BEST BONES AND BOOTH MOMENTS

  • --- Seated at the diner with Booth and Sweets, Booth notices that Bones is upset. He discovers that she and Angela have had a fight. He says to Bones, "I'd do anything for you. I'd die for you, I'd kill for you, but I am not getting in the middle of two best friends."
  • --- As Bones leaves Sweets and Booth at the diner, Booth gently grabs her hand and reassures her that everything will work out between her and Angela. Bones pats his hand and thanks him.

  • --- At the end, Booth is upset he was unable to tell that the suspect was lying and feels he is not fully back. Bones reassures him that despite being at "half speed" due to his brain injury, he is still "twice as fast as everyone else."

  • --- When Bones realizes that Booth was able to notice "something", she says to him, "See, you've still got it." And when Booth asks if she'd like to know what he saw, she sweetly replies, "Nope, it can wait. I trust you."

BONES AND BOOTH ROMANTIC DEVELOPMENTS
  • --- Booth, of course, is still very much on board it seems with the idea that he is in love with Bones. (We all know it's the truth!) He's always comforting her, he smiles at her, he compliments her, and he held her hand.

  • --- Bones it seems is slowly coming around to the idea of a relationship with Booth. Not only is it noticeable through her actions, the patting his hand, touching his arm, and smiling at him, but also through her words, she reassures him, thanks him, values his opinion, and says she trusts him.

When Booth, Brenna and Sweets were in the diner Booth grabbed Brennan's hand! It was some sort of obvious PDA. Sweets seemed pretty interested in this bit of not so partner-y action. And it was just plain cute. A B/B moment that made you smile!
