[tv highlights] Is this the week TV writers are just fucking with us?
I only ask because the relationship developments in the shows I've been watching this week have all left me gaping at the screen, or trying valiantly not to cry. Let's recap, shall we?



Brennan: He offered himself to her but she never gave him a chance! That was her regret. I've got the signal, Booth. I don't want to have any regrets.
Booth: You know... I'm with someone. Bones. Hannah, she's not a consolation prize. I love her.
Brennan: [crying]
Booth: The last thing I want to do is hurt you, but those are the facts.
Brennan: I understand. I missed my chance. My whole world turned upside down. I can adjust.
Brennan finally realizes she loves Booth and would regret never being with him; confesses her feelings. Booth of course loves her, but he also loves his reporter girlfriend (who is, admittedly, awesome) and he can't just end his relationship because Brennan caught on a year too late.





Olivia: You know what Barret said? He said that he looked into her eyes and he knew it wasn't her.
Peter: Olivia.
Olivia: I understand the facts. I know that she had reams of information about me, about my life, about the people who were closest to me. And I understand that if she slipped up she would have a completely reasonable explanation for it. And I guess to have expected you to have seen past that is perhaps asking a little bit too much. But when I was over there I thought about you when you were just a figment of my imagination. I held on to you, and it wasn't reasonable, and it wasn't logical, but I did it. So ....why didn't you? She wasn't me. How could you not see that? Now she's everywhere. She's been in my house, my job, my bed. And I don't want to wear my clothes any more! And I don't wanna live in my apartment, and I don't want to be with you! She's taken everything.
Peter, being an adult and remarkable for a tv show does the appropriate thing and tells Olivia that he slept with and was dating Fauxlivia. She seems to take it moderately well until she has to go back to her apartment, and finds his MIT shirt in her laundry, and sees her clothes, and her sheets and furniture; her mail opened and read. And we get it. If Olivia knew, why didn't Peter? Maybe he didn't want to know, or maybe it's the cortexifan that allowed Olivia to see through things even on the other side. But none of that matters, because our hearts are breaking, and it's going to take ages before anything is okay between Olivia and Peter again.





Danny: Ahh, mother in laws!
Steve: I take it you didn't have a good relationship with yours.
Danny: No, not really. She lives in Manchester. She came to visit once. It was the longest and worst 48 hours of my life
Steve: ---Your mother in law came all the way from England and stayed for two days?
Danny: No no no, I checked her into the Holiday Inn at the end of two days. It was me or her, babe.
JSSJLHKJH;DSHVJSDH!!! ARE YOU KIDDING US. This is two episodes in a row that Danny has called Steve "babe" and we are rolling around in it like a dog in fresh scat. This is delightful! Please keep up this amazing relationship, Hawaii Five-0 writers. We are in love with Danny and Steve being in love. (Especially if Steve is making heart eyes and Danny is not noticing but somehow still facilitating his crush.)
Please also note Steve holds the door open for Danny, because he's a gentleman and this is the longest date in history.
Mmmm, television.
