Did last night’s Bones present the most convoluted case in recent history? Find out below!
Ohh Bones, I honestly don’t know what to say about that opening scene but all I know is that I chuckled at Booth’s post-whip cream face. The team accompanies Brennan to the forensics convention where she is the key note speaker and everybody is getting loved on like they were rock stars; however Hodgins’ has a run in with someone from his past, a Dr. Saunders and does not react well.
Also at the convention is Brennan’ writing nemesis, Tess Brown, who is apparently trying to start researching her books before writing them. Hodgins returns from his talk with Dr. Saunders just as Dr. Harkness introduces Brennan. Just as she is about to start her speech with her joke from earlier, a fire alarm goes off. The team finds a body burning in the stairwell and a fire extinguisher only makes it worse.
While the team is working, the people of the convention yell out about their products and while at first not interested, the team eventually uses some LED headlamps to better see the victim. WENDELL! He’s back and in remission. Aubrey is doing security, a.k.a keeping the vultures back. Booth begins to question Tess and the team is using the products of the convention. This is already one of the most confusing cases and we are only 10 minutes in!
Number one suspect? Hodgins, who was last seen arguing with the victim. However, a kitchen worker’s shoe fits the print that Hodgins found next to the body. Turns out he was using the stairwell to blaze up and saw the dead body, he left not before he took the victim’s wallet of course.
Brennan and Booth meet up at the diner and again Booth gets the prize for best line: “You’re a genius, so don’t say stupid things.” Back at the Jeffersonian, the team is making strides in their respective areas. However, Hodgins is looking more and more like the best suspect after Cam finds his DNA on a Band-Aid. They bring him in to interrogation and Aubrey goes full steam ahead. Booth lets him go for a while as Hodgins explains away the evidence. Aubrey, “I really do think you’re a good guy, so please don’t be the killer.” Oy vey.
While interrogating Dr. Harkness, who started a relationship with Leona at the convention last year, reveals that the woman he was seeing before the victim didn’t take too kindly to being dumped. The woman? Tess Brown. While going over more evidence, Hodgins and Brennan realize that Wendell still isn’t back from his appointment and begins to worry.
After Hodgins invites one of the convention guys (Kirk from
Hodgins found a thermometer given to him by Glove Guy. He erased the memory of the device but left traces of his DNA and glove residue on the body. It’s complicated and Brennan lays it out much better than that. His response? “A worthy defeat.” Oh boy. His real motive is that she was sleeping with him to steal his design for a new invention. But no worries, he can work on it in prison.
It only took the team 24 hours. Impossible. However this is fiction so Brennan gets to give her speech finally, including her joke which slays the room and when she uses his ‘atmosphere’ joke in bombs. Oh well, can’t win them all!
