History Heartwarming / Bones

** What she has to tell them is [[spoiler: the woman's money worries are over. The woman wants to send her granddaughter to college to be a doctor but the granddaughter states they can't afford that. Lionel had a single coin with him that is worth a fortune... meaning that he will be able to send his granddaughter to college even though he is long gone]]

--> '''Booth''': Take that you dirty rat!

* When the team manages to re-unite the kidnapped deaf and mute abused child with her original birth parents in "The Signs in the Silence".
** Bones sharing some personal memories of her childhood with Amy in order to help her try to remember where she lived prior to her kidnapping. She is able to remember a stuffed bunny, which is in her missing person's picture.
** Amy's reaction to finding out that Bones can find out where she grew up by using her wisdom teeth.

* The season 8 episode "The Patriot in Purgatory" ends with a funeral for a homeless veteran who had run into the Pentagon during 9/11 and saved three people from dying. Along with the the main team, Squinterns, and family of the veteran, the three people the man saved from the Pentagon are also at the funeral.
** Earlier in the episode, Booth and Brennan are interviewing one of the rescued Pentagon employees. She speaks about the man who saved her with nothing but respect, was concerned and asked if he was alright, and seemed genuinely sad to hear that he had died shortly after saving her life.

** Added to this is when he gives her a [[TheSmurfs Brainy Smurf]] figure and when she complains that she likes Smurfette (citing an incident in middle school where her crush deliberately mixed them up to humiliate her), Booth tells her that she's better than Smurfette who only has her looks, indicating that he believes Bones to be both brilliant and beautiful, even before they're a couple.

* Brennan supporting Zack during his dissertation defense in "Judas on a Pole".

** That whole scene reveals just how deep the intellectual connection between Brennan and Zack really was. Brennan knows immediately how to reach Zack and explain to him where he had made a mistake, and instead of defending himself when she points out the flaws in his logic he accepts it, exactly as if she as his teacher was pointing out one last error to him.

* Booth is shocked that Brennan and Sweets never got any birthday parties and then reveals why they are so special to him: even though Booth's father was a drunk who beat him often he ALWAYS got sober when Booth's birthday came around and threw him a party.

* The end of “The Heiress In The Hill” when Hodgins finds his brother after the brother ran away from the home he was in. Jeffery is sleeping in a park and initially continues blaming Jack for his having to leave his home. Jack reveals he’s Jeffrey’s brother and shows a picture of their parents and himself to back it up. He promises Jeffery he won’t have to leave and talks about their shared Jules Verne love. They walk off hugging and reciting the opening of one of Verne’s books.

-->You and I, we're bound to one another. So much so that I don't feel that I could survive without you. You nurture me. You protect me. You are my home. If I were to damage that by a meaningless dalliance, it would be like killing myself. Something that I would never do. That sounded a little better. I would never let anything compromise the life we share, Booth. I love you.

** The entire episode shot through the skulls point of view to simulate the boy watching the team until that fulfill his last [[spoiler: which they discover is showing the girl he had a crush on the love song he sung for her. The final shot through his eyes afterwards is him looking down on the team as he ascends to heaven.]]

-->I know who you are. You’re the woman I love. You’re the one who kissed me outside of a pool house when it was pouring rain, took me to shoot tommy guns on Valentine’s Day. That’s who you are. You’re the one who proposed to me with a stick of beef jerky in her hand even though you’re a vegetarian. You’re the Roxie to my Tony. You’re the Wanda to my Buck. Who else is gonna sing ‘Hot Blooded’ with me? And besides, we are way better than Mulder and Scully.

* [[When a man who is about to testify against a big military contractor ends up with his wife dead and son kidnapped in order to keep him from testifying]], Booth is part of the rescue team and is the one who gives the scared little boy the TrustPassword he and his father agreed on. Said password? Paladin, a fitting word for the deeply Catholic soldier that is Seeley Booth.

-->‘’’Brennan’’’: You and I, we're bound to one another. So much so that I don't feel that I could survive without you. You nurture me. You protect me. You are my home. If I were to damage that by a meaningless dalliance, it would be like killing myself. Something that I would never do. That sounded a little better. I would never let anything compromise the life we share, Booth. I love you

* Bones beginning to forgive Max in “Soccer Mom In the Minivan.” Especially when you know it’s the beginning of what will be a good relationship with her and his grandkids. There’s also a bit of TearJerker when there’s talk about one of the week’s characters wanting more time with her father since we know that’s just how Brennan felt come season 12.

-->"When Booth and I first met, I never believed that such a thing as love existied. I maintained that it was simply brain chemistry. But perhaps Booth is correct. Perhaps love comes first and then creates the reaction. I have no tangible proof, but I'm willing to accept Booth's premise."

* The end of “The Heiress In The Hill” when Hodgins finds his brother after the brother ran away from the home he was in. Jeffery is sleeping in a park and initially continues blaming Jack for his having to leave his home. Jack reveals he’s Jeffrey’s brother and shows a picture of their parents and himself to back it up. He promises Jeffery he won’t have to leave and talks about their shared Jules Verne love. They walk off hugging and reciting the opening of one of Verne’s books.

--> '''Booth''': ''Hear me out. Alright? You know when you talk to older couples who have been n love for thirty or forty or fifty years, it's always the guy who says I knew. I knew. Right from the beginning. I'm that guy, Bones. I'm that guy. I know.''

* The end of “The Pathos in the Pathogens”, where Booth is told he’s a lucky man and Booth says to Brennan “he doesn’t know just how lucky I am.” as he and Brennan lean their faces together and touch foreheads. D’awww!

* In season 9, there is a plaque of [[spoiler: Vincent Nigel Murray]] on a pillar in the Jeffersonian. It's visible in a blink-and-miss moment of episode 18.

* Tons in the finale like the CallBac moments of finding Jasper, Cam’s salt shaker and Parker’s drawing. Plus the homages to those they lost that are also TearJerker moments: Vincent Nigel-Murray (Cam finds his plaque in the rubble), Max (Brennan finds a pic of him and herself) Zack, not dead but still not with them (Jack finds a pic of himself and Zack from a Christmas party) and Sweets. Brennan pulls his book from her box of rescued office things and admits he was right about them and says she wishes he was there.

* Tons in the finale like the CallBacks of Jasper, Cam’s salt shaker and Parker’s drawing, as well as the homages to Vincent Nigel Murray (Cam finds his plaque in the rubble) and Booth and Brennan looking at Sweets’ book. Especially Brennan admitting he was right about them and wishing he was there.

* When Sully, said by Angelia to be "the only other guy who ever had a chance", reappears, many fans shared the characters' worry that Sully would get in the way of Booth and Bones' relationship. But did he? Nope. He graciously accepts that she chose Booth and helps her reassess her emotions about [[spoiler: her father's death]] to get her relationships back on track. Booth for his part completely trusted his wife's loyalty and Bones credits Sully with getting her ready to start a life with Booth.
