"Stop looking around suspiciously. To answer your next two questions, no I am not there, and yes you are completely predictable."
What a way to turn an arguably stale formula right on its head. Amnesia aside -- which without any medical knowledge worth diddly, I am putting down to as shoter term loss as a result of the head injury/concussion and therefore not the anterograde a still-in-shock House self-diagnosed during the teaser -- to have House realise that the Patient Of The Week was just a fluke discovery and that the real patient was only important as a motivation for the entire case because it's freaking Amber!!! was stunning, both in theory and execution.
The flashbacks and hallucinations were spot on, and seeing the actual bus crash right at the end made everything that much more powerful, especially since it was the first time Amber was seen as a participant in the events that led to the amnesia in the first place.
I've been reading some of the reactions to this ep over on the TWOP boards, and I have to disagree with the people calling House/Amber affair. Right before telling Wilson that he did objectify Amber, House initially told Wilson that he did not objectify Amber. The character development in Don't Ever Change shows that House at the very least respects that Amber is important to Wilson. Yes, House slept with Crandall's girlfriend/fiancee, but that was partly motivated by his belief that she was not good enough for Crandall. This is not the case with Wilson and Amber.
From Don't Ever Change: "I've decided you could do worse than a female proxy for me."
I posted over in![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rainbowgoddess' journal that I seriously doubt this hypothetical House/Amber affair was the reason for them being on the same bus. To quote myself:
I'm going to go with either House and Amber happened to be at the same bar and got the same bus after, or one of the two followed the other to the bar, got into some Wilson-related conversation or argument, which resulted in Amber following House onto the bus.
Those are the two scenarios that make the most sense to me.
In short: This time next week -- the time I will be able to get my hands on the finale -- I am going to be at home. Where we have a crappy low bandwidth internet connection. I've seen the promo photos, people. That internet connection will die a painful death if it has to.
