I am doing my summer re-watch of Bones and have been cataloguing all the Booth and Brennan moments. I thought I'd share them. :) The rest of the season will be posted as and when I watched them again. Note: Reviews are only for my flist.
Feel free to comment / discuss / enjoy. ♥
101. Pilot
review Booth picks up Brennan at the airport (attempted rescue) and begs her to work with him - she demands full participation and he gets Cullen to agree saying "she's amazing." He also calls her "a genius."
He taunts her at the firing range. HOT + CLOSE!
He repeatedly calls her Bones and she says at least 3 times "Don't call me Bones" but he gets away with it a couple of times too. He also uses her given name, calling her Temperance in his office to get her attention:
Brennan: "Zack said you wanted to see me."
Booth: "Yeah, something you don't like to talk about, families.....(she starts to walk away), Temperance....(she looks back).... partners, they share things, it builds trust..."
Brennan: "Since when are we partners?"
Booth:" I apologise for the assumption."
He hands her a warrant to search the senators place and they make nice. ♥
Case solved they attend the funeral, as Brennan shares her family history ("my parents disappeared when I was fifteen, nobody knows what happened to 'em") with Booth he admits he wants to catch as many murders as people he has sniped and although Brennan snorts and says "please you don't think there's some sort of cosmic balance sheet" she admits "I'd like to help you with that."
102. The Man in the SUV
review Booth and Brennan find their funk this episode with a ton of bickering. She doesn't say "Don't call me Bones" once this episode, however, she does challenge him, a lot!
Brennan is initially amused Booth has a girlfriend telling him alpha males tend to live alone. But later she seems jealous of Tessa after seeing Booth and Tessa half naked when she shows up at Booths place with an ID. The squints try and convince her to hook up with Booth. "I think he likes you, god, if I were you I'd buy a ticket on that ride." Angela even heads out to meet Tessa.
Homeland security guy: "Booth says you're the best." :)
End scene in bar drinking - Brennan touch his arm and says he's saved so many people.
103. A Boy in the Tree
review Two more "don't call me Bones" moments and plenty more bickering - in fact the episode starts with tension in the car (with Zack). At the school where they find the body in the tree Booth refers to Brennan as "my forensic anthropologist." much to her chagrin. He also tells her "You're bad with people."
After Brennan tells the mother her son was a good man Booth compliments her saying "Very impressive Temperance. You got that one right."
Booth's gut tells him the case stinks and Brennan doesn't trust his instinct but in the end she admits "I think you have a subconscious knack for reading body language, stress in the voice, other subtle yet discernible indicators. It's not mysterious but it is impressive and in the future I will try to accord it an appropriate degree of objective worth." His response "Thank you, Temperance." is followed by him making her move away from "my bar" to sit with the squints. She leaves his new Jeff' ID card on the counter. ♥
1.04. The Man in the bear
review Booth and Brennan go to Washington state - Brennan asking Goodman, "are you suggesting I take this opportunity to have sex with Booth on a field trip?"
Booth appears jealous both of Brennan's unlimited expenses:
Booth: "You know what you're a smart ass"
Brennan:" Objectively I'd say I'm very smart although it has nothing to do with my ass."
Booth: "You know, I tell you what, you can take me out to dinner, put it on your tab."
Brennan: "That doesn't seem ethical"
Booth: "You still want that gun now don't you?"
Brennan: "We'll start with breakfast!"
(He does give her his gun at the end too - thus keeping his promise).
He also gets jealous of the men hitting on her: When the Sheriff asks Brennan if she has dinner plans Booth throws the file at him and says "We're working" as he places his hand on Brennan's lower back and leads her away. As they dance at the bar Booth tells Brennan "You're the hottest thing this town has seen in a long time." At the end Brennan tells Booth she may return to ski with Charlie, she puts Booth off his food and tries to feed him cornflakes. (There was even suggestion that she slept with Charlie as she wasn't in her room when Booth went to find her for breakfast!).
105. A Boy in the Bush
review At her FBI/Jeff' speech Booth suggest the FBI agent in her book, Andy Lister, is based on him.
Booth watches Brennan work with the foster kids and sees a different side to her. He tries to get her to tell him about her time in care and guesses she was kept apart from her brother. Eventually she says "I was a foster child until my grandfather got me out......Booth, I'll tell you all about it one day."
When Booth tells Brennan she has to uphold the law if she is going to work on cases outside the lab with him she surprises him by saying, "tell you what, if I can't respect the law I can at least respect you."
When Brennan tells Booth she crashed her car because she parked the way Booth told her - he giggles and she says "Your mean!" *g*
At end Booth tells a dressed up Brennan "you look nice, better than nice, you look er.....very..." Booth asks how she knew he would keep her promise to the foster kid. She said "because you wanna go to heaven."
106. The Man in the Wall
review Brennan gets high on meth' at a club with Angela. Booth shows up with Tessa.
Booth talks about taking vacation - Brennan tells Booth he is being snippy and tense. Booth says several times he found Brennan at a musueum. Tootie the slobbery dog finds the dead girl - Brennan says Booth is sincere. Brennan starts to like hearing Booth come up with scenarios. Tessa delivers a clean shirt for Booth and Angela puts her off going on vacation. Brennan says Booth isn't the kind of guy who bails on relationships.
At end - Booth heads off on vacation leaving Brennan in the bar.
107. A Man on Death Row 1st Howard Epps episode.
review Brennan tries to get a gun - Booth denies her the license. ♥
Amy, the lawyer, asks Booth for a favour and he asks Brennan for her help "I would appreciate it if you two didn't bond." Amy asks Brennan if she likes Booth cos "I'm picking up a sex vibe." Brennan says it's "tension" and says she isn't interested.
Whilst digging up the bodies Brennan asks what Booth would usually be doing at the weekend:
Booth: "Hey, that's none of your business ok. I'm not having sex with Amy and I have never, ever, cheated on any woman that I have ever been with, NEVER!"
At Wong Foo's they drink and Booth has apple pie!!
**108. The Girl in the Fridge
review Brennan's old professor turns up and takes her out for dinner and she is late for work. Booth is not jealous but teases her and firmly joins TEAM BRENNAN when a competition starts.
Booth tells Michael "She's a good partner though, what you see if what you get, that's a rare quality. That's just between us." When Booth learns Brennan's professor is working for the defense he is careful with her:
Booth: "Bones, you ok?"
Brennan:" Yeah, why wouldn't I be?"
Booth: "Cos the nutty professor is grading your paper. What did he give you anyway? I was always happy with a B."
Brennan : "I never got a B and I never will!"
Booth : "That's my girl!"
When B+B find the couple with the fridge are into kinky sex they play with the toys and discuss sex goes kinky when it's no longer good, Brennan agrees with Booth saying she feels no desire to be dominant or feel pain during sex and Booth teases her saying "Are you sure, cos you can be very bossy!?" She whips him with some sex stick!! LOL
Brennan goes on trial against her professor and Booth gets super supportive. Booth struggles to be honest with Brennan when she is tough to follow on the stand. Booth puts his faith in Brennan and she returns to stand and wins case after Booth told the lawyer to ask Brennan about her past to rouse sympathy with the jury - she is mad but he sort of apologises saying "it was my case too." He shows up at the lab and says "we have a case" he apologises to her on some scaffolding and offers her his coat. She admits she would have done the same thing thus forgiving him.
**109. The Man in the Fallout Shelter
review Booth brings Brennan a Xmas gift - a dead body. She sends Booth to party with Angela and gets the guys to help = lockdown!
The drugs cause Booth to hallucinate and he is too cute and talks very closely to Brennan about God as she tries to dispute Xmas.
Angela realises Brennan's parent disappeared around Xmas and Brennan discovers Booth has a little boy. "Nothing brings people together like a Xmas lung fungus."
At dinner Brennan learns everyone is religious and says something about Booth having a child out of wedlock. He looks hurt.
Brennan tells Angela about the presents she has never opened since her parents left - Booth hears the story from the door.
At the end Booth leaves for Sid's to meet Parker and he asks Brennan to come - she does and they drink.
110. The Woman at the Airport
review Second out of town trip for B+B, this time to LA. Brennan blackmails Booth into letting her drive the car "I'm not above telling the FBI what kind of car you got."
Agent Finn tells Brennan she set up the crime scene based on what she had read in Brennan's book - Booth tells her, "She got that from me."
Brennan: "We are born unique, our experiences mould and change us. We become someone, all of us. And to have that taken away by a murderer to be erased from existence against our will it's just......
Booth: "Evil!?"
Brennan: "Unacceptable! These bones you bring me, I give them a face, I say their names out loud, I return them to their loved ones. And you, arrest the bad guy. I like that!"
Booth: "So do I!" *beautiful smile*
111. The Woman in the Car
review When Brennan is interviewed about her book she asks how she did to which Booth replies, "Never say you don't like kids." When she sees his car seat in the SUV she asks whether Parker was an accident. Booth tells her "it never occurred to you that that might be a sensitive topic?" Children is a topic throughout as they have to save a little boy from mercenaries.
Booth: "If this works I'm going to buy you a puppy!"
Cullen: "Paladin. Defend of the faith. Protector. It suits you Booth."
Brennan: "You know what? You tough guys are all very sentimental." (to Booth)
Brennan: "You know, I feel things Booth." *is offended*
Booth: "I never said you didn't Bones."
Brennan: "I'm a professional too. I do better work if I only see the finger and not the child. It doesn't mean I'm like them."
Booth: "Look I know Bones."
At the end Booth makes her wait outside saying "Bones, these guys aren't like anyone else you've come up against, please just be someone aren't for the next ten minutes and you hang back. Please!"
112. The Superhero in the Alley
review At the start: Brennan: "Don't use your charm smile on me"
Booth: "What?" *grin* "It's a mark of respect, that's all."
The team discuss the fact Brennan "reveal much more of your world view in your writing than you realise" ...... "Such as FBI guys are hot and Angela here wants to have sex with me".
At bowling alley Booth tells Brennan to "try not to piss everyone off." And when Booth tells her about winning bowling games she says she won some award - "My God it's like we lead parallel lives." *sarcasm*
In the lab Brennan seems upset that Booth said she is like the victim isolated but without superpowers, Booth makes her feel better (telling her she does fight crime) and she says that is his superpower.
Back at the bowling alley Brennan starts to make conclusions from evidence and blames it on "spending so much time with you - I mean that as a compliment." Booth calls Brennan "Baby!" "Cold hard facts baby!" *grin* He blocks her from walking, sort of grabbing her.
At the lab they again relate to Brennan's book - and she teases Booth that he falls "far far short" of his fictional character in her book.
When they discover the victim "wanted to make a difference in the world before he died" Brennan tells Booth "I told you he was more like you than me." ♥
When Brennan hits the murderer in the arm causing him to attack her Booth jumps to her defence with handcuffs, "I got him!"
**113. The Woman in the Garden
review Brennan says she is reading "a book about improving work relationships". "Sarcasm is never helpful."
Brennan pleads with Booth not to make her scare a Spanish lady with a baby. "I am asking you as a favour not to make me do this. To scare her. Please?"
She visits him at work to apologise and admits she is no cop. He says it's fine.
At the end Booth learns the gang "put a hit out on your lady scientist." Protective!Booth steps up as he goes after the gang leader to warn him "If anything happens to her, I will kill you!" *swoon* When he is late for the funeral he asks, "Am I in trouble?" So cute.
114. The Man on the Fairway
review Brennan tells Booth about the bone fragments not from the plan and he mocks her saying "You miss me!" She slaps his hands away from the evidence.
Booth gets annoyed when Jesse tries to bond with Brennan but agrees to help her out on the case. He opens her car door, pushes her two hands on her shoulder from the lab and talks directly to Zack after she asks him not to ignore her assistant. This man will do anything for her!
In the car Brennan is "poking and prodding" and tests Booth gut asking if he believes Jesse murdered his father. "Are you testing out my instincts Bones?" - "Poking and prodding! I learn from the best." She pinches his cheek and he smiles. ♥
Brennan defends Booth to Jesse... "Booth says......" and realises Jesse is not the man she should ask for help. At Wong Foo's she asks Booth to look over her parents file "another favour?" Booth agrees to help saying "I'm proud you asked Temperance." She also tells him "it's kinda sweet" that he and Zack have their male bonding, not speaking thing and Booth says "Well, your people are my people." She smiles at the realisation "I have people!" She touches him on the shoulder as she leaves.
**115. Two Bodies in the Lab
review Brennan starts online dating and Booth disapproves telling her it's "creepy" and asking "What if the guy's a psycho?" Romantic!Booth asks "Whatever happened to, you know, seeing someone across a crowded room, eyes meeting, that old black magic gets you in a spell?"
After Brennan is shot at protective!Booth steps up and tells Brennan, "Bones, I'm not letting you out of my site until I find out who tried to kill you." Angela tells her, "Booth is a big, strong, hot guy who wants to save your life, I mean you actually have a knight in shining standard issue FBI body armour."
Booth goes on about the date both at the lab and the crime scene and seems annoyed when they interrogate David. David asks, "Ok, did I miss something because I don't wanna get in the way of something between you two..." Both Booth and Brennan seem surprised and both say no but Booth still places his body between them and tells David he can leave.
Booth takes Brennan home, "You think you're staying here with me?" They talk about music, sing/dance to Foreigner, Hot Blooded. When David calls Booth apologises "I hope he didn't think....I wouldn't wanna you know ruin things for you." After asking for a soda Booth opens the fridge and it explodes. KABOOM!
At the hospital Brennan learns things about Booth from his x-rays. That he was tortured, that he tried to shield a man.
Not until Hodgins visits causing Booth to ask, "Why are you here, is Brennan alright?" do the guys realise that it's an inside job. Hodgins tells Booth he is not to blame but Booth simply states, "How is it not my fault? It was my job to protect her and instead I hand her over to him."
They rescue Bones just in time and Booth uses his body to unhook her, causing her to hug him as he says "It's alright, I'm right here."
Back at the hospital he says, "You know, I let you down Bones. I'm..I'm sorry." She tells him she has a date and Booth smiles and says "Yeah I figured you didn't dress up for me." Brennan leaves but returns and sits down with him saying her head still hurts.
116. The Woman in the Tunnel
review Booth gets all protective in the tunnel when Bones runs off, "Don't go running off into the dark." He gives her a gun twice in this episode.
In the car B+B compare Harold and Booth's military past:
Brennan: "You killed a pregnant women who was holding a child?"
Booth: "Look, if you really wanna know what I've done, I'll tell you, but you better be ready for the truth. (He looks at her and she turns away.) Good choice Bones."
At FBI they discuss the case "Bones, you do realise you're discussing motive here, psychology?" He grins at her and she says flatly "It won't happen again."
Brennan puts her gun into Booth's pocket, "That's not cocked is it, cos where that's pointing....."!!!
117. The Skull in the Desert
review Brennan goes to help Angela and as soon as Ang goes to bed she calls Booth for help saying, "I want you to get federal on his ass."
Booth shows up and Brennan is in bed. She asks him to, "Wait outside while I get dressed" and he refuses, "No.........I can stand here, close my eyes, eat my donut, it's the best I can do."
Brennan says Booth is "a stodgy traditionalist when it comes to relationships, Buddy."
Brennan pushes Booth out of sheriffs office.
118. The Man with the Bone
review PIRATES! and treasure. Booth briefly man handles Brennan when they arrive at the money pit site at the start - he kind of grabs her and moves to the other side of her.
Protective!Booth is always on hand as Harry the twisted FBI morgue guy flirts with Brennan. He says "She's intense" and calls her "Bossy" and makes remarks about her "wearing a rubber suit" when he learns she dives. His best quote though describes the B+B relationship perfectly: "an intense conversation can be the most wonderful type of intercourse" :)
Brennan asks Booth "Are rangers afraid of Seals?" when they learn the murderer was a Navy Seal to which Booth replies "Rangers aren't afraid of anyone."
**119. The Man in the Morgue
review On 'vacation' to New Orleans to ID victims of Hurricane Katrina Brennan ends up with voodoo amnesia and is arrested for murder. Booth flies down to take care of her, barging into the exam room at the hospital and turning her face to see her bruises.
Booth removes Brennan's earring from the crime scene and says repeatedly that she did not commit the murder:
Booth:"She didn't do it!"
Booth: "I just know ok. I'd bet my professional career on it. I already did!"
Booth: "There's no way that Bones killed Leger, it's just not her, I mean look at her."
He defends he when Detective Harding questions her and tries to arrest her and tells Caroline "She's a brilliant forensic anthropologist!" He also pulls her away and leads her a lot in this episode and never stops protecting her.
Booth holds her phone for her whilst she talks to the Jeff' and studies bodies.
At lunch Booth says "You're just the type of woman that fights.......you're a surprising woman, sometimes that enough for getting away." When she asks him, "Why are you nice to me?" we get a lovely exchange:
Booth: "Because, they think they get away with it. They burn their victim. They blow him up. They toss him in the ocean. They bury them in the desert. They throw them to wood chippers. Sometimes, you know, years go by, they relax. Then they start living their lives like they didn't do anything wrong. Like they didn't spend somebody else's life in order to get what they got. They think they're safe from retribution. But, you make those bastards unsafe. That's why I'm nice to you."
Brennan: "I couldn't do that without you Booth."
Booth: "Yeah, so erm, you should be a little nicer to me huh?"
Brennan: "I really should." ♥
Booth tries to protect her against the Secte Rouge murderer guy but Brennan pokes him in the eye.
And finally Booth "Proves something" when he hands her her mother's earring with a smile.
120. The Girl in the Graft
review B+B visit Cullen and his daughter, Amy in hospital - "How appropriate, you two bickering in an adolescent wing!" Booth tries (clears his throat) several times to stop Bones asking about Amy's graft. As soon as she discovers the cancer came from the graft Booth backs her up 100%. He even corrects the doctor who calls her Ms Brennan, saying "Dr Brennan!" *g*
Booth lets Brennan talk to Amy too, "Let me.." - "Easy." He seems to trust her empathy a little more.
At funeral home he tells Brennan to put on her sad face! *g*
121. The Soldier on the Grave
review Angry!Booth / Angsty!Booth / Sad!Booth make major appearances in this episode - he is short tempered with both Brennan (and Hodgins) very early on.
Brennan goes with Booth in the car "just wanted to keep you company" but really she admits she thinks Booth "might be too close to this one." They each call the other crappy liars and Brennan says "I'm your partner. Let me be your partner!" In her attempt to keep him objective, however, she thinks she said the wrong thing and has upset Booth by telling he he isn't being tough enough.
B+B meet Hank and he later tells Booth he should talk with "your girlfriend" about Kosovo. Booth explains "she's my partner."
When Angela says Brennan should be there for Booth Brennan misunderstands saying "friends with benefits" is not happening. Angela says sometimes a simple touch can be everything. And later when Booth opens up and tells Brennan about killing a child father she touches his arm and he cries and strokes her hand. ♥
**122. The Woman in Limbo
review Booth strips Brennan out of her lab coat at the start and helps her put on her jacket before leading her - arm around shoulder - out of the Jeff' and to court - away from Angela and Goodman and Zack who are all trying to get her to do stuff.
When David shows up, Booth steps between them again putting his arm around Brennan. He seems jealous upon hearing David read the manuscript of Brennan's second book - Bone Free - "yuk on the title" and asks "Am I in it?" to which Brennan replies "No!" but David says, "Definitely!" :)
Brennan returns for her notes and Booth and David circle each other "So are you two....?"..."Yeah, sorta. Is that a problem?"... "Yeah. You know Bones is kinda literal so in future no jokey advice on court day."
When Brennan sees her mother she goes to her office. Both recognises Christine and Brennan and calls to cancel Brennan's court appearance. He goes to Brennan and listens as she tells her story before telling her, "Temperance, go home!"
Booth shows up past midnight with "Wong Foo's" claiming he saw the light on. He tells Brennan they can open a file on her Mum.
It is Booth who has to tell Brennan her parents were living under assumed identities. He can barely say the words, knowing the impact they are having on her. He visits Russ and brings him to DC and convinces Brennan to speak with her brother.
Meanwhile Booth asks Angela "Why do you think that Bones asked her boyfriend to read her book and not me?" Angela's face is totally priceless!!!
When Booth discovers the real names of her parents Brennan slaps Russ forcing him to tell her their real names, "What is my real name, Russ?" She talks with Angela on the balcony about her parents leaving and says "I miss that, someone caring where I am all the time" ..... just as Booth shouts "Bones, you up there....?" Brennan and Angela share a grin. ♥
When they find DNA of her mother and another person in the car Booth touches Brennan's arm.
He again brings chinese food to her apartment and tries to make her feel better by saying all parents have secrets. The next morning he find Brennan sleeping on her office sofa and tells her the DNA is from a guy in witness protection but when Angela enters with the drawing from Russ Booth says he'll "play hardball" and put pressure on the witness protection people ..... Angela is impressed, "You know sometimes he is just .....WOOOSH!" *g* She and Brennan share a smile.
When Booth learns the location of McVicar he comes to get Brennan from the lab saying "Let's go for a drive." After she thanks the squints he puts his arm around her (again) and leads her from the platform.
There is a mini bicker session as they meet McVicar - Brennan finds the guns on him and Booth says: "I'm always right" to which Brennan replies, "No you're not!" LOL As McVicar lays out his story Brennan breaks down unable to handle the idea of her mothers affair and her parents fake identities..."My name is Dr Temperance Brennan..." Booth watches on and finally takes her into his arms, "I know who you are. Ssssh, It's gonna be ok."
Protective!Booth steps up when they return to the farm to confecate weapons as he tells McVicar - "you attack her and I'll drill you through the forehead." On the return journey Booth lets Brennan drive for the first time - "a reward, for totally pissing off a hitman." He asks if he can read her book and she simply says "Let it go."
After collecting Russ they go back to Brennan's apartment and Booth sees the manuscript dedication 'To my partner and friend, Special Agent Seeley Booth'. Speaking with Russ about children he looks up at Brennan and says "Girls are nice." They raise a toast: Booth, "To us." Brennan: "To what we're becoming!" ♥
