Studdy

Studdy is the femslash ship between Stacy Warner and Lisa Cuddy from the House fandom.

Season 2
ACCEPTANCE

House walks in on Stacy and Cuddy speaking in Cuddy's office. Cuddy tells House that the two are in the middle of a meeting. Stacy gets up to leave and Cuddy tells her to stay because it's just House, but Stacy leaves and tells her that she doesn't want to get in the way of House clearly wanting to speak to Cuddy alone.

HUMPTY DUMPTY

Feeling guilty for contributing to her handyman's hospitalization, Cuddy watches his room from afar. Stacy comes up behind her and tells her that she isn't allowed to visit the patient in fear of a potential lawsuit. Stacy says that she knows Cuddy, and that she'll likely end up trying to fix things by offering to pay for bills or admit wrongdoing, and Cuddy asks Stacy if she thinks she's an idiot. Stacy tells her that she thinks she's not a lawyer, telling Cuddy that House's team is more than capable of handling the patient's care before walking away.

Cuddy conducts a differential diagnosis with House and his fellows and suggests a radical treatment plan, and House ridicules her for it. She walks out to speak to Stacy about the decision, and Stacy tells her that the idea is no different than anything House himself would recommend. Cuddy suggests that it was a stupid idea regardless and she shouldn't have overruled whatever House was going to suggest, but Stacy tells her that she was entirely justified. Stacy also tells Cuddy that it's very like House to accuse Cuddy of not being a real doctor for over 10 years, another insecurity Cuddy holds about her involvement in the case.

Stacy finds House hiding in the clinic to ask him about Cuddy. She tells House that she's worried about Cuddy because she actually cares about patients and doesn't just see the patient as a puzzle to solve. House accuses Stacy of feeling guilty just for advising Cuddy not to see the patient. Stacy just tells him to take it easy on Cuddy for this case and leaves.

Stacy walks into the surgery observation room to meet Cuddy as she watches the patient's hand be amputated and asks her if she's doing okay. Cuddy tells Stacy that she wanted to be a doctor since she was 12 years old, and Stacy tells Cuddy that she wanted to be a lawyer since she was 6 years old. Cuddy tells Stacy about her medical achievements and says that if House hadn't been there helping her along the way, she would have killed the patient. She says that she's been so focused on being first and getting to the top that she's completely disregarded the medicine aspect of her job.

After the case is solved, Cuddy confesses her fears and frustrations about still not solving the case herself to Stacy in Cuddy's office. Stacy comforts her as House comes in to tell both of them that the patient is suing them for his amputation and Cuddy asks Stacy to settle.

SPIN

After meeting with Stacy telling him to renew his paperwork, House tries to convince Cuddy to fire Stacy. She sarcastically tells him that she'll get right on it. House's patient is a famous cyclist with an overbearing manager obsessed with getting the patient back to riding. When someone leaks a potential diagnosis of blood cancer to the press, Cuddy and Stacy confront the team about it, assuming that one of them leaked the story to the press.

THE MISTAKE

Cuddy catches Stacy as she's coming in to work to ask about preparing House and Chase for their disciplinary hearing following the death of a patient that was considered Chase's fault. Stacy asks why Cuddy can't ask someone else to do the prep work, and Cuddy says that she's avoiding work just because she doesn't want to interact with House. She tells Stacy that House was responsible for 40% of the hospital's lawsuit in the last year.

NEED TO KNOW

Seeking guidance after sleeping with House, Stacy comes into Cuddy's office asking about how House acted after she left him post-infarction. Cuddy tells her that he was the same as he always was, and Stacy asks if he could ever change enough to be in a relationship with her again. Cuddy asks what happened on the trip Stacy and House took to Baltimore to verify his Medicaid billings, where the two bonded and kissed. Stacy says that nothing happened between them, clarifying that most of what she was seeking advice for actually happened after the two returned to New Jersey, to which Cuddy groans. Stacy says that she doesn't know if she wants to leave Mark or not for House, trying to justify by saying that what her and House had wasn't all terrible when they were together. Cuddy reminds her that she left him for a reason.

House asks Cuddy to stop a surgery for a patient, and he mockingly tells her to go consult Stacy on the legal ramifications of going through with the surgery. She then does an impression of Stacy telling her that they should do the surgery, over-exaggerating her Southern accent.
