Son of a Coma Guy: Unconditional Love is Cutting Your Heart Out
Son of a Coma Guy is leading up to the climax of the Tritter arc of House season 3, only two episodes before Finding Judas, where Wilson betrays House and makes a deal with Tritter, an action that ultimately dissolves their relationship until Season 4. The episode starts with a unique structure, with no patient cold open. Just House having lunch with two patients in comas. Wilson barges in and yells at House for “forcing him to lie to the police” that House didn't steal Wilson’s prescription pad and forge his Vicodin prescriptions. This is all in the first minute of the episode, setting up the intricacies of House and Wilson’s relationship that will soon get pushed in the later events of the season. 
Wilson is characterized as a person who is selfless, giving, loves to be needed, and will do anything in his power to help people he cares about, especially House. House does something that should rightfully break this friendship: put Wilson’s career on the line and possibly send himself to prison. Wilson is mad at House for only thinking about himself and putting himself in jeopardy. Wilson isn’t mad at House for using him and his kindness. House always does this. Wilson likes being used. In reality, Wilson is scared for House, not himself. He lied to Tritter to protect House. House didn't force Wilson to lie for him. Wilson did it anyway. The ultimate act of loyalty and care, the ultimate sacrifice. This is all read between the lines, of course, and this important revelation in the opening of the episode sets up the actions and importance of Son of a Coma Guy. 
We are then introduced to the titular Son of a Coma Guy, Kyle Wozniak, who has a seizure when House induces one. Kyle discusses his medical history and his family history. He says that his dad never liked his mother’s side of the family, and he was raised by a guardian. He only visits his father, who is in a coma. House wakes up his comatose father, Gabriel Wozniak. The last thing he remembers is the fire that killed his wife, something that is revealed to have been caused by Kyle later in the episode. House and Wilson discuss Gabriel. House argues, “Maybe he just doesn’t like his son. The delusion that fathering a child installs a permanent geyser of unconditional love.” Wilson interjects with, “Maybe your father’s feelings were conditional. Not everyone-” House cuts him off, “Yes, of course, that would play into your romantic vision of-” Wilson says, “In terms you would understand, we have an evolutionary incentive to sacrifice for our offspring. Our tribe, our friends. Keep them safe.” To which House replies, “Except for all the people who don’t. Everything is conditional. You just can’t always anticipate the conditions.” Wilson’s argument here mirrors his actions at the start of the episode, sacrificing himself and keeping House safe from the consequences of his actions, even if he deserves them. House says that maybe Gabriel’s relationship with Kyle is conditional, that love and sacrifice can never be unconditional. Referencing his abusive relationship with his father and his perception of love. That it always has to have a catch. This is really important in understand House and Wilson as characters, and especially in their relationship. Wilson views love as being programmed, an innate thing you’re evolutionarily destined to have. House views love as something you earn, something you get, something that has conditions. Wilson might have a romantic vision of love, but his love life is just as unhealthy as House’s. Constantly putting people’s needs in front of his own, sacrificing himself for House, which is left unnoticed and unappreciated by House. Someone who views this sacrifice as conditional when, in reality, it isn’t. This is the dichotomy of House and Wilson. 
House fulfills Gabriel’s last-day request of getting a sandwich and needs Wilson’s car for a road trip to Atlantic City. Wilson of course, lets him have it but decides to come with them. House keeps questioning Gabriel so Gabriel makes a deal with him that for every question House asks, Gabriel asks him one too. Gabriel asks House if he’s ever been in love, House says yes. Says that they met when she shot him in paintball, talking about Stacy. Gabriel asks if House has ever loved anyone else and House deflects saying, “no more questions” but Wilson is of course in the car with them. House doesn’t want to admit that he 1. Either loves Wilson or 2. Is capable of loving Wilson since this would prove his conditional love theory, that he loves Wilson only because he selflessly gives House what he needs. 
In the hotel in Atlantic City, Wilson asks House why he used his pad, not Cameron’s Foreman's or Chase’s. Wilson says that it’s because his association with House is voluntary. That he chooses to be close to him. “Any relationship that involves choice you have to see how far you can push before it breaks. And one day our friendship will break and that’ll just prove your theory that relationships are conditional and you don’t need human connection or deserve it or whatever goes on in that rat maze of your brain.” House deflects this, of course. Incapable of being truly honest about his feelings at this stage. House, throughout the show has a deep insecurity about deserving love, deserving to live, and deserving to be happy. Wilson’s unconditional loyalty to him pushes against this. Yes, there are moments when their relationship wavers but it never truly fully breaks. He always comes back to House and in the end, he relies on House. House is all Wilson has, and Wilson is all House has. Son of a Coma Guy is the first proof that House can bend Wilson and his relationship and Wilson will bend with him. Their social contract of push and pull. Bending but never fully breaking. 
House questions Gabriel about his family history, eventually determining the illness that is inherited throughout their family. Gabriel asks House why he became a doctor, and he decides to be honest with him. Saying that when his father was stationed in Japan he went to one of the hospitals as a kid and he was inspired by a doctor, a buraku, one of Japan’s untouchables. Someone whose ancestors were slaughterers and gravediggers, he wasn’t accepted by his staff, but they needed him because he was right so nothing else mattered. Gabriel is asked about the fire that killed his wife, and he explains that Kyle when he was 12, knocked over the kindling which started the fire. He didn’t blame him because he was just a child and it was an accident. Gabriel isn’t with him because he blames himself for failing to keep his family safe. He couldn’t stop the fire and save his wife. He doesn’t want to see his son die too. This goes into Wilson’s evolutionary love argument. Gabriel loves his family so much that he can’t bear to lose them, to fail to protect them.
Gabriel decides to perform the ultimate sacrifice, to give Kyle his heart to save him. House decides to go along with it, telling Gabriel how to kill himself so that the heart can be saved, by hanging. Before he aids Gabriel, he asks Wilson to leave the room. Wilson says no, but House says, “You’ve lied to the cops enough for me. Maybe I don’t want to push this until it breaks.” To which Wilson leaves, accepting that House appreciates his sacrifice and is willing to put himself on the line for someone else. Something that House rarely does. Gabriel asks House if he could hear one thing from his father what would it be? To which House says “I’d want him to say You were right. You did the right thing.” What this is truly about we don’t know and never really find out but House’s abusive relationship with his father isn’t truly revealed until One Day One Room a few episodes later, which puts new context to this line. House has to kill a father who loves his son so much, even though he accidentally caused the death of his wife, that he is willing to sacrifice his heart for him. Gabriel unconditionally loves his son, but House’s father’s love was conditional. This is what Wilson argued previously. Gabriel is willing to sacrifice his heart, (do I have to mention Wilson’s Heart) also mirrors Wilson’s sacrifice at the beginning of the episode. Both Gabriel and Wilson prove their unconditional love. Wilson wordlessly sets up House’s alibi for him and they wait together for Gabriel to die. When Gabriel’s heart saves Kyle, Kyle asks House for any message from his father, something to give him closure. House tells him what he wishes his father would have told him. “Right about what? What does that mean?” Kyle asks. “How would I know? He’s your dad,” House tells him and leaves.
“You know what I learned about this case?” House asks Wilson at the end of the episode. “That it proved that people can love unconditionally and you can tell yourself it’s not true, but you’ll just end up in a hotel room in Atlantic City asking someone to cut your heart out?” Wilson says. 
Son of a Coma Guy is an episode about unconditional love and sacrifice. Gabriel and Wilson are the givers, those who sacrifice their hearts (literally and not literally) for the people they love. Kyle and House are the takers. Those who don’t think they deserve the love they receive but are forced to take it. Kyle, to live, House for growth. I adore this episode and it is a prime highlight of House and Wilson’s relationship and the peak of House’s writing.

hyperfixations really make boring activities much easier, for example i was in a long car ride yesterday and thought about vashwood and before i knew it 4 hours had passed. the downside is when they make you cry in your car

“What’s it like to be you, Jester?”
Oh what a question.
“Do you enjoy your life, what you are and what you do?”
There’s no easy answer.
“Jester, are you happy?”
Happy?
I spin my baton around and around until my fingers feel numb. I twirl the colorful stick until it feels like a task I can never stop. The repetition is blinding and soothing against the harsh thoughts of my mind.
My head tilts lazily towards the girl sitting on a plush bench only a few feet away. My eyelids are drooping and the hat on my head threatens to slip off onto the ground.
I sigh and close my eyes to shield them from the icy coolness of the air in this room. Or maybe I’m avoiding this girl’s gaze. My baton keeps spinning and I’m lost in the action of it. When I hear the girl pick up another cookie from the tray on the table, I blink my two-toned eyes back open to give her the satisfaction of my attention.
I can’t focus on talking while spinning this baton, so I catch it and lazily toss it into the holder in the corner of the room. It spins as it flies and my eyes follow its fleeting trail until it lands in its destination, next to other batons that look identical in shape but wildly different in color.
“Well, princess, is that something you should ask a lowlife like me? I am but your humble court jester.”
“Jester, please, I’m curious.”
The girl breaks the cookie she had grabbed in half and tosses me the piece she deems as smaller. I catch it above my head without a second thought and take a small bite. The baked sweet melts in my mouth and the prickle of something acidic stings my tongue. She takes a bite of hers as well and licks her lips with a small smile.
“Why don’t you call me my name, princess?”
“Why don’t you call me mine?”
I laugh, a sound closer to a giggle, and my eyes blink shut with the action. I swing my legs up and set them on the table crisscrossed, not making a single sound in the process. I feel weightless, like a ghost. I recline backwards in my seat to achieve a little bit of a higher level of comfort.
“Well, simple; it’s so much more fun to call you princess.”
She blinks at me with a hint of surprise and smiles. The girl laughs, her mouth curling up and showing her teeth in the prettiest way. A way that a princess would never do in front of her subjects.
“Well, Jester, I don’t know your name. You’ve never told me.”
“Have I not?”
My hat finally slides off the top of my head and hits the couch with a muted thump. It’s hard to even notice that it happened. It distracts me for a moment and I can barely recall what we had been talking about just seconds before. Has it been seconds? Maybe it's been minutes. Maybe hours.
“Tell me your name Jester, I bet it’s beautiful.”
I smile, wide, to the point my gums start to burn with the tug of my lips. Maybe my face is ripping itself apart, tearing a line from my dimples to my ears. A breathy laugh slips out of my lungs that stains the air with chocolate and butter.
“Oh, princess, nothing about me is beautiful.”

Suetonius's sources: Tiberius was left handed and was quite athletic.
Suetonius: He had a strong left hand, supposedly strong enough to crack the skull of a child or perhaps a young man, knowing his tastes...
Later historians: Suetonious says that Tiberius was so strong he would crack a guy's skull with his bare hand! He has supposedly done that once, because someone insulted his hair.
YouTube historians: SHOCKING FACT ABOUT ANCIENT ROME AND GREECE #69420!! DID YOU KNOW THAT TIBERIUS ONCE CRACKED A GUY'S WITH HIS BARE HANDS BECAUSEHE INSULTED HIS HAIRSTYLE?!?!?!? WHAT A CRUEL FUCKED UP EVIL MEANIE MAN!!!!!!
Tumblr history meme: lol, do you ever get a bad hair day and decide to squash a guy's skull? mood lmao
