i feel like s4e12 of House MD was supposed to be about House's bisexuality. Hear me out. So, the episode's secondary story is about House having a big problem with Wilson's relationship with Amber. He's obviously jealous and seems to care about Wilson, which is especially visible at the beginning of the episode when he goes to Amber's apartment and tells her to leave Wilson because House thinks she's only with him to get back her job and she's going to hurt him (kinda like Wilson did with Stacy in s2). Later, House follows Wilson and Amber to a restaurant, comes to a realization that Amber is extremely similar to him and walks out of the building like he's scared or shocked by this discovery.

I found this kind of odd and maybe out of character for him? If they wanted to paint a picture of a heterosexual narcissist i think they would turn this situation into a joke - House would make fun of Wilson for being attracted to a female version of House and it would probably just stay as a running joke for a couple of episodes. But that doesn't happen. House seriously looks disturbed and just walks out, runs away like he usually does in emotional situations. Next comes the "13 is bisexual" thing. I found it completely out of the blue. I get that the show is old and the understanding of bisexuality changed but still her conversation with Foreman was just weird and her sexuality didn't seem to me like a natural part of it.

At first, I just thought "Okay it's there, maybe they just didn't know how to bring it up more naturally, it's still fine". But then the "Why not date you?" scene happened. To me, this scene just confirms that 1) House is jealous of Wilson and 2) he doesn't want to believe that Wilson might be attracted to someone like him. And the whole "Well, if you'd looked at me with those flashing eyes before I was involved..." kinda says it as well. I get that it was supposed to be a joke from Wilson but to me, it highlights the fact House has some deep personal motives not to want his friend to be with anyone, let alone Amber.

By the end of the episode, House brings up 13's bisexuality again and accepts Amber as Wilson's girlfriend. The second one is described as a big sacrifice from House. Wilson even says that House knows he "could end up losing a friend".

The fact that the show deliberately mixed House's jealousy over Wilson with 13's outing to me suggests that the viewer should try connecting one with the other. On one hand, you have a male character obsessing over his friend's new relationship, desperately trying to stop it, while knowing that the girlfriend is just his "female proxy" and on the other hand, you have a character who's out of the blue outed as bisexual.

A lot of queer people go through the experience of seeing our crush date an opposite-gender version of ourselves or hearing that "if only you were a boy/girl" line. It might just as well be projection but I think that's what's happening here.

House is bisexual and he likes Wilson. As long as Wilson dates women who don't resemble him it's easy for House to accept that his friend is something unreachable. But when he starts dating Amber it hits too close to home, she's too much like him. The story makes more sense if House is jealous romantically and the show tries to push us in that direction by outing 13 as bi.

I lost my train of thought while writing this like 6 times but i hope what I wrote makes even a little bit of sense. Anyway happy pride month

the implications of don’t ever change being called don’t ever change when it’s the episode with the first verbal confirmation that house is naturally selfless when it comes to wilson… like yeah. sure. he won’t. he never does. he doesn’t need to.

House would treat two gay patients like shit and get sued for being homophobic and cuddy would go "he's not homophobic, he treats everyone like that!" which does not hold up in court so instead he's like how can I be homophobic when I have a boyfriend? Wilson stand up. Everyone would turn to Wilson (who had ZERO warning about this) and he'd stutter before glaring at House and stand "yes, House is unfortunately my boyfriend"

Then they'd walk out of the courtroom and Wilson would chew him out which House ignores. Cue 3 days layer when Wilson says House needs to clear up they lied about being gay to get him off (ha) and they're not actually dating because he is NOT getting any dates like this. House would walk into the hospital cafeteria and yell "ATTENTION EVERYONE. Doctor Wilson is not my boyfriend." Wilson would nod for 2 seconds before House follows up with "because we're engaged!" and Wilson can't even be mad because why did he think for 2 seconds that House would make it easy for him

House would try to use this as an opportunity to demand less clinic hours (think of it as a wedding gift) which he does not get because Cuddy knows exactly what's going on and she thinks it's hilarious but she needs his ass working

Cuddy: yeah? You two are a thing? How big is he?

House: 5.3 inches

Wilson: how the FUCK do you know that

one House styling thing i appreciate is how Amber’s appearance shifts slightly when she goes from being annoying fellow applicant and almost-antagonist, to Wilson’s gf who makes him happy going toe to toe w/House, who we’re prob supposed to feel warmer towards

when she’s an applicant her haircut looks sharper and more severe, she wears those headbands and pink tweed skirts, very preppy

she starts dating Wilson and her hair is softer and gentler, we see her in nice grey coats and Wilson’s comfy sweatshirt, all more approachable, and it has to be on purpose
