I've read speculation that it's not that Chase was on an allowance so much as that Rowan sent huge checks for birthday/Christmas (presumably out of guilt for ignoring him the rest of the time for so long)--large enough to make a difference to his finances when they stopped. Whether that's true or not, it works for me enough to accept it. Certainly it's better than an allowance would be.
I absolutely didn't think for a minute that Chase was thinking about going to Tritter. I'm not even convinced he was going to quit (though he certainly seems likely to just leave PPTH completely once his contract's up, whereas before I expected him to try to find some way to stay, even if just in the ICU). What I think he was giving up on was simply the notion of ever getting House's approval, as he and Wilson talked about--going into "it's easier not to care" mode like he had with his father. I think it seemed more momentous than that simply because, for Chase, that is momentous; from day one he's been desperate for House's approval, attention, and/

Ah, I hadn't seen the "giant birthday check" speculation, but it does make marginally more sense than the "allowance" theory does. But still doesn't jive with the "cut out of the will" thing. I'm almost convinced that the writers just don't think things through all that well.

I like this interpretation. It makes sense given the way Chase seems to function. And it's much sadder that he's just given up and is probably going to continue to sit there with no expectations instead of being fed up enough to decide to do something - ie: leave.
As for Tritter, it is kind of odd that he has far more ammunition to make a case for House being dangerous than just his pill-popping and isn't using any of it. He ought to be dragging in all the DNRs House has decided to ignore, the unapproved treatments he inflicts on people, the rampant breaking and entering he encourages... Tritter is awfully focused on just the drugs.

"Almost"?
Good point about the B&E in particular (I think he mentioned the one time he got taken to court about the DNR, because I remember House mentioning that that case got dropped--though it may have been to his clearly-incompetent lawyer rather than Tritter); I hadn't thought of that, I guess because they haven't been doing as much of it lately.
And what a hypocrite Tritter is to complain about how House can't do his job because of the Vicodin while Tritter's constantly got a mouthful of nicotine gum.
I was thrilled to see a couple of things - House not get it right for once, Chase being allowed to get it right for once. Yay Chase, you made up for being an ass lately, last night!
That said, as for Tritter... We've met him before. Name was Volger. And he was annoying and distracting, too. Humph.
