Lance Sweets was brought into the series early in the third season in The Secret in the Soil as a psychologist to Seeley Booth and Temperance Brennan. The FBI forced them to seek therapy because Booth had arrested Brennan's father. They were even considering severing the partnership but instead ordered the two to see Sweets for partners'/couple's therapy on a regular basis. Through Fox online special features, it is implied that Booth and Brennan continued to see Dr. Wyatt through "Death in the Saddle" before seeing Sweets solely.[1]
Sweets was also depicted as a skilled piano player on several occasions, even though the first time his musical skills were discussed (on the phone with Daisy), he didn't mention anything about the piano, only saying that he played "a little bass". This is a nod to Daley playing piano in real life. Sweets was also a former master at chess, as shown in Season Nine (The Master in the Slop).
Like Booth and Brennan, Sweets was abused as a child by a few of his foster parents before finally being adopted by a loving but much older couple.
Sweets' presence provided a bit of comic relief, as he was often the target of insults from both his clients, though they did show sympathy for him when he broke up with his girlfriend (and on other occasions). His youth (according to Angela, Sweets was often required to show his ID at bars, and he stated that he was 22 in his first appearance) and inexperience with police work also proved to be a challenge for him in the series, since many didn't take him seriously (especially Booth). However, his psychological analyses of Booth and Brennan were typically quite accurate.
Booth was very suspicious of his ability to predict behavior using psychoanalysis, even calling it his "Jedi mind powers." Ironically stated in many episodes, Sweets is a Star Wars fan.
Booth grew to accept Sweets' ability and expertise throughout the show and began to ask for his advice during interrogations. Brennan was also skeptical, calling psychology a soft science, believing it had no credence, and comparing it to "telling stories at a campfire." Despite her personal views of psychology, both she and Booth eventually respected his ability on some level when it came to finding killers. In "The Knight on the Grid," it was revealed that Booth called upon Sweets, along with the involvement of the local bishop and the parole officer, to help Russ Brennan receive a lighter sentence.
Brennan: "I believe you are just guessing." Booth: "Oops." Sweets: "Okay, fine. (Walks away) I'm a magic 8-ball." — [src]Despite his aptitude for behavioral analysis, he believed for a time everyone on the team hated him and found him annoying. However, all of them have gone to him for advice at least once, a fact he had to be reminded of by Cam in the episode "The Cinderella in the Cardboard". Sweets seemed annoyed by the fact that they always saw him for counseling whenever they wished instead of making an appointment, basically treating him as their personal on-call therapist. In "The Skull in the Sculpture" an annoyed Sweets demands of Cam, "Why do you people never make an appointment?!" Brennan stated she "likes Sweets" and could not bring herself to lie to him. Also, while able to quickly recognize when someone is lying (Booth has described him as a "portable polygraph"), he himself did not appear to be very good at lying; when he lied about his personal life, both Booth and Brennan were able to tell easily.
In the Season 4 episode, "Double Trouble In The Panhandle," it was revealed Dr. Sweets was adopted, and his birth mother was a psychic working in a circus in South Florida.
In the episode "Mayhem on a Cross", it was also revealed that Sweets had whip scars on his back from being abused as a young child before he was adopted at the age of six by a loving but much older couple. Dr. Gordon Wyatt stated that his experience in the foster system and with an abusive foster father would explain his near obsession with Booth's past with his abusive father and Brennan's abandonment by her parents and her brother and the time she spent in the foster system. This is contrary to Booth's first impression of Sweets, conjecturing that, based on his youth, the worst thing that ever happened to him was that he "lost at Mortal Kombat." Sweets' loving but elderly adoptive parents, the Finleys, died a few weeks before he began working with Booth and Brennan, but this left him with the belief that broken people can be saved by people with good hearts, which is why he became a psychologist. Consequently, Dr. Wyatt proclaimed he has a calling and a good heart, making him a brilliant psychologist. However, the Finleys' deaths left him to figure out on his own how to transition from adolescence to adulthood.
He became close to Booth and Brennan, and, after a moment in the Mayhem on a Cross where they shared something of their abusive pasts, they became almost like surrogate parents to him but continued to hide their emotionally close connection with banter. He later told a rape victim in "The Friend in Need" that his foster father had abused him and he blamed himself and tried to make himself better as a result. Eventually someone noticed what was happening and helped him get out of the situation by having his foster father arrested and get the help he needed to let him know that it wasn't his fault.
"Mayhem on a Cross" also brought to light that Sweets had been a fan of death metal as a teenager and continued to listen to it after a bad day, an additional hint his past might be more complicated than his chipper office persona suggested.
In "The Critic in the Cabernet" when Booth was in the hospital, he was visibly upset about Booth's predicament. This showed he wasn't always the emotionally in-control person he appeared to be most of the time. Throughout Season 4, Booth and Sweets' relationship developed into something resembling that of a father (Booth) and son.
In the Season 4 finale "The End in the Beginning", he was presented as the lead singer and keyboardist of a band called Gormogon, a reference to a character in a previous story arc. He stated that he "is not Gormogon" and it was simply a name. This is ironic because many fans of the show thought Sweets was Gormogon for a long time. Even in this alternate world, Booth is still a surrogate father, and Sweets is still in a relationship with Daisy. He is also protective of Brennan, by burning evidence he thought would implicate her.
During the 7-month break between seasons 5 and 6, Sweets went on a sabbatical and took a job as a lounge pianist, even growing a beard in the process. He, like the rest of the team, was later called back to Washington, D.C, at Caroline's request to help Cam who was in trouble.
In the episode "The Shallow in the Deep", while on the party boat for "cougars" (women who like younger men), several of the women on board found Sweets attractive.
In the episode "The Prince in the Plastic," Sweets gained a permit to carry a firearm. Booth conducted Sweets's qualification test himself to determine if Sweets was going to be a help or hindrance in the field, a test Sweets aced because from that episode onwards, Sweet is seen carrying a gun although it is not sure what his weapon is. For his examination, he used a Smith & Wesson M&P, most likely a .40S&W version. However, it is equally possible that his sidearm is either a Glock 22 or 23, as they are the official FBI-issued handguns.
Sweets: "How did I do?" Booth: "Eh, you did good-ish." Sweets: "Sweets: Good-ish how?" Booth: "Booth: Good enough to have my back" — {{{7}}}For most of Season 8, from "The Method in the Madness" to "The Doom in the Gloom", Sweets lived with Booth and Brennan, staying in Parker's room with its Wolverine sheets. He was referred to as "Uncle Sweets" when the parents addressed Christine, and Bones mentioned that, when he finally and truly is moving out, she will miss his contribution to their daughter's care. One of Lance's new roommates thinks that "Your dad is hot.", speaking of Booth, who was too shocked at being mistaken for Sweets' father to correct the misunderstanding.
In "The Friend in Need", a young woman confessed to Sweets that she was raped at a party and that her mother had covered it up. Sweets reported the rape despite her not wanting him to. Afterwards he explained how she needed help, the way he did when his foster father had beaten him. Sweets promised her that he would solve the rape and he did. Examination of pictures from the party showed the murder victim didn't rape her but instead tried to protect her. There was a photo of her being drugged by another person at the party. After forensic evidence pointed to the victim being crushed in a suitcase, the team was able to solve the murder, as one of the suspects worked at a moving company. During the interrogation, Sweets noticed the man was wearing a green-eyed pendant and recalled that the only thing the girl could remember was a green eye. Sweets informed Booth of the discovery and they tricked the man into confessing to both the rape and murder by claiming that Booth couldn't charge him for either due to Sweets' interference. Booth charged the man for murder and revealed that while he couldn't charge him for rape, it was only because it fell into another jurisdiction which he would be contacting. Afterwards, Sweets informed the girl and her mother that they had caught the rapist and helped the mother finally support her daughter and got her the help she needed. Booth later admitted to Bones that he'd already figured it all out but let Sweets solve the case in the end.
In Season 9, Sweets slowly broke away from the group and tried to use his psychology to help others for a while after Pelant used his psychological reports on the other team members against them. His psychological skills were used to help people in the episode "El Carnicero en el Coche". But Sweets came back and, in Season 9, even had a one-night stand with intern Jessica Warren.In the final moments of "The Conspiracy in the Corpse", Booth and Bones arrived at a parking garage after Booth received a distress call. They found Dr. Sweets lying on the ground, bloodied and bruised. Also on the scene was junior agent James Aubrey, who had arrived moments after the incident, having heard the shots Sweets fired at his assailant. After a brief discussion between Booth, Bones, and a fading Sweets, he finally succumbed to his massive internal injuries and died as an ambulance was heard arriving in the background. His last words were "The world is a lot better than you think it is. It's..." (To Brennan and Booth)
In the subsequent episode, "The Lance to the Heart", his killer was revealed to be a Navy SEAL named Kenneth Emory, who acted on the orders of Glen Durant. Durant then fatally stabbed Emory, who had been wounded by Sweets, to cover up his involvement in the murder.Shortly after his death in The Psychic in the Soup, psychic Avalon Harmonia claimed to Booth and Brennan to have been contacted by Sweets who wanted them to find something. Though the two were dubious, the clues Avalon claimed Sweets had given her ultimately led her to the finished copy of the book Sweets had written about them, which he had intended to be a birthday present. Christine realized that Sweets' book was the one that her imaginary friend had wanted them to read with Avalon implying that the friend was not so imaginary.
He is mentioned in The Movie in the Making/ Booth and Brennan still seemed to miss him and hold him dearly.
In The Hope in the Horror, it was revealed that Sweets visited Zack Addy every week before his death. When Zack found out Sweets was murdered, he was so distraught and devastated that he injured his head so badly it left a long lobotomy-like scar across his forehead. He became withdrawn ever since. In the end, Zack told Booth and Brennan that he never killed Ray Porter since a near-death encounter with The Puppeteer proved Sweets' theory that Zack was not a killer at heart. Brennan agreed to re-examine the evidence and Booth agreed to help Zack get released from the sanitarium, beginning a story arc all throughout Season 12 that, all the while, completed a part of Sweets' unfinished business.
In The Steal in the Wheels, Booth brought in Doctor Gordon Wyatt to go through Sweets' notes on his sessions with Zack in hopes of finding something that could exonerate Zack for the murder of Ray Porter. It ultimately proved to be a dead end however. Despite this, they were eventually able to locate the body of The Apprentice which provided the evidence they needed to exonerate Zack of murder in The Day in the Life.
In The End in the End, Sweets' book was one of the things that survived Jeannine and Mark Kovac's bombing of the Jeffersonian. Booth and Brennan reflected on their old friend and talked about how he was right about them and how they wished he was there with them.Writing[]
It was initially learned Sweets was writing a paper on Booth and Brennan's relationship because he thought it wasn't supposed to work and yet it did, which was why he asked them if he could continue his analysis of them. While they constantly mocked him and, sometimes joined together to turn against him, Booth and Brennan really understand that Sweets does like them and that was why he wanted to work with them after their therapy ended - in exchange, he would occasionally provide psychological profiles of the killers they encountered. He vehemently denied emotional attachment to them, but they are all aware of the emotional connection, though they would hide it with banter.
In the episode "Mayhem on the Cross", Dr. Sweets receives a review by Dr. Gordon Wyatt of his book on the relationship between Booth and Dr. Brennan. Dr. Wyatt explains he feels Sweets has misinterpreted the relationship between Booth and Brennan, mostly by looking on a somewhat superficial level. The primary focus of the work is how Booth and Brennan are opposites, yet their sexual attraction is limited due to their primary responsibility to their careers. Dr. Wyatt explains he feels Booth and Brennan are much more similar than Sweets understands, and there is an underlying sexual attraction only one of the two sees. He also tells Brennan and Booth Sweets is using his book as a way of finding his place in the world, and he has created his emotional connection with them as a way of finding a family, something Brennan compares to "imprinting" like a baby duck, though they eventually accept it. At the end of Mayhem on a Cross after Booth and Brennan invited him over for dinner at Dr. Wyatt's apartment, it is seen that Sweets has changed the title of his work to "Bones - The Heart of the Matter," which obviously alludes to the physical bones Brennan works with, and the person Bones (Dr. Brennan) herself.
After reading Sweets' manuscript on the book he was writing about their partnership in The Parts in the Sum of the Whole, Booth and Brennan told him about their first case together before Pilot. Sweets believed that Booth and Brennan are in love and that the energies of their connection are responsible for the effort they put into murder investigations, but after they told him about how they kissed for the first time in the middle of that investigation, he bluntly stated that "My [his] book is crap." and he possibly abandoned the idea of publishing it afterwards.
In The Psychic in the Soup, on the first birthday after his death, his tradition of giving gifts to his friends is continued. The final completed version of his book, rewritten to focus on the romance between Booth and Brennan rather than to be a psychological study, is presented to them after the thumb drive containing the file is found in his car right before Daisy sells it. Angela and Avalon presented it to Booth and Brennan with its final title: "Parts of the Whole".
Brennan recovered a copy of Sweets' book from the wreckage of the Jeffersonian after it was blown up by Jeannine Kovac and Mark Kovac. It implies that Booth and Brennan were able to publish Sweets' book for him after he died.
"Dedicated to Temperance Brennan and Seeley Booth, the people who taught me that understanding, compassion and love are not just notions in a book. My life means more because I know you."Relationships[]
Platonic Relationships[]
Booth[]
Booth and Sweets had a brotherly relationship, as shown in El Carnicero en el Coche when Booth says "To Sweets, the little brother I never wanted but am glad I have". Throughout the show the two will give each other advice. Booth however does not always like to talk about his feelings very much and will often not go asking for advice. If he does he tries to get around the main questions. However Sweets will straight up ask Booth for advice mainly on relationship. The two will often tease each other mostly Booth teasing Sweets about his job. Despite the teasing it is shown that Booth respects Sweet and it seems that Sweets understands this and goes with the flow. "Go use your shrinky brain on them." is a quote Booth will often say when Sweets needs to go talk to suspects. After Lance breaks up with Daisy he is seen sleeping in his office. Booth helps him out and offers for him to stay a few nights. Booth does get uncomfortable a few times when Sweet oversteps like folding his underwear and taking a bath in the master bathroom. However Booth gets over it and tells him to stay as long as he needs. However Sweet reveals that he knows about the bets to see how long it takes until Sweets leaves the house or gets kicked out. Booth says he bets on 2 weeks. Over the course of several episodes Lance is still staying over and it becomes unknown how long he stayed there but it shows that no one seemed bothers as he becomes useful for watching Christine from time to time. Sweets asked Booth to be his unborn son's godfather, showing that Sweets loves Booth greatly. 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 gambling again in The Doom in the Boom. Sweets was even going to name his son Seeley, Booth's first name (which was carried out, Daisy giving him the name Seeley Lance). Booth was touched by being given Sweets's 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 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.
Bones[]
Brennan never completely believed that Sweets' profession was believable because she believed that Psychology is not a real science and stated this repeatedly throughout the progression of Seasons 3 through 9.
Bones: And I should accept your theory based on what?: "Sweets" Over and over again, I've proven to you that I'm good at what I do. So, please, explain to me how it is rational in any way for you to disregard what I say?: "'" — The Doctor in the PhotoAlthough she thinks he shouldn't call her "Bones", according to the episode Fire in the Ice; it is shown in the episode Mayhem on a Cross that he is writing a book about Bones' behavior and attitude, by the end of the same episode, Bones shows that she treated Sweets like a real friend, and maybe even as a part of her family. Bones seemed saddened of Sweets's death, showing that she cared for him very much. Bones also told everyone that none of us would be who we are if it weren't for Sweets. Like her husband, Bones was touched to receive Lance's final gift, the final version of his book, altered to not be a psychological study but their love story.
Sweets was more than just a therapist to Brennan, He was family, he was someone she could always count on, he will be forever missed and never forgotten.
Zack[]
Sweets became Zack's psychologist after Zack was institutionalized for his role in the rampage of Gormogon. He visited Zack almost every week for the past seven years before his death. Zack used Sweets' key card to escape the institution to help Booth and Brennan solve the murder of Jared Addison. After solving the case and spending time with Hodgins, Angela, and Cam, Zack returned to the institution with Booth. After Booth left, Zack revealed to Sweets that he never killed Ray Porter, but told Gormogon where to find him. Using this newfound knowledge, Sweets determined that Zack is not a killer at heart and deserved to be released. Sweets wanted him to change his story and tries to call Brennan and Booth, but Zack wanted to keep it between the two of them because he believes that if his secret gets out then Booth would throw him in prison and Hodgins assured him that he would not do well in prison. Sweets wanted Zack to tell the truth because he believed that The Apprentice was still out there, but Zack reassured Sweets that Gormogon killed him so he could recruit Zack since "there could only ever be two." Zack reminded Sweets that if he told anyone without his permission, then Sweets would be violating doctor-patient confidentiality. The episode closes with Zack at the institution and Sweets keeping Zack's secret, despite his visible worries about Zack.
It was revealed in The Hope in the Horror that when Sweets was murdered, Zack had trouble processing. He fell into a fit of rage and injured his head, leaving behind a long lobotomy-like scar across his forehead. Ever since then, Zack was withdrawn with everyone at the sanitarium. Sweets' theory about Zack was revealed to be true after Zack couldn't bring himself to kill The Puppeteer, even in self-defense. In the end, Zack finally revealed to Booth and Brennan his and Sweets' secret, that he never killed Ray Porter. Booth and Brennan agreed to help Zack get released after they find the real murderer of Ray Porter and finishing a part of Sweets' unfinished business. They were eventually able to exonerate him after locating the body of The Apprentice, although he will have to finish the remaining thirteen months on his sentence for assisting a known serial killer, which he accepts as it was better than the charges he was facing before. It can be assumed that Zack still misses Sweets and considered him a friend despite their professional courtesy.
Hodgins[]
Sweets is more like a helper for him, and always tried to help him solve his problems, especially the ones involving Angela. For example, he tried to figure out what was wrong with Angela's father while he was in town to teach Hodgins a lesson in the episode The Science in the Physicist, but Sweets was unable to get any information from him. In The Plain in the Prodigy, Sweets was called in by Booth to figure out why the murder victim in the episode, Levi Yoder, had rocks under his bed. He rearranged them to make it look like a keyboard for a piano. Hodgins seemed very saddened about Sweet's death, and called Sweets a good man.
Gordon Wyatt[]
In the episode Mayhem on a Cross, Sweets showed a great interest in Wyatt's job, and shows him that he read his book, giving the idea that he is a big fan. Although, minutes later, Sweets shows that Dr. Gordon is more like his mentor, as Wyatt not only helped Lance with his book, but also helped him with his childhood problem, by doing that, also helped a little bit more with Sweets' book about Bones' behavior. Gordon appeared to be upset when Booth mentioned Sweets in The Steal in the Wheels.
Clark Edison[]
Not much is known about Clark and Sweets's relationship, but Clark seemed very hurt about Sweets's death, but tried to keep a calm mind. Clark also felt that it was a shame that not all of them could have hit Durant (the man responsible for Sweets's death), showing that Clark was truly angry about Sweets's death. Even by bluntly stating that a slow and painful death was exactly what Kenneth Emory deserved. Clark also attended Sweets's funeral and sang Da Lime in Da Coconut, (Sweets's favorite song), showing that Clark respected Sweets.
Romantic Relationships[]
Daisy Wick[]
See also Sweets and Daisy
In season 4, he is shown to be dating one of Dr. Brennan's interns, Daisy Wick, though he is forced to fire her on Cam's behalf. The relationship is hinted at the end of "The Man in the Outhouse," when he calls her after a session with Brennan and Booth, and confirmed at the end of "The Skull in the Sculpture". It is clear he is quite protective of her, quickly disparaging the notion he could be ashamed of her by kissing her in front of the team—something surprising them all greatly.
In one episode The Cinderella in the Cardboard, Daisy is viewed fitting a wedding dress with an unknown male by Booth and Brennan. After much deliberation, Sweets confronts her, at which point they quickly resolve the fact Daisy is not having an affair, and she was simply fitting the dress for her cousin, and the unknown male was her cousin's fiance. At that point, Daisy closes the blinds to Sweets's office and they begin disrobing as the camera pans to another point of view. In The Bones on the Blue Line, he proposed to Daisy. Daisy's nickname for Lance is her "Sweet Lancelot"—a reference to his name, Lance Sweets, and to the romantic character, Lancelot, of Arthurian Myth.
They subsequently broke up in The Mastodon in the Room, but shortly got back together with Lance even contemplating proposing to her a second time but not going through with it. Ironically, twice Lancelot wanted to propose and each time he left her. Later on during the next season, she admits sometimes she misses him. Bluntly, she also admits to missing the sex they had.
In season 10, "The Conspiracy in the Corpse", it is revealed that he and Daisy got back together again. The reconciliation of their relationship resulted in her pregnancy. She's seen approximately 5 months pregnant with their son; whom she calls "Little Lance" affectionately. Sweets, unfortunately, never gets to see his son's birth. He's killed by a corrupt assailant named Kenneth Emory later in the episode. One of his last thoughts was of Daisy, and he requested to Dr. Brennan to tell her "not to worry", stating she worried too much.
April[]
He dated April, a tropical fish specialist until she broke up with him in "The Man in the Mud".
Olivia Sparling[]
In the Season 8 episode "The Gunk in the Garage", Sweets turns down a fellow FBI agent, Olivia Sparling, who is obviously interested in him, citing his serious relationship with Daisy; however, Olivia plants a huge kiss on Lance Sweets after shooting him accidentally. After his break up with Daisy, he did start a one time thing with Olivia, but it did not last long.
Jessica Warren[]
In Season 9 episode The Drama in the Queen, he and Jessica have a one-night stand.
