He said he wasn't going to die. What happened.

he died
protip: the heat suits from the power plant don't protect against the morgue anomaly
you just sort of explosively decompress

[Never mind that the protip is unrelated to beckett's death.]

Interesting, but bullshit. He specifically told me it wouldn't be him going into the morgue.

[ TRY AGAIN, FUCKER ]

i don't know what you want me to tell you, angelcakes
plans change
i was the one who was supposed to be going in
until graham cracker decided he wanted in
then lecter and beckett stepped over him
honestly, i'm pretty annoyed
this was my experiment

[Just going to play the complete asshole card.]

Mmhmm. Except after the conversation I had with Beckett, I'm fairly certain that he'd have told me if he was going to do anything dangerous. It's kinda relevant to what we were discussing. Just what are you trying to do, here?

oh, you caught me
i murdered him with the candlestick in the library

HOUSE.

[Well, she's going to be a problem. He needs to get her off his back for a little bit, at least. He switches to private.]

christ, you're annoying
he came down to help when i was fighting graham over the suit
i accidentally shoulder-checked him into a piece of rebar while i was trying to get graham off
can you drop it?

You asshole.

[ She's not going to cry. She's not. She's not. ]

It was an accident, and you still thought it was better to try and make me think Beckett lied rather than just freaking admit it? Seriously?

[ She still doesn't feel like she's getting the full story - too many unprompted details - but she's leaning towards this being a slightly twisted form of the truth rather than an outright lie.

Hmmm. Maybe -- ]

I think I deserve an apology. And then, yes, I'll drop it.

[ She knows that despite his Houseiness, House wouldn't willingly hurt or kill someone. So if it really happened, he might feel guilty enough to actually comply, right? ]

[House feels guilty, just not for the reasons she thinks. He shouldn't have let Beckett overhear, and he should have stopped Will somehow.]

it was an accident
why the hell should i apologize to you?
i'll apologizing to him when he gets back

[Can't pretend to give in too quickly.]

[ When he gets back. When. Not if.

Please. ]

I'm not asking you to apologise for the accident, I'm asking you to apologise for things you did deliberately. You made out that he lied to me, which would have disrupted my ability to grieve solely to benefit yourself. You lied yourself. Repeatedly. If he doesn't - if he doesn't come back, you could have left me believing that for the rest of my freaking life.

[He's actually not all that bothered by that. He's protecting Will for the time being. Just for effect, House lets the message lapse for almost two minutes, as if he's mulling things over, wrestling with them.]

i'm sorry

[ Okay, then. She still thinks he's hiding something, but nothing worth digging for. Especially not with Rhys and Enoch to look after.

She'll just have to interrogate the heckie out of Beckett if when he comes back. ]

Consider it dropped.

[Good. Damage control handled and he can stop responding to this.]

Well, shit. So much for that. Do you know at what point the decompression occurred? Are you sure it was decompression?

looked like it from where we were standing
it happened once the anomaly came out
which was at midnight
that's always when it comes

Did it touch him or was it entirely spontaneous? Was the suit left intact?

it grabbed him while he was in the suit
the suit got swallowed along with him
didn't see blood spurting everywhere, though
so...

Cool.

I'm sorry you had to see that.

i've seen worse
most of my patients are dying horribly when they get to my department

If you're going to tell me that you've seen your patients die of explosive decompression I'm going to have a lot of questions about your workplace.

i've had patients who swelled up like balloons and had testicles bursting and eyes popping out of their heads.]

[Technically, that patient had been in his head, but never you mind.]

limbs rotting off
bleeding from every orifice at the same time
skin sloughing off
i had this one patient
now this is actually cool
had a kid experiencing full-body intermittent shocks from radiation poisoning
picked it up from a plumb his dad gave him out of the salvage yard he owned
don't expect he'll be getting any grandkids
if you know what i mean

That's all pretty fucked up, yeah. You just take all the weird shit, or what?

i take the interesting shit
the rest of it's boring

I get that.
