Wilber is the het ship between James Wilson and Amber Volakis from the House fandom.

Season 4
97 SECONDS

House splits the applicants into two groups based on gender, where Amber requests to be on the men's team. After the men's team are penalized for poor time management, they are put in House's office in time-out and are told not to speak to each other to avoid them figuring out a diagnosis with their extra time. Amber urges that they still talk and Kutner realizes that a camera on House's computer has been recording them the whole time. Amber crawls under the camera and out of the office's back door, coming in through Wilson's office while he's explaining an experimental treatment to a patient. She says, "I was never here" to him, and then leaves through his office to meet with the women's team.

UGLY

House comes to Wilson's office for support on the fact that his newest applicant, a former CIA agent he met on a previous case, is distracting his diagnostic skill by distracting him with her beauty. Wilson asks House if any of his other female applicants are having the same effect, bringing up Thirteen and saying "the bitch is pretty," referring to Amber by House's nickname for her.

FROZEN

Throughout the episode, House makes mention of Wilson dressing nicer than usual, theorizing that he's seeing someone, likely at the hospital. Whenever House asks, Wilson denies House's suggestions or avoids his questions altogether. At the end of the episode, House ambushes Wilson waiting for his mysterious girlfriend at a restaurant. House tells Wilson that he has the potential woman narrowed down to three possibilities, vaguely explaining that it must be someone new in Wilson's life but someone that House also knows. They talk about how House solved the case before Amber interrupts them. Wilson stands to greet and kiss her while House looks confused. Wilson asks if Amber was on House's list of potentials.

DON'T EVER CHANGE

House and Wilson get to the elevators at the same time and House interrogates Wilson about his choice of Amber to date. Wilson explains that him and Amber have a lot in common, responding to a quip from House that he enjoys strong women. House argues that Wilson likes needy, not strong, and asks if Amber is dying somehow. The two get in the elevator and House anticipates the relationship lasting only two months. Wilson offers a bet of $100, to which House says that it's not fair to start a bet with such a conflict of interest, when Wilson tells House that they've already been dating for four months. House asks why Wilson would hide this from him, and Wilson argues that he doesn't have a needy type. Wilson asks if House is planning on talking to Amber separately and House says that he has no choice. Wilson walks to his office annoyed, and House asks why he's not arguing against the idea. Wilson tells him that he's broken his previous pattern of failing relationships with Amber and that he understands if that fact makes House suspicious enough to look around. He tells House to get it out of his system if it'll make him feel better. House walks to his own office and asks his fellows if any of them knew Wilson and Amber were together. They all act surprised, but Kutner tells House that he knew because he asked Amber out recently and she said that she just started dating someone else.

House breaks into Amber's home and waits for her to come back from running an errand. She is wearing Wilson's McGill sweater. House offers to hire Amber back if she promises to break up with Wilson, and further claims that she's only dating Wilson to get close to House so that he'll hire her again. She sarcastically agrees that it's a good plan and he almost believes it before recognizing that she's lying. She asks him to wonder if she really is dating Wilson just for him, or if she's dating Wilson to get back on House's team, and House tells her to give Wilson his sweater back before leaving.

House follows Wilson and Amber to a restaurant and Wilson apologizes to Amber, but Amber says that it's fine. She calls House Greg, because they are now socially equal. House still calls her "cutthroat bitch," and then says "quod erat demonstratum" (Latin phrase used to denote a proof of one's scientific claim), explaining that he speaks in Latin because he doesn't hide that he is an annoying person. Amber says that she assumes House will want to join them at their table so that he can better observe their interactions, and Wilson says that they'll never get seated to eat because the restaurant is so busy. Amber responds by walking over to a waiter and beginning to annoy him for a table, which Wilson weakly protests before letting her go. House makes a joke at the expense of Wilson's masculinity, and Wilson says that Amber takes every similar interaction extremely seriously. House calls her the "anti-Wilson," and Amber gestures for them to follow because she was able to convince the waiter to seat them. Wilson smiles and House notes that her domineering attitude is what attracts Wilson to her in the first place, that he's not just dating Amber for the sex like House had previously assumed. As House describes Amber's dominant persona, he stops and realizes that he's describing many of his own qualities, and tells Wilson that he is essentially sleeping with House, before he leaves the restaurant in a hurry.

While conducting another differential, House looks out of the window of his room to see Wilson arriving to work and goes out to meet him. He says that he went to Wilson's hotel room in the morning to see that he had moved out and moved in with Amber at her apartment. Wilson jokes that he actually moved in with House, according to their conversation the night before. Wilson then launches into a tangent about the fact that it would actually be a good idea to date House, because they'd known each other for years and still stuck together despite several setbacks, and that they were essentially already a couple. House asks, puzzled, if they're speaking metaphorically. Wilson brings it around to say that House would understand that Amber is exactly what he needs in a partner if House wasn't so self-loathing. As Wilson walks away to his office, House stops him to say that Amber isn't exactly him, but a needy version of him, and Wilson sarcastically says that it's hard to imagine a needy House. House then calls Wilson's bluff that him and Amber had been dating for only a few weeks, not four months, because Wilson started seeing her after she was fired by House. He says that she is needy because she was in a bad place mentally after House fired her and that's when Wilson started seeing her.

House calls Amber into the differential room to talk with him, and House is surprised she showed up at all. She says that she's confident whatever he called her in for will be interesting to her. He tells her that if she can solve the current case, he'll hire her back onto his team, and she asks if there's a clause requiring her to break up with Wilson. House says there is, and Amber sits to ask House why he thinks that Amber needs some ulterior motive in dating Wilson in the first place. She leans in to explain that through her entire life, she thought she needed to either choose love or respect, and that she feels that she's finally found both in Wilson, and it feels better than any fellowship. As she gets up to leave, she guesses that the diagnosis could be Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation, and House tells her that she's changed. She says that she hopes she has, and he tells her that her diagnosis is incorrect before the two smile at each other and she leaves. As House leaves the hospital, he stops by Wilson's office to peek his head in and tell him that he could do worse than a female version of him.

NO MORE MR. NICE GUY

House comes into Wilson and Amber's apartment to ask Amber about "joint custody" of Wilson. Amber asks Wilson to deal with House, but Wilson says he doesn't know how to when House is actually being reasonable. She disagrees, saying that this proposition is crazy and that Wilson is an adult that can make his own decisions. Wilson tells Amber that this proposition is House's way of accepting their relationship as legitimate. House proposes every other day and every other weekend with Wilson, and Amber says that House can have Wilson on Wednesdays while she has yoga, but to have him home by 11pm, and she agrees to alternating weekends. House asks for Mondays as well as Wednesdays and keeping him until midnight but Amber disagrees. House asks Wilson to make a ruling, but he refuses to get involved. House and Amber reach a stalemate.

The three show up to Cuddy's office asking for Cuddy to act as a judge for their custody agreement. House compares her to King Solomon. Amber says that Wilson isn't assertive enough to make the choice for himself, so they need Cuddy's help. Wilson just says that Amber and House both scare him too much to piss off one of them with siding with the other. Cuddy tells them that she will make a ruling on them only if House agrees to do his staff performance reviews. House reluctantly agrees and Cuddy asks Amber what she offered House, siding with her proposition.

That evening, Amber comes to drop Wilson off at House's apartment 16 minutes later than agreed, and Wilson explains that it was his fault because he had to take a shower after him and Amber had sex. House is disgusted and sends Amber away. Although House tells Amber that they plan to go to mini-golf, the actually go to a bar so that House can get Wilson drunk. Wilson says that Amber will kill him for coming home drunk because they won't be able to have sex again if he's too drunk. However, House denies that based on asking Wilson's ex-wives about similar scenarios. Wilson asks why House wants to deliberately get Amber upset, but House is interrupted by a call from the team about the case. After hanging up, House admits that he did get Wilson drunk just to provoke an argument between him and Amber, but doesn't explain why.

The next day, Amber, House, and Wilson meet in Wilson's office to discuss that House brought Wilson back to Amber drunk, but on time. She claims that House is trying to ruin their relationship either because he's afraid Amber will make Wilson miserable or because he's afraid Amber will make Wilson happy and he won't need House anymore. She says it doesn't matter which it is, because he won't stop until either he breaks them up or Amber stops House from interfering. She proposes changing the custody agreement to include penalty clauses to allow fairness, and House agrees, but tells her to figure out the clauses on her own time and makes her leave the office. Wilson asks House where Amber is wrong in her judgement of House, and House doesn't have a response. House tells Wilson that he wanted to tell him a secret, but that he can't anymore, because he know that he'll just tell Amber and it won't be a secret anymore.

House finally tells Wilson his secret, that he faked having syphilis so that he could trick his team into thinking he was becoming nicer to them on the penicillin medication. He then asks Wilson to go bowling with him on Amber's time. Just as House predicted, Amber comes into the patient's room while Taub and Kutner are doing an ultrasound to tell them the truth. They ask why she would tell them and she says that she wanted to ruin House's day and leaves. Because House spent time with Wilson on Amber's time and Amber told House's secret to his fellows, Cuddy punishes them both by having them work together to clean patients' dirty sheets. While working together, Wilson watches from behind a wall and smiles to himself.

LIVING THE DREAM

Wilson limps over to House as he's looking in nurse carts for a syringe. House asks if Wilson is mocking him, and Wilson explains that his back hurts from sleeping on Amber's mattress. House tells him to buy a new one, and Wilson asks if he's being sarcastic because the couple were thinking of buying a new one. House explains that Amber makes everything more high-stakes than it needs to be and that she's actually going to be looking for a mattress she wants, not one that the both of them will agree on. House tells Wilson that the mattress shopping venture will only result in another mattress Wilson hates and he will be unable to tell Amber what he wants.

At the mattress store, Wilson and Amber lay on a bed to try it out. Wilson says that he likes a previous mattress and Amber says that she likes the one they are currently laying on. An employee says that the mattress is a good choice, and Wilson asks for the price. After hearing it, Wilson is about to ask about the mattress he wanted before Amber interrupts him to start a lie about them to get sympathy from the employee so that he will bring the price down. She asks if they would be able to buy it for $500 off the original price, and the employee says that he'll have to check with his manager to be sure. As he walks away, Amber's pager goes off and she tells Wilson to hold her purse for him while she looks for it. It is an urgent call from the hospital she works at and she tells Wilson that she has to go. Wilson asks if she wants him to get the current mattress or if he should leave with her. She tells him that he should buy whatever mattress he wants, because she won't mind either way. He asks if she's sure, and she says she is, she just wants to help him break it in after. She kisses him on the cheek before leaving.

Wilson calls House to tell him that he was wrong about his first idea that Amber would steamroll him for her choice of mattress, that she's letting him choose the one he wants. House tells him that it's a trap, and that it's really passive-aggressive coded language to see if he'll buy the mattress she wants just to see if he really loves her. Wilson tries to assure House that Amber isn't passive-aggressive, but House tells him that regular aggressive people usually also engage in passive-aggressive behaviors. House ends the call to chase down a lead for his patient's case as the mattress store employee returns to tell Wilson that his manager said that the negotiated price for the mattress Amber wants would work.

That night, Amber and Wilson are making out as they make their way to the bedroom. Wilson pushes the two of them down onto the new mattress and Amber stops as she realizes that Wilson bought the mattress that she wanted earlier. Wilson is confused as to why she's stopped, and she sounds upset when she tells him that he bought the mattress she wanted. He says that he bought it because it was the one she wanted, but she asks why he would do that instead of buying one he wanted instead. Wilson asks if it's a trick question. She told him that he really was supposed to get the one he wanted, and he says that he got the one she wanted because he loves her. She pushes him off of her and says that his behavior was exactly what he did with all of his previous ex-wives, where he did what they wanted instead of doing what he wanted for himself and he ended up hating them for it afterwards. She tells him not to do that to her and that she can look out for herself, and then gets up to go finish some work, leaving Wilson confused.

Wilson brings House to the mattress store with him the next day. House asks Wilson which mattress he'll get, and Wilson embarrassingly tells House that he's always wanted a waterbed. House is shocked as Wilson tries to explain himself. He asks why House isn't mocking him for the choice, and House tells him that he's ignoring him because he makes him sad with the choice. However, as Wilson then tries to sell himself on why a waterbed would be a bad idea, House tells him that it's not a big deal and that he should get the waterbed if he wants it. Wilson says that Amber will think it's a stupid idea. House assures him that it is stupid, but that he should go through with it anyway, before leaving to solve his case.

That night, Amber turns in the waterbed to find that Wilson isn't there. She walks out to find him laying on the floor of the living room. He tells her that he hates the waterbed, and she smiles and says that she likes it. He says that it's awful and that they're returning it the next day, and she smiles again and agrees, happy that Wilson is finally choosing himself over her. She joins him on the floor and tells him that she's glad that he got it anyway. He says that he is too, and hopes that the store will take the bed back. She assures him that they will as she cuddles up to him more.

HOUSE'S HEAD

House, convinced that he needs to help a specific person that he can't remember from a bus crash he was in, looks for something to help him remember. Kutner says that hypnosis could possibly help him better recall memories, saying that someone in the surgery department should be trained in clinical hypnosis. Chase is trained, and tries to help House with Wilson present in the room. House is able to successfully bring himself to a very simplified and vague version of the bar he was at, and Wilson asks why House was getting drunk alone at 5pm. Wilson asks what House is running away from, and House sarcastically says that he's running from Wilson when he's drinking without him. House is unable to see any details about the bar and asks Chase to help him focus himself when Amber chimes in from inside his mind, saying that Wilson is concerned for House. House says that Amber is in his brain and asks Wilson to get her out, saying that the existence of Wilson in his hypnosis "put" Amber into his subconscious. He says that it's impossible even to have a conversation with Wilson in his subconscious without her also present. Chase tells House to ignore Amber and Wilson and they disappear.

House overdoses on physostigmine, an Alzheimer's medication, to try to help him remember who he needed to help from his bus crash while staging a mockup of the people on the bus with him with his fellows and other hospital staff. He takes so much that he has a heart attack that stops his heart, and while he is technically dead, he finally remembers that Amber was on the bus with him and that she was the person that needs help. Cuddy and Wilson successfully bring him back to life, and his first word is "Amber" as he looks at Wilson. Wilson assumes that House is speaking incoherently from the drugs, but House asks him if he's spoken to Amber since the night before. Wilson assumes that she hasn't contacted him since then because she's been working, but then he remembers that he called her earlier and she never called him back, and he realizes that House is correct. Wilson asks how she could have been on the bus with House, and House says that he doesn't know. They find that she was one of the Jane Does taken to the other hospital in Princeton, and that they need to find her there to save her.

WILSON'S HEART

At Princeton General, House speaks to the doctor overseeing the unconscious Amber while Wilson strokes her hair. House and the doctor continue to talk about why her heart is racing despite being on dialysis and fixing a key artery. Wilson asks frantically why she didn't call him. The doctor explains that she was unconscious when she got to the hospital and paramedics couldn't find any identification or belongings on her, as her purse was flung in the crash. House asks about a few more things that the hospital did for her, and then suggests that she be moved to Princeton-Plainsboro to receive quicker treatment. The doctor tells him that it would be risky to move her in her condition, and that House can't make that decision because he's not her doctor. House says that her "husband" can, looking to Wilson. Wilson tells the doctor to move her to Princeton-Plainsboro. House and Wilson sit with her in the back of the ambulance as they talk about her case to see what could be making her heart race. Wilson asks why she was on the bus and why she was with House in the first place, and House tells him that he truly doesn't know because he can't remember. House asks again about what could damage her heart, and Wilson seems out of it. House pulls him back into the conversation, saying that he needs his help because House is still struggling with the effects of the physostigmine overdose and his previous skull fracture from the initial crash. Amber's heart suddenly stops, and House is about to resuscitate her with paddles before Wilson stops him and says that it's possible the shock from the paddles could kill her because her heart was racing prior to the stop, and suggests they freeze her and put her on bypass to keep her available to be resuscitated later on after they find what's wrong with her. House hesitates but eventually agrees when Wilson reminds him that Amber is not just a random patient to Wilson, and works with him to cool her down as they approach the hospital.

Wilson watches with House and the rest of the team as Amber is successfully chilled and put on bypass by Chase and some other nurses. The team all pat Wilson on the shoulder or back as they leave to conduct a differential diagnosis. House sends Kutner and Thirteen to explore Amber and Wilson's apartment to check for relevant information, and they find Amber's laptop. Kutner looks through her "travel" folder to find videos of Wilson and Amber having sex, and Thirteen, frustrated, stops him from looking further into the videos, ensuring that nothing from the videos are medically relevant.

After a cryptic dream with Amber and sherry, House bursts into the room Amber is in to find Cuddy and Wilson watching over her. He says that he wants to try deep brain stimulation, a process where a surgeon opens the patient's skull and directly electrocutes the hypothalamus to stimulate more detailed memory recall. Cuddy tells him that the idea is insane and would be infinitely damaging to his already wounded brain from his skull fracture, and Wilson wearily agrees. As they talk, Amber experiences a brain activity spike. Cuddy and Wilson wonder if she could be able to hear the three of them talking and Wilson tries to speak to her, but House tells him that random activity spikes are common. Wilson disregards House and tells Amber that everything will be okay and that he's here with her. House receives a page that his team found someone relevant and Wilson goes with him to the office.

At the next differential after finding nothing from the previous search, House is fixated on the cryptic dream he had about the sherry. The team discusses possibilities and House asks Wilson if Amber ever drank sherry. Everyone ignores him, and the team suggests an infection and starting her heart again to let the infection spread to see what it is. Wilson is obviously against the idea and actually suggests cooling her down further, before House asks again. Wilson tells him that she doesn't drink sherry, and House then deduces that her appearing with sherry in the dream must mean something different than a literal meaning. Kutner says that there is a bar called Sharrie's right off of a bus route, and House gets a small flashback confirming that to be the bar he went to. He takes Wilson with him to go visit as he tells the team that Wilson is right and they should fill her veins with slurry to cool her down further.

At Sharrie's, the bartender recognizes House and gives him back his motorcycle keys he took from him the night before. The bartender confirms that Amber was at the bar with House, and he adds that House seemed interested in her. Wilson questions this and House assures him that if the bartender actually knew anything he wouldn't be a bartender. Because she sneezed while at the bar, Wilson and House assume she has an infection. Back at the hospital, House has another cryptic dream about Amber, this time involving a rash on the small of her back. He tells the team to find it and they do. Foreman suggests that she may have Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, and Wilson says that the two walked a friend's dogs the week before and she could have gotten the infection from them. House suggests to treat her with the needed antibiotics and then restart her heart, but Wilson vehemently disagrees, and suggests they run blood cultures first to confirm before treatment, because he doesn't want to restart her heart until they are completely sure of what is wrong. Foreman argues against Wilson's recommendations, but House agrees with Wilson and forces the team to comply, even against their own beliefs. Foreman comes to Cuddy with the case, telling her that House's insistence on following Wilson's ideas will end up killing Amber. Cuddy agrees and begins warming Amber up with Foreman when Wilson walks in. He frantically tries to undo what they've done, when he notices that her EKG has slowed, showing that whatever was killing her has now had the opportunity to spread to her brain. He tries to speak to her with no response before he yells at them for the error before running out.

The team cools her down again as Wilson and Cuddy argue in House's office, in front of him. He urges them to use quieter voices but they don't listen and continue arguing. Cuddy tells Wilson that House also wanted to warm her up and Wilson just guilted him into changing his mind. Cuddy lists the symptoms to House, who says that it is likely an autoimmune condition and recommends the treatment. Wilson grows upset, saying that the treatment and restarting of her heart will kill her if they're wrong and it's another infection. Cuddy tells him that House is the attending physician and that he is the family, so he should spend time with Amber instead of being involved in further differentials before leaving the office. Wilson tells House that the recommended treatment is wrong and House apologizes. Wilson kicks a chair before leaving the office, but he comes back. He asks House if he would still be open to doing the deep brain stimulation experiment to definitively figure out if they're missing something for the correct diagnosis. House asks for confirmation that Wilson is essentially asking House to risk his life to potentially save Amber's. House ultimately agrees.

Wilson and Chase prepare House for the deep brain stimulation. The jolting reveals that House tried calling Wilson to pick him up after he got drunk at the bar, but Amber picked up the call because Wilson was at work. Amber decided to pick him up instead for Wilson, and she sneezes, indicating a common cold. After being difficult, House insists that he'll take the bus. He leaves the bar without paying and leaves her to pay for his drinks. She joins him on the bus to get him home safely and to give him his cane that he left in the bar. As they ride on the bus, Amber sneezes again and takes out a bottle of amantadine, saying that she thinks she's getting the flu. The amantadine she took to help the flu caused amantadine poisoning, because the proteins of the amantadine binded with her kidneys that were then completely obliterated with the crash, leaving her body unable to process it and slowly killing her. House says that he's sorry to Wilson, and that there is no cure, because amantadine cannot be flushed out with dialysis. House then has a complex partial seizure that widened his skull fracture to the point of putting him into a coma.

Wilson watches Chase and the nurses restart Amber's heart from the observation section of the room. In his office, he stares out of the window as Cuddy comes in. Wilson suggests that they call for Amber's time of death, but Cuddy says that Amber is technically still alive, and that they can fully wake her so that Wilson could say goodbye. He says that it'll be too cruel on her to wake her, but then bursts into tears and hugs Cuddy. She tells him that Amber would want to be woken up so that the two of them can say goodbye to each other for good. Chase successfully takes her off of anesthesia and leaves to let Wilson and Amber have time alone. As Wilson is crying and facing away from her, Amber wakes up. The two smile at each other and Wilson tells her that she's in the hospital. She sees that she is on bypass and Wilson asks her if she remembers any of what happened. She says that she got on the bus, then she starts to get scared and says that she shouldn't have gotten on the bus. She asks how bad the damage is, and Wilson explains her progression to her. She begins to cry as she realizes that she is going to die, and she correctly identifies that the amantadine pills she took on the bus were what caused it. The two cry and tell each other that they love them as Wilson presses their foreheads together.

After each fellow says goodbye to her, Wilson is laying cuddling with Amber on her bed. Amber says that she is tired, and that it's time to really say goodbye. Wilson shakes his head and says that he wants a little more time with her. She says that everyone is always going to want a little more time before they die. Wilson says that he doesn't think he'll be able to switch her off of bypass, but she tells him that it's okay. He says that it shouldn't be okay with her, that she should be angry at the circumstances. Amber says that anger isn't the last emotion she wants to feel. Wilson holds her face and gives her a final kiss before he reaches back behind him and turns off her bypass machines. He looks into her eyes as he watches her die, and then puts his hand gently over her face when she's gone, crying to himself.

While House is in his coma, he finds himself inside a large white bus, sitting next to Amber. He acknowledges that she is dead, and asks if he's also dead. She says that he isn't yet, and he says that he should be. He explains that lonely drug addicts like him should be the ones to die in crashes, not a young woman in love that was dragged from her apartment in the middle of the night to do someone like him a favor. House says that Wilson will hate him when he wakes up, and Amber tells him that he deserves it before urging him to get off of the bus. He does, and successfully wakes up from the coma.

Season 5
DYING CHANGES EVERYTHING

Wilson takes two months off of his practice after Amber's death and returns for the week. When House comes in to try to discuss a case, Wilson tells him that he's resigning and leaving the hospital for good, even considering moving out of New Jersey. House tries to tell him that a change in scenery won't change anything he's feeling emotionally, but Wilson disagrees. Discussing pain and their differences, Wilson says that he would rather have his leg chopped off than have to experience what he is currently experiencing emotionally. House argues that Wilson doesn't know what his pain is like, and Wilson says that the same is true the other way around. House tells Wilson that the way he is experiencing grief is textbook, but Wilson says that he doubts it, because he's never read the book on how grief plays out when one's girlfriend dies. He leaves to brief another doctor on the cases he's leaving. That night, House bursts into Wilson's office as he's packing up to go home to tell him that he's being an idiot by leaving, and that his grief is only temporary and he'll regret his decision six months later when he's "healed." Wilson again argues and disagrees.

Cuddy tries to call an intervention between House and Wilson because of the recklessness of both of their behaviors: Wilson leaving the hospital and House refusing to treat his patient until Wilson promises to take back his resignation. After trying and failing to get the two of them to talk to each other about how they feel about each other, Cuddy tries apologizing to Wilson, telling him that she'll never be able to understand what he's going through. Wilson gets upset at the gesture and gets up to leave. Cuddy asks Wilson if she thinks that Amber would want him leaving the hospital, and Wilson bitterly reminds her that no one on the senior staff liked Amber in the first place.

Cameron finds Wilson in the main lobby after hours filing paperwork. Wilson says that he's going to miss her and she tells him that he's making the wrong decision by leaving. Wilson asks if House propositioned her to talk to him and she says he did, but that she told him to go to hell about it. She continues to say that he's making a mistake leaving because he will regret it, because the pain never goes away. In this case, Cameron is the only person that can relate to Wilson's emotional turmoil after losing Amber. Wilson tells Cameron that the hospital is just one big reminder of Amber for him and he needs to get away from anything like that. Cameron fires back and tells him that even years after her husband's death, away from their old life together, she is still reminded of him daily.
