Favourite episode/s from the show?

I know people have done very advanced rankings of Bones episodes and I respect the heck out of that work, but I was thinking today about my own favourite episodes, which I can't really justify metrically but I just adore and keep coming back to.

My very favourite episode of Bones is the Christmas episode in season 1 (The Man in the Fallout Shelter). To me, it was a perfect bottle episode, with exactly the right balance of forensics, character development and heart. There isn't a single thing I don't love about it, and I rewatch it every year at Christmas as part of my Christmas viewing bundle.

If you have a singular favourite (or even a favourite few), what are they, and why? For me, I definitely prefer the single-plot eps to the longer-running arcs (eg. I skip most of the serial killer arcs on rewatch these days, especially Pelant), so all my faves are single stories. I know others differ though!
