Look look I love Brennan's adoration for all her interns. But there is just something about the way Dr. Edison and her interact.

Like, Clark Edison is the FIRST intern she has when she has to deal with Zack not being around. Not because he is caught. But due to his deployment. And really, with him we learn he isn't really even the first. He's the one who STAYS. Zack returns during his time but she doesn't get rid of Clark Edison. She keeps him around and he remains an intern.

She even gets some more as well as time goes on. And we see how that goes - she develops close relationships with all of them - throughout the series. We see her dismiss an intern during S11 when they don't do well and the others consider that one a friend within a short period. New interns may get joked and mocked and judged quickly but they are also welcomed rather early in by this point.

And much of this is due to what Clark Edison went through. He dealt with a Brennan not ready to deal with Zack being gone. Not ready to process a new relationship with a new intern. She wasn't ready to welcome a new face into her life and learn about someone new. We see how that grows and changes over time ("I think it's time you call me Temperance, Dr. Edison" is a massive shift in their relationship for example) but I think one of the things that tells us a lot is when we learn of his first internship and his whole murder suspect moment.

The way she writes an entire article defending him. The way he was ready to resign and she was ready to defend. He is one of the interns who is very similar to her after all. And she knows the important of scientific accuracy, which is why he was going to resign. And yet she wrote an entire article talking about mistakes made and how the scientific community needs to acknowledge they've all made mistakes and not judge him for it. (Likely also including in it that he was still a young intern who learned and grew from that error and strives to never do so again)

In fact, her learning this about him is probably what made her see WHY he was very "no personal life at work" and "can we stick to the science" when they first meet. Why they had to break though his barriers to get to know him. Why he was so like her and she could hear Sweets inside her going "it's almost like he went through an experience that shaped him to rely on work in order to"

Anyways, I just absolutely love that her interns tend to be reflections for her in some way. But also different. And Edison being the first we see (besides Zack) to become a Doctor disappeared a bit earlier that his arrivals become this sort of joy in the reflection. A reminder of her "I'll follow the evidence" and "procedures/rules" matter. We see it every single episode but he shows it back to us and as well his passion for history reflects in her during some eps. It's just ... I love that he went from "she doesn't like me"/"I don't want him here" to "I have worked with you for a decade, if anyone can do it I know it's you"/"we all make mistakes Dr. Edison" the sheer confidence and respect is just

Rewatching Bones again and I got to the first AU episode, and they're so good. Bouncer Wendall is so fun. Zack shows up again, which is always amazing. Clark not having a stick up his ass. This entire episode has me giggling
