As weird as Bones was last night (and it was weird!), the final scene was surprisingly uplifting. Booth said it in a way that didn't seem prudish or medieval or defensive, which is how Catholic sexual ethics often appear because of improper presentation. But when the truth about human love is presented as the beautiful way things were meant to be, something that our current society has merely perverted, then we can see how right the Church is and how far we've strayed from something so miraculous.
Booth: Here we are, all of us basically alone, separate creatures, just circling each other, all searching for the slightest hint of a real connection. Some look in the wrong places, some give up hope because in their mind they’re thinking oh there’s just nobody out there for me. But all of us keep on trying over and over again. Why? Because every once in a while, every once in a while, two people meet and there’s that spark. And, yes, Bones, he’s handsome and she’s beautiful, and maybe that’s all they see at first. But making love? Making love … that’s when two people become one.
Brennan: It’s scientifically impossible for two objects to occupy the same space.
Booth: Yeah, but what’s important is we try. And when we do it right … we get close.
Brennan: To what? Breaking the law of physics.
Booth: Yeah, Bones. A miracle.
