Last season’s cliffhanger of Booth not knowing who Bones was, had fans wondering what the next season would bring. What fans got was a thrilling episode that explored Booth trying to gain normalcy, the reciting of three little words Bones-Booth fans have been dying to here, and of course there was a case.
Case Recap Angela’s psychic (played by the incredible Cyndi Lauper) reveals that there are skeletons under a fountain. Angela works her computer regeneration magic on one of the skulls, and discovers that it looks exactly like her psychic. I cringed at this revelation, hoping against hope it wasn’t her twin. Hart Hansen (Bones creator) did not disappoint-it was in fact her sister. See, a while back they joined a cult called the Harbinger of a New Day, which was headed by a guy named Fargood. It was all about creating an underwater utopia for people who suffered from MCS, which basically means their allergic to the world. Sounds very promising.
Investigating a bit further, a physician who used to work for the cult is found. He of course paints himself as an innocent player in this game. When the squints (long lost term for Brennan’s team I just had to bring back) find out that the followers of this cult were being feed anti-freeze, which mimics MCS symptoms and insures Fargood keeps getting funds from his trusting followers. Bones goes to the physician’s workplace to tell him their findings. Booth, in the meantime, is visiting the psychic who leads Booth to believe Bones is in trouble (it’s all in the cards). Bones in fact is getting into a duel with the good doctor and his smaller than small scalpel. It’s amazing how threatening a tiny scalpel can be. Bones gets stab and Booth shoots, with scary accuracy, the bad guy.
Brennan and Booth bring in the leader, Fargood, for questioning and boy is this guy good. He’s the kind of smug criminal that makes you want to smack him a while. Or maybe upend the table, pull his chair to face you and…okay I’ve watch too many cop shows. Concluding the case, Fargood can’t be convicted on the murder charges, not enough evidence, but he is charged with a slew of federal crimes. So basically justice was served, kind of.
Booth and Bones Will these two kids ever get together? Not anytime soon it seems. Coming back from a coma, amnesia and an identity crisis, Booth is just trying to get things back to normal. From the start of the episode, we can see that he is just a bit different, notably his missing cocky belt buckle and multi-colored striped socks. He has simply forgotten this part of himself, but the one thing he has discovered is that he is in love with Bones. He tells Cam and even Sweets finds out, but they both warn him not to reveal it to Bones, if he is not truly sure this is the real him loving her. It might ruin her forever. Well, in spite of that he says the three words that fans have been waiting four seasons to hear, he tells Bones he loves her. Of course, it can’t be that easy. His doubts get the best of him and he says that he loves her professionally. Ugh. The only upside of this disappointment is when the psychic tells Booth it all works out eventually. Yeah! At least Hart is continuing with the lovely relationship that he has built in Bones and Booth.
All in all, this was a great premiere. Hart really knows what the heart of the show is-Bones and Booth. Their partnership, love, and care for each other. What makes them perfect is that their each others ying and yang. Bones is the rationally one who as a reverence for human life and Booth is all instinct and heart. This is why we watch. This is why we come back week after week.
