the doctor in the photo: famous example of emily deschanel's big sad blue eyes. brennan finds herself relating too much to the victim-- a doctor with few close relationships whose life revolved around her work. hank the security guard (ipso, facto, columbo, oreo!). brennan confesses to booth after he saves her from getting hit by a car, he rejects her and we get the most tragic sentence of "i will adjust".

THE HOLE IN THE HEART: end of the broadsky arc. vincent nigel murray is famously a cutie patootie and then dies in brennan's arms. "you're my favourite, everyone knows that". b&b get together for the first time after brennan cries in booth's arms.

the mummy in the maze: the squint squad tracks a serial killer who is literally scaring girls to death, with god knows how many red herrings. highlights include the origin of inappropriate workplace halloween costumes (no matter how insanely gorgeous they are), "we could be wonder woman and clark kent after a really bad date", and brennan spinning in her wonder woman costume

THE BLACKOUT IN THE BLIZZARD: while attempting to move booth's stadium chairs into his apartment, b&b get trapped in an elevator when the power goes out. hijinks ensue at the lab while they attempt to solve a case that could result in a global pandemic if they fail. sooooo much b&b touch time, including her climbing him like a tree (to reach the emergency escape door). they finally decide to be mature about their feelings and discuss in the end that they will be together someday soon, burning the day they predict it in booth's apartment.
