After a tumultuous stab at a mature relationship in Season 7, Cuddy dumps House after a cancer scare which House cannot bring himself to confront without the aid of his old friend Vicodin. Cuddy realizes that House is not and probably never will be ready for a real relationship and ends it. Based on Cuddy's assertion that she wants House arrested if he ever comes near her again after this incident, it may be safely assumed that the final nail has been driven into the lid of the Huddy coffin.

The three-way dynamics get worse when Arlene nearly dies of heavy metal poisoning that Cuddy had early tossed off as hypochondria compounded by House's combination of medical genius and bad bedside manner. Despite some early bumps, such as setting boundaries at work and House's ongoing non-sexual relationship with his former hookers, the relationship grows well. They settle into a regular pattern of sexual encounters interspersed with dating and even spending quiet times together evenings and weekends. After House's entire team quits and he refuses to hire anyone else (or do any actual work), Cuddy challenges him to treat a patient within 24 hours. House thinks he's succeeded, but when the patient keeps getting worse, it takes him a few days to find out what's wrong.

Throughout Season 6, Cuddy is busy with her adopted daughter and is in a relationship with a private investigator, Lucas, who was hired by House to spy on Wilson at the start of Season 5. She cared for House after he goes through rehab for Vicodin. After sensing romantic feelings from House, Cuddy tells House that she would like to be friends; but he refuses, quoting that is the "last thing he wants".
Characterization
Cuddy quit her job after the events of season seven's finale "Moving On". In the episode Known Unknowns, while attending a medical conference, House admits to Cuddy that he had feelings for her when he first saw her at the Michigan University library, catching her off guard. The next day, he went up to her hotel room to ask if he could help with her baby, only to find out that Lucas was in the room with the baby. Cuddy and Lucas tell House they started going out right after House was admitted to Mayfield Psychiatric Hospital. Later, in the episode Ignorance is Bliss, House tries to break up Cuddy and Lucas. Cuddy invites House to her home for Thanksgiving dinner, but gave him the wrong address to stop him from ruining the evening.
The Series
However, it is still possible that they reconcile post series. House replies, "I always want to kiss you," and the two share a quick kiss. After a second, they begin kissing passionately as the episode comes to a close. (Technically she can't, House has tenure and can only be fired by the board acting unanimously, but they despise House more than anyone.) However, when pressed, Cuddy will point out that House has saved about one patient a week. She also realizes that House is a much better doctor than she is.

She also comes from a long line of physicians - her great grandfather published a key medical text. We also know that she has also wanted to be a doctor ever since she was 12 years old. She often felt her mother treated her more harshly than her younger sister, but later came to believe that her mother only pushed her knowing that she was capable of great things. The only other salient fact about her early life is that she admitted to Wilson (who later told House) that she once slept with her father's best friend. Their history together is not as clear, but here is what is known for sure.
Early life
Despite the fact that House is stuck to outperform his team and all talk of having Foreman take over permanently is shelved. Vogler holds out a poisoned olive branch - if House will endorse his new drug, he will let House keep his department intact. House goes back on the deal - House goes to a major conference and embarrasses Vogler by damning the drug with faint praise and pointing out its costs outweigh its benefits.
Personal life
When the mother dies and the father and grandparents don't want the child, Cuddy becomes a foster parent for her and names her Rachel. Although she finds it difficult to become attached to the child, it finally happens and she decides to adopt her. At the end of the episode Top Secret, there were additional but non-explicit clues. House remembers where he had seen the patient before - making out with Cuddy at a hospital fundraiser. Cuddy says the only reason why House had remembered him (he never remembers anyone) is because he was making out with Cuddy. She intimates House wanted her himself (she made the same observation in Insensitive).
When he suggests he wants to become a board certified surgeon, Cuddy pulls strings and convinces head surgeon Dave Thomas to let him work in the surgical department. House and Wilson speculate about her agenda, and Wilson wonders if Cuddy is interested in him romantically. House intead guesses that Cuddy has cancer and was seeking Wilson's professional opinion. Wilson tests a spoon with Cuddy's saliva and finds no cancer markers.
She confronted House about his Vicodin use and broke up with him. Once again, Cuddy risks her career by playing chicken with the hospital's largest insurance company Atlantic Net. When they offer her a 4 percent across-the-board increase for procedures, she demands 12 percent and threatens to cut off their contract. They come back with 8 percent, but she still holds out and, when the deadline passes, she announces the contract is over. With no response, she is willing to admit defeat and go to the board to resign when the insurance company rep comes back with a new contract agreeing to the full increase.
After several tests, Wilson finds a mass in Cuddy's kidney and schedules a biopsy to take place later in the episode. Cuddy realizes at the end of the episode that the only reason House was able to overcome his selfishness was because he had taken Vicodin before visiting her in the hospital. It is here that Cuddy breaks off the relationship with House after confronting him regarding her suspicion of his relapse.
In the Season 6 finale "Help Me", House gives Cuddy an antique medical text written by her great-grandfather, which prompts her to confess that she and Lucas were engaged. Cuddy, House and House's team go to Trenton to help victims where a crane collapsed on a building. House finds a woman named Hanna who is trapped under a mountain of rubble. The first responders and Cuddy both tell House that Hanna's leg needs to be amputated for a chance of survival. Cuddy claims that the reason why he is refusing is because he is bitter over her engagement and what he went through with his leg years ago.
This time, romance blossoms as Lucas soon bonds with her and Rachel. After House recovers, but says he doesn't want to practice medicine anymore, Cuddy reluctantly allows Foreman to take over the department. However, Thirteen and Taub soon leave, and Cuddy allows Foreman to team up again with Chase and Cameron until he can hire new fellows. Cuddy has an admirer in Season 5, House's new private detective Lucas Douglas, who tries to slip his invoices past as medical expenses when House won't pay them. Although Cuddy is flattered, she hardly sees Lucas as an ideal match.
In the episode Moving On, House drove his car into Cuddy's house, permenantly ending their relationship. After this episode, there was no reference to Cuddy having contact with House for the remainder of the series. In Season 6, Epic Fail, Cuddy seemed surprised and a bit saddened when House came back to tell her he was quitting.
House constantly bombards Cuddy with sexually suggestive comments, often remarking about the display of her breasts or the size of her buttocks. She has always seemed to enjoy this and even encouraged it during the poker game in All In. Once House started taking an interest in Cuddy's relationships, Cuddy began to believe that House was actually attracted to her. However, her reaction appeared to be that House had an earlier opportunity to have a relationship with Cuddy and did not do so. The relationship between Cuddy and House is a strained one.
