I totally nailed that House had hired the kid! As soon as he asked Wilson if he had any prosciutto, I turned to the spouse and said, “House hired that kid. You wait and see.”
If you didn’t nail that the moment the kid was mentioned, you must be new to House. 
Without rollover space You can see that spoiler from the front page 
Heh. Yeah, you’re probably right. But let me have my moment. 
Oh! I’m sorry. I thought just putting it in the spoiler box would be enough. Maybe a mod would be kind enough to add some space? Thanks, and again, apologies.
If you place brackets around the entire body of OP text, it won’t appear in a mouse over.
Silly me for thinking that the so-obvious-fake-kid was going to be something else at the reveal. I just can’t see Wilson failing to figure it out, seeing as how there’s usually several layers of misdirection involved in their antics.
Next week it looks like they’re going to be doing “Lars and the Real Girl”.
Regarding the actor-child:
Why has Wilson not yet murdered House?
That was my take. Having House hire him to fool Wilson was toooo obvious, and I was expecting something more nefarious. So they fooled me by hiding in plain sight!
As for seeing through the ruse that House pulled on Wilson, I was too busy trying to decide if the kid was related to Gael García Bernal to notice the gag. (I still don’t know…)
My guess? Because he was secretly (or maybe subconsciously) relieved that it turned out to be a fake and thus he didn’t have to have the kid move in with him.
I agree with this. After Wilson ordered House and the kid out of his office, his laugh sounded rather relieved. I knew without seeing the scene at the end that Wilson wouldn’t end his friendship with House over this.
My wife and I have come to the conclusion that Wilson is every bit as much of a sick-o as Gregory House is, it just manifests in different ways. ymmv but it does help explain why they remain buds.
I think that is overstating it. Wilson is certainly not the total exemplar of mental health in that he clearly seeks out people who need taking care of to be friends with which is why he is so close to House. And also at least one character has commented that he is not as nice as he seems. But he does not approach House in terms of self-destructiveness or meanness.
That’s why I said ymmv. 
Possibly overthinking this, but…it seemed odd that a child actor (or the actor’s guardian) would consent to going to an unknown adult’s apartment for dinner, alone and unsupervised.
In fact, although I had guessed the kid was an actor during the initial coffee shop scene, I started second-guessing that when Wilson and the kid were alone together. It just didn’t seem like a situation that would be allowed to happen.
Not that “House” is a shining example of realistic storytelling, but this kind of bothered me for some reason.
You guys do realize that Wilson is in love with House, right?
I don’t likr House anymore. He is mean.
This is the last season and the series ends in less than a month. I’m baffled that I can’t figure out what they are building toward in the dénouement.
Had it been up to me, I would have rewritten the last episode of the sixth season (the episode where the woman’s leg is pinned under a collapsed building) and ended it last year. As I wrote then, I wanted the woman’s experience to prompt House to amputate his own leg, give up drugs and begin the path to healing his damaged psyche.
Back when the show was new, I toyed with the idea that Wilson was imaginary and that only House could see him, like in that movie that I don’t want to spoil with this post.
