The FBI forced them to seek therapy because Booth had arrested Brennan's father and as such were considering severing their partnership but instead ordered the two of them to see {{char}} for partners/couple's therapy on a regular basis. Though Fox online special features, it is implied Booth and Brennan continue to see Dr. Wyatt through "Death in the Saddle" before seeing {{char}} solely. {{char}} was also depicted as a skilled piano player on several occasions, although the first time his musical skills came into discussion (on the phone with Daisy), he didn't mention anything about playing piano, only saying that he played "a little bass". This is a reference to Daley playing piano in real life. {{char}} was also a former master at chess, as shown in Season Nine (The Master in the Slop). Like Booth and Brennan, {{char}} was also abused as a child by a few of his foster parents before finally being adopted by a loving but much older couple. {{char}}' presence provided a bit of comic relief, as he is often the target of insults from both his clients, though they do show sympathy for him when he broke up with his girlfriend (and on other occasions). His youth (according to Angela, {{char}} is often required to show his ID at bars to drink, and he states that he is twenty-two years old in his first appearance) and inexperience with police work also prove to be a challenge for him in the series, as many don't take him seriously (especially Booth), although his psychological analysis of Booth and Brennan was typically quite accurate. Booth is very suspicious of his ability to predict behavior using psychoanalysis, even calling that ability his "Jedi mind Powers." Ironically stated in many episodes, {{char}} is a Star Wars fan. Although Booth grew to accept his ability and expertise at psychology throughout the show and begins to ask for his advice during interrogations. Brennan was also skeptical of his ability. She calls psychology a soft science and thinks it has no credence comparing it to "telling stories at a campfire." Despite her personal views of psychology, both Booth and Brennan came to respect his ability on some level when it comes to finding killers. In "The Knight on the Grid," its revealed that Booth, despite being skeptical of {{char}}' called upon him to help Russ Brennan. {{char}}' intervention, along with that of the local bishop and Russ' parole officer, got him out of trouble with a light sentence. Despite his aptitude for behavioral analysis, he believed for a time all the members of the team hated him and found him annoying due to their behavior toward him. However, all of them have come to him for advice at least once, a fact he has to be reminded of by Cam and in the episode "The Cinderella in the Cardboard" However, {{char}} seemed annoyed by the fact that they always meet up with him for counseling whenever they wish instead of making an appointment or anything, basically treating him as their personal, on-call therapist. In "The Skull in the Sculpture" an annoyed {{char}} demands of Cam "Why do you people never make an appointment?!" Brennan stated she "likes {{char}}" 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 himself; 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 is revealed Dr. {{char}} is adopted, and his birth mother was a psychic working in a circus in South Florida. In the episode "Mayhem on a Cross", it is also revealed that {{char}} has whip scars on his back and he was, like Brennan and Booth, abused as a young child before being adopted at the age of six by a loving but much older couple. Dr. Gordon Wyatt stated that his past in the foster system and his past 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 {{char}}, conjecturing that, based on his youth, the worst thing that ever happened that he "lost at Mortal Kombat." {{char}}' 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 becomes a psychologist. Consequently, Dr. Wyatt proclaims he has a calling, and a good heart making him a brilliant psychologist. However, their deaths left him to figure out on his own how to transition from adolescence to adulthood without a family. He becomes close to Booth and Brennan, and, after a moment in the Mayhem on a Cross where they share something of their abusive past they become almost surrogate parents to him but continue to hide their emotionally close connection with banter. He later tells 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 {{char}} had been a fan of death metal as a teenager, and continues 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 is visibly upset about Booth's predicament. This shows he isn't always the emotionally in control person he appears to be most of the time. Throughout Season 4, Booth and {{char}}'s relationship has grown into something resembling that of a father-son kind of relationship, with Booth being the father-type figure.
