The "Hand of Hope" in Dr House

I can' t remember what was the name of that episode, but in an episode of this series, Dr House and his team must treat a pregnant woman. They eventually need to do surgery to the fetus in the way depicted in the Hand of Hope article in this website.

During the operation, House opened the womb and the baby's hand came out of it and clutched House's finger. I remember that scene very well because it was one of the very few times when House looked genuinely moved.
As far as I remember, in the episode, they meant to make the baby's hand come out of the womb, but House did not mean to make the baby's hand rest on his finger.

IIRC, House does correctly mention that the incident was simple reflex, although he was a bit flabbergasted.

It's possible. Honestly I don't remember all the details of this scene so you're probably right.
What I do remember though, and which struck me, is how the scene looked almost exactly like the picture on Snopes.com's article.
