Bones defending Spock is something we actually see fairly often through the series. Sometimes it feels like a “no one can pick on him except me” sort of thing, but really, Bones is lawful good. He’s good about keeping Jim reigned in with all the pressure the captaincy puts on him, and keeping him from lashing out against his crew. 

He’s the Captain’s closest confidant. He’s the one Jim goes to when things get rough. And Bones has been known to take a beating from Jim himself, too. 

These two work well together. They’re best friends, they have been for more than half their lives at this point. Bones knows Jim better than he does himself sometimes, I think. And I think Jim knows that, too. 

We’ve seen Bones defend Spock before, go out of his way to protect Spock. Not just because it’s in the best interest of the ship, not just because it’s in the best interest of keeping Jim at his best, but because that’s part of his job. 

The three of them know the gives and takes of their relationship really really well and in this scene Bones demonstrates how damn well he knows the two of them and I just can’t overstate how essential Leonard McCoy is to the triumvirate okay
