Not really. If you didn't know about Lie to Me, I don't think you would have picked up on it. Now, if they do a crossover . . .
If you want me to leave, you can put your hands on my hot, tight little body and make me.

I never watch Lie To Me, so it never occurred to me. And I don't blame Sweets for being peeved. It wasn't long ago that he had his childhood history being dragged out, and now his professional competence is being questioned.
For a change, this wasn't an actual murder, more manslaughter, and if Beaver hand't pulled out the nail he might have survived. I like the fact that the perpertrator doesn't always turn out to be that bad. Heck, this could be called self-defense, since Beaver was in the middle of assaulting her.

Yes, she might even have gotten probation, but the whole "hiding the body and lying about it" thing might be a problem.

It wasn't long ago that he had his childhood history being dragged out, and now his professional competence is being questioned.
Plus the whole "Your girlfriend's engaged to be married to someone else," fiasco.
To paraphrase Bull Durham, "He's been dealing with a lot of shit."

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I like him standing up to her. He'll use his insight to help them solve the case but not satisfy her curiosity after she's been so dismissive - good for him.

A propos of what's a procedural, [link] on Fresh Air yesterday, Terry Gross commented that In Treatment is kind of a procedural mystery where the mystery is how the people are going to work out their personal issues and evolve. Or, you know, she said it better but that was the gist of it.

Just watched Bones -- DH cheered when Sweets stood up to her. And I gave a very satisfied nod. I hang out with smart people -- ( married one) and the smartest people know there are things they don't know. Bones has learned a lot , but she does tend to forget that.
But -- what I didn't like was Bones being shocke dby the frat boy behavior ( dropping the togas etc ) becasue her normal way of dealing is to compare them to a tribe

well, there's no tribe really like frat boys. They are unique unto themselves. and now Brennan has a new tribe to study.

Is no one else impressed by Hodgins pointing at two of the sheets and saying, "This guy is having a sexual relationship with this guy"? It's a nice little sidenote.
