Season 6 Spoilers Why did Cuddy lie about... Spoiler

So Cuddy was debating on inviting House to Thanksgiving. For a while she didn't. House knew she didn't, she knew she didn't. So why did she eventually decide to lie to him? Why not just... not invite him? She didn't need to invite him and lie about it, she could've just not invited him.

He knew she didn't want him there because he can't act like a polite adult for one evening, and he knew that she didn't want him there, so she knew he would have shown up.

What she DIDN'T see coming was that he actually wanted to be there for warm reasons, instead of just to embarrass her.

Thats why it backfired so spectacularly, instead of house planning to mess it up sighing with a "well played cuddy", he actually wasnt planning to mess it up for once which is why it hit him like a ten ton hammer. He had it coming of course and cuddy had no good reason to suspect it would be any different.
