin the team. House realized that the ONLY constant in Chase's life that propelled him with any interest was the diagnostics...aka solving the puzzle. That is until Chase met Moira. House, being so gifted with observational skills and intuitive deductive abilities, quickly discerned that Chase was caught in a no win paradoxical situation. The object of Chase's affections, someone with whom Chase felt a real connection, is about to take her final vows to become a nun and more to the point, had spiritual moment that has cemented her decision to commit to this life. Chase was about to take the meaning, impact, and purpose of that experience away from her. Even if it were true that her experience was just caused by a chaotic burst of chemicals in her brain, forcing that truth on her would not be for the sake of disabusing her of the delusion she held, but for the hope of some happily ever after that Chase wanted with Moira. The paradox is that Chase was hoping to use this truth, to win back Moira, but in actuality, it would cause him to lose her entirely as he would have stripped all the meaning she now feels away from her, leaving her with nothing except Chase as the one who did this to her. What's beautiful here is that House, in the most compassionate and sincere tone we've heard from him thus far through the series, points out to Chase that he too is teeming with chemicals spurring him to bond with Moira and that in attempting to deflate her spiritual catharsis so that she will give up taking the vows and run off with him, Chase will likely rob her life of any meaning. House forecasts that this will cause her to resent him and ultimately leave Chase all alone...bitter, lonely, angry and miserable. And House basically admits that he just summed up his own epitaph.

@@victorpradha9946 When you put it like that it parallel's what Stacy did to House with his leg

@@tomsweeney7922 Yes...in obliging House and ignoring the medical advice given to her, Stacy did condemn House to a life of regret fueled anger. House basically admits all this in "Help me", Season 6, Episode 22. And the end of that episode, House did everything right and he was still left feeling empty and alone...until Cuddy came to him, dumping Lucas in the process. In truth, staying with Lucas would have been the best outcome for Cuddy. Lucas was reliable and dependable and genuinely care for Rachel too. Lucas for Cuddy is joining the Order for Moira. Sure Chase and Moira might have fun run for some time, but the relief of the guilt she carried for the little boy dying while she was his nanny would have been gone. Fulfilling her postulant's journey for Moira is the path that brings her true peace, just as Lucas would have been the partner who truly brought Cuddy what she needed, even if it was NOT what she WANTED at the moment. House pleading with Chase was him telling Chase, don't take away Moira's peace (don't be another ME to her, the way I was to Cuddy).

@@victorpradha9946 AGAIN, you put onus on Stacey when it was House's decision to begin with therefore his own fault and responsibility as he himself admitted several times throughout the show! Give him some credit! And no, your take on Cuddy and Lucas is wrong. Moira decided she wanted the coven while Cuddy didn't really want Lucas in the end, and we also don't even know if he even was that ''dependable. NO, he is not talking about Cuddy here, he didn't take away anything from her, that was her choice, she's adult woman ffs. For all we know, she might have still left Lucas even if there was no House. Maybe because she didn't actually see her life with Lucas. He was talking about his leg and maybe about losing Cuddy.

@@tomsweeney7922 Stacey did nothing to House, she only fulfilled his own will. What was she supposed to do? Trick him? He was not his mother, it was HIS decision.

This is one of my favorite episodes and this song put a spell on me the very first time I heard it. It is my favorite musical sequence in the entire series.

Not exactly. House told Vogler he was going to fire Chase in Season 1 because he assumed he was Vogler's mole and wanted to prove it. In reality, he didn't want to fire _any_ of the ducks (which is why he told Wilson he was going to call Foreman "a spade" and grab Cameron and Chase's asses. 😂)

If you watch the full episode, house was trying to catch Taub off guard

One of the best parts of the series, lol. He didn't get tackled, he got sacked out of his shoes. It's literally hilarious. Pretty sure House hired a janitor to do that. A lot of people think it is House. It's not, lol. It's one of the funniest parts of the entire series. It's funnier if you know it's a janitor.

Chase has never been too smart with the ladies.

Actually, Chase, who has been emotionally spiraling since Cameron left him (and whom Chase had been the one pursuing and persuading into the relationship), has been bouncing from one meaningless fling to another. The episode began with a woman in Chase's bed who doesn't even know that Chase is a doctor (or how Chase got injured), and who noted how they really didn't do much talking the night before. It reveals how alone and empty Chase really feels. In Moira, he finally found a deeply affecting connection. Chase really bonds on multiple levels (physical, emotional, even spiritual) with Moira. As he saved her life, he felt a strong compulsion to build a new life with her. He THOUGHT that she too wanted a fresh start. THIS is why he thought to disabuse Moira of the notion that her "vision" was just adrenaline and neurons firing, even though he initially played it off as something meaningful and significant (as he hoped the vision would bring Moira some peace). When Chase saw Moira quietly praying, he understood that THIS was the path she chose and who she is. Chase realized that she wasn't looking for a fresh start...a new beginning, but rather that she was running away from her guilt and regrets. And when she ran towards Chase, Moira was simply running away from her doubts and fears. In the final scenes together, Chase realizes that Moira was finally running TOWARDS something, with eyes open (regardless of what Chase believes) and that in running towards Moira, Chase too was running away from something...HIMSELF. The loneliness, the emptiness, the disconnect he felt within himself. He could not deal with the fact that perhaps Cameron never really WANTED to be with him, that he had pursued her and prodded her and persuaded her and charmed her into marrying him. That left Chase feeling as if he wasn't worthy of being loved. Moira disproved that. She genuinely felt something real for Chase. And if Chase genuinely felt something for Moira, he wouldn't strip the life she had chosen of meaning for HER! He realized that in his desperation to fill the void in his life, he was willing to subject Moira to a kind of void, even if she would be WITH HIM. He realized that he was using the "truth" to buttress the illusion of happily ever after that Chase so desperately want to make happen...even if accomplished by force and manipulation. Seeing Moira silently praying (at the end of the episode) revealed to Chase that House was RIGHT... Chase would be doing something "stupid and stubborn" that very likely would "blow up" his life and leaving him "miserable and lonely".

No, he is simply right. This religious indoctrination is exactly what it is. Relating ambiguous bullshit to something written in a fairytale book.

I they got bigger shares in syndication.

Is that why Olivia left?

@@num1Jaysta On another House YT vid, a comment related that Olivia Wilde who was blowing up (cinematically) wanted more money. The network negotiated with the showrunners and cast to cut everyone's salary to accommodate this. But then Lisa Edelstein was NOT having it. Wilde, allegedly due to her "production schedule" for her other projects ditched the show. Edelstein's dynamic with the showrunners and network soured. They wrote her off the show. The network apparently held everyone to the reduced contract amounts that they agreed to despite the departure of Wilde and Edelstein.

@@victorpradha9946 Pretty unlikely turn of events. But stranger things have happened.

@@victorpradha9946 Interesting if so and a shame. The one thing missing from the finale was Cuddy at his funeral (at the very least).

I disagree. What we have here is great acting and excellent writing. I'm rewatching all 8 seasons again when I run out of RU-vid clips. 😊❤

Remember in ER the fallout from Carter getting stabbed ran for 2 seasons, and House is a crapload better show.......

If you go back to the episodes, they actually show - subtly - that a lot of time has passed since the stabbing, throughout the stabbing episode. This episode further confirms the time passage.

@@basedigor ER is way better, but that is just my opinion :D But the stabbing came up few times in ER after that. The outfall was even part of the plot during the last season.

That's not what he was talking about though. Or at least not the only thing. The main stupid stubbordn decision was not to give surgeons amputate his leg which made to his life in pain and his subsequent embitterment. Also, House was miserable even before Stacey returned AND he had a chance at/brief time of happiness with Cuddy.

@@yevgeniyaleshchenko849 yep

Every time I watch it, usually around 2 or 3 AM, I'm left in awe of the acting, the writing, the directing and even the lighting and editing. It all came together so well. THIS episode is the penultimate moment in Chase's character arc on the show generally, but also more specifically the arc that begin with Chase essentially persuading Cameron to marry him (Saviors & Under My Skin), then later his actions in the Tyrant, then Teamwork, Lockdown, Chase, and finally Post Mortem. Chase has abandonment issues thanks to his father (Rowan) just taking off and finding happiness with another woman, leaving Chase to care for his alcoholic mother and young sister. His mother later dies of her alcoholism, leaving Chase to tend to his younger sister. A disillusioned Chase joins the seminary because of all this, the lack of meaning, the feeling of being abandoned, lost and adrift. Chase leaves the seminary because he yearns for something more empirical than faith. Like his father, Chase is drawn towards the tangible, evidence based discipline of Medicine, and in fact, becomes quite the surgeon too. Chase is both a man of Faith and a man of investigation...of inquiry. He is also left with the ever-persistent lingering doubt that he's not enough. He strives frequently for House's approval. And while women seem to fall at his feet given how good looking he is and that Aussie accent of his and of course his attractive profession, he goes after a very coy Cameron who plays a rather manipulative game of cat and mouse with Chase. Ostensibly she begins a sexual relationship with Chase, first because she's high, but later because she's trying her level best to provoke House romantically and get House to view her in a sexual way. She even goes so far as to get caught by House, mid coitus with Chase in the hospital maintenance closet. Chase always felt like he was 2nd fiddle to House with regard to Cameron. And in many ways, he was. He knows that he's always been the one to plead, and coax, and implore Cameron into their relationship and marriage. By contrast, Cameron negotiated her return to House's team on the condition of getting a date with him. When Chase and Cameron finally do get married, he wants to be on House's team. Cameron is not nearly as keen on this, as she doesn't like that House slammed the door shut on her romantically and yet pursued things with Stacey which told her that House is capable of romantic feelings, just NOT with her. In Tyrant, Chase does the unthinkable. When he later tells Cameron, but in effect feels no genuine remorse or guilt or shame for what he did, Cameron wants to leave the hospital. Chase has other ideas. He then pretty much declares that he wants that spot on House's team and he does NOT want to leave the hospital. Chase signals that he done "chasing" Cameron and in effect doing her bidding. She leaves him. Just like his father left him, his mother left him... Chase feels unworthy of love. And we see that Chase has a series of meaningless hook-up. He basically avoids connecting with someone else for fear of being abandoned. His hook-ups are a way to feign intimacy without the risk of rejection. This then is the moment we see Chase at the beginning of the episode of this video. Chase's guard is down, and he's literally recovering from a wounded heart. He sees this beautiful, vulnerable, young postulant about to take her final vows to an Order that doesn't allow even basic human touching like holding hands etc. He sees her choosing to severe her connection with the rest of humanity and see himself...disconnected as he feels he is from others. He wonders about her reasoning, given her youth. He discovers that she is running away from the pains of her life, not entirely unlike Chase has done in running away from the seminary and now contemplating doing the same with his practice of medicine. The episodes offers a deep psychological dive into Chase, through his journey with Moira. Moira is riddled with doubts, and feels this kindred connection with Chase. It's mutual and they connect emotionally and then physically. Chase gets to rescue her, he gets to heal her. He feels of value to her. He feels worthy of her. And Moira feels in Chase a kind of release from her fugitive journey in joining the Order. Chase feels for the first time that he's actually running towards something , real and tangible. Moira too feels a sense of relief in not feeling like she's running away in becoming a postulant and trying to hide from her deep deep regret and guilt and yes even shame. They become each other's refuge from the emotional solitude of their lives. But just as Chase was saving Moira, and in fact, likely because of the way Chase brought her out of anesthesia to question her during the procedure, Moira has a vision. That vision is of the boy whose safety and care she was charged with and who tragically died accidentally during her watch. This was the pain that Moira was running away from in becoming a postulant. This vision gave Moira peace; she felt forgiveness. It changed the way Moira felt about her joining the Order. She no longer felt like she was running from life and hiding in doing so, but that she was moving towards something meaningful...she felt a calling. Now to win her back, Chase would have to void that feeling/experience in Moira. He would have to negate her sense of peace and purpose and meaning she feels. For Chase to win Moira back, he would have to doing something the would render him unworthy of her love, he would have to disabuse her of the feeling of meaning and purpose she found. The cruel irony of fate is that Moira was likely dying when she came to the hospital and met Chase. He was falling in love with a woman he might actually lose and soon. By saving Moira's life, Chase loses her in his life. Something interesting happens though, Chase is not left feeling unworthy. He isn't feeling abandoned. He has learned to let go. Moira too realizes what Chase has done. When Chase re-enters House's office as the team is DDXing the next case, House and Chase exchange very meaningful glances. Chase is like the prodigal son returning to his father's home. And House's subtle nod to Chase is him affirming to Chase that he will ALWAYS have a seat at his father's table. Chase's look to House was a declaration that THIS is where I belong!

Writers oftern were realistic on this show at least in the depiction of human relationships, regrets and difficult choices.

Good.

It should be required reading for everyone who has a near-death hallucination.

In my own view, nothing good would come from deflating the importance of what Moira drew from whatever dream/vision or NDE she had--not "now" and not later! For House the truth is ONLY important (when it comes to his patients) when it's diagnostically relevant. Otherwise, he really couldn't care less, for the most part. He truly does loathe individuals who lie to exploit others like the young minister who ultimately was proven to have syphilis but used his keen observational skills and deduct reasoning to claim that he was "talking to God". House also harasses Taub for his duplicity and it's NOT diagnostically relevant, except that he genuinely seems to be both intrigued by Taub's otherwise appealing nature and bothered by his unfaithfulness to his wife. That said, even House told Chase, let her have her delusions...using the truth here accomplishes nothing of real value. If she reads this 3 years down the road, she will either feel like she wasted 3 years of her life, OR will dismiss this is medical/scientific inability to decipher one the great mysteries of life. In either instance, Chase will likely be perceived by Moira as either a smug, condescending know it all who is blowing up the meaning she has found in her life OR a selfish guy who wields the truth as a weapon, trying to somehow declare medical science has possessing all the answers while devaluing faith.

Yeah always love his character evolution by design is very unique

Same with Chase

He was in charge. He was pranking Chase, and thereby distracting him. He cultivated an atmosphere where Chase felt comfortable defying his orders and going off on his own. He ordered a test in which a psychotic break (from a patient who had already demonstrated violence during such a break) was 1 of 3 outcomes, and apparently didn't do security prep for it (they could at least have had security on the door). Chase was directly to blame, but House is supposed to be managing a team here.

3 months late but I believe Taub was taking self defence classes which House believed was stupid. The whole idea of having Taub tackled was because it would be an unexpected attack, therefore not even self defence could have prevented it

@@loyalfish7330 You're a real G.

@@loyalfish7330 Here, House is not correct. Part of self defence is situational awareness. If Taub had any awareness of his surroundings, he would have known and heard the tackler was coming. All he would have had to do was quickly bend down and the tackler would have gone right over him, with Taub then rising up quickly to basically toss the guy. Not hard to do. So, just because Taub is not really that good with his self defense yet, House is quite wrong to think self defense is stupid. Thanks for explaining it with your comment! :)

I'm right there with you on this. One of the strongest "hours" of television I have watched. But what makes it so great is that Chase has gone through a tremendous journey (detailed in my lengthy comments on this same YT vid board), and THIS gives an incredible level of depth and texture to Chase's journey. The silent and extremely subtle nod between Chase and House at the end carried paragraphs of unspoken dialogue between the two.

Yes but he wanted someone to blame. Reminds me of Cameron blaming House for Chase killing the dictator.

That’s Taub. You should check out him and Foreman getting high on Vicodin.

It was a side-plot of this episode, House pranking Taub.

just ignore him

Foreman as The Man. Who'd have thought.

I wish it ended 1,5 seasons earlier than it did :p

Probably not. The actor quit Chicago Fire because he was fed up with the 18 years of none stop filming for a TV show, first House for the 8 years and then 10 years of Chicago Fire. I can understand being fed up with doing TV shows.
