When Brennan informs him that it isn't coffee, but actually tea, Booth immediately discards it by throwing it in the river. He also dislikes reading news on a tablet, preferring to hold the newspaper in his hands, and had a vintage fridge in his kitchen at his old apartment.
Bones told Hannah that Booth has always wanted an old-fashioned rotary telephone, as he believes that it is what a phone should be: sturdy and heavy enough to knock someone out. He also believes that the mechanics of it make it human. Booth is a fan of classic rock and arena rock music. He also likes the band Poco. In the Season 4 episode "Mayhem on the Cross" he mentions that his father thought that Black Flag and the Dead Kennedys sounded the same.
Given the relatively underground nature of the California hardcore punk scene, of which Social Distortion, Black Flag, and the Dead Kennedys were all seminal members, it is most likely that Booth's father would have heard these bands only if Booth himself had played their records. He is also familiar with country music as his grandfather "raised [him] on Grand Ole Opry". He is a fan of the Philadelphia Flyers hockey team; pictures of the team hang on the back wall of his office, as well as he has been seen wearing a Flyers T-shirt in several episodes he also proceeded to watch a Flyers game at a funeral.
During many episodes he is seen drinking from a Pittsburgh Steelers coffee mug, suggesting he is also a fan of that football team. In his apartment, Booth has a Pittsburgh Penguins hockey jersey of Mario Lemieux, which implies he is a fan of the Penguins.
He is implied to be a Philadelphia Phillies supporter as well; in season 8, his mother brings his childhood toy — a miniature Phillie Phanatic stuffed toy — to give to Christine and in "The Blackout in the Blizzard" he acquires a row of seats from the former Veterans Stadium and recounts for Dr.
Brennan how he attended game 6 of the World Series with his father, describing it as the "best day of [his] life". A deeply religious man, he was raised and still is a practicing Catholic, having served as an altar boy during his youth; throughout the series, he is often seen wearing a St. Christopher medal, which was given to him by his grandfather before being deployed to Somalia, around his neck.
His home and office walls are adorned with various sports memorabilia including a signed picture of Bruins player Bobby Orr and the jerseys of NHL legends Mario Lemieux and Bobby Clarke. A signed picture of Bruins player Cam Neely can be seen in the background behind his desk.
Temperance Brennan is Seeley's professional partner and later, his wife. She is also one of his closest friends. What began as a consultation with Brennan, a forensic anthropologist with the Jeffersonian Institute , turned into a meaningful partnership and later on marriage and family.
While Booth and Bones maintained a professional relationship and friendship for nearly six years, there was obviously a level of deep emotional attachment evident on both their parts, as well as a hint of romantic and sexual tension within their relationship. This romantic tension between them was crucial to the plot of the series, with fleeting minor characters constantly mistaking Booth and Brennan for a romantic couple, which they consistently and vehemently denied. Booth's grandfather Hank and Bones' father Max expressed approval of their relationship early on, even before Booth and Bones openly admitted that they were more than just professional partners, and Hank and Max incredulously asked Booth if he was gay when he denied that he was romantically involved with Bones.
Max, in particular, strongly believed that Booth was the right man for his daughter despite the fact that Booth has had to arrest him a number of times for trying to take the law into his hands to protect Bones.
He has shown a tendency throughout the television series of intimidating, confronting, or competing with anyone he believes to have a sexual interest in Brennan, including his own brother, Jared. He is also extremely protective of her in general and is often defensive of her to the point of physically assaulting those who pose a threat to her safety.
He has saved Temperance's life in several episodes, digging her out by hand when she is buried alive, jumping in front of a gun pointed at her, violently threatening a gang member into calling off a hit put out on her, shooting a crazed and corrupt doctor who had just stabbed her, and shooting a crooked FBI agent-turned-hit man just as he is about to bash in the back of her skull with a gun.
In other instances where he believes Brennan's life to be endangered, Booth often to Brennan's annoyance refuses to leave her side, once offering to sleep on the couch at her apartment and flying immediately from Washington D. Throughout the show, Booth and Brennan's differences in worldviews are regularly addressed by various characters and were the source of friction early on in their partnership.
She was dismissive of his religious beliefs and organized religion in general and would take the opportunity to downplay them. Booth also has several heated arguments over various issues, especially religion. She gradually comes to respect and admire his faith when she realizes that it was his way of coping with the trauma and violence he witnesses on a regular basis at work.
In numerous episodes, she is shown trying to be supportive of Booth in spite of her social awkwardness, which Booth admits he finds endearing. When Sweets was observing them and writing a book on their relationship, Dr. Gordon Wyatt noted that Booth and Brennan are actually more similar despite appearing to be polar opposites — both experienced traumatic childhoods, are highly competent in their respective fields, and extremely guarded about their personal lives.
In " The Santa in the Slush " Brennan's father wants to spend Christmas with their family, so Brennan asks prosecution attorney Caroline Julian to "pull some strings", though Seeley cautions Temperance that Caroline will want something in return.
Caroline jokingly blackmails Brennan; amused by Booth and Brennan's longstanding insistence they do not view each other in a sexual light, she demands Brennan kiss Seeley on the lips for 5 "steamboats" seconds , using mistletoe as an excuse. He became freaked out hearing about the deal and wanted to know why, but Caroline was only feeling "Puckish".
The two kiss, and to the shock of Caroline and themselves the kiss lasts for 12 in the extended scene on the DVD, 16 , not 5, "steamboats", during which Brennan's chewing gum ends up in Booth's mouth for a humorous effect. Brennan's favorite things very well, naming her favorite flowers and planet and effectively guessing her choices for computer passwords.
In several episodes, he presents her with small, quirky personal gifts and favors, including a toy pig named Jasper, a 'Brainy Smurf' action figure, and a Christmas tree for her family. He often comforts and hugs Brennan after severe emotional distress associated with her personal life and their jobs.
Throughout the series, despite their bickering and teasing, Booth has made it clear to Brennan as a person. The emotionally unstable woman is suspected of murder because she had previously stalked the victim. She subsequently begins stalking Booth, stating she feels a special connection with him, inspired by his reassuring touch as she grieved over the victim's death.
At the end of the episode, Pam tries to shoot Brennan out of jealousy of her close relationship with Booth and sensing his attraction to Brennan. Seeley, however, steps in front of Brennan as she pulls the trigger and takes the bullet. Brennan then picks up Seeley's gun and shoots Pam in the throat without hesitation. In the next episode, it is revealed he survived but Brennan was unaware of his survival, so the two had an argument about the trust factor in their relationship. Otherwise, Booth can be seen throughout the series talking with Brennan about his top-secret missions some even in which she shouldn't even know about.
In season 4, he accompanied her on her trip to England for a conference. He hated the country and shouted it out loud while trying to navigate London's streets behind the wheel " Yanks in the U. He also came with her on her trip to China " The Passenger in the Oven ".
He was also there to comfort her when she reveals her abuse as a child from her foster parents and is willing to share some of his past in order to help her. They also bond with Sweets on this occasion, forming, in the words of doctor Gordon Wyatt Stephen Fry , something of a family. In the season four episode " The Critic in the Cabernet ", Brennan asks Seeley to become the father of her child, to which he responds with great stress.
Over the course of the episode, he begins to hallucinate Stewie Griffin to a point where he converses with the character in front of Brennan and a suspect they were questioning. If it were not for Brennan's insistence to go to a doctor, the benign tumor causing the hallucinations might not have been found or possibly found too late to save Booth. Before going into surgery, Booth donates his semen to Brennan so she can have a child.
He found out earlier in the episode his count was After the surgery is successful and Seeley awakes from a four-day coma, he began murmuring about how the dream was so real. Brennan does not understand what he is mumbling and becomes scared and upset when he asks her, 'Who are you?
In an interview with Hart Hanson, he states that Booth remembers Brennan but he is not sure if she is the Brennan from the alternate reality episode " The End in the Beginning " or if she is his partner 'Bones'. In Season five, Booth realizes his love for Brennan as he recovers from his tumor. However, he is cautioned by both Cam and Sweets to be sure of his feelings before confessing his love to Brennan.
Afraid that his feelings for her are related solely to his tumor and coma, Booth is conflicted about whether or not to tell Brennan.
Afterward, their relationship remains fraught with sexual tension. Although she shares his feelings, Brennan rejects his advance and states her uncertainty about the possible outcomes of such a relationship given their seemingly conflicting personalities. Booth agrees to respect her wishes and attempts to move on as they continue to work together. In the episode "The Boy with the Answer", Booth is confronted with the possibility that Brennan, claiming she is "tired of dealing with murders and victims and sadness and pain", might leave the Jeffersonian permanently.
Brennan departs for a year-long anthropological expedition to the Maluku Islands, while Booth agrees to spend a year in Afghanistan, training soldiers to apprehend terrorists. They say goodbye at the airport, agreeing to meet one year later. Their relationship takes a downturn after their return to DC due to Booth's relationship with journalist Hannah Burley; Brennan is apparently disappointed after learning that Hannah gets along with Parker.
When Brennan admits that she still has feelings for Booth, he turns her down and says that he loves Hannah. Hannah departs after she turns down Booth's rather half-hearted proposal. Booth and Brennan have begun to reconnect, admitting during a recent case during a blackout, while they are not ready to get into a relationship, they would like to try when it's healed.
At the start of season seven, a very pregnant Brennan and Booth are in a relationship and going back and forth between apartments. At the end of the episode, they're in bed looking at houses on the internet. In the episode "The Crack in the Code", they decide to buy a two-story house in the suburbs—which they jokingly called "The Mighty Hut"—that Booth found at a police auction and renovate it.
At the end of Season 8, Brennan finally decides to marry Booth, who is overjoyed. Booth calls off the wedding, but does not explain the real reason to Brennan. For the first several episodes of season 9, despite their efforts to mask the frustration and resentment, there was much tension between the two of them and between Booth and the other squints, who accused Booth of being unfaithful and getting "cold feet" at the last minute. In the Season 9 premiere, Booth confided in his friend Aldo Clemens, a former Army chaplain turned bartender, about Pelant's threat against him and he was having trouble mending his relationship with Brennan.
At the end of the episode, Brennan decides to stay with Booth, much to his relief, and tell him that she is willing to trust him.
However, their plans are ruined by a cold case and a fire in the church in which they were to be married. With Angela's help, they hold a last-minute simple garden ceremony outside the Jeffersonian. Aldo presided over the ceremony in the presence of Booth's mother Marianne, grandfather Hank and son Parker, Bones' father Max, and their close friends from the Jeffersonian.
After that, they honeymoon in Argentina and everything's normal until government conspiracies with the ghost killer arise. In the episode "The Recluse in the Recliner" Booth is being targeted, which ends up with assassins coming to their home and almost killing Booth.
He almost died but Brennan saved him. At the end of the episode Booth is seen in the hospital but the FBI won't let Brennan see him because they put Booth under arrest. Booth is then thrown into jail and Brennan is left alone with Christine. Despite such issues as Booth being framed and sent to prison, the only serious flaw in their relationship was when Booth suffered a temporary relapse to his old gambling addiction, which he overcame after the two temporarily retired from their jobs before the birth of their second child.
Their infant son Hank Jr. In End in the End Brennan is left with an existential crisis, after a head injury temporarily impairs her ability to remember how to do her job, feeling that without her intelligence, she will lose everything that makes her who she is and uncertain of what she will be without that, but Booth reassures her that she is the woman he loves and his partner no matter what. By the following morning, Brennan reveals that her agnosia is almost completely healed, and she would be able to get back to work by the time that the Jeffersonian is restored in six weeks.
Camille Saroyan is Booth's old friend and ex-girlfriend. Booth is shown to have known Cam for some length of time she mentions she has known Booth and his 'brother Jared for 15 years in the fourth season , with both of them possessing extensive familiarity with the other's family members.
Booth rekindled an old relationship with Cam when she joined the Jeffersonian team. However, Seeley ended the relationship for the second time after an intense case nearly cost Camille her life, with Seeley asserting on-the-job romantic relationships endanger the team in high-pressure situations. Despite the breakup, Camille and Seeley have remained close friends, working together on cases and giving each other advice on numerous occasions.
Rebecca Stinson is Booth's ex-girlfriend and the mother of his son, Parker. When Seeley discovered Rebecca was pregnant, he asked her to marry him but she refused. It is later revealed she refused the proposal because she did not want to be "one of those women" and did not want to be judged. She later tells Temperance she now wishes she had not missed her and Seeley's "one true moment" and wonders if he feels the same way, which is shown throughout the series they are just friends.
While in Afghanistan, Booth met a journalist called Hannah after saving her from a situation with armed men. Since Booth had been rejected by Brennan in Season 5, the two form a bond and start a relationship. Booth tells Brennan that their relationship is as "serious as a heart attack" and that he is in love with her. Hannah transfers to D. Although Bones has lingering feelings for Booth, she tries to be happy for her partner and maintains her friendship with Hannah.
However from Season 6 Episode 11 The Bullet in the Brain , Booth showed signs that he wasn't as in love with Hannah as he thought he was and he still holds his feelings for Brennan. In "The Daredevil in the Mold", Booth, scared of being alone for the rest of his life and spurred on by a night of drinking with Sweets, proposes to Hannah, who gently turns him down, telling him that she is not the marrying kind.
Now knowing that their relationship was going nowhere and has no future, Booth breaks up with her and after trying to persuade him to change his mind unsuccessfully , she reluctantly accepts the break-up and moves out of his apartment.
Hannah's rejection demonstrated Booth's flaw in finding relationships with women who want to maintain their independence but the proposal showed how desperate Booth was to try and forget his strong feelings for Brennan and did it for that reason, not because he loved Hannah. In all that said, Hannah was just a rebound. Booth's appointment to the Jeffersonian was met with mixed reactions from Brennan team members.
In the first few episodes, it was apparent that Booth did not fit in with the "squints" and was immediately put off by the scientific jargon they use when discussing a case. He gradually develops a close working relationship and becomes friends with them outside of work.
This was evidenced in the Season 2 episode " Judas on a Pole ", when Booth was "suspended without pay" by the Deputy Director for pursuing a thirty-year-old cover-up in order to solve the more recent murder of a fellow FBI agent, Bones and the rest of the team, realizing that it meant that Booth can no longer work with them, all-volunteer to continue the investigation so that Booth will be reinstated.
At the end of the episode, Booth was reinstated and Bones invites him to join the rest of the team in celebrating Zack Addy's appointment at the Jeffersonian, telling him that "we are, all of us, your squints". The rest of the team have since accepted Booth, as shown in several episodes where Booth's life was threatened and the "squints" all go the extra mile to ensure his safety.
Likewise he vows to protect them at all costs when they were threatened by a rogue sniper Jacob Broadsky in Season 6 and serial killer Christopher Pelant in Season 8 or Mark Kovac in season Whenever one of them encounters a traumatic event he shows concern and tries to help them deal with the trauma, such as when a co-worker and intern Vincent Nigel-Murray was killed in their own lab or when the team finds out Zack was Gormogon apprentice.
Early in Season 1, when Booth has appointed the FBI liaison to the Jeffersonian, Jack was particularly hostile to him due to his disdain for the government and bureaucracy in general.
Booth's patriotism, a position as a federal agent and military background, and Hodgins' argumentative nature further added to the friction.
Hodgins later expressing genuine regret when a current investigation exposed a military cover-up as he recognized what their discoveries meant for Booth. While they still maintain their respective opposing views, they are on friendly terms and Booth often calls him "bug boy". Hodgins also asked for Booth's advice when he was planning to propose to Angela. At the end of the second season, he agrees to be Hodgin's best man in his wedding albeit as the second choice after Zack Addy turned the position down.
Hodgins also asks for Booth's advice about proposing to Angela. Booth has the tendency to cut Hodgins off in the middle of a conversation whenever the latter starts using scientific jargon, although Hodgins generally tolerates it. In season 4, when Booth's FBI colleague Payton Perotta takes over an investigation in which Booth is a suspect, Hodgins and Wendell immediately declare to Agent Perotta that they are "Booth's people" rather than her's.
Although grateful for the gesture, Hodgins refuses and decides to take a loan instead. In several cases, Booth, despite his disdain for most of Hodgins' conspiracy theories, uses it to his advantage for a case; especially while investigating Gormogon murders; in the episode " Girl in Suite " he asks Hodgins to call the FAA with his "craziest" conspiracy theory in order to stall a plane so the FBI can get to it in time to do a search.
At the end of the episode when government agents come to take Hodgins away for questioning in relation to the hoax call, Booth declines to intervene telling Dr. Brennan that being taken away by "Men in Black" would be his dream come true. In Seasons 9 and 10, his conspiracy theorist side comes to the fore and his theories often aid Booth and the team in finding clues in the major story arc in which the discovery of "The Ghost Killer" and her connections lead the team to uncover a widespread and deeply rooted conspiracy going on in the FBI.
Of the "squints", Booth gets along best with Angela due to her ability to relate to him in layman's terms and knowledge of pop culture. Angela was initially attracted to Booth. When she realizes that Booth and Bones were "meant for each other", she repeatedly attempts to match-make them. She often gave both of them tips on how to get along with and appease the other. In Season 9 Booth and Angela had a falling out due to Booth having to reject Brennan's marriage proposal.
They have since repaired their relationship and remain good friends. He is good friends with Wendell , one of Brennan's favorite interns, and they play ice hockey together on the same amateur team. In Season 9, Booth is visibly distraught when Brennan tells him that she suspects Wendell has Ewing's sarcoma.
When Cam was forced to fire Wendell for using medical marijuana due to Jeffersonian rules, Booth, with Bones' and Caroline's help, find a loophole, and Wendell is re-employed as an independent consultant reviewing case files and evidence reports, much to Cam's relief and delight. Zack admires Booth as a man of experience and repeatedly asks him for advice on various issues, including sexual relationships. Booth convinces him that ignoring one another is a form of male bonding in order to deter Zack from continuously asking him any more awkward questions and so that he could avoid hurting his feelings.
After failing to woo a colleague, " Naomi from Paleontology ", whom he was attracted to, Zack approached Booth for "advice" in the episode A Boy in a Tree, much to Booth's annoyance and did so ever since.
Booth has threatened to shoot Zack and Hodgins on several occasions out of exasperation. In the Season 2 finale, Zack receives a letter from the White House requesting his services in Iraq and he asks Booth if "it hurts when you get shot", as Booth was the only one of the group who had any first-hand combat experience in a war zone. When Booth asks him why, Zack shows him the letter, explaining that he chose to ask Booth as the latter "[knows] more about duty and honor than anyone else I know".
Before Zack goes to Iraq, Booth gives him a harmonica as a parting gift. Following the climax of the events at the end of Season 3, Booth regrets that he had never talked much to Zack, feeling that if he had he would have caught onto Zack's affiliation with Gormogon sooner and could, perhaps, have done something about it.
In Season 12, when Zack Addy was accused of being the Puppeteer, Booth thought that he was the killer, but after seeing him have an emotional breakdown in the interrogation room, he started doubting whether Zack was capable of killing anyone. He was the one who saved Zack from getting killed by the real Puppeteer, Dr. Mihir Roshan , by shooting him in the back. The next day, when Zack recants his confession to the murder of Ray Porter , Booth immediately gives Zack his support and offers to help him get released.
Booth manages to move up the date of Zack's trial to the following two months and Brennan, Gordon Wyatt , Angela, and Hodgins manage to find the remains of the Apprentice and exonerate Zack's life sentence and murder charge, though he will have to spend another thirteen months at the institution to serve out the rest of his ten-year sentence for aiding a known killer.
Although their relationship has improved somewhat, Booth still feels uncomfortable around Zack, even saying no to a hug. When Sweets first joined the team, Booth treated him in a condescending manner, due to his youth and boyish looks. Booth was one of the few who acknowledged the importance of psychological insight into an investigation and would bring Sweets along to investigations, albeit grudgingly — he disliked Sweets' habit of repeatedly questioning him when he was in a Mighty hut 2.
Whenever Sweets made him feel uncomfortable in that manner, he would interrupt and cut him off with a sarcastic comment or directly tell him to be quiet. Booth became less sarcastic and more understanding with Sweets when he learns about the latter's own abusive childhood and subsequent yearning for a family after the death of his adoptive parents as he himself was abused as a child.
Despite his tendency to pull rank on Sweets by making him do undesirable tasks such as paperwork or frequently light-heartedly mock him, he cares deeply for the younger agent and the two have an underlying mutual respect. Since then Sweets has been a close friend to Booth and his family outside of work. He also consults Sweets on a number of issues, including his feelings for Bones.
When Booth was suspended from the field, he consulted with Dr. Gordon Wyatt instead of Sweets, who is the department's designated psychologist, in order to avoid having to put Sweets in a difficult position of having to choose between their friendship and his professional responsibility. In Season 8 he invites Sweets to stay at his and Bones' home while Sweets deals with his second break-up with Daisy; Sweets helped with the chores and would babysit Christine.
In The Friend in Need , Booth admits that on a rape and murder case Sweets solved, he'd already figured it all out but let Sweets solve it in the end as he was emotionally involved. Mighty hut 2. In the Season 10 premiere Sweets and Daisy are back together and ask Booth to be the godfather of their unborn son.
Sweets were even going to name his son Seeley, Booth's first name which was carried out, Daisy giving him the name Seeley Lance.
When Sweets is killed later in the episode, leaving Booth is visibly distraught. Booth was the most saddened by Sweet's death, willing to do anything to avenge him and he claims that the weight of the guilt he felt is what drove him to gamble again. Booth was touched by being given Sweets' final version of his book in The Psychic in the Soup , which he had changed into a love story to act as a tribute to their relationship rather than a psychological study on Booth's and Brennan's partnership, on what would have been Sweets's 30th birthday.
In the season 10 premiere Aubrey is an agent assigned to secretly keep tabs on Booth following his release from prison.
