Booth once said that good people leave marks on us: this is Jessica leaving marks on Brennan. What struck me in watching this, though, is how much alike she and Jessica are in some ways (seen here in Jessica’s “I find that when I’m feeling emotionally unstable, concentrating on my work helps me to cope” line) and how alike they’re becoming in other ways, with Jessica’s ‘vibes’ wearing off on Brennan. (And for her and Clark, and her and Arastoo, and her and Daisy, and her and Wend- oh, never mind.) One of the highlights of the show for me is Brennan’s different relationships with the squinterns, but I’ve got an especially soft spot for her and Jessica. He’s going to find out who killed the idealistic senator. Whatever his future holds politically, for now, he’s going to do his job. To his credit, Aubrey doesn’t really listen. (Which, since that’s one of the reasons I love Booth, works well for me.) He’s once more the protective older brother, something he apparently can’t help.
I like Booth’s support of him, both then, and later, when he cautions Aubrey to stay in the background when they return to the victim’s house. (But catnip tea? Ew.)Īlso? Here, their relationship gives us some great moments with the other characters.įirst up, there’s Aubrey telling Booth about this political aspirations.

I like that they’re friends first, and that we’re seeing it develop over time I like that they’re doing something as normal as watching a TV show together, I like that he knows her favorite drink, and brings it to her. Anyway…I think Aubrey and Jessica might be my favorite love story on Bones after Booth and Brennan. It’s an embarrassment of riches for any self-respecting straight female.)Īhem. (Yes, it’s true for those who are keeping count: I have a thing for almost all the guys on the show. That combination of nobility, loyalty, and snark? I’m a goner. That’s all I need.”įortunately, the show has many stories to tell, and that means we can touch base with Booth and Brennan, enjoy seeing them happy and learn that Brennan calls the Flyers the ‘Philadelphia Whozits’ while the primary character story is carried by others – in this case, Aubrey and Jessica. What really matters is just this: that they know and cherish the truth about one another – even things others might not always appreciate. While I’ve always enjoyed the heat between them – the eye sex, the love scenes (and allusions to such) after they became a couple – it’s merely the icing on the cake for me. It’s also why my favorite Booth and Brennan scene from this episode is actually the one in the SUV, where he tells her that he doesn’t want her to be on her best behavior, that he wants her to just be herself, her “usual, wonderful, but very direct self.”
It’s particularly good to see them in such a good place given Booth’s relapse and Jared’s death.īut the fact that there’s not really much more you can say about it than that leads to the fandom spending the better part of several days discussing the door to Booth and Brennan’s bedroom, and how privacy works given the windows.
(And the tape measure? Outright cackling with laughter.) They made me grin, and it’s hard to argue with that. I’m not saying I don’t love those scenes, from Brennan pulling him to her by the tie, to the way they fall onto the bed, to her surprising him with the TV despite her reservations. Here’s the conundrum of storytelling: we like our characters to be happy, but when they’re too happy – like say, when the biggest problem they’re facing is whether or not a TV in the bedroom will negatively impact their sex life – they’re not as interesting.
