At the start of the show, Cameron is the only woman on House's initial diagnostic team. She is a deist, claiming "I believe in a higher order that's in control of what happens, but not in one anthropomorphic entity called 'God' that's concerned with the everyday workings of you and me", but expresses a feeling of respect for people with religious beliefs, unlike House, who openly taunts religious people. Joyce Millman of
The New York Times has stated she plays "
Jane Eyre to House's
Edward Rochester." Millman stated that House's description of Cameron in "Love Hurts" (see box on the right) " cut to the core of Cameron's motivation and personality". Cameron objects to House's reliance on deceiving their patients and goes head-to-head with him several times on the issue. She is also reluctant to deliver bad news to patients or their families. Cameron's interest in House subsides even before she begins her relationship with Chase, although it does seem to resurface occasionally. In the season 4 episode "
Ugly", Cameron absent-mindedly mentions to a documentary team that she loves House, although she immediately clarifies that she meant she loved
working for House. In "
No More Mr. Nice Guy", when House is believed to have
neurosyphilis, Chase asks her directly in front of Foreman and the other fellows if she has slept with House, to which she angrily replies, "It's none of your business. It's none of
their business." Chase thinks she did; however, later, when they are in private, she says she did not. In season 4, Cameron dyes her hair blonde. Early in season 4, House, who was told by
Dr. James Wilson (
Robert Sean Leonard) and
Dr. Lisa Cuddy (
Lisa Edelstein) that Cameron and Chase moved to Arizona, finds her in the ER after finally discovering that they are still working at the hospital. House tells her that she is an "idiot". When Cameron asks if it was either the hair or where she is working, he says where she is working, stating that her hair makes her look like a hooker and that he likes it. In the season 5 episode "
Big Baby," Cameron temporarily moves up to Acting Dean of Medicine and Hospital Administrator, after Cuddy decides to spend more time being a mother. However, she soon quits, stating that she can never say no to House after studying under him for three years. In season 6, Cameron leaves PPTH and divorces
Chase after finding out about the events that took place in the episode "
The Tyrant". Her last episode as a main character is "Teamwork", the 8th episode of the season. She leaves when she realizes that
House has a heavy impact on Chase and she can't live with it, after her failed attempt to make Chase quit the hospital as well. She later appears in the season 6 episode, "
Lockdown", to get Chase to sign their divorce papers and after having done so, the two of them end on good terms, talking about their fondest memories of each other and making love in the clinic. This is her last appearance in the show until her cameo in the series finale. == Reception ==
