As soon as he started ring shopping I was having questions, though. This was the woman who moved in with just one duffel bag, right? She's a nomad, she doesn't like ties, she doesn't want to settle down in one place. As far as we know they've never discussed anything as permanent as marriage. They've been happy, but it hasn't been going on for very long. The only reason Booth went for the ring in the first place was because he was goaded into it by Sweets. If he had been willing to go on with the current arrangement she would have stayed; it was Booth who made it an all or nothing proposition.
Okay, um, I'm lost. Uh, I'm angry, and I'm armed, so if you two have something that you need to work out --

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I kind of wasn't paying close enough attention to what Booth said to Brennan in the bar, until I realized it must have been important.
What did he say?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
He essentially said they could be just partners with nothing personal or she could ask to be re-assigned to another agent.

Ah, so the relationship angle is dead for now. Got it.

Well, except for friendship, which I think is HIGHLY personal, but just friendship.

He didn't really say friendship, did he? Maybe I missed it, but we can have a drink after work to celebrate a case ending does not equal friendship to me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yeah, he was pretty specific about smalltalk.

Well, he was riding high on self-pity at that point. I can see them moving back to friendship pretty quickly.

I was kind of surprised he didn't smack her down a lot harder. I was not at all certain that when she asked "what happens now?" she didn't basically mean "so are we back on then?" From his reaction I'm pretty sure he went there too. So I'd say he was striking out for more reasons than just that.
(Not that I disagree that they'll be back to normal in .25 episodes.)
Promo: Speaking of. Way to undercut the tension. "Will their hormones get the better of them?" I'm sure whatever happens it won't be that, but still not the note I'd end that scene on.

I think that he thought that she meant "so does that mean we can get together now?" Which she may have meant, in part.
I just got around to watching this week's CM, and I am really disliking the focus on the unsubs. I don't watch to see their creepy shit, I watch to see smart/hot/interesting FBI agents solve crimes.
