Nigel Murray stole the episode "Please don't make me leave." As soon as he began speaking I utterly lost it and began sobbing to the point where Bones actually thought I was dying and wouldn't leave me alone for an hour after. Ryan's acting in this episode was pure Emmy worthy material and it'll be along time before I can hear "Lime in the coconut" without sobbing.

And I for one think they didn't have sex. I'm sorry, but Bones is smart; even when she's hurting as much as she was she wouldn't go for mourning!sex, even with Booth. And he wouldn't let her;m he'd know it wasn't meaningful, he'd want a more happier experience. Mourn!sex isn't a good thing. Just my opinion though :)

I agree with you on all counts. I am absolutely crushed about VNM (he was my favorite squintern) but that scene was so. very. well. done. And I don't think they had sex either. But of COURSE they left it ambiguous so we'd all argue amongst ourselves about it. Gah. XD

I third this all! I'm going to miss VNM so much tbh, I thought he was the most... dynamic? of the interns in that I always had a reaction to the things he said/did because he was so well-acted and, well, basically adorable. And even though Bones had that smile on her face in the conversation with Angela, I just don't see it happening! yet anyway ;)

If we were talking about a couple that doesn't know each other as well and as intimately as Booth and Brennan, I'd totally agree with you about mourning sex being kind of weird and inappropriate. But they do know each other so well and they know they love each other. That makes it ok for me. If they did have sex I can't see it as even being strictly mourning sex. Like it might start out that way, but with them you know there's real feelings of mutual love and desire and respect behind it, so it wouldn't be meaningless. Just my opinion.

Gotta agree with ya.
It can go either way -- the brilliance of HH at his best -- but if they did have sex IMO it wasn't spur of the moment comfort sex, it was Brennan coming to HIM, asking HIM ... and in my mind that is what he had to have after all they've been thru. She needed to be the one who was ready. And she was. They both are. It's just been about ... when.
If they didn't have sex, SOMETHING happened, something important. I could go that route just as easily. Maybe the EitB time was Brennan "coming home" to her true home: Booth's arms. Doesn't have to have been sex, just the coming home.
Either way I am one grinning, flailing, SUPER happy camper.
This season ... gah! What a ride -- and what a destination!!!!

Yes, I definitely think it's possible sex did not happen, but it seems clear to me from the little smile Brennan gave Angela, Angela's insanely happy grinning for the rest of the ep, and the way B&B walked off arm in arm, that something good happened in that bed. :)
