Non spoiler warning: I've read nothing whatsoever on
what others have written on this subject, probably months ago when the
ep was first broadcasted - I just checked the episode transcript.
Oh god. Oh god. Oh god. He kissed her. She kissed him. More: she said she loves him! Ohmigod what happened? Did House MD just jump the shark? Out goes the willing suspension of disbelief.
WTF made the writers cave?
The feelgood factor is immense: knowing that Greg will bone Cuddy after all feels like poetic justice, now that we have come to know him as a damaged, suffering but basically good person. Gosh. I'm confused. And happy. So happy. Remember when Mulder and Scully kissed? I was delighted. Once the epitome of unresolved sexual tension, next loving parents. The sex remained implied. No way this is gonna happen here: for sure Greg will get his share of hot happy sex in season 7.
Is what the writers sold us in this final ep outrageously unreal? After 5 seasons of sarcasm, cynicism & hurt, they did take a new path. At the outset of the season House had hit rock bottom and then we got to know him as someone who tries to make amends. He's changed for sure. He even asked for help. Explicitely so. The first sentence Greg utters in the first ep ("Broken") is "Help me" and that exactly is the title of the final episode. We've come full circle; from hallucination to reality.

The whole thing - I think - revolves around the karmic notion that "good intentions pay off". The book - a selfless gift - is symbolic, it triggers a change in Cuddy. One which I find hard to believe. (Has she gone mad? She's a mom with a reliable partner. Why would she give up the balance achieved?) But that's just me. I get the ploy.
I want them to have fun. Huddy fun. Yep.
