Must it be only one answer?Ĭan't being a manipulative liar who needs to be needed be Wilson's superpower, if he puts it in the service of heroism the best he knows how?Īt the end of "Finding Judas," Wilson goes to Tritter to give evidence against House. Is it so horrible to need to be needed? That's the kind of drive that calls people to volunteer in the Peace Corps, to become firefighters, to risk their lives for others - to become an oncologist, and make the lives of many people better than they were before they met him.ĭoes any of this mean that Wilson didn't violate an ethical standard? And an ethical standard that's there for a very good reason, to boot. And perhaps that's true, on one level but we also know that House likes to present motivations in the darkest possible light.
