The emotional recovery can be as tough as the physical one, but there's nothing more important than hope.
“The Death in the Defense” · Season 11, Episode 11
In this episode: Seeley Booth (3), Temperance Brennan (2), Aubrey (2), Cam (1), Caroline Julian (1), Wendell Bray (1)
When I was diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma, Booth told me giving up wasn't an option. That I had to fight.
That metaphorical concept will not give Dr. Hodgins the use of his legs. In fact, he may be offended by the very idea that he can fight his nerves back into growing, given the extreme unlikeliness of recovery.
My recovery was extremely unlikely but it happened.
Boy, Hodgins would have been all over something like that.
CCam
Yeah. But I sent him home. I just....I had to.
Are you sure about that?
CCam
It was the only responsible thing to do.
Hodgins didn't have a choice about what happened to him. You should let him decide how he's going to come back from it.
CCam
I couldn't forgive myself if anything more were to happen to him.
I-I get that. But, you know, he should at least have the choice. I mean, work could actually give him hope.
I do not understand why you think Hodgins needs a misguided sense of optimism about his condition.
Coffee?
Not if we're still out of cinnamon.
We work at the FBI, Aubrey. We don't put cinnamon in our coffee.
Caroline, he brought those files home to block us from searching his place.
The fact he went to all that trouble says there's something to hide. He's a sneaky little word-I-shouldn't-say.
