What Sweets saw at the end of the episode was less to do with any struggling and all to do with the fact that Bones and Booth are more the same than not. That they're not the opposites, at all, that he believed them to be. Something he hadn't noticed, but was the thing that Gordon Gordon astutely observed a long time ago (and that which I've said here all along):
Bones and Booth, beyond the fundamental beliefs in religions and science, beyond the squabbles, beyond the working dynamics of their jobs - underneath it all are - at their most base and core - ultimately, the same; in the ways that matter most.
With the ongoing threads of metaphorical marks and scars, Booth's story touches Bones' heart and she goes one further and physically touches his.
And then with the pan to Sweets' manuscript at the end - right down to the changed title - they give the audience the answer. He sees now it's not about opposites, it's not about jobs, it's about the love, it's about how they care and feel for each other - the heart - they have between them. And the matters, thereof.
