"I'll bring you some toys to relieve the boredom but you really shouldn't skip your sessions."
Cuddy wasn't sure if House was serious about playing hooky but it would certainly be in character for him. It would also be very stupid, more so than his usual pointless resistance to authority. He'd made the decision to check himself in and get therapy. If he spent his time figuring out ways to avoid therapy, he was defeating the whole purpose of being here. He'd only be hurting himself by sabotaging his own recovery...which would also be very typical of him.
"Skipping therapy is only going to prolong your stay," she pointed out in a quiet voice. "And I'd really like to have you home sooner rather than later."
"You want to be home before the Condo makes his appearance, don't you?" Wilson asked, adding his two cents as he turned his coffee cup around and around on the table. He knew as well as Cuddy that House was a genius when it came to undercutting his own well-being. House was the kind of guy who would literally bite the hand that fed him even while complaining he was hungry. Not being able to stop his self-destructive behaviors was one of the most frustrating aspects of being House's friend.
"Besides, the longer you're gone, the more opportunity Foreman has to usurp your throne," he added.
"Over my dead body," Cuddy interjected.
"You'll be gone soon, too, on maternity leave," Wilson pointed out. "That's going to leave the door wide open for Foreman's coup."
