A/N: Sorry I am just getting this up now. I was out of town for a week and just saw the episode on Monday night, and didn't really have time to write until tonight. Anyway, I really liked this episode. It definitely pulled on my heartstrings. Let me know what you think! Enjoy.
Child Services lady:
Dr. Brennan does not make a good first impression. If it hadn't been for the fact that Samantha was covered in blood and a possible murder suspect I would have hauled her out of there before Dr. Brennan could have laid a finger on her. Turns out it was a good thing that I didn't. Over the course of the few days that we spent gathering evidence and collaborating on this case, I was able to get a glimpse of the person who hides behind Dr. Brennan's shell.
She understands not being able to trust anyone, she understands abuse. She may not be able to, or allow herself to always show the emotions, but they are there. I only ever saw them when she was talking directly to Samantha. She is very selective in who she allows to see the real her. I was only allowed to see because I had to act as translator, otherwise I highly doubt I would have been privy to seeing that side of her.
What amazed me more than her earning Samantha's trust was the amount of extra time she took to find Samantha's real family. Her and her partner worked tirelessly the entire case to bring Samantha justice, to bring her back her real family. I saw the looks on their faces when Samantha ran into her parents' arms. They were truly happy for her.
