Just saw last night's house. *squee*
I am sad that Stacy is gone, but I was more or less prepared for it, so I suppose I will learn to accept it. Though I will greatly miss her character as well as the dynamic she brought to the show.
Obligatory attempts to rationalize House's reasons for telling Stacy to [essentially] leave him [again]:
Okay, so there was the sex, and he was all blinded by happiness, and was like, "Yay, I forgot how nice it was to be in love!" and then he realized that Stacy was not exactly on the same cloud there with him. This threw him for a loop and made him think. And then the crazy-ness with Mark, which threw him for a loop some more and made him think even harder. And then he realizes that though he was happy with Stacy before and is pleased to have that back because he's been very lonely [emo tear] he doesn't love her as much or at least in the same way as Mark obviously does. Further food for thought.
Cue Stacy being all "I'm gonna leave him and be with you foreverz!".
Cue House thinking (I can see the little whiteboard in his head, even.) - "She's going to do to him what she did to me. This will destroy him as I very well know, having been there. It will also cause her a heck of a lot of pain and suffering and I still love her and I don't want her to have to cause herself a feckload of pain to be with me, especially since that will probably end up driving us apart. Plus, we would probably end up breaking up anyway - so why cause all this pain and suffering for a bunch of people, including myself - when I can cut this all off now and cause the least amount of pain for everyone. While this does hurt both me and Stacy to some extent, it's not nearly as bad as it would be if we actually got into a proper relationship again and fell back in love with each other. Right now we're just riding high on old feelings that never quite got settled properly and we still like each other - but that is not enough to base a relationship off of."
Cue end of thought process. And it may have been a little bit of wanting to be miserable like Wilson said, but not because he wants to cause himself as much pain as possible. No, instead it's that he'd much rather have the constant level of pain that he's used to [cue infarction metaphor] rather than risk brief happiness followed by a rapid decline into even more pain than before. (this is my epiphany of the day)
Perhaps everything might have worked out for House and Stacy and that decline would never come - but House can't make himself believe in perfect happiness and I doubt the thought ever even seriously crossed his mind.
Anyway, that is my interpretation of House's reasoning and I stand by it.
And on a more shallow level - as nice as it was to see House shirtless and in bed with Stacy, I am very upset that we didn't get to see any action whatsoever. *cries*
