Did tonight’s Bones hit all the right key commands? Find out below!

Good evening Bones fans! I must tell you that I was not going to watch this season once I heard that our beloved Sweets was murdered, regardless of the storyline and background reasons. However someone needed to give you your weekly Bones updates and I accepted the challenge. I will try to not be bitter, something that has been difficult for me since Booth and Bones first got together.

I will not go into detail here it’s fair to say that I felt genuinely robbed of the romance and relationship development after devoting six years of my life to see them finally be together. So if you notice bitterness, I apologize. But really, Hart Hanson should be the one to apologize. I digress!

After our cold open of two kids using a satellite to view naked ladies turns into them discovering a dead body, we head over to the Bones’ new house. HAHAHA. We can all be happy that the show aged Christine and that she is able to talk after she tells Booth that “Mommy says size is determined genetically.” What sass. And apparently a genius as she understand her mother’s mumbo-jumbo explanation as to why she needs to eat her breakfast.

The new squint Jessica (aka Emily from The Big Bang Theory) is already on Bones’ nerves and seems to have quite the living situation going on, as she lives on an educational cooperative whatever that means. Is it weird to have Booth defend the squints, even to Aubrey? Well, he does, and then asks his opinion on kindergarten as that is what he and Brennan are currently disagreeing over. Booth clearly doesn’t have that same relationship with Sweets (RIP!) that he is trying to build with Aubrey and immediately regrets asking him.

Bones is clearly curious about Jessica’s cooperative, that’s where she was born, but sadly the main leader/teacher is leaving and “the experiment” is over. Angela and Hodgins decide that Michael Vincent (May he also RIP) will suffice with a public education, mostly because that’s all they can afford.

Aubrey is a game nerd (love it) and Booth is unimpressed. “What are you into… gardening?” HA! He geeks out over the headquarters and it’s hilarious. Bones is also dealing with a new personality in Emily, but they do share a “cooperative” moment and she has clearly perfected Booth’s “I’m not impressed” look. However Hodgins and Jessica have no trouble bonding over their experiment.

At lunch, Booth brings up a public school that has a playground and after Bones shuts him down they both talk about how they both moved around to multiple schools. All Bones wants is for Christine to have consistency. That seems fair. Back at the lab, Bones is a bit more open to the way Jessica was taught and offers to help and even tells her that she researched her home and found it to be not as bad as she initially thought.

Brennan and Angela are having mommy time, which is kind of awkward, not gonna lie. Do we really need to know where the couples do it? It’s great and all to see Booth kiss Bones but… that just felt odd. Bones then asks Angela if she is incapable of being open to new ideas. (Side: Another reason I have disliked the show in the last couple seasons is after years of personal growth in order to create conflict for her and Booth the writers took all of that growth away. Bugs me. End side.) Angela tells her to do what feels right for her, which is pretty solid advice.

Hodgins accidentally gets Jessica to break down about losing her family/home and Angela gets her to come home with them for the night to drink. Awww. Brennan has been doing research for the schools and has decided to leave that decision up to Booth. Progress! Minus the fact that she has picked her top choices and her reasons why Christine can’t go to public school. And there it is.

Case of the Week:

The dead body turns up on the beach and Jessica and Booth hypothesize or use their gut to intimate that the victim was part of a revenge/gang killing. We will find out! Hodgins recognizes the victim’s face as Hayes Robertson, a “gazillionaire video game designer.” His roommate Noah doesn’t leave their house, having only left twice in the last three months and apparently had a joint checking account with Robertson and Booth immediately throws suspicion on the roommate.

Our victim was hit with a blunt force trauma then dropped into water, ouch. At the game headquarters they meet Anne, who was Noah’s ex-girlfriend, and also the number two programmer at the company. A very grumpy woman, Jen Parks, who I can only assume is the CEO, is clearly a rhymes-with-witch and kicks Booth and Aubrey off of the premises.

Divers find Robertson’s arms (ick) weighed down in the river. Our victim was one of the people who did motion capture for the video game, discovered by Jessica that the wounds are consistent with the game choreography. Booth and Aubrey try to ask the choreographers some questions and he does not like that and literally fights two FBI agents. So much dumb. Booth, then Aubrey eventually take him down. He admits to beating up Robertson but nothing ever came of it because of some bracelet. Yeah, doesn’t make any sense.

Angela tracks down where Robertson was going and it was an apartment under the name of Noah’s girlfriend Chloe but the apartment is completely empty. However, she has a different name, Alice Kelly. Back at the lab, Jessica finds the cause of death (Go girl!) and Brennan is impressed, even if she doesn’t say it.

Booth tells Noah that apparently his girlfriend and Hayes were cheating on him and he DOES NOT handle it well, but when confronted by Noah Chloe does not know who he is. Uh what? Turns out Hayes basically catfished his best friend, what a loser.

While Noah is talking to Alice, he mentions that he sent her gifts including a diamond wristlet. Noah also mentions to Booth that if Hayes was pretending to be Chloe, who was talking to him the week he was supposed to be dead? Also, Alice is really digging Noah’s flirt game. Go for it guys! Mazel tov!

Angela is able to (magically) pull up actual movement footage of the murder which took place on the gaming stage. It turns out Anne and Noah were going to move in together but Hayes wouldn’t be able to control them so he broke them up. Bones does her thing where she looks at how you stand and declares her the killer. SCIENCE!

What did you think of ‘Bones’ season 10, episode 4?

Two weeks from tonight we get our next episode. Looks like the gang goes to a science convention where Bones is a rockstar and when someone is murdered, Hodgins is a suspect. Hilarity ensues! Have a great week and look for news on episode 5 of Bones later next week!
