]]> People's Choice Awards were held at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles, CA on January 8, 2014 hosted by Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs from 2 Broke Girls. Emily Deschanel arrived on the red carpet wearing an art deco pattern black and white Max Azria dress accented by Miss Delicious shoes, House of Lavande earrings, Swarovski ring, and carrying an Edie Parker clutch. This was her first time attending the People's Choice Awards. Red carpet host Timm Gunn challenged her to correctly demonstrate where the cut-out paper bones on his tray would appear on his body. She passed with flying colors. Looks like she's picked up a trick or two from her nine years starring as a forensic anthropologist on Bones. Emily Deschanel and Michael Weatherly (NCIS), "who fight crime, drink wine and look so fine," presented the award for "Favorite Actress in a New TV Series" to Sarah Michelle Gellar for her role on The Crazy Ones. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgAnxct8b4Y This isn't the first time Bones and Sarah Michelle Gellar have crossed paths. David Boreanaz played Angel on Buffy the Vampire Slayer long before putting on his FBI uniform. In 2013, Sarah's husband, Freddie Prinze Jr., appeared as CIA Agent Danny Beck on the Bones episode "The Secrets in the Proposal". Bones was nominated for "Favorite Crime Drama" but lost to Nathan Fillion and Stana Katic in Castle.

]]> The Crime: We open with the FBI going through bags of trash at the scene of an accident where a semi tried to beat a yellow light and collided with a garbage truck. The victim is identified as an adolescent male who Hodgins says has been garbage for about three weeks. There are numerous fractions and breaks that Brennan says are congruent with a fall. The body seems to be wrapped in something and holding something in his hand. Brennan says “everything” goes back to the lab. The Bodies on the Table: Camille can’t get fingerprints and Zack says FBI is working on dental records. There are multiple shards of lead glass in the remaining tissue, and the contusions on the skull and his broken neck suggest a “swan dive”. He was dropped, but not hard enough to kill. His bones suggest he was unconscious before impact and Zack find that he was hit by a cylinder type object. The Evidence: Angela analyzes the stains on the cloth and finds that the tissue stains create a photo-negative of his features. When she runs his picture through the Center for Missing and Exploited Persons Database, they find out he’s Dylan Crane, 17, and an honor student from Alexandria who disappeared three weeks ago with his girlfriend, Kelly Morris who was in the foster system. DNA from the under the victim’s fingernails is female and there’s nail polish from the gauges on the arms. There were also traces of rust found in the scratches and on the places where the victim was struck. The Witnesses: The Cranes want to see their son, but Bones explains it’s not possible. They ask how he died and she says he fell from a height of about 50 feet. Booth and Brennan wonder if their son was despondent? They say no, he was a smart happy kid whose life centered around Kelly Morris. They were hoping the kids had run away together after they told Dylan to stop seeing her. They blame Kelly because of her foster child status. Kelly’s foster mother, Suzanne, says Dylan was a good kid and a good influence on Kelly. He was also good to Kelly’s little brother Alex. Brennan asks if the couple was sexually active and the foster mom says she had caught them and had to forbid Kelly to bring Dylan into the house after that. She says Kelly and her brother are extremely close. Kelly knew that the foster mom was looking for a new home for them because she couldn’t keep them both. During the interview, Alex comes into the office asks if Dylan is alright. They explain he died and they ask if he knows where Kelly is. He says no. Booth and Brennan talk to some street kids and gets nothing, but a couple in a van that hands out sandwiches, medicine and condoms has information. The Duncans know Dylan and Kelly and take Booth and Brennan to a warehouse where the kids squatted. The building where they were staying was a plumbing supply warehouse. At the building there’s a make-shift memorial with a copy of Romeo and Juliet that Dylan had given to Kelly. Brennan stops a street kid that runs and is wearing Dylan’s jacket. He doesn’t want to talk with Booth but she gets him to open up based on her own foster care experience. He tells them to check out the “sandwich pervs”. The Revelations: Hodgins quotes Romeo and Juliet to Zack and Brennan when he reveals that the flower in Dylan’s hand was a rose. From the trash that surrounded his body Hodgins is able to place the victim at a Russian restaurant. When Hodgins identifies the type of rose that was found in Dylan’s hand, they find that Dylan would have had to have been at the Rose Wing of the US Botanic Garden at some point. When interrogating Mr. Duncan, the sandwich guy, it becomes obvious that he had propositioned Kelly and tried to trade sandwiches for sex. Despite his protests that he has changed, he hasn’t. Later, he ends up on Cam’s autopsy table. He’s been shot and they think the murders could be connected. Hodgins identifies the pipe and Cam asks Angela to run the scenario through the computer, but there are too may variables. They re-enact the argument. Brennan says there had to be a third person and they assume it’s Kevin Duncan, but that poses a problem. Why would Kelly confess to protect a dead man? Booth figures out there are only two people Kelly would cover for and one of them went out the window. The Verdict: At the garden Hodgins and Bones find Kelly Morris. she takes the blame for killing Dylan and under interrogation says it was because he broke his promise and was leaving her. She says she pushed him out the window, he screamed and she ran away. But Brennan says no, you wrapped him in linen and put a rose in his hand. When they say the sandwich guy died and they think the two deaths were connected she confesses to that murder too. The advocate stops the interrogation at that point. At the diner, Brennan says Kelly’s lying and Booth says he’s trying to think of a reason why she would. Mrs. Duncan (sandwich guy’s wife) shows up and confesses to her husband’s death so Kelly won’t have to take the blame. Kelly continues to say she’s guilty, but Brennan connects with her and explains that she thinks she ran away with Dylan so Suzanne would keep Alex and maybe everyone would be happy. She confesses Alex thought Dylan was trying to take her away from him forever. Brennan tells her that it’s not her fault and they can’t let her pay for what Alex did. The Relationships: There’s tension in the beginning between Brennan, Booth and Cam. Booth and Cam jump to the assumption that the victim is a street kid and Bones has huge issues with these assumptions. Brennan is offended by Cam’s prejudices of kids in the foster system, having been a part of it as a child. She does not reveal that information to Cam, however. The tension continues as Booth and Cam take the evidence and begin manipulating theories of what could have happened. Brennan hates this and goes off, saying before they convict Kelly of murder because she’s a foster kid she’s going to find actual evidence. She reminds them that Dylan died from a fall. Later when it looks like Dylan was killed protecting Kelly, Brennan is drawn into the conjecture by her own prejudices, but when asked, still thinks they need to stay open to all the evidence like they did before Cam. There is a confrontation scene where things between Brennan and Cam come to a head. Brennan wants Hodgins to identify the type of the rose Dylan was holding and Cam wants to look for the sandwich guy’s DNA on the pipe. When she tells Brennan no, Brennan says she can’t work like this. When Cam asks if she should start looking for her replacement, Angela jumps in and says if you lose Brennan - you lose us all. Cam says in the interest of the investigation she’ll defer to Brennan, but she will start the search for her replacement. Later Cam asks Booth what would happen if Dr. Brennan were to quit the Jeffersonian. He asks what’s going on and she says, “What if I fired her?” He says, “I’m with Bones, Cam. All the way. Don’t doubt it for a second.” Then he tells her she may have gotten off on the wrong foot on the case with Brennan because she was a foster kid. Cam feels awful and Booth says to remember he didn’t tell her that. In the end, Cam meets Brennan at the diner. they each admit the other was right about evidence. Brennan says they have a problem and confesses her foster care history and talks about the reasons Booth says it’s hard for her to give up control. She mentions how she hates psychology. Cam says not everyone’s brain works as fast as yours. She reminds Dr. Brennan that she’s in charge, but she could extend a “get out of jail free” card to her occasionally. They negotiate three per week. Brennan knows Booth told her. There’s some flirtation between Angela and Hodgins in this episode when he misinterprets her statement about the squat being a strange place for two people in love to end up. In the awkwardness that follows his obvious interpretation that it was about the two of them, he covers that he was talking about Booth and Cam. In the end Hodgins puts the white rose next to Angela and she smiles as he walks out.

]]> Bones stars David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel along with show creator Hart Hanson and executive produce Ian Toynton, who will director the first episode of season 9, wowed Ballroom 20 at San Diego Comic Con 2013 on Friday afternoon July 19 from 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm. Executive producer Stephen Nathan was scheduled to join then but attended in spirit as he was unable to make it. https://twitter.com/squarechicken/status/358229500510744577 Prior to the panel, the four Bones representatives hit the Press Room, trying their best to answer questions without giving too much away. A few minutes later, the performers and producers were walking on stage to thunderous applause from the hall packed with Bones fans. Following the introductions, David as Agent Booth, got down on one knee and proposed to Brennan giving fans the photo opportunity of a life time. "Do you want to do this the right way?" he asks the room. Rather than show clips from the season eight ending episode, Emily and David read through highlights by switching parts. Emily read Booth's part in her best jock cop voice while it took David longer to get into character because he kept getting distracted by examining pretend bones. Ian Toynton will direct the opening episode of season 9 which begins filming on Monday. The episode "The Secret in the Proposal" will pick up three months from where we left off. Booth and Brennan's relationship is rocky and Booth, who has no one to confide in, consults an old friend who used to be a priest. Hart Hanson confirms, there will definitely be a Booth and Brennan wedding this season! While discussing Christopher Pelant, Hart Hanson is tricked into revealing Pelant will meet his end this season. David offers many potential ways this could plan out including floating him out in space, Moonraker-style.
"I don't like serial killers they just kill a lot of people and aren't very interesting characters to me." -- Hart Hanson
Hart explains how the rotating crew of squinterns are only available until one of them lands an extended role. His hope for the next squintern would be a totally unbearable person who is wheelchair bound. After answering moderated questions, fans were able to pose a few queries of their own. If Emily was a character in the Angel universe what would she be like? Emily jumps in, "Immortal. Let's just start there." They decide on "Sister Soultaker." Will Sweets get back with Daisy? Hart Hanson: "I don't want to tell you. I'll say this. Sweets is still on the show and Daisy is still on the show. Please watch and find out." Will we ever see Dr Zack Addy again? Hart Hanson: "Never say never" Where would you like to film an international episode? Emily chimes right in with Morocco and Paris. David lists Rome as his top choice. Ian would love to return to London. "Where they have horrible coffee and everything's fried", sings David. Hart reveals that in the event the television series comes to an end, we can talk about a Bones feature film.

A Day with Bones at Comic Con

Emily and David both tweeted they were driving to San Diego for the day just to attend this yearly event. While fans were already taking their places in ballroom 20, David Boreanaz started the day by appearing on the local Fox station's morning show. Then, David had enough time to squeeze in an interview with Michael Ausiello for TV Line. Emily Deschanel's great look can be attributed in part to her natural beauty but today, her hair is by David Garnder and makeup by Amy Nadine. Next, David and Emily had a photo shoot with Entertainment Weekly.

]]> Bones is back for its 9th season on Monday September 16 at 8 pm (ET). Following the baseball World Series, Bones will move to Fridays at 8 pm from November 8. The script for episode one, confirmed by executive producer Stephen Nathan to be titled “The Secrets in the Proposal” (confirmed via TVLine), has been handed out to cast and crew members. And executive producer Ian Toynton has, via Twitter, announced shooting Season 9 will begin on July 23rd. In regards to the season premiere, Stephen Nathan said, “We want to continue exploring how Booth and Brennan adjust after their ill-fated proposal and the secret Booth is forced to keep. Secrets will be a theme we keep alive — and dead (we are a murder show after all) — in the episode.” http://twitter.com/David_Boreanaz/status/354951614760624129 Following Bones on Mondays will be the premiere of the thrilling adventure fantasy, Sleepy Hollow at 9 pm. According to FOX, the series is a modern-day twist on Washington Irving’s 1820 short story, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. In the series, Ichabod Crane (played by Tom Mison, “Salmon Fishing in the Yemen”) is resurrected and pulled two and a half centuries through time to find that the world is on the brink of destruction and that he is humanity’s last hope, forcing him to team up with a contemporary police officer (Nicole Beharie, “42,” “Shame,” “American Violet”) to unravel a mystery that dates back to the founding fathers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hFg9qS_u3w New unscripted series, Junior MasterChef, will debut Friday September 27 at 8 pm. FOX says the new culinary competition for talented kids gives “budding cooks between the ages of eight and 13 the opportunity to showcase their talent, culinary smarts and passion for food through a series of delicious challenges and cook-offs.” Award-winning chef Gordon Ramsay, restaurateur and winemaker Joe Bastianich (Del Posto, Eataly) and acclaimed chef Graham Elliot (Graham Elliot, Graham Elliot Bistro) will coach and encourage the kids to cook like pros, as well as teaching them the tricks of the trade along the way. The concept has been successful in Australia and Greece. There are no promos for the US series, but promos for the Australian and Greece seasons can be found on YouTube. Bones will replace Junior MasterChef from November 8, and will be followed by season three of Raising Hope. High-tech, high-stakes action drama Almost Human premieres Monday November 4, filling Bones vacant 8 pm slot. The series is executive produced by Emmy Award winner J.J. Abrams (“Fringe”, “Lost”, the “Mission: Impossible” and new “Star Trek” franchises) and created by J.H. Wyman (“Fringe”, “The Mexican”). Almost Human stars Karl Urban (“Star Trek”, “Lord of the Rings”) and Michael Ealy (“Sleeper Cell”, “Common Law”), and is set 35 years in the future, when police officers in Los Angeles are paired with highly evolved human-like androids. An unlikely partnership is forged when a part-machine cop (Urban), who has a dislike for robots, is forced to pair with a part-human robot (Ealy), with emotional feelings, as they fight crime in a futuristic new world. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykwxg534yAw FOX announced the renewal of Bones early, choosing to announce it before season 8’s back half began in January. The news shouldn’t be a surprise for fans. In spring 2012, FOX renewed the show for Season 8 – while signing a licensing deal for two. For those who don’t understand, it meant FOX has the option of picking Bones up for Season 9 without having to go through studio red tape a second time. Getting a 9th season just proves how resilient the show has been since it started in 2005. Bones has survived through renewal seasons up against a strong FOX line-up of scripted dramas, and even came through the writer’s strike stronger than ever (albeit having a slightly shorter season). There’s so far no dates for when Season 9 will premiere in other countries – for the Boneheads outside of the US, stay tuned. iDigBones will keep you updated with the schedule for all countries.

]]> The Crime: Booth and Brennan are called to the scene of a body that washes up on the Delaware Bay. Before they leave the Jeffersonian, Booth tells Brennan that it could be the body of Carlie Richardson. When she says “who?”, they banter about her lack of knowledge of television and current events. Booth says Carlie was a newlywed they assumed was murdered by her cheating husband. There was evidence that they fought. He was covered with scratches and seen at the marina on the bay the day of her disappearance, but without a body, he walked. At the bay, a badly decomposed body wrapped in plastic is pulled from the water. Bones identifies it as caucasian, female, 25 - 30 years old, and says it’s been in the water about a year. Cam lifts the plastic and says “They have.” Brennan notes that the size of the fetal bones indicates the fetus was viable. Booth wonders how someone could do this to their own kid, still assuming Kyle is the murderer. The Bodies on the Table: Zack says the multiple fractures on the woman’s body could be from assault or battering by rocks and debris in the water. There are stab wounds that prove it was a very violent death, missing bones, and a missing murder weapon. Bones asks Zack to confirm the knife that’s missing from the husband’s set matches the marks on the bone and Cam sets to work on the organic material under the fingernails. A locket is also found melted into the lung. It says “I love you, Kenny.” Not much is said about the baby. The Evidence: The clothes on the body match the last thing Carlie Richardson was seen wearing and Booth delivers a box of stuff from Richardson’s house that contains rope, plastic sheeting, and a knife set with one missing. They also have Kyle’s DNA results for comparison and a dead fish from the plastic wrapping that leads Hodgin’s to a realization that breaks the case open. The team re-enacts the stabbing with a dummy, hoping to match the amount of force used with that of a man of Kyle Richardson’s stature. They invite Booth because he’s closest to Kyle’s size. They’re all surprised when the force matches Angela’s height and weight. Karen Tyler, the girlfriend, is a similar size. The Witnesses: Kyle Richardson’s girlfriend, Karen Tyler says Kyle hit her and ran after seeing the body had been found. She says they started dating after his wife went missing. Later after Dennis and Patricia Campbell, Carlie’s parents, prove she knew Kyle before that, the team takes her DNA. Karen explains she and Kyle were waiting to be together until after he and Carlie separated to make it look better. A second group of witnesses is the mom’s group that Carlie formed with three other expectant mothers. They tell Booth and Brennan that Kenny was Carlie’s dog and the missing picture was of her and the canine. Mary Corbus, a veterinarian, took care of the dog when Kyle accidentally backed over it with the car. She throws doubt on whether it was an accident. Booth and Brennan show a picture of Karen to the friends, and when they hear she was the girlfriend, they say maybe that was why Carlie said she didn’t want the baby. The vet, says she’s pretty sure she saw Carlie and Karen together around the time of the murder. The Revelations: The fish that Hodgin’s tests is a fresh water fish, proving that the body was moved from fresh water to the bay. When they dredge the closest body of fresh water, the sediment doesn’t match and the next body of water is over 60 miles away. This messes up the timeline. Kyle Richardson couldn’t have been at the murder site and the marina. Particles in the cut marks lead Hodgins to the scene of the crime on the shore of a creek in New Jersey. Angela says thunderstorms carried Carlie and the baby to the bay. Cam says the DNA under Carlie’s nails belongs to Kyle, but there is also DNA from a woman and it’s not Karen Tyler’s. The fetus had antidepressants in its system which could only have been transferred through breastfeeding. When the team looks more closely at the infant’s skull, they see the child was born alive and lived for two weeks. It’s not the Richardson’s baby. Their baby was cut out of Carlie, stolen, and replaced with the baby who died from shaken baby syndrome, probably as the result of its mother’s post partum depression. The Verdict: When Angela inputs the infant’s skull dimensions into a program that shows what the child would have looked like as it aged, Booth and Brennan see the similarities with the killer. The killer used a scalpel and an antiseptic used to prep patients for surgery. All of this leads them to the vet, Mary Corbus. The child is returned to his father, Kyle Richardson, who ran because everyone had already decided he was guilty. He was at the marina that night trying to figure out how to tell her Carlie he was leaving her for Karen. The Relationships: As the episode begins, both Booth and Brennan are aggravated with other people. Brennan is having trouble adjusting to Cam’s authority and Booth is worried that Rebecca’s new boyfriend, Drew, might be taking his place in Parker’s life. Rebecca confronts Booth regarding his overprotective and controlling behavior. She reminds him she doesn’t legally have to let him see Parker. Brennan seems to be competing with Cam in everything from who can get to the site the quickest, to who Zack belongs to. The fact that Cam says finding the body should make it a slam dunk against Richardson only motivates Bones to prove her wrong. Cam asks her if she’s working for the defense, but Brennan says,“No, the victims.” Eventually she sees Cam wants the same thing. Booth and Bones discuss parenthood in the car and Bones mentions she doesn’t know how mother’s do it, giving up their lives for years to raise the child. Booth says when it’s your kid, you don’t feel like you’re giving up anything. When asked if he’d have Parker all over again, even with all the Rebecca drama, Booth says no question. At the diner, Booth and Brennan wait for Parker. When Rebecca and Drew both show up, too, Booth almost starts a fight. However, when he looks at Parker and Brennan he realizes that Parker is what matters. He invites them to have coffee and tells Bones she can stay. She says it’s a family thing and watches from the door before leaving.

]]> The Crime: We open on a rainy night with Booth and Brennan racing towards a crime scene where they encounter a burning car, a passenger train off the tracks, and Camille Saroyan, Brennan’s new boss and Booth’s ex-lover. The placement of the car on the tracks seems deliberate, probably suicide. Brennan says the body in the car had a lot of jewelry, was male, tall, and wore and ID bracelet of good quality gold. It’s slightly melted, too melted for a car fire...oh, and she can’t find the missing skull. Cam comes running to let Booth know they found three bodies in the first class car which makes it a homicide. One of them is a senator. The Bodies on the Table: Brennan says the body is 6'7" and with Booth’s help, identifies him as a possible basketball player. Hodgin’s puts that together with the initials on the ID bracelet, and they identify him as Warren Lynch, a famous former basketball player and CEO of Lynch Pin Industries. Cam ID’s the senator as Paula Davis. The Evidence: Zack and Brennan say it wasn’t a suicide. The man was dead for several hours before the train hit him based upon bone evidence. There’s a photo from the carpool lane of Mr. Lynch on the afternoon of the accident, but no one saw him in the hours between. The SEC was about to leak charges against Lynch for shorting stock. With his death, someone stood to gain tens of millions of dollars. Bone density analysis suggests bone loss and drug use. Was Warren Lynch a heroine addict? There were also two types of glass found at the scene, car window glass and glass from jars. After a spam experiment, Hodgins and Zack find that jars of accelerant had been placed in the car to make it burn hotter and longer. The Witnesses: Booth and Brennan talk to the Lynch's wife. They learn the victim’s motto was “accidentally on purpose” and that he didn’t play by the rules. He and his wife were separating due to many infidelities. She sends them to Rick Turco, one of Lynch’s private investigators. Booth threatens to open up a drug investigation on Turco, but Turco says he doesn’t believe Lynch was a junkie. Warren Lynch brought him in to deal with a blackmailer that was probably more serious than a scorned girlfriend. Turco paid the blackmailer off three days before. The Revelations: The Angelatron shows that the skull Zack pieced together belonged to a man whose face wasn’t that of Warren Lynch. Therefore, the body in the car isn’t him. Angela discovers faked dental records. The Angelatron also recreates the sequence of damage to victim’s body. This let’s us know that the corpse was forced into a jacket by two people. Pictures from the carpool lane expose Turco as being in the car in the next lane when Lynch was last seen. Therefore they conclude Turco was possibly the last person to see him. Later, they find Warren Lynch in the hospital. He was thrown from a speeding car, unconscious, and badly beaten. The severe brain damage means that he won’t wake up and can’t ever tell them what happened. After Brennan stares at the dolphin belt buckle that was so important to her mother that her dad buried her with it, she realizes that in the hospital, Lynch still had his championship ring. He had to have been in on it. The Verdict: They confront Turco, who of course denies everything, and blames the blackmailer. When Booth’s about to give up, Brennan tells him to try the “lying thing” and gives him the piece of information that makes Turco believe Lynch woke up. It works. The prosecutor tells them at most they can get Turco for ten years. She insults the Jeffersonian team when she implies their forensic work wasn’t good enough. However, Cam steps up to the plate, calling the team her “people” and puts the prosecutor in her place. The Relationships: Throughout the episode, two themes that flow through all season two appear. Is Brennan’s Dad a good guy or a bad guy? Who is Cam and can she be an effective and accepted part of the gang? Brennan struggles through the question about her father by talking to Booth. He takes her to meet the man who took out her mother’s killer and she’s upset because she thinks she’ll never know what happened. However, the murderer says to see McVicar’s death as a message from Max. This only confuses her more. If her dad took out a hit on a man isn’t he bad? Booth says maybe not. He later takes her to her mother’s grave, where she awkwardly attempts to connect with her mother at his request, even though she believes that her mom is 100% dead and can’t hear her. She asks out loud whether her dad was a good man or a bad man. She says, “What’s the truth? Do I keep looking or let it go like he asked? Who’s he protecting himself? Or me and Russ?” Booth tells her the answers won’t come right away. As far as Camille Saroyan is concerned, the episode shows us that she and Seeley Booth knew each other before and have a good friendship, but that she didn’t come back for him. She’s there for the job opportunity. It also makes clear that she’s a people person, as evidenced by the nicknames she gives the group (Zacaroni and Hodge Podge), and how quickly she learns what’s important to them. She asserts her authority over her team, but also let’s them know she has their back. While it takes Brennan most of the show to decide, in the end she finds Cam worthy of respect.

]]> The Blackout in the Blizzard, at the end of the episode when Booth and Brennan are talking about their relationship Brennan said "When the time´s come and you aren't angry anymore and I'm strong enough to risk the last of my imperviousness maybe then we can try to be together" so he knows she took a big risk to be with him, she changed , if we can say it, some of her beliefs to be with him and when she ask him to marry her, he knew it was a huge step from her, it was something he never believed could happen. On the other hand, when Brennan met Booth she realizes the kind of man he is. She knows he will do anything to save innocent people. In season 1 Booth told Brennan "I want to save the same number of people I've killed" and she answer "I want to help you" so she knows he would do anything to save innocent lives. Stephen Nathan also said "Relationships don't usually survive when two parties are withholding things form each other"; I think just Booth is hiding something from Brennan, the real reason why he said better not to the marriage, but I think is a big sacrifice on his part, because he told Sweets, that was something he was waiting for a long time, this situation is affecting both of them but, for me, Booth is the one that is going to suffer the most, he is the one that has to bear with the lie and more than anything with the pain of the woman he loves. I think that the hardest part that Booth has to face is that he needs to earn Brennan's trust again, this situation is going to be a jump back for her and he needs to find the way to make her to believe in him again. At the end, they love each other and I think Brennan will understand why Booth had to do what he did, it´s going to be hard, but not impossible because she proved what she is willing to do for him.

]]> In a show with an ensemble cast as awesome as Bones, there will be a diverse group of fans that watch with a diverse group of interest focus. As a disclaimer, I will confess that I watch primarily for the Booth and Brennan storyline, interactions, moments. Thus, this recap will be colored by that focus.

"The Pathos in the Pathogens" begins with the Jeffersonian in the midst of preparation to receive a body that was discovered in a biohazard waste facility along with veterinary remains. The majority of personnel are being evacuated as Cam, Angela, Hodgins, Arastoo and Brennan are suiting up to enter a newly erected biohazard “tent” that surrounds the examination platform. Dr. Ivan Jacobs with the CDC accompanies the body which turns out to be that of a female blogger, Mia Garrett, who specialized in big pharmaceutical and medical research stories. The victim is identified through facial recognition which Brennan does faster than Angela’s software because the victim’s mandible and maxilla had been smashed. This led to one of the few lighter moments in the show when Angela asked why they even used the software since they had Brennen. Brennan quipped, “Under normal circumstances it allows me to take a longer lunch.” Yep, that was about the last humorous moment in the show because shortly after that, as Brennan, Arastoo and Dr. Jacobs are attempting to move the body into a bag, Arastoo is stuck by something that pierces his glove and draws blood. Brennan later discovers that Arastoo had been poked by the remains of the microneedle used to inject the victim with the mutated strain of the still unknown organism. The intensity ramps up at that moment and the focus shifts from victim #1 to potential victim #2. It had already been determined that whatever organism killed Mia was not airborne, so the biohazard tent and suits became unnecessary, however the Jeffersonian security protocols are ramped up because Arastoo has been exposed. Booth has been worrying at the FBI building and as the bone room is converted into a makeshift hospital room, Brennan chats with Booth, giving us a sweet moment between the two...which is overheard by Dr. Jacobs as he stops by Brennan’s office to inform her of the latest development. At Arastoo’s insistence, the team studies the progression of the organism as it begins working on him. A strain of the Chikungunya (CHICKV) virus is identified from tests run on Arastoo and a serum is brought from the CDC which has worked on some previous cases. Brennan re-examines bone lesions found on Mia because they don’t mimic CHICKV. In the meantime, Sweets has interviewed Mia’s boyfriend, as well as Dr. Burke, the last person MIa interviewed while working on a story about lab research and viral mutations. As Brennan scans Arastoo, she points out that whoever injected Mia would likely have an antidote to the virus. They discover Mia was working on a story about a lab that develops performance enhancing drugs for horses. This leads Booth to interview the owner of horses that have benefitted from the drugs. It turns out he was also having an affair with Mia. Thus suspicion falls back on the boyfriend. The serum arrives from the CDC. Arastoo describes his reaction...until he can’t. His heart beat increases, he has difficulty breathing followed by paralysis and then seizure. Cam reacts quickly, giving him something to lower his heart rate and that works. In the meantime, Brennan discovers Hodgins in his lab working on a serum he’s creating from plants, animal and insect in an effort to help Arastoo. The needle contained no helpful information and though he’s ready to defend his efforts to Brennan, she jumps right in and starts helping him get the weight to dosage ratio correct. Cam and Dr. Jacobs prepare Arastoo for another procedure. Cam puts Arastoo under because the treatment will be painful. Dr. Jacobs estimates Arasoo has about four hours left. The boyfriend is interviewed again. Dr. Jacobs balks at the idea of using Hodgin’s serum and puts his foot down stating the CDC is in charge. Cam overrides him saying the CDC is in charge of Mia, she is the boss of the lab and responsible for Arastoo. She lets Brennan give Arastoo the treatment. When Arastoo’s condition improves slightly, Dr. Jacobs apologizes and Brennan gives him a very “eloquent insult”. Angela breaks through Mia’s encryption and discovers files that indicate Dr. Burke previously worked for a different facility which led to a lawsuit for wrongful termination, but the documents were sealed. This leads Booth and Sweets to the owner of the lab where Dr. Burked worked two years previous. The lab’s owner reveals that she was fired because several CHICKV cultures went missing. They couldn’t prove she took them. Brennan discovers postmortem cellular reproduction has been continuing in the injection site on Mia which has caused a fracture of the humerus. This leads Hodgins to the discover the organism also contains botulinum toxin...they the organism is both viral and bacterial. Booth interviews Burke again. She implicates the owner of the lab that fired her. She’s convinced he would do anything to avoid losing his funding. Dr. Jacobs identifies that lab as the source for the botulinum. Booth goes into the hyper-aggressive mode we’ve seen in several of the latest episodes, arrests the lab owner and brings him to the Jeffersonian when he clams up. At the Jeffersonian, Booth tries to muscle the location of the antidote out of the lab owner to no avail. He’s about ready to go off on the dude when Cam stops him. She tearfully pleads with the man, even admitting that she loves Arastoo. He does not relent. As Booth starts to get aggressive again, Brennan stops him. She picks up a syringe, tells the lab owner that she was able to distill the virus and promptly injects him in the neck with it. This finally gets the man to agree to tell them where the antidote is. The look of love and pride on Booth’s face is something to behold. Finally, the murderer is caught, Arastoo is saved. Cam accompanies him as he is transported to the hospital. The episode was well-rounded with a fairly even amount of character contribution. Angela provided help with facial reconstruction and computer file decryption providing information that led to the capture of the murderer. Hodgins provided the location of the victim prior to her death because of insect activity. He distilled a serum from plants and insects that gave Arastoo extra time for the antidote to be administered. He was protective of Angela, telling her to steer clear of Arastoo during the investigation. They had a nice moment at the end where Angela let Hodgins know he was instrumental in keeping Arastoo alive and they are both witness to Cam hovering over Arastoo as he is transported to the hospital. Sweets was front center in the majority of the interviews conducted in this investigation. He was by Booth’s side the rest of the time. Cam was grace under extreme pressure as she artfully switched between lab administrator, doctor and worried lover. If there was a character which was featured in this episode, I would say it was Brennan (rightfully so since the show is called Bones). She made the majority of the key discoveries, helped Hodgins in creating the serum, communicated with the FBI numerous times and managed to enthrall Dr. Jacobs without batting an eye. Her interactions with Booth were classic Booth and Brennan even though they weren’t physically together until the end of the episode. Both Jacobs and Booth find Brennan in her office at the end of the episode. Dr. Jacobs comes to thank her and is present as Booth arrives. Jacobs tells Booth he is a lucky man and Booth agrees. As Booth and Brennan are leaving, Brennan tells Booth that there was no virus in the syringe she used...but tells him she would have used the virus if she had it. Booth tells Brennan that Jacobs really has no clue about how lucky he is and Brennan replies that she loves Booth too. She asks if they can stop for a drink on the way home. He agrees and says, “Champagne, the good stuff.” How will the events of this episode impact these characters going forward? That remains to be seen, but I think it’s fair to say that Brennan was impacted by Cam’s distress over Arastoo as well as by her own feelings toward him given that she has already lost an intern in the lab. She even mentions that she would have missed Arastoo had they not been able to get the antidote. I’m sure she will continue to reflect on how connected she has become to all of these people and to Booth in particular. I would not be surprised to see a shift in her attitude toward marriage in the future. In other news, the promo for the finale next week looked quite intense as well.
