History Heartwarming / House

* Despite being very amicable and similar to each other, at the end of "Guardian Angels", House rejects Dr. Argenziano. However, unlike most of the others, he does it respectfully, even apologizing and calling him by his first name, Henry. Henry doesn't show any hard feelings either, as he understands that House doesn't need someone who thinks so much like him. They both agree to hang out sometime outside of work.

* Cuddy's daughter, Rachel, crawling into House's lap for the first time.

** At the end, Emma's hanging pictures of the team minus House. Then she picks up her baby, and if you read her lips, she calls him "Greg".

** You have Foreman calling his dad and his dad flying in to see him, and all their interactions. Seeing Foreman breaking down crying when talking to his father about the very real possibiity that he might be dead before the day is through is rather gut-wrenching but it also gives some real nice insight to their relationship, and they show a lot of love for one another through discreet means. Though most heartwarming is probably Mr. Foreman telling his son ''"I don't want to have to miss you."''

** House actually cared about an uninteresting patient, thus demonstrating to Cuddy that he has changed and he wants to fix his life, leading to [[TheyDo the crazy kids finally getting together]].

* In "After Hours", the entire last few minutes of the episode, where Wilson is there when House wakes up from surgery. Goes UpToEleven when he helps carry him. [[TrueCompanions As he always does.]]

* In "Living the Dream" it seems Amber has actually started to grow as a person. She recognized her own propensity for brow beating and took House's warnings about their relationship seriously. While still a bit passive aggressive, her 'test' to make sure Wilson chose a mattress he wanted speaks to a genuine desire to make their relationship work. Her support of his decision and subsequent regret in buying a waterbed is sweet as well, not taking time to mock or dismiss his decision but instead congratulating him for getting what he wanted and assuring him they'd fix it in the morning. It seemed like Wilson had finally found a partner who could challenge him without enabling the same habits that ruined his previous marriages, which makes the next two episodes all the more tragic...

* "Euphoria", especially the second part, is ripe with these moments (strewn in in-between all the tearjerking and AdultFear and whatnot).

* The auditorium slowly filling up to capacity as House gives his lecture/tells the story about his leg in "Three Stories". Plus one of the most hopeful lines for an asshole HollywoodAtheist: "it gives me more comfort to think that this [life] isn't merely a test".
* "Honeymoon". ''House finally hugs somebody''. (Granted, he was ''in'' a hug before in "Sports Medicine," but that was only because the wife of the PatientOfTheWeek started crying on him.)

** You have Foreman calling his dad and his dad flying in to see him, and all their interactions. Seeing Foreman breaking down crying when talking to his father about the very real possibiity that he might be dead before the day is through is rather gut-wrenching but it also gives some real nice insight to their relationship, and they show a lot of love for one another through discreet means. Though most heartwarming is probably Mr. Foreman telling his son ''"I don't want to have to miss you"''.

* "One Day, One Room". Despite her case being medically mundane, House spends the whole episode consoling and chatting with a rape victim, to the point that she's willing to discuss what happened. Initially, House ''didn't'' want to treat her, but not because her case was mundane -- because he says he's "not good at this kind of thing", the implication being he doesn't want to make matters worse for her. The girl ''still'' insists on being treated by him, because she trusts him -- a man she met ''once'', but showed her genuine empathy. Yes, we're talking about the same House.
