Well this episode was a big step up from the last one, but still this episode wasn't as powerful as it could have been. On paper this episode looks really interesting and dramatic.
For a while the show was continually exploring the Cuddy wants a kid story line, but then it just disappeared for a while only to pop up again last episode and was seemingly resolved in this episode. Had they not put that story line on the shelf for so long the resolution would have been much more powerful. Because the story line wasn't present for so long I just didn't care about the outcome.
However I was impressed by guest star Vanessa Zima acting ability. She plays the mother of the baby that Cuddy is going to adopt and the scene between them after the baby is born is very touching.
The medical case in this episode was the kind of mystery that we love, complete with huge twists and turns with House getting the epiphany at the end. But the characters weren't developed properly so, again, I didn't care about them nor the outcome, which is sad because once the case was solved and the patients started getting better is when I started caring about them.
But the episode wasn't about them, it was about House and Cuddy. I'm not going to give anything away, but holy crap, you have to see the very end.
