If that's been your approach, I'm glad it's working. Canon has been better this year than last, but this is the first arc I've really found engaging. The other episodes were neither appealing nor appalling enough to write about.
I heard Wilson very clearly as I wrote this: patient enough, but not indulging House's self-blame, either. (He should have a very acute sense of how to deal with him, after all these years.) I loved the portrayal of House's brand of caring last night, and loved that Chase recognized it for what it was.
The look on House's face as he watched Chase in physio made it an imperative to bring Stacy into this: the parallel is too clear to do anything else. Of course, it doesn't extend so far that Chase is going to hate House for this injury (or not when I write him, anyway; I don't expect much from the PTB, since they seem to want to go in the 'Chase blames House' direction).
(It's been too long since we last chatted; I'll have to IM with you sometime soon.)
