Yep...that was a NOT so subtle jab on the commonly held desire to curate and cultivate a perfect child-bearing/child-making experience. Too often people are so consumed with having their own genetic offspring that they even hire surrogate wombs to carry such offspring to birth. True love, real love is loving someone that is NOT of your DNA. In the animal kingdom, orphaned offspring are often abandoned and left to die either by starvation or by predator. To care for offspring not of your own making is a definite sign of transcending our evolutionary programming (which is entirely designed around passing our genetic code along through our biological offspring).

Wait they literally said it was too painful, not only was her daughter going to die, but part of the reason was because of the baby. They knew they'd probably feel some resentment or something
NoRainNoFlowers he gets sucked in.she conceives by her agency. Abort: fault creation. make another and birth it to life later.propaganda: myth of too inferior woman. fear body functions not guns
What Kuttner did at the end really is admirable. Its freakin easy to say "Oh well, I was so young, doesnt matter now, who cares how many I bullied and hurt I was just a teenager." but very hard to walk up to them even years later and apologize.
He was probably making amends before he decided on suicide. I know it was written in as the actor was called on by Obama for something, but there are always signs right before someone actually commits to killing themselves. This was him probably showing it in the show.
And it makes no difference to the bullied. Bullies do not deserve to ease their alleged guilt by once again hurting their victims and trying to get them to say its okay. If you bullied others then you should eat that guilt every day like they have to eat that pain and damage you did.
@Emma Petersen This is indeed how it often works in real life. Two months ago I was finishing a work shift with a friendly, bubbly new coworker. She seemed down about something but I thought it was because she was having trouble finding something in the office. When I showed up for my next shift I learned that she had committed suicide. Sometimes we don't get to know the reason.
While I loved that Cuddy finally had a chance to become a mother I was so angry and disappointing on the girl's parents not taking the baby in. It was their granddaughter after their only daughter died! You would think they would want to keep the baby...
That's true, but the way they framed the family seemed to imply that they loved their daughter and would do anything for her. IDK it's just my pet peeve of the episode
Yeah I didn't like the framing of the grandparents it didn't make sense. I can understand the teenage father not wanting the kid, and his parents even if they are good people can't take in a baby that their son didn't want it will only further damage the child. But I can't imagine why the mother parents didn't take responsibility, first the teenager made a mistake thinking the child is dead and dumping the kid a criminal offence, so when she found the kid alive she was relieved happy a second chance redemption you would think before she died she would have asked her parents to look after her daughter. Because adoption doesn't guarantee a loving home would you trust strangers over your parents. I think it would have made more sense if the girl had a single father who lost his wife, then his daughter and didn't have the strength to raise another child, maybe Cuddy asked if she could raise the child and they mutually all decided that way mother died in peace knowing her daughter was with a loving doctor and grandfather not guilty of abandonment.
I think the reason they gave the baby up is because every time they look into the kids eyes all they would see is there daughter. They wouldn't want to put that pressure on the baby / kid . No matter how hard they tried to love the baby the grandparents would always resent the baby
AndyG94 a baby that serves as a constant reminder of their dead daughter, a baby they’d have to start taking care of right after their only daughter died.
some people are saying this plot is impossible. after all how can a new born survive hours left unattended? But... If y’all remember on the news there was this huge case of this baby called 59 or something because that was the number on his incubator. He survived being born in a literal toilet premature then flushed halfway through the pipes only found hours later when the old couple downstairs swore they heard crying in their wall. *edited for the baby’s #/name. Other commentor said they were named 59
If it was a fast birth the baby would still have fluid in it lungs and the body would react like it was still in the womb, and it could be that the pipe was warm from the building heating. The big thing is how did the kid survive not getting sick. Also the in the show the kid could have survived if the mother left and then the junkies heard her leave and went to investigate, found the kid pick her up and rocked her disloging the fluid and wrapped her up, keeping her warm and feeding her baby formula.
I remember one congressional hearing in the US where an abortion centre told the mother to sit on the toilet with a towel in her lap and just pass whatever comes. Then when she feels it's done, get up without looking and leave the bathroom. A team will come clean it up and deal with it.
Oh god...going back and seeing all the things Kutner says and does leading up to his suicide is just so fucking sad. I think him apologizing and atoning for what he did in high school has to be one of the most soul crushing moments for me. Makes it so much more obvious he was planning to kill himself and wanted to take care of any unfinished business or loose ends before he died. So heartbreaking.
No. Most suicides are unplanned, I think Kutner's (in-universe, yes we all know it was due to actor's leaving) was unplanned (or at least not at the time of this episode). 1) People can make effort to fix their mistakes without being suicidal. It was shown that he was just feeling guilty. 2) I think Kutner's reckless pursuit of anything new and willingness to risk himself for the case was more indicative. Maybe his suicide was one of his experiment gone wrong - or it might have indicated his underlying depression and one day it finally became unbearable (but again, not necessarily ''planned'').
If I was that girl’s mother I would have done everything in my power to keep Rachel, because painful or not she’s still they only piece of my daughter that I’d have left. I don’t understand what they were thinking.
Honestly, not everyone would be able to love the reason of their teenage daughter's death even if that reason turns out to be the only living remnant of their daughter. They were estranged from their granddaughter because they only found out about her a few days before their daughter's death. They knew that the baby will be a constant reminder of their daughter's unfortunate death. They'd have no place to vent their anger and depression and might vent it on the baby. So, I'd say putting the baby up for adoption, where she'll get a chance to have a good family life might be the better option.
NOHA KUROSAKI Exactly. Everyone grieves differently. For some it may be too much to have the “reason” your daughter died. Even though the child didn’t ask to be conceived. Don’t forget they didn’t even know she was pregnant, they didn’t get a chance to bond with the bump, so to speak. They don’t have that connection to the child, they see her as something that caused their sorrow and the grandparents wouldn’t do that to their daughter/son the babies mum, would they? So I can understand it and would empathise with it if it was real, but thankfully it’s not. Although it does happen quite often throughout the world. That’s what I like in house, it touches on difficult issues.
I understand the pain but at the same time it’s heartbreaking that the grandparents decided to give the baby up for adoption cause the young dying mother looking at her child was probably thinking: “Don’t worry, baby girl. Even when I’m gone, my parents are going to take care of you.”
This is one of my favorite episodes despite being really sad. When adults say that school is the best time of life, teenagers may go through hell. I feel so bad for this girl, it touches me so much every time.
My mother got Eclampsia after my birth, and things were so bad for her they didn't expect her to make it through the night. She did, and ended up making a full recovery. And thus I have a happy beautiful mother today. Also...... IS THAT DUDE THE HOT GUY FROM THE HANNAH MONTANA MOVIE?
Yeah maybe in a fantasy world. In real life bullies usually just go with the "I grew up and changed my attitude, so all is forgiven, I don't need to apologise" excuse and move on.
Had a good 5 girls who used to bully me find me on facebook and apologize to me as well. It may not make the scars disappear, but it made them shrink a little.
I had a bully of mine apologize to me. And as much as it doesn't make what happened okay, I do forgive her. It was a long time ago, she's a different person, there's no use in keeping up with blaming someone just 'cause it caused so much pain, 'cause it DID cause a lot of pain, but that's in the past, I'm a different, stronger person despite what happened to me, BECAUSE of what happened to me. And forgiveness is the best way to move forwards.
One bully ruined my life by tricking me into falling in love with him and then told everyone that he slept with me, telling everyone how easy I was, but nothing happened, we only held hands. Lost all my friends, I would always get weird looks, I wouldn’t wanna go out at all, then my mom found out, she didn’t believe me, but after 15 years he reached out on fb and apologized. It felt great but I don’t think I’ll ever forgive.
Wow :0 I was bullied by many people, in many different ways, but never like this. My first thoughts during reading your comment were "no way", "why would anyone slut shame in this time and age". I am sorry that this still happens :( this just convinced me more about religions being toxic.
By the time it was announced that he was going to leave, it was too late to write in small details like that. The whole point of his suicide being so out of nowhere was to show that many people suffer silently and to raise awareness. You going back and trying to find signs is exactly what House did in that episode, but it's okay if there were no signs. Some people don't let anyone know that they're suffering and it's impossible to tell. It's not anyone's fault for missing them. We just have to be good to everyone because you never know what people are going through.
Venom maybe they saw it in him trying to make amends before he killed himself and I know they didn’t write that in for that reason I just connected those two when I read the comment
Yea especially in this episode where he was Making amends and started wearing darker clothes and speaking with less inflection and prosody in his voice... His suicide was a shock first time going thru the series but the more I watch the more I think Holy crow it was right in front of us the whole.time.
This patient was probably the most unfortunate one in the series. Not only she died young. She also died during Christmas. Fun fact: she was one of the very few patients House never even interacted with during the entire case. That's mainly because Cuddy took care of this case (mainly out of sympathy for this girl), while House didn't seem interested.
Luckily, this most likely wouldn't be missed IRL. She'd still have HCG in her blood 4 weeks postpartum, and would still experiencing lochia, the bleeding after birth.
It's so poetic that the ones who ended up saving the girl's daughter were a homeless couple --- the same type of people she was helping. It's kinda sad, though...that she had to die and I'm kinda disappointed with the grandparents. I know it must hurt to know your child died because she gave birth but the girl obviously felt really guilty about the supposed death of her baby and the fact she ended up abandoning it. When she found out her baby was alive, you can see how much she cared for the child. It wouldn't take much to guess that the girl would have wished the best for her child a.k.a not for her child to be abandoned and be left to be hopefully adopted in a good home... like, she wanted to put her child up for adoption because she knew she couldn't take care of her baby but now her parents know, which should have changed the fate of the baby...and yet the baby still ended up abandoned by both set of grandparents. It's a good thing Cuddy adopted the baby.
This is why you don't make kids so ashamed of sex they hide it instead of asking for contraception. This is why you don't make kids so scared of a pregnancy they hide it instead of getting help.
@@purplebean8989 contraceptive methods can fail; condoms can break, birth control can fail even if taken correctly, etc. As for your point about making kids feel ashamed of sex, you've got it backwards. Society, and its view on sexual intercourse, as a whole has changed drastically over the span of just a few decades. The modern progressive will encourage you to "explore your sexual nature," when quite frankly, abstinence has worked just fine in preventing pregnancy. So, as stated above, while contraception may work for the most part, the best way to not get pregnant is to not have sex.
@@davidt.3860 Before contraception woman were popping out 5-8 babies. Now our average birth rate is at 1! Our teen pregnancy rate is HALF of what it was in the 80s. The most common age for a first baby was 21, now it's 25. So yes, contraception works. You can't say "just don't have sex" knowing full well how mentally dependent our species is on relationships. Too many people don't handle being single. Humans don't cope with loneliness, and they shouldn't have too just because people like YOU are a judgemental asshole
@@purplebean8989 Can you read? And no, it's not a rhetorical question. I never stated that contraception doesn't work. I did, however, state that it doesn't always function the way it's designed to, which leads to pregnancy/STDs in some cases. As for dependence on human interaction, who said that the interaction had to be on a sexual basis? What's wrong with two people waiting on marriage to engage in sexual intercourse? Perhaps it's because it doesn't fit with your agenda. And before you start whining about the very idea of marriage, do keep in mind that I'm not saying people absolutely have to get married, it's just an example used to illustrate my point that people can have the discipline to keep it in their pants. It's an undisputed fact that abstinence is the best way to avoid having a child, that being said, what do I know? I'm just a judgmental asshole.
@@davidt.3860 Is that your denial talking? Been single too long, so instead of admitting no one wants you because you are a judgemental asshole, you put it down to "no, people just don't want to get pregnant" Good luck getting through life with that attitude, you'll find it very lonely. Goodbye sir 👌
@@margotlopez9964 Lesson: Be open and accepting with your kids so that when they become young adults, they don't hide things like this from you, and you're in a better position to help them should they ask.
That was sweet of Cuddy to look for the baby. Even if it turned out she didn't survive after all, at least she would've been able to tell the mom she could be buried.
This is the only show I know that makes me cry out of pain, heartbreak, empathy, and joy all in the same time !! Each character's perspective burst a unique strong emotion that contrducts the rest !
My grandmother is a retired nurse. She had my dad when she was a teenager. Her and my grandfather got married when my dad was 6 weeks old. Her mum took care of my dad while when she was at school studying nursing. Grandma said that there was one case of eclampsia that she will always remember. They had to put the woman (in her early 20ies) in her own room and had to be extremely quiet when they were in there. The smallest of noises would set off a series of severe sezures. She past away after a month. There was nothing they could do besides make her as comfortable as possible. She was an aboriginal woman so her family and the tribe they were from raised the baby. Grandma says that it still makes her sad to this day and angry that such a common condition isn't taken seriously by expecting mothers.
You have to give props to Cuddy in this episode. She knew deep down she had to find that baby and see if it's still alive. And take it in as her own. If that's not a mother then I don't know what is ❤
A mother gives birth to her child and takes care of him. Stop romantising all this adoption system. Especially here, grandparents didn't want to keep the child?? Wtf...
32 weeks pregnant with my 5th child, and I can't help but cry every time I see this scene. For some reason it has come up in my suggestions every single pregnancy.
After Kutner left, the kid he bullied crossed his name off his hit list, put on some lipstick, and laid back on his couch while listening to Electric Light Orchestra-"Telephone Line"
Painfully, seeing a girl that young die from the complications from the birth only reminds me of how close I came to not having my mom around; when I was born, it caused my mother's appendix to act up, meaning they had to do emergency surgery immediately after performing a C-Section to deliver me. My dad told me that she seemed so pale and weak that she wouldn't make it through the weekend, only to see her walking around the next day. When I think about how close my family came to being only my dad and my brothers truly did makes me sad.
I love how the show uses underrated,very less heard but really awesome songs avoiding giving credits to the song and getting all the richness of the beauty of the song at the same time
"Merry Christmas, Cuddy." And then he leaves, practically unseen. One of the most consistent patterns of House is that when someone is suffering, and then their suffering is eased, he bolts. We see this in pretty much any episode that features House in the same scene as the patient talking about how the problem has been solved. As opposed to episodes where House's last words on solving the problem happen in the conference room or some other place where the patient isn't present. "It's something something. Your organ did a thing, which caused a thing. We administer a medicine, the thing stops, you get better." Never smiling. And often, leaving the room immediately after delivering the good news. I has said that he enjoys solving the puzzle. But he can't stand to be in the same room as the finished work. And it's not onto the next puzzle, right away. There's no other case on his desk. He just needs to not _be_ _there._ It's his chronic physical pain and undiagnosed emotional pain, I think. Someone gets better, but he's still suffering. Enough interaction for the day. Time to bail. The detachment, the outward appearance of a lack of empathy, helps him avoid accidentally getting swept up in things and feeling, for a fleeting moment, that he's getting better too. Because he's resigned to the notion that he's not getting better.
It sucks that her grandparents don't want her, but the sight of the child will remind them of the bitterness of losing their daughter. If they raise her, they will probably blame the child for ruining and killing their daughter.
Good afternoon, could you tell me the name of the song when cady presents the baby to the mother who is going to die? The music is beautiful but I can not find the name to identify it, could they help?
1:00-1:32 Girl: Crying because her baby died, and now she might die. Cuddy: Crying because someone said they were going to give away a baby but it died. Surprising they didn't have a scene of Cuddy talking to the mother, asking her to adopt her child herself, giving the dying mother assurance that the baby would be well cared for. I think that could have added something to this. Also, as for the grandparents not taking the baby - if they knew Cuddy, they could still see the baby from time to time, be involved in her life, even if not raising her themselves. There's a potential middle ground there between keeping her and totally giving her up.
Not going to lie, I sort of feel bad for the homeless woman who took the baby. She obviously really loved her, but unfortunately she was dealing with a sickly baby and there was no way she could possibly keep her. Though it would have been even more heart breaking if the baby had died under her care. If she had better circumstances she could have adopted her……
My mother got diagnosed with pre eclampsia. She never talked about it as being that serious, and I know pre and post are different but seeing this is just plain scary as hell. Thankfully she was in a good hospital when I was born (and not the awful one my brother was born in) and I was induced a few weeks early to make sure we were both healthy. My mom said there were quite a few doctors and people being brought in and she was used as an example to show them what to look for. Hopefully so situations like this don't happen.
Eugeniya Leshenko .. I think selfless is more when you do something based purely on the need of another with out benefit to your self which is why they call it selfless but Cuddy wanted a kid desperately and she had been trying but was unable.. this was more of a beneficial thing to both.. I like Cuddy I think what she did was amazing just don’t think it was selfless to me personally
@@yevgeniyaleshchenko849 She wasn't selfish but she wasn't selfless either. She was neither. It was the best solution so no one had to be selfish OR selfless.
Is it just me or was it obvious that Cuddy was going to adopt a child seem as she was going to name her last child Joy and this episode was called Joy to the world?
This show is all about the most bizarre outlandish medical problems but it’s realistic at the same time..a teen mom being too afraid to do anything and parents completely oblivious it’s…the drama in this show is better than anything on the air now.
House is one of those rare shows where the most dramatic parts don't seem overdone at all and in fact are really beautiful.

That's true, but the way they framed the family seemed to imply that they loved their daughter and would do anything for her. IDK it's just my pet peeve of the episode
Yeah I didn't like the framing of the grandparents it didn't make sense. I can understand the teenage father not wanting the kid, and his parents even if they are good people can't take in a baby that their son didn't want it will only further damage the child. But I can't imagine why the mother parents didn't take responsibility, first the teenager made a mistake thinking the child is dead and dumping the kid a criminal offence, so when she found the kid alive she was relieved happy a second chance redemption you would think before she died she would have asked her parents to look after her daughter. Because adoption doesn't guarantee a loving home would you trust strangers over your parents. I think it would have made more sense if the girl had a single father who lost his wife, then his daughter and didn't have the strength to raise another child, maybe Cuddy asked if she could raise the child and they mutually all decided that way mother died in peace knowing her daughter was with a loving doctor and grandfather not guilty of abandonment.
I think the reason they gave the baby up is because every time they look into the kids eyes all they would see is there daughter. They wouldn't want to put that pressure on the baby / kid . No matter how hard they tried to love the baby the grandparents would always resent the baby
AndyG94 a baby that serves as a constant reminder of their dead daughter, a baby they’d have to start taking care of right after their only daughter died.
some people are saying this plot is impossible. after all how can a new born survive hours left unattended? But... If y’all remember on the news there was this huge case of this baby called 59 or something because that was the number on his incubator. He survived being born in a literal toilet premature then flushed halfway through the pipes only found hours later when the old couple downstairs swore they heard crying in their wall.
*edited for the baby’s #/name. Other commentor said they were named 59
If it was a fast birth the baby would still have fluid in it lungs and the body would react like it was still in the womb, and it could be that the pipe was warm from the building heating. The big thing is how did the kid survive not getting sick. Also the in the show the kid could have survived if the mother left and then the junkies heard her leave and went to investigate, found the kid pick her up and rocked her disloging the fluid and wrapped her up, keeping her warm and feeding her baby formula.
@@BlueHat1 the god in the bible did this several times.
@@marikroyals7111 alons-y
It was Baby 59 from China! They have a video of them rescuing the baby from the pipe.
I remember one congressional hearing in the US where an abortion centre told the mother to sit on the toilet with a towel in her lap and just pass whatever comes.
Then when she feels it's done, get up without looking and leave the bathroom. A team will come clean it up and deal with it.
My god Cuddy is so.....beautiful.The scene with her holding the baby is .... i dont have words
Agree!
Really? She looked old and ugly as hell here...That haircut is not advantaging her at all
Game Master they weren’t talking about material beautiful, beautiful moment beautiful
MissDove 2000 Read the OP again, its both actually :)
Or their phrasing is really bad cuz it might be open for interpretation.
Game Master beauty is subjective, so I guess it is open to interpretation. Not the nicest thing to say though, but to each his own.
Oh god...going back and seeing all the things Kutner says and does leading up to his suicide is just so fucking sad. I think him apologizing and atoning for what he did in high school has to be one of the most soul crushing moments for me. Makes it so much more obvious he was planning to kill himself and wanted to take care of any unfinished business or loose ends before he died. So heartbreaking.
I know it's been 2yrs since you wrote this.... but I'm just finding this series and it was exactly my thought while watching this clip
No. Most suicides are unplanned, I think Kutner's (in-universe, yes we all know it was due to actor's leaving) was unplanned (or at least not at the time of this episode). 1) People can make effort to fix their mistakes without being suicidal. It was shown that he was just feeling guilty. 2) I think Kutner's reckless pursuit of anything new and willingness to risk himself for the case was more indicative. Maybe his suicide was one of his experiment gone wrong - or it might have indicated his underlying depression and one day it finally became unbearable (but again, not necessarily ''planned'').
If I was that girl’s mother I would have done everything in my power to keep Rachel, because painful or not she’s still they only piece of my daughter that I’d have left. I don’t understand what they were thinking.
Not everybody copes the same
Honestly, not everyone would be able to love the reason of their teenage daughter's death even if that reason turns out to be the only living remnant of their daughter. They were estranged from their granddaughter because they only found out about her a few days before their daughter's death. They knew that the baby will be a constant reminder of their daughter's unfortunate death. They'd have no place to vent their anger and depression and might vent it on the baby. So, I'd say putting the baby up for adoption, where she'll get a chance to have a good family life might be the better option.
NOHA KUROSAKI Exactly. Everyone grieves differently. For some it may be too much to have the “reason” your daughter died. Even though the child didn’t ask to be conceived. Don’t forget they didn’t even know she was pregnant, they didn’t get a chance to bond with the bump, so to speak. They don’t have that connection to the child, they see her as something that caused their sorrow and the grandparents wouldn’t do that to their daughter/son the babies mum, would they? So I can understand it and would empathise with it if it was real, but thankfully it’s not. Although it does happen quite often throughout the world. That’s what I like in house, it touches on difficult issues.
Not everyone reacts the same to grief. It is best for the child to have a loving guardian/parent instead of parents that could possibly be resentful.
The parents were older - on top of the grief of loss, caring for an infant is a physically demanding job they may simply not have been capable of.
Aaaaaaand now I realize that Kutner was preparing in this episode. Great, a few years late but the feelings still hit.
I understand the pain but at the same time it’s heartbreaking that the grandparents decided to give the baby up for adoption cause the young dying mother looking at her child was probably thinking:
“Don’t worry, baby girl. Even when I’m gone, my parents are going to take care of you.”
This is one of my favorite episodes despite being really sad. When adults say that school is the best time of life, teenagers may go through hell. I feel so bad for this girl, it touches me so much every time.
My mother got Eclampsia after my birth, and things were so bad for her they didn't expect her to make it through the night. She did, and ended up making a full recovery. And thus I have a happy beautiful mother today.
Also......
IS THAT DUDE THE HOT GUY FROM THE HANNAH MONTANA MOVIE?
Brielle Bryant yes i think it is
His name is Lucas Till.
Brielle Bryant That.... De-escalated quickly.
I'm so happy your mother made it. I couldn't imagine what it'd be like to grow up without a mother.
Hes from spy next door too : ^]
7:28
Cuddy- *Touches baby*
Baby- *Attecc*
6:16 This is the most amazing thing I have ever seen. The fact that he cared enough to find him and apologize is heartwarming.
7:21 My god Lisa has the most beautiful smile
6:25 If more people were like this... so many people could get closure. Both the victims and the bullies.
I had a bully apologize to me once. It was great.
Yeah maybe in a fantasy world. In real life bullies usually just go with the "I grew up and changed my attitude, so all is forgiven, I don't need to apologise" excuse and move on.
No really it happened. A girl who used to bully me apologized and I felt like Steve Buscemi in Billy Madison.
Had a good 5 girls who used to bully me find me on facebook and apologize to me as well. It may not make the scars disappear, but it made them shrink a little.
I had a bully of mine apologize to me. And as much as it doesn't make what happened okay, I do forgive her. It was a long time ago, she's a different person, there's no use in keeping up with blaming someone just 'cause it caused so much pain, 'cause it DID cause a lot of pain, but that's in the past, I'm a different, stronger person despite what happened to me, BECAUSE of what happened to me. And forgiveness is the best way to move forwards.
One bully ruined my life by tricking me into falling in love with him and then told everyone that he slept with me, telling everyone how easy I was, but nothing happened, we only held hands. Lost all my friends, I would always get weird looks, I wouldn’t wanna go out at all, then my mom found out, she didn’t believe me, but after 15 years he reached out on fb and apologized. It felt great but I don’t think I’ll ever forgive.
I am so sorry... he was a jerk. I hope you can trully move one and meet a wonderful man.
I wish I could give you a hug and be your friend during that time
The support in the comments here make me happy :)
Wow :0 I was bullied by many people, in many different ways, but never like this. My first thoughts during reading your comment were "no way", "why would anyone slut shame in this time and age". I am sorry that this still happens :( this just convinced me more about religions being toxic.
Should’ve dated an Atheists, I’ve never done anything like that to anyone.
Some people see Kal Penn as only a comedy guy, but this episode cemented him as a great actor in my mind.
Kuttner expressed many suicidal tendencies and no one there noticed a thing
By the time it was announced that he was going to leave, it was too late to write in small details like that. The whole point of his suicide being so out of nowhere was to show that many people suffer silently and to raise awareness. You going back and trying to find signs is exactly what House did in that episode, but it's okay if there were no signs. Some people don't let anyone know that they're suffering and it's impossible to tell. It's not anyone's fault for missing them. We just have to be good to everyone because you never know what people are going through.
Where? Where did you see suicide there? You just make it all up from nothing..
Venom maybe they saw it in him trying to make amends before he killed himself and I know they didn’t write that in for that reason I just connected those two when I read the comment
Most suicides happen within 10 minutes of the decision being made... And the vast majority within the hour.
Yea especially in this episode where he was Making amends and started wearing darker clothes and speaking with less inflection and prosody in his voice... His suicide was a shock first time going thru the series but the more I watch the more I think Holy crow it was right in front of us the whole.time.
Oh hey her boyfriend is that one guy from Taylor Swift’s “You Belong With Me” video
He's also Havoc from X-Men First Class
he looks like a simon
@@nexusfx1832 yeah, he does look like a Simpson
Bit of a more prominent role of his would be Travis in the Hannah Montana movie
Oh my word 😳
This patient was probably the most unfortunate one in the series. Not only she died young. She also died during Christmas. Fun fact: she was one of the very few patients House never even interacted with during the entire case. That's mainly because Cuddy took care of this case (mainly out of sympathy for this girl), while House didn't seem interested.
He could not handle it. The was no room for his snark.
Luckily, this most likely wouldn't be missed IRL. She'd still have HCG in her blood 4 weeks postpartum, and would still experiencing lochia, the bleeding after birth.
Omg, I'm so in love with the end. The way House looks at Cuddy and wishes her Merry Christmas. Wish they had ended up together 😭💖
It's so poetic that the ones who ended up saving the girl's daughter were a homeless couple --- the same type of people she was helping. It's kinda sad, though...that she had to die and I'm kinda disappointed with the grandparents. I know it must hurt to know your child died because she gave birth but the girl obviously felt really guilty about the supposed death of her baby and the fact she ended up abandoning it. When she found out her baby was alive, you can see how much she cared for the child. It wouldn't take much to guess that the girl would have wished the best for her child a.k.a not for her child to be abandoned and be left to be hopefully adopted in a good home... like, she wanted to put her child up for adoption because she knew she couldn't take care of her baby but now her parents know, which should have changed the fate of the baby...and yet the baby still ended up abandoned by both set of grandparents. It's a good thing Cuddy adopted the baby.
I love how the girl in this had a baby and then in Chicago Fire she also has a baby
This is why you use protection kids
And go to the hospital
This is why you don't make kids so ashamed of sex they hide it instead of asking for contraception. This is why you don't make kids so scared of a pregnancy they hide it instead of getting help.
@@purplebean8989 contraceptive methods can fail; condoms can break, birth control can fail even if taken correctly, etc. As for your point about making kids feel ashamed of sex, you've got it backwards. Society, and its view on sexual intercourse, as a whole has changed drastically over the span of just a few decades. The modern progressive will encourage you to "explore your sexual nature," when quite frankly, abstinence has worked just fine in preventing pregnancy. So, as stated above, while contraception may work for the most part, the best way to not get pregnant is to not have sex.
@@davidt.3860 Before contraception woman were popping out 5-8 babies. Now our average birth rate is at 1! Our teen pregnancy rate is HALF of what it was in the 80s. The most common age for a first baby was 21, now it's 25. So yes, contraception works.
You can't say "just don't have sex" knowing full well how mentally dependent our species is on relationships. Too many people don't handle being single. Humans don't cope with loneliness, and they shouldn't have too just because people like YOU are a judgemental asshole
@@purplebean8989 Can you read? And no, it's not a rhetorical question. I never stated that contraception doesn't work. I did, however, state that it doesn't always function the way it's designed to, which leads to pregnancy/STDs in some cases. As for dependence on human interaction, who said that the interaction had to be on a sexual basis? What's wrong with two people waiting on marriage to engage in sexual intercourse? Perhaps it's because it doesn't fit with your agenda. And before you start whining about the very idea of marriage, do keep in mind that I'm not saying people absolutely have to get married, it's just an example used to illustrate my point that people can have the discipline to keep it in their pants. It's an undisputed fact that abstinence is the best way to avoid having a child, that being said, what do I know? I'm just a judgmental asshole.
@@davidt.3860 Is that your denial talking? Been single too long, so instead of admitting no one wants you because you are a judgemental asshole, you put it down to "no, people just don't want to get pregnant"
Good luck getting through life with that attitude, you'll find it very lonely. Goodbye sir 👌
Lesson: Go to the hospital kids
True!
Lesson: don't have sex when you are literally a kid.
@@margotlopez9964 Lesson: Be open and accepting with your kids so that when they become young adults, they don't hide things like this from you, and you're in a better position to help them should they ask.
That was sweet of Cuddy to look for the baby. Even if it turned out she didn't survive after all, at least she would've been able to tell the mom she could be buried.
The way House looks at Cuddy at 7:26 was just so beautiful.
Who’s cutting those damn onions
At least it wasn't lupus
Pranay Venkatesh it’s never lupus . Except for the one time it was .
This is the only show I know that makes me cry out of pain, heartbreak, empathy, and joy all in the same time !!
Each character's perspective burst a unique strong emotion that contrducts the rest !
Will you please tell me in which season and the no. of the eposide ??
You just tore my heart out, slammed it on the ground, and stomped on it until it was flat
What impresses me is that the writers wrote Cuddy saying "People found her".
Without the 'and took care of her' part?
@@chrundle2700 without saying it was her sister
@@tomlxyz it wasn't her sister. They were lying to protect the baby from being taken from them
The boyfriend/father should feel bad. He caused Havok
Underrated joke
😂😂
Goddammit Barb...but that was pretty funny.
Nahhh i'm sure he can make something that will get him out of his current situation.......wink wink macguyver wink wink
You should've show why cuddy was so emotional at the start...
My grandmother is a retired nurse. She had my dad when she was a teenager. Her and my grandfather got married when my dad was 6 weeks old. Her mum took care of my dad while when she was at school studying nursing. Grandma said that there was one case of eclampsia that she will always remember. They had to put the woman (in her early 20ies) in her own room and had to be extremely quiet when they were in there. The smallest of noises would set off a series of severe sezures. She past away after a month. There was nothing they could do besides make her as comfortable as possible. She was an aboriginal woman so her family and the tribe they were from raised the baby. Grandma says that it still makes her sad to this day and angry that such a common condition isn't taken seriously by expecting mothers.
Marry Christmas Cuddy.
That line hit deep
The song is "Whisper" by A Fine Frenzy
thANK YOU
I've met her.
Lisa Cuddy thanksgiving
Thank you Dr.cuddy
what about the song at the beginning (at 00:31), the piano tune, it sounds so lovely. i tried shazam it didnt find anything...
You have to give props to Cuddy in this episode. She knew deep down she had to find that baby and see if it's still alive. And take it in as her own. If that's not a mother then I don't know what is ❤
100% a mother
A mother gives birth to her child and takes care of him. Stop romantising all this adoption system. Especially here, grandparents didn't want to keep the child?? Wtf...
@@annaheart7731 what do you have against adoption??? It’s just as beautiful as birth. It involves loss, but so does life.
@@annaheart7731 Adoptive mothers are equal to biological mothers. Blood bond doesn't always ensure eternal,maternal love.

After Kutner left, the kid he bullied crossed his name off his hit list, put on some lipstick, and laid back on his couch while listening to Electric Light Orchestra-"Telephone Line"
That was one of the best episodes ever.
LMAO, the sound at 7:20 sounds just like the palicos from monster hunter XD
Painfully, seeing a girl that young die from the complications from the birth only reminds me of how close I came to not having my mom around; when I was born, it caused my mother's appendix to act up, meaning they had to do emergency surgery immediately after performing a C-Section to deliver me. My dad told me that she seemed so pale and weak that she wouldn't make it through the weekend, only to see her walking around the next day. When I think about how close my family came to being only my dad and my brothers truly did makes me sad.
I love how the show uses underrated,very less heard but really awesome songs avoiding giving credits to the song and getting all the richness of the beauty of the song at the same time
the most beautiful gift christmas of cuddy
Lisa has the MOST BEAUTIFUL EYES I have ever seen.
"Merry Christmas, Cuddy." And then he leaves, practically unseen.
One of the most consistent patterns of House is that when someone is suffering, and then their suffering is eased, he bolts. We see this in pretty much any episode that features House in the same scene as the patient talking about how the problem has been solved. As opposed to episodes where House's last words on solving the problem happen in the conference room or some other place where the patient isn't present.
"It's something something. Your organ did a thing, which caused a thing. We administer a medicine, the thing stops, you get better." Never smiling. And often, leaving the room immediately after delivering the good news. I has said that he enjoys solving the puzzle. But he can't stand to be in the same room as the finished work. And it's not onto the next puzzle, right away. There's no other case on his desk. He just needs to not _be_ _there._
It's his chronic physical pain and undiagnosed emotional pain, I think. Someone gets better, but he's still suffering. Enough interaction for the day. Time to bail. The detachment, the outward appearance of a lack of empathy, helps him avoid accidentally getting swept up in things and feeling, for a fleeting moment, that he's getting better too. Because he's resigned to the notion that he's not getting better.
Lawrence giving apologies for his school behavior. Wish my mother and I would have gotten one of those apologies. Yah that never happened.
Me too. One of my bullies became the President of a business, from what I was able to find out.
Such a bittersweet moment
How on EARTH could her parents not want to keep their grandchild and a part of their child!!?? 😔
Cuddy is awesome.
As always.

this was probably the saddest episode of the season
And this, THIS is why you don't lie or obfuscate details from medical personnel.
7:06 House looked at the camera lol
Huwhoops
intentional maybe?
To think she got that baby back to her in the most house's way possible its kinda ironic and wholesome
and House walks away feeling sorry for himself. I don't even know what the full plot line is but House is ALWAYS feeling sorry for himself.
That’s the healthiest “sick baby” I ve ever seen on tv.
I feel so bad for this young girl.
This episode really got the tears working.
It sucks that her grandparents don't want her, but the sight of the child will remind them of the bitterness of losing their daughter. If they raise her, they will probably blame the child for ruining and killing their daughter.
"Merry Christmas, Cuddy" 😭
I'm 52, post-menopausal, & never wanted children, but when I see Cuddy with this wee one, I feel a tiny pang for the way things might have been.
..and THAT’S why l love Dr. Cuddy.
Good afternoon, could you tell me the name of the song when cady presents the baby to the mother who is going to die?
The music is beautiful but I can not find the name to identify it, could they help?
a fine frenzy - whisper
Thank you, it helped a lot!
vivaldo show so..... i’m sorry but it’s not cady
House did always have one of the best soundtracks on TV. I miss this show.
The moro reflect the child did when she touched his chest was adorable
1:00-1:32
Girl: Crying because her baby died, and now she might die.
Cuddy: Crying because someone said they were going to give away a baby but it died.
Surprising they didn't have a scene of Cuddy talking to the mother, asking her to adopt her child herself, giving the dying mother assurance that the baby would be well cared for. I think that could have added something to this.
Also, as for the grandparents not taking the baby - if they knew Cuddy, they could still see the baby from time to time, be involved in her life, even if not raising her themselves. There's a potential middle ground there between keeping her and totally giving her up.
Cuddy is such a Queen
it's so sweet at the end with house wondering what'll happen with the kid
It's a great bit of acting where he subtly smiles seeing cuddy smile
House was one of the Best Shows on TV. Miss it.
Not going to lie, I sort of feel bad for the homeless woman who took the baby. She obviously really loved her, but unfortunately she was dealing with a sickly baby and there was no way she could possibly keep her. Though it would have been even more heart breaking if the baby had died under her care. If she had better circumstances she could have adopted her……
Of all the episdoes I have watched (so far), this particular scene made me cry HEAPS. 😢
My mother got diagnosed with pre eclampsia. She never talked about it as being that serious, and I know pre and post are different but seeing this is just plain scary as hell. Thankfully she was in a good hospital when I was born (and not the awful one my brother was born in) and I was induced a few weeks early to make sure we were both healthy.
My mom said there were quite a few doctors and people being brought in and she was used as an example to show them what to look for. Hopefully so situations like this don't happen.
So sweet. Cuddy is selfless in this episode
Angelina Sheppard not really
@@ashhar3928 Why? She gave grandparents a chance to adopt, they refused, so what is selfish in adopting a baby noonr wants?
Eugeniya Leshenko .. I think selfless is more when you do something based purely on the need of another with out benefit to your self which is why they call it selfless but Cuddy wanted a kid desperately and she had been trying but was unable.. this was more of a beneficial thing to both.. I like Cuddy I think what she did was amazing just don’t think it was selfless to me personally
Eugeniya Leshenko and I never said she was selfish I just said I didn’t really think her actions were selfless ..
@@yevgeniyaleshchenko849 She wasn't selfish but she wasn't selfless either. She was neither. It was the best solution so no one had to be selfish OR selfless.
Is it just me or was it obvious that Cuddy was going to adopt a child seem as she was going to name her last child Joy and this episode was called Joy to the world?
it only hit me after i watched the episode,to be fair😂
Wow! This is such a sweet episode! I'm glad that the baby got a new home!
Holy Hell that's Lucas Till!
What's sad in these situations is she said the father didn't even know but the father deserves a chance
Weirdly cheerful title for a clip that's so sad.
This show is all about the most bizarre outlandish medical problems but it’s realistic at the same time..a teen mom being too afraid to do anything and parents completely oblivious it’s…the drama in this show is better than anything on the air now.
