After the surprising “House M.D.” finale of season 6, when House and Cuddy locked lips, virtually making Huddy happen, calling the first episode of season 7 “Now What?” seems quite appropriate.

The romance between the two has been in the making ever since fans can remember, even igniting serious debates online, with some saying it shouldn’t happen, while the vast majority literally begged for it.

In the final episode of the previous season, Dr. House and Dr. Cuddy professed their love for each other, making many wonder “OK, now what?”

A new poster for season 7 and the season opener offer some clues as to the answer to that question, AceShowbiz informs.

“The latest promo of ‘House M.D.’ would like to make sure of it by refreshing viewers’ mind of what happened in the last season between House and Cuddy and teasing them of what’s next for the couple,” the e-zine says.

Not only does the promo promise the first episode of the season (and the season in its entirety for that matter) will be “nuclear,” but it also hints at just how nuclear it may turn.

“In the aftermath of last season’s emotional finale in which House and Cuddy admitted they had feelings for each other, they are exploring the ramifications of those feelings and attempting to make a real relationship work,” the aforementioned e-zine says.

Of course, season 7 will not be all about the newly-minted Huddy couple, as the beloved cast will also have to deal with serious, medical issues.

“Meanwhile, due to a colleague’s illness, Princeton Plainsboro is left without a neurosurgeon on site, threatening the hospital’s accreditation as a Level 1 Trauma Center,” AceShowbiz says.

“As the team attempts treatment to get their sick colleague back to work, they discover there is more to the illness than they originally suspected and turn to House for direction. Instead, House remains elusive, leaving the team on its own,” the e-zine further says.

The latest poster for season 7 of the much-popular show is different from previous ones only in one respect: while presenting the entire team, it has Huddy with one of her legs draped around House.

Clearly, photos speak louder than a thousand words. Below is the brand new promo for episode 1 of season 7. Enjoy.
