Oops, got mixed up about the marriage. Indeed, he was never married, only going steady.
Oh, I thought you meant . . . that Cuddy had a doll, and was having delusions that it was a real baby. That could explain why she couldn’t connect with it.
That would make an interesting episode. Of course House would encourage the delusion, just for fun, but Wilson would confront her.
There was an episode where House and Stacy (in her capacity as the hospital attorney) went to DC (or Baltimore, perhaps) to a meeting with Medicare officials who had questions about House’s billing practices. They were snowed in at the airport and House had to help the team diagnose a patient by phone. At one point he wrote on a wall of the airport corridor in place of his beloved whiteboard.
How did she get medical proxy if they weren’t married?
House gave her power of attorney.
You know, there’s a short story on that theme in the Stalkers anthology. Well, at least you hope it’s a doll.
