there are no rock concerts in prison
oh.
I can't even--.
It's like the doggie funeral and/or the one with Brennan's dad trial, except, you know, in the text as opposed to just slightly underneath.
BRENNAN PUTS THE HANKIE IN BOOTH'S POCKET WHICH IS HIS SYMBOLIC HEART AND NOW SWEETS UNDERSTANDS WHAT GORDON GORDON MEANT WHEN HE SAID ONE OF THEM IS ACUTELY AWARE OF BEING IN LOVE AND STRUGGLES WITH IT DAILY BECAUSE THAT PERSON IS TEMPERANCE BRENNAN, GOD DAMMIT, THAT PERSON IS TEMPERANCE BRENNAN AND SHE IS IN LOVE WITH SEELEY BOOTH. THEY'RE GOING FOR IT - YOU GUYS, THEY ARE GOING FOR IT. I AM FULL OF JOY.
SHOW: "OUR ENDGAME, LET ME SHOW IT TO YOU."
BONES IS "THE HEART OF THE MATTER." !!!!
BRENNAN IS THE MOM, BOOTH IS THE DAD, AND SWEETS IS THEIR ADOPTED BABY DUCKLING who stands in for Zack, okay, I just had to throw that one out there, because it's true.
Also: Booth told his secret to Brennan, not Sweets. He was looking at Brennan the entire time. OH MY GOD. Oh my God.
Of course it's Brennan that's in love according to Wyatt's observation. Of course it is. Because - what did Booth say last week yesterday? "Someday, Bones. Someday." Booth doesn't struggle with this. Booth has made up his mind, end of story, I'm just waiting for you at the finish line, Bones. For Booth, being in love with Temperance Brennan isn't, like, it's not a terrifying, mind-altering, paradigm-shifting idea to get behind. There was probably a little denial for a while, but whatever, it is what it is. FOR BONES? FOR BONES, IT IS ACTUALLY ALL OF THESE THINGS. It's Brennan that still freaks about it, even if sometimes she doesn't realize why she's freaking out.) (baggers AND I WERE LITERALLY JUST TALKING ABOUT THIS YESTERDAY. BOOTH IS PATIENT; BRENNAN IS, whatever, SHE'S BRENNAN.
EDIT: BUT THEN, OMG BUT NOW I JUST WATCHED IT AGAIN, AND I DON'T KNOW. BOOTH PUTS HIS HAND OVER HIS HEART AFTER SHE PUTS IT IN THERE, AND ALL HE SEEMS TO CARE ABOUT IS THIS ~OMG BRENNAN PAST REVELATION~ SHE LAID OUT THERE, SO, I DON'T KNOW, I THOUGHT IT WAS TOO OBVIOUSLY GOING TO BE BOOTH SO OF COURSE THEY WERE GOING TO MAKE IT BRENNAN, BUT I DON'T KNOW, I JUST DON'T KNOW ANYMORE.
I DON'T KNOW WHICH OF THEM IS THE ONE ACUTELY AWARE OF BEING IN LOVE.
\o/ TO THE SHEER AWESOME OF THAT STATEMENT, BTW.
Also: way to go, Sweets, you essentially shipped them because they had chemistry as a man and a woman, period, without actually understanding their dynamic. IN A WAY, I AM NOT SURPRISED. Also also: way to go, Gordon Gordon, you really did diagnose Booth and Brennan the moment you met them in Season 2, didn't you?
YOU GUYS.
(And, oh my God, you could hear him saying, "I watched the lovely Dr. Brennan pick Agent Booth over her boyfriend and not even understand the true motivations why. That, Dr. Sweets, is how I know.")
(DR. GORDON GORDON WYATT, PLEASE COME BACK.)
Does your show have psychologists sitting around discussing the pathology of the who and the why of your ship being in love? Because mine does.
In conclusion, Brennan's bad cop was bad ass and awesome.
(Oh, my God, and between this and the last episode - so! many! callbacks! Gordon Gordon air-guitaring his way around Booth's apartment just like Booth did in Brennan's before The Frig Incident. Shooting inanimate objects [arguably, a pointed out reference]! The crossed out manuscript title just like Brennan's crossed out manuscript title because it was something Booth didn't like! OH SHOW.)
Also: have you ever stopped to think about it? Temperance Brennan is based on a character in a series of books by Kathy Reichs. In the show, Temperance Brennan is an author of a series of books featuring a character named Kathy Reichs and another, Andrew Ryan, who basically is Booth. Now, both she (Temperance Brennan) and Booth are the subjects of a psychological dissertation/book by Dr. Lance Sweets. MY HEAD. YOU GUYS. MY HEAD.
"As with most writers, it reveals as much about the writer than it does about the subject matter." So hey, remember the time Brennan is a successful author writing about a glorified version of herself who also makes out with a guy a lot like Booth? GORDON GORDON, YOU ARE A GENIUS.
