The clinic hums with its usual urgent chaos. House, reluctantly dragged into a case by Cuddy, is abruptly interrupted. His team enters, visibly worn, carrying a two-year-old child who is crying without pause. Cameron, Chase, and Foreman explain that no toy or snack has settled the boy; only House can. House lets out a sigh, weariness and resignation etched on his face. With a limping but determined step, he closes the distance, takes the baby into his arms, and murmurs with heavy irony, 'Never thought I'd be so loved by a baby,' as he tries to soothe the child.
