I think that we got hints that Hodges had a crush on Angela before. It's the escalation that's sudden and undefinable.
The sudden onset had me rolling my eyes, but now that they've established it, I'm enjoying it. I think it has potential to contrast nicely with Booth/Brennan's non-involvement.
I actually think "The Witch" is my second-favorite episode of Season 1, after "Prophecy Girl". I think "The Pack" would probably be third.
Yeah, I guess. I love the episode. It's just that Amy's mom never pinged me as a MotW the way, say, even Marcie did. I'm not sure why. But it is a stand-alone (future Amy issues, aside), so I guess in that respect, it is a MotW. Maybe "Teacher's Pet" pings me as sooooo MotW because that's about all the episode has going on (apart from the first instance of Xander being a demon magnet).
