House admits that he borrowed the money to see how much he could borrow before Wilson refused. Fearing that his wife is angry with him for his latest infidelity, he instead finds out that she has been cheating on him. Wilson does manage a personal accomplishment. With House out with a patient and helping Wilson to keep Cuddy playing poker instead of checking out his activities, Wilson manages to win the oncology benefit poker tournament by slow playing a pair of pocket aces and beating a pair of kings.
After House returns from his convalescence after being shot and having treatment that removes his leg pain, he takes on the case of a former cancer patient who is confined to a wheelchair. However, Cuddy refuses permission, only to give the patient the shot herself. As if by a miracle, the patient immediately improves, showing House was right.
Wilson refuses, figuring that House is merely suffering aches and pains from overdoing his rehabilitation. The deception soon turns into a disaster. A police detective takes an interest in House after he sees House taking Vicodin in the clinic. He soon finds the faked prescriptions and asks Wilson about them. Wilson tries to get Allison Cameron to sign off on his prescriptions, but when House calls her away to work on his case, Wilson instead gives up his oncology practice.
Wilson accompanies House on a trip to Atlantic City with a former coma patient who House has temporarily revived. Instead, House turns the deal down flat. In order to keep the pressure on House, Cuddy and Wilson conspire to cut House off of Vicodin completely until he agrees to the deal. Instead House steals drugs from a patient and, even though Wilson reverses himself and stops cooperating, House nearly goes to jail until Cuddy perjures herself to convince the court the stolen drugs were only a placebo.
Wilson has to intervene once again when he realizes House is plotting to get nerve tissue from a patient who is insensitive to pain in an attempt to graft the nerve cells to his own. While House is away, Wilson takes over the team when a middle aged woman collapses in her own home. Fortunately, Chase comes through with the right diagnosis. House finally relents when he takes a lengthy period of time to solve a case. After the fellowship derby, House is sure that Wilson is not only dating someone, but someone House knew personally.
Wilson's relationship with Amber Volakis came as a surprise to everyone, including Wilson and Amber themselves. Wilson realized that because Amber shared many characteristic with his best friend that they might be able to have the same type of lasting relationship. He later admitted to House that one of the reasons he liked Amber so much was because, like House, she was so much fun to be with. He also enjoyed the fact that she was much more assertive than he was.
On Amber's part, she had deep seated feelings of inadequacy that drove her to demand respect and to excel to get that respect. In Wilson, she found someone who could both respect her and find her attractive and desirable at the same time. Unfortunately, the relationship ended in tragedy when Amber died as a result of kidney failure due to the pills she was taking for the flu. She was transferred to another hospital under the name "Jane Doe" but once House realized Amber was the dying patient, she was sent to PPTH where House and his team tried to save her life with little success.
Amber was put on life support, eventually succumbing to the organ damage but not before she said goodbye to Wilson.
In an attempt to reconnect with Wilson, House hires Lucas Douglas , a private detective. Lucas soon finds out that Wilson has stayed connected with everyone at the hospital except House.
House once again tries to confront Wilson about this, but Wilson blows him off again. He soon realized after the trip that he hadn't had any fun since Amber died until he and House were back together again. They soon reconciled and Wilson returned to his old job. After Lawrence Kutner dies, House starts hallucinating a vision of Amber and finally turns to Wilson for help.
House quickly detoxes from Vicodin, but refuses to deal with his underlying issues. Nolan and tries to enlist Wilson in the attempt. However, Wilson refuses to cooperate. House is soon reinstated and back doing diagnostic medicine. Wilson is astounded when House tries to re-form his old team, and is even more astounded when he succeeds. House is there for the rehabilitation as well, and Wilson soon regrets his decision when the friend goes back to his new girlfriend instead of his ex-wife.
Wilson remains supportive, even moving into a larger condo in order to give House more living space. In the process, Wilson decides to make a dig at Cuddy for starting a relationship with Lucas by outbidding Cuddy for the condo she wanted. Both of them try to get together with their new neighbor Nora , but she rejects them both.
When House demands that he decorate the new space himself, Wilson gets a decorator instead but gets House a thoughtful gift — a new electronic organ. Although he is supportive, Sam treats this as evidence that Wilson doesn't trust her and breaks up with him.
House is eventually released from prison and returns to PPTH where he gets a cold reaction from Wilson who then finally tells House he doesn't like him. After House asks Wilson to either punch him in the face or kick him in the nuts to get over his hurt feelings, Wilson chooses the former and agrees to bring dinner around to his place. The two repair their friendship. Things continue normally for a while up until Body and Soul where Wilson reveals that he has cancer, more specifically stage II thymoma which leaves House completely stunned.
Wilson goes for a "Hail Mary" cure, but although he survives the treatment, it doesn't work and both men realize he will be dead in no more than six months if he refuses further treatment.
When Wilson tells House he has no intention of spending the rest of his life in and out of hospitals, the two men get into a fight over it. Wilson goes back and forth over his decision, but in the end, House realizes that six months is better than nothing and accepts Wilson's decision.
House plans on spending his remaining time with Wilson, but one of House's pranks goes horribly wrong which results in the revocation of House's parole and his imminent return to jail. Unwilling to let that happen, House fakes his death and he and Wilson go on a trip across America together, intending to make the most of their time together before Wilson succumbs altogether. Wilson is by all standards one of the nicest people you could meet, as he has an unbelievable bedside manner and knows exactly how to talk to people.
He also cares deeply about others, sometimes even more than he cares about himself. Patients have been known to thank him after he tells them that they're dying. He has donated blood and even organs to his patients when they cannot find matches. In the Season 6 episode, Lockdown, Dr. Remy "Thirteen" Hadley teases him, saying that he's too much of a "nice boy". He is "incapable of turning away from any responsibility" and ultimately believes that "enduring pain for someone you care about" is what life is all about.
In contrast to his own personality and demeanor, Wilson generally finds friends in much darker and more dour people, such as his best friend House or girlfriend Amber.
In fact, House and Wilson are so very different from each other, that the close pair of friends can be said to be "polar opposites. This trait makes Wilson the only person who is willing to be with House on such a close and personal level of friendship. This is because of how much he cares about other people, resulting in him wanting to be as involved with them as possible. He has also demonstrated that he caves in to people's demands too easily and has trouble forming his own opinions.
In the Season 3 episode, Family, House lashes out at Wilson for leaving a major decision up to the parents of a patient, and when asked what he would recommend, he simply tells the parents that it's their decision.
Also, in the Season 4 episode, Living the Dream, his girlfriend, Amber Volakis, tells him that the reason that his previous marriages didn't work out was because he did whatever they wanted and he ended up resenting them. She also angrily tells him "don't you ever do that to me. In Season 8, Wilson even agrees to undergo debilitating chemotherapy in order to extend his lifetime for House's sake, despite not wanting the treatment for himself.
Wilson constantly enables House, including drug abuse and rude behavior, but on occasion stands up to him, usually for his own good, such as refusing to help him escape the psych ward in "Broken," or refusing to take the fall for a vandalism charge in Season 8. While Wilson is normally a calm, serious person, he does have a humorous and playful side, as well.
He has also proven many times that he is more than capable of outwitting House with such examples being during the Season 2 episode, Safe where Wilson successfully sawed through House's cane so that it broke when House put his full weight on it, in Not Cancer , having learnt that House had a private eye to spy on him, Wilson deliberately hired a prostitute for a short visit and planted drug paraphernalia in his own garbage and then in the Season 8 episode, Perils of Paranoia where Wilson successfully locked House in the bathroom.
Despite his kind, and sometimes humorous nature, Wilson does occasionally get in a cranky mood. This typically happens when House pushes him to his limits, or when his issues just become difficult to handle, in general. There have also been times where Wilson has expressed some outrage or anger towards Cuddy, House himself and even some of House's team, usually for some emotional failure. This usually manifests in him "going off" on them, but is usually brief, and he typically makes up with them quickly.
This happens a number of times with House. He also suffers from depression, for which he has been clinically treated. According to actor Robert Sean Leonard, he describes Wilson as "the saddest man alive Wilson also occasionally gets petty, such as with germs and keeping food safe, and with keeping his furniture clean. In the season 6 episode, "Open and Shut," this proves to be a challenge with his attempt to get back together with Sam. Wilson becomes annoyed when Sam puts the milk in the door shelf of the refrigerator, saying that it would be colder in the center, thus less likely to become spoiled.
Wilson originally tries to ignore his annoyance with Sam not being as cautious as he is, and says nothing to her about it at first. However, House notices and uses it to try to test and sabotage the strength of Wilson's re-emerging relationship with Sam, by off-setting the dishes in the dishwasher so that there's a big bowl on the bottom shelf that blocks the water from getting to the top shelf. Thinking that Sam also did that, and not knowing it was actually House's "testing", Wilson finally asks Sam if she could be more cautious with germs, and also if she could use a coaster with her drinks on his furniture.
Sam becomes surprised when he brings up and asks for all of that at once, though eventually becomes glad that, unlike before, Wilson is expressing his annoyances. However, Wilson's high standards for detail also prove useful. In the Season 6 Episode, "Wilson," he noticed that a Cancer patient, who was in remission, did not brag about his grand kids like usual.
While a seemingly minute happening, especially for a Cancer patient, Wilson thought that the patient's subtle increase of depression could be the result of new Cancer. Having done some tests as a result, there indeed was a newly formed, small Cancerous mass in the patient's lung, which didn't end up doing much harm, due to the very early catch.
Wilson was then congratulated for this finding, from his attention to detail, at a board meeting. His perceptiveness also helps him accurately interpret things that House is saying, including when House lies or denies his true motives, on many occasions. Wilson is a theatre geek who frequently references plays and musicals. Although he watches "trashy" tv with House - who prefers it as a distraction while he's thinking about a case or for pure entertainment value - Wilson loves classic cinema and puts up framed posters in his office for movies like "Vertigo", "Touch of Evil", and "Ordinary People".
The plots of those movies hint at insights into Wilson's character: a man on the verge of a breakdown who can't stop trying to save a woman he ends up losing; a flawed detective who walks with a limp; and an upper-middle-class family pretending they're coping with the loss of their oldest son while the mother emotionally shuts out her younger son who is struggling with his mental health and guilt in the aftermath.
The two friends are so close that gay references have been made to the relationship between the two characters of the show. During season 2 in "The Mistake" House has made a joke about the relationship between them "I'm gay!
Oh that's not what you meant. It would explain a lot, though: no girlfriend, always with Wilson, the obsession with sneakers Verne Gay of Newsday described House's love for Wilson as "touching and genuine. In an interview with E! In his relationships with women, Wilson is even more problematic. When the audience meets him in the pilot episode , he is in the middle of his third failed marriage.
Season 4 of House M. Although Taub genuinely loves his wife, willing to undergo a massive career change for her, Taub proves himself unable to remain faithful. Wilson enjoys the benefits of the halo effect: because he is handsome and charismatic, he is automatically regarded as a better person.
This ultimately hurts him because it means he constantly repeats the same mistakes. However, while Taub and Wilson are the same character type, they veer into opposite ethical ends of the spectrum. Taub never intends to cheat on his wife, but he also makes few efforts to avoid it. He is secretive in his affairs, keeping his partner ignorant of them. His honesty forces him to confront the consequences of his negative actions.
He has his flaws, but Wilson always demonstrates himself as someone willing to do the hard thing. His relationship with House is turbulent in the short term, but stable in the long term as it is the only relationship in both their lives that actually lasts through difficult times.
Wilson genuinely cares for House and is often willing to stick his neck out for his friend, defending House to the hospital board and to his fellow doctors every chance he gets. Most importantly, Wilson assists House in his attempts to recover from his opiate dependence. In season 6, episode 1, "Broken," Wilson draws clear boundaries by refusing to assist House in blackmailing the doctor in charge of House's treatment, but remains supportive throughout his recovery. Ultimately, when Wilson is diagnosed with terminal thymoma, House fakes his own death in the series finale, "Everybody Dies," and in his penultimate words of the show, House says, "I'm dead, Wilson.
