Revisiting Season Two

Celebrating the release of season two of House, I have been rewatching some of my favorite episodes. What I had forgotten was that once Stacy left (YEAH), that House started to look at Cameron differently. Ever couple of episodes, you see House looking at Cameron with a glint in his eyes and then the next episode would usually follow up with his attempts to teach Cameron that you can't trust people. So this leaves me to ask, is it that the writers don't know what to do with Cameron or is it that they are afraid to let the relationship develop?

This question is fairly simple but the moment you think you have an answer, the writers pull a 180. For example we have the episode with the little boy who had the same disease as House's former patient that died. When he finally sees Cameron in her formal wear, he loses all train of thought. This shows House's progress, then the next episode shows the battle between her and Foreman. While the writers try to play this off as House's way of showing her that he screwed her over, it doesn't focus on her sense of his betrayal, it's on Foremans. Interesting. My question to the writers would be when are we going to see her get really pissed off with House. Season 2's opener, was a slight explanation of her anger, but it didn't go anywhere. I personally think that it would be good to see some of her passion come out when they are disagreeing. Deep down, Cameron is not as nice as she tries to make everyone believe. I think that she has the ability to be manipulative, etc. And if we want to see this relationship go anywhere, that side of her is going to have to come out. Otherwise, House will never take her seriously.
