House Season 1 Foreshadowed the Fate of House and Cuddy's Relationship

While the medical drama House M.D. remains popular 20 years after its debut, many fans have never gotten over the premature departure of Lisa Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein). Yet, looking back at the whole series, early hints and clues alluding to Cuddy's fate can be spotted in the first season of the hit Fox drama. In particular, Cuddy's professional and romantic relationship with Dr. Greg House (Hugh Laurie) toed the line of medical ethics from day one, a thematic motif that continued until Cuddy's abrupt departure at the end of Season 7.
