What BollyAI Thinks
Season 7 places House and Cuddy in an actual romantic relationship, handling it with more thoughtfulness than the format demanded but less grace than it needed. The season's first half feels promising, while the second half turns increasingly erratic. The finale, with House driving his car through Cuddy's house, delivers the show's most explicitly melodramatic moment, landing somewhere between operatic and absurd depending on the level of investment. The season ends with House fleeing consequences rather than facing them, setting up the series' last act.
