ive rewatched house so many times over this years and this moment ALWAYS gets me. 3 seasons in and cameron's finally standing up for something instead of trying to walk a middle path where she cant be blamed for making the wrong decision by making no decision, and it's one this heavy, and this is finally what gets house to express admiration for her, and it doesnt make it feel good or better but she's never the same from this moment. she knows she can act. she trusts herself more.

and she had to kill a man to do it.
