#interestingly though none of the other Lawrence Kaplow episodes strike me as particularly hilson off the top

[oddlittlestories]

Personally, there are only two explanations

1. They (either the principle writer or someone on the team) intended Hilson to be read romantically

2. They (see above) wanted Hilson to be seen as equally important and life changing as a romantic relationship (which in modern nomenclature could easily be called queerplatonic)

Here’s one more reason I think it was deliberately door #1: in the last scene, I’m pretty sure Wilson is wearing his purple shirt.

You know. The purple shirt he wore “for someone” when he first started dating Amber. His date shirt. That he explicitly wore for House in this episode. This episode ALSO parallels (though in some ways falls short of) the waterbed episode, where Wilson’s romantic partner pushed him to get a furnishing he wants.

The framing, the costuming and the narrative all come together to heavily imply Hilson. I think it’s a reasonable conclusion to draw that it was on purpose.

S6E16 of House MD... The whole ass episode is about love and relationship. . . Except House and Wilson's story line. . ? I guess???? Like Wilson's personality is canonically poeple/House pleaser, and House asks him to buy furniture that represents who he is... he buys an organ for House.. HOW IS THAT NOT ROMANTIC YOUR HONOUR??? Like Taub's storyline is about showing his wife he loves her. The teenagers storyline is also about love, sex and relationships, and they could have easily made it a Huddy episode but they chose Hilson.. I cannot imagine a straight reason, like I'm a Hilson shipper for life, with a leniency for Hudson but... How can you even begin to explain this episode in a platonic, absolutely non-romantic way??? I am so confused by House writers.. 🤨
