House argues that a biopsy would be definitive and then Cameron would have to tell Cindy she is dying. Cameron tells House she wants to do a experimental procedure and House thinks it is pointless. He tells her he will not aprove the procdure. At this comment Cameron flies from the chair charging at House, and says that she has joined the bandwagon and hates him like everyone else.

Cameron is quick to reassure she has already made a donation to the TB cause. House mocks Dr. Sebastian and tells him to return to his room. Dr. Sebastian refuses. Then House turns to Cameron to say “Dr. Cameron tell the doctor why it’s not a good idea for the patient to be here” with expectations that Cameron would back him up. Cameron responds, “He’s an immunologist and a TB expert.” (Dr. Sebastian’s wishes over House’s) House then switches the subject to a funny smell in the room. Dr. Sebastian admits this is his body powder. House mocks Dr. Sebastian further, “Who thinks it smells like an elephant dung smoothie?” And Cameron shoots back “It smells okay to me.” This makes Dr. Sebastian laugh and riles up House further.

When they have reassembled in the conference table, Cameron tells House, “You were wrong,” House snarks back, “Hey I have feelings” and the says “Thank God you dragged him into a stairwell to get his heart racing.” Cameron is defensive, “We were taking the stairs; they keep them in the stairwell.” House orders an MRI. Chase and Cameron are talking during the MRI. Cameron confesses to Chase that Dr. Sebastian has asked her out. Chase said he’s shocked when a patient doesn’t ask Cameron out. Then Cameron admits that Dr. Sebastian asked her to go to Africa. Chase is shocked now and asks her, “Do you like him?” Cameron lists off the positives and Chase interrupts, “I take it you said no.” Cameron thinks Chase is accusing her of being hung up on the rule that doctors can’t date patients. But Chase interrupts her, “He’s not House.” The MRI is negative for anything but the TB test is positive. Now Cameron is in House’s office trying to convince him to treat Dr. Sebastian for TB. House is mad that she performed the TB test without his permission. House calls Dr. Sebastian a stubborn jerk and Cameron shoots back, “Maybe he’s not the only stubborn jerk.” This leaves House speechless for a second. Cameron presents additional symptoms that support the TB diagnosis and House states not everything points in that direction. Cameron points out that if TB causes any of the symptoms it would throw off their diagnosis. House stops arguing and agrees with her realizing that she’s right. Cameron goes to give Dr. Sebastian the pills and now the patient won’t take the treatment in protest.

House is even more certain that the issue isn’t TB. Then House tells Dr. Sebastian that if he doesn’t take the treatment for TB, he’ll perform and autopsy and make sure that the world knows it wasn’t TB. Dr. Sebastian agrees. After a few days of treatment and tests, the ducklings are in the conference room with House. The symptoms are bizarre. Cameron asks, “What else could cause low CSF sugar?” And House responds that he gets to ask the questions, because whoever asks the questions looks good. Cameron is dismissing all their theories, ending with “…and it’s not a tumor because the CT and MRI were both negative.” House turns around and says, “Which just leaves tumor.” And walks out of the room. Cameron quickly catches up to him, walking at his side. She starts complaining, “Why do you do this? Why do you ignore what I say like I’m not even …” House cuts her off with “Small tumor.” Turns out House needs to perform a test. Cameron counts down the sugar level and as it gets too low panics as Dr. Sebastian starts seizing. As Cameron goes to inject the sugar to reverse the situation, House blocks her hand.

This confirms the diagnosis and Dr. Sebastian has the surgery to correct the situation. At the end of the episode House and Cameron are walking out of the building together and he asks Cameron, if she is going to date Dr. Sebastian. Cameron tells him it is none of his business and then says “I don’t think so.” House says, “Two days ago you were holding his hand. What’s changed?” Cameron replies, “He practically lives in Africa, there’s no future.” House is looking at her, “On the other hand maybe there’s too much a future now.” House tells her attraction to Dr. Sebastian was because he was dying. Cameron jokes, “I put a label on him and go from there.” House says everyone does it saying, “We are who people think we are.” House tries to convince her that people who don’t know him don’t see him as an ass and treat his as an ass. But people who don’t know him see him as a cripple and treat him like a cripple. Then tells Cameron to watch his little test of this theory. At the end of the demonstration, House gives Cameron and I-told-you-so look. Cameron smirks. Then Cameron goes up to say goodbye to Dr. Sebastian and hands over his meds. Dr. Sebastian implies Cameron should deliver the refills in person. Cameron turns him down. Dr. Sebastian asks her, “You actually like working for House? You find this satisfying?” Cameron doesn’t answer him. He leans in to give her a kiss on the cheek and a hug and then leaves.

When the lecture is over it appears that Cameron was sent by House to collect the other ducklings back to the office. They notice Adam is having spasms in the chamber. Meanwhile, House is sitting at his desk, in the dark, as he injects himself with Weber’s medicine and then the nitroglycerin, Cameron walks into the office past the drawn blinds, “Adam had an orgasm.” House looks at her in confusion and says. “What? While he was …” At this moment he is interrupted by an acute migraine headache and slams the desk moaning, almost as if her were having an orgasm.

She asks him “What did you see?” House answers slowly, “I saw music.” Cameron assesses, “Sensory deception makes no sense. At this House goes “Shih!’ She realizes that he’s high and gets angry. “You took something.” Accusing him first and then shaming him “ The kid is fighting for his life! ” In disgust, she turns and leaves the locker room slamming the door behind her. The boys walk in and Cameron proceeds to tell them that House is high. At that moment House walks into the conference room, completely cured of the migraine and Camron is baffled. House tells the team he’s figured out that the patient is depressed. Cameron inquires, “He told you that when he woke up.” House quickly cuts her off, “Nope. He told me he pissed his pants and blacked out.” House has figured out the Adam’s brain has too much seratonin.

House replies, “Is everyone a tattle-tale.” At the end of the episode Cuddy shows up in House’s office asking him if he dropped acid. House asks her how she know about the acid and Cuddy reveals that Cameron was worried about him. Cuddy leaves while House pontificates on how the universe always settles the score. Cuddy asks “Does it?” House looks up to meet her eyes, “No. But it should.”

2x13 Skin Deep
This is the 15 yr old model episode. Cuddy gives the file to House. House visits the POtW first. As he leaves the room, Cameron is waiting for him. She reproaches House, "Since when do you voluntarily go to see patients?" House says have you seen her and Cameron comments that his interest is creepy. House instructs her to gather a history when doing the tests. During the initial diagnostic session after the tests, the guys are betting on whether POtW's breasts are real. Cameron tries to get everyone to focus back on her health. When House deduces PTSD from sexual abuse, Cameron says in disbelief, "That's your proof, she's good looking?" House gets the father to reveal that he had sex with her daughter. House walks into the lab triumphant, only to meet Cameron's smug gaze that it can't be PTSD because there are proteins in the CSF. However, he face falls when she finds out that House was right the father did sleep with her. The next scene shows Cameron telling House he has a moral obligation to call social services. House doesn't want to in case there are other secrets. Cameron blurts out, "If you are too distracted by pain..." And House explodes back at her that he is distracted by her case, slamming his cane in the process. Cameron is taken aback. And then goes to Cuddy. In the meantime, House has asked Wilson to complete an MRI on his leg to see why he is so much pain recently. Wilson starts in during the procedure, "House. This is God." Busy right now, can't talk during MRI, replies House. House offers, "Can we talk Thursday?" Wilson playfully replies, God has a plague that day and what about Friday. House replies that God has to check in with Cameron. Wilson responds, "Dammit! She always wants to know why bad things happen." At this point Cuddy interrupts. Meanwhile, in the lab Foreman supports Cameron's actions and Chase doesn't. House returns to his office, and asks Cameron if Cuddy has put a wire on her. Cameron asks House twice if she is in trouble. House tells her, "You did what you thought was right." (This is the same line that was used by Cameron to House in Role Model episode of Season 1) and then he says, "You can torture yourself all you want." The social services person comes in to interview and reports back to Cameron that both patient and father deny everything. Cameron goes in to confront the patient. The girl admits to seducing her father, as well as other people in her life to get what she wants (manipulation). The patient says everybody does it. Cameron says no they don't. Then the patient asks her if she's ever tried to get to a boss, professor. Cameron tells her she's smart. The patient replies "I am not that smart. I am that pretty." (Kind of harkens back to Pilot and House's speech about beauty) House meets up with Cameron in the hall, having figured out that the patient is pure estrogen. House has Cameron perform the MRI that locates the tumor. Cameron is stunned to find out that "she" is really a "he." And that "he" has cancer.

2x14 Sex Kills
Lots of H/C moments in this episode. In the conference room while discussing the case, House walks toward the board and doesn't even stop in front of Cameron but gestures for her to hand over the marker. When the POS is rejected for heart transplant, Cameron writes a letter and brings it to House. She tells him it's a complaint that the board was angry at House and that biased their decision. House tells her first that the board was right. Then he signs the letter. As he gets up to leave she asks him if he thinks the letter will do any good and he says no. Then House gives Cameron a special assignment to find all the dead people in the hospital from that day. We see Cameron running around after House with several charts. She is explaining the cause of age and the cause of death for each patient as she's trying to keep up with him. They both walk into the elevator. When House walks out of the elevator he tells her, "If you really loved me you'd find me a better corpse." When House realizes that the woman in the car accident may be a possibility he walks back into the elevator, and then winks at Cameron. Once the woman is declared dead, House goes back to his office. Cameron gets up from the desk when she sees House walking toward her in the conference room. House slightly outstretches his hand as she walks by. House asks Cameron how to spell the paitent's name. Immediately, Cameron assumes that House is going to hack into a confidential patient file - House asks if this is a problem for her. She doesn't reply. Then there was Cameron’s concerned look when House walks into the conference room, after getting kneed in the jewels by the dead woman's husband. Once House has established he wants to cure the dead woman, Cameron asks if he wants to cure death. House gives off a macabre laugh and Cameron shakes her head at his childish act. When Cameron returns from investigating the teacher (dead woman), House snatches the photo from Cameron’s hand before she finishes her explaination. He gives her a look of "not relevant, stop talking." Then when the transplant is about to take place, the husband confronts House wanting to know if they figured out what was wrong. House uses a euphamism and Cameron tels House is was kind not to tell the husband about the STD. To that, House responds that she has to tell the truth later. And Cameron gives him a look. This episode ends with Wilson knocking on House's door because Julie his wife had an affair.

2x17 All In

He assembles the team in his conference room. The moment House turns and sees Cameron in her red dress he inhales sharply and says "Woah!." It is a rare moment when House shows how Cameron impacts him in front of Chase/Foreman. Obviously, Cam's look shows that she was pleased with the effect. Because winning a hand of poker wasn't going to deter House from his intense focus to find out if this case mirrors Esther; BUT one look at Cameron and he's completely derailed from thought.

This is the episode with the very suggestive scene when Cameron comes out of the barricaded apartment to see House sitting on the chair. House moans about no one listening to him. House calls Cameron pathetic for trying to help Foreman even though she is mad at him. Cameron reveals that Foreman pricked her with an infected needle. House seems to think that this just reinforces his notion that she is pathetic. Done fighting with House Cameron tries to leave. She is stopped by House's cane which he forcefully thrust across her waist toward the wall. He slowly proceeds to get up from the chair and faces her head on saying ??? need to remember this ???

This episode focused on a 16-year-old Hurricane Katrina victim. She is suffering from hallucinations. This case comes to House through a former bandmate who recently found out the girl is his daughter. House is sure that the girl is scamming his friend.

2x24 No Reason
House is supposed to be hallucinating. It is his subconscious that is revealed to us. And Cameron is featured a few times.
House, believes in his subconscious that Cameron would sit by his bedside night and day without showering. She is shown patiently reading a book waiting for him to awake. He calls her pathetic for being so devoted to him. She deflects his sarcasm saying she was worried about him.
In the hallway, House challenges her to touch him. At some level he realizes a few things:
a)That they don’t touch because it is so charged.
This is interesting because at the end of the bet when Cameron hands over the money their hands did linger.
b)That she doesn’t really fight him back as much as the others or she deliberately does to see his reaction
That’s pretty much cannon although this season she has pushed back more
c)That she when he dismisses her advances and points out his perceived differences between them she backs down
The whole comment about I’m twice your size echoes the speech during Date of Doom when he says I’m twice your age.
I would say that it is interesting Cameron followed his logic to reveal why they need to look at the garbage. But Chase was doing it too.
Then, while munching on the fish taco sitting on the car, House reveals that Cameron points out the obvious to him all the time. That he shouldn’t be where he is because the stitches will rip again. When House mimics her voice it is to point out that the guy would have died.
Then there was the scene with Cameron on the operating table. An unbelievably suggestive scene hitting shippers squarely. House first looks at her face, and she is laying there in an open receptive and suggestive manner with hair spread out behind her head. He is staring at her face on screen and then maneuvers the instrument to caress her cheek. Next he takes the time to scan her torso on the television screen. He then pulls up the hem of her shirt to have the surgical instrument touch her bellybutton. This was very suggestive as House looks specifically to see Cameron’s facial expression, and imagines her to be enraptured on the television screen. He likes that he has this power over her. Then, House imagines himself positioning the surgical knife to cut her button and reveal a very lacy bra, symbolic of oh so many things. Her only response at that point was to say his name. (I was so hoping that she would use Greg). The tone used was quizzical I think because Cameron is used to House saying that he’s not interested in her so to have him make moves in the opposite direction would confuse her.
More to the point it is to Cameron that House turns to telling her to let Cuddy know to apply the ketamine for his pain because it has been getting worse (ala last weeks eppi).
