Bones: The Baby in the Bough (2008)
Bones is a Daddy Mommy?
This is a really good episode that allows Brennan to show her softer side. While not wanting kids is the right choice for a lot of people, this episode does a good job at showing that it's not that Brennan doesn't like or want kids, but she just doesn't understand them, at least not until the adorableness that is Andy! Booth and Brennan have a great partnership and watching them as pseudo-parents is adorable! My favorite part is when she calls him the "Baby Daddy" and then you can hear him mumble that she's the "Daddy Mommy" which makes no sense, only making the scene funnier! I also relate a lot to Angela when she says that she has a thing for chaos. I gave it 9/10 instead of 10/10 because I was very confused by the actual facts of the case for the first two or three times I watched the episode, but other than that, it's a great episode!

Thanks for the gum
The kiss alone gives it a 10/10. If they had included the full, unedited kiss, it's 100/10, but whatever, I'll settle for pausing the episode and going into YouTube to find the deleted scene. It's also a cute episode between Max and Brennan. Everything with Parker is just adorable, especially when he goes up to a random cop just because he wants to see his dad. Like father, like son I guess? The actual murder is a little confusing, like I'm still not even sure that Jerry Russo did it, but whatever, the kiss makes the entire episode worth it. I do think that it was kind of wrong of Caroline, but it's okay simply because she knew that they wanted to, they just didn't have an excuse.
Bones: The Verdict in the Story (2008)
That's a lot of heart, Bones
While it's really kind of weird that a show about solving murders makes you want to root for the murderer to get off, I love this episode. Max is a good example of a 3-dimensional character, who in despite of his flaws, is someone you want to root for. I also love this episode for showing Brennan as more than the rational scientist, demonstrating that she has a heart, something which people often question, including herself *cough* 5x16 *cough*. Also, Booth talking to her about the case even though he shouldn't is a great moment of proving his love for her, because he wouldn't put his job at risk for anyone else.
Bones: Mummy in the Maze (2007)
The One Where Clark Kent and Wonder Woman Go on a Really Bad Date
Not only is the one of my favorite episodes of the show, I think that this is one of the best Halloween episodes in TV, and it's sad it's underrated. I love this episode, especially with Brennan dresses up as WW, who is definitely the best superhero, which makes sense for our heroine to wear. Booth also looks really hot with glasses! I also love how they're able to rescue the girl, since most episodes do not have as happy if an ending. It's sad that Booth had to add to his kill number, but at least he saved Brennan and the girl. Also, Rider Strong was really good in this episode as a creep after years of seeing him as a good guy in BMW!
Bones: The Secret in the Soil (2007)
Our Baby Duck
While I don't really like the plot of this episode, it gets 8/10 simply for introducing us to Sweets, who is kind of annoying in this episode, but becomes one of the best characters by far. I also really like when he does the hand motions to demonstrate the BnB partnership and they think he's nuts (which is a recurring theme for the rest of their relationship with Sweets). The plot with the half sisters is really sad, but just the existence of Sweets makes this episode happier.
Bones: The Wannabe in the Weeds (2008)
My favorite episode
I know that I might be in the minority for saying this, but there is something about this episode that warms my heart. I know that's probably weird with how devastatingly sad the ending is, but I love this episode. The music that they chose in the beginning was amazing, especially with the choice of Nickelback's Far Away, which fits in well with the emotional rollercoaster that BnB have only just begun. I'm also just a huge fan of karaoke, so that might influence my love. I also loved the meta use of an American idol contestant as the victim before Booth mentions the show later. "Because of me?" hilarious Brennan line. I also adore how both Brennan and Zack can sing despite having personalities that many people would not assume lives Music. It just shows that music is for everyone and even the hyper-rational can be creatively gifted. I also love the stark contrast of the happiness of Booth as he watches the girl he loves (even if he doesn't realize it yet) as she sings with what happens 30 seconds later.
