And Cuddy referred to “our room,” as if they’re staying together in the hotel. **ftg** above in Post 33 thinks he’s a ruse (to make House jealous?) or just a friend. Or Cuddy has given up on House because he’s not steady enough and she needs a reliable man because she has a child now. Lucas seems steady, so she’s seeing him, though she really has the hots for House.

I said it in post #19. Harumph. I changed my mind when I saw him playing around with the baby while House watched from the upper balcony, though.

Yup! I wasn’t paying that much attention to the episode, but I heard that and was deeply amused.

If by “ridiculous” you mean “spectacularly awesome”, then I agree. 😃

And thanks, **Southern Yankee** –it shouldn’t surprise me that the _Simpsons_ reference occurred when I was least likely to be paying attention to the words coming out of people’s mouths.

I don’t think Cuddy would have lied to House about it, if it were just baby-sitting.

The way the kid was familiar with him leads me to think the kid has experience with him. That the kid had experience with him… that he had been at least hanging around Cuddy and her kid, if not boinking Cuddy.
