I watch House about once a year, and…last night wasn’t one of them! However, the word is that there was a very powerful moment:

I gather (and correct me) that the plot involved a situation in which a late-term abortion was being advised by House who referred to the child throughout as a fetus, tadpole, thing, etc…and then in crisis, with pre-natal surgery being attempted, the tadpole grabs House’s finger…

From the recap at the FOX site:

House plans to open the uterus, then open the fetus itself to take a look around. Despite Cuddy’s warning that this procedure is incredibly dangerous, Emma sees a real-time 4D scan of her fetus and emotionally consents. The observation deck is packed for the surgery. When House cuts into the uterus, the fetus’s arm emerges, tenderly grabbing House’s finger. House freezes, staring at the tiny hand in awe. Despite his earlier insistence that this is a fetus and not a baby, he seems moved by the moment.

Anyone see it? Reax?
