The ending scene in the S4E21 “Mayhem on a Cross” episode is one of my favorite scenes.
The way that Booth and Brennan are like Sweets older siblings or parents just warms my heart.
How they both decide to share a vulnerable moment from their childhood with Sweets in order to show him that he is not alone after finding out he was abused as a kid prior to being adopted.
And then the look on Sweets’ face when he realizing what Gordon Gordon was talking about earlier when he said that Booth and Brennan aren’t mutually repressing their love and attraction for each other, but rather “one of them is acutely aware of that attraction and struggles daily with it.”
Booth consoling Brennan over her sharing of her trauma is what makes Sweets realize that Booth has known all along that he is in love with Brennan and struggles with that fact because Brennan isn’t ready to confront her feelings for him.
It’s just such an amazing and moving episode.
