Honestly my favorite sweets episode. It’s easily looked over because of how “fast” he seemed to bounce back after Caroline talked to him in his office but really it should have been highlighted more. I would’ve like to have seen him eventually confide in someone like Hodgins or Angela. Or at least have one of them help him and be there.
yeah one of the (many) issues i have with canon’s treatment of sweets is that it really likes to rush through his subplots. it’s not exclusive to 6x11 at all, but it’s painfully obvious there considering that the issues he’s dealing with are like. really fucking heavy actually? like even if caroline’s speech did help him feel less shit about himself he still like. saw someone die violently in front of him. you don’t just get over that.
and oh man i love this episode too but i totally agree that the main team should’ve been more involved in keeping an eye on him. i get that sweets is an adult and everyone has their jobs to do, but it’s not like what happened to him was even a remotely small thing. and once you get the scene where hodgins confides in him without seeming to care much about sweets it just comes off as downright cold imo :^/
