• --- 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."
  

• --- 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.

• --- Cam and Booth are both aware of the newly developing relationship between Angela and Wendell. Where will this relationship lead and how will Hodgins and Brennan respond to the news?

• --- David is afraid of birds and Emily does a lot of work for animal charities, so this episode is one that Hart Hanson is really working in aspects of both their personal lives.
