Bones, first
premiering in September 13, 2005, is a crime comedy drama show, which explores
a different FBI case each episode, created by the current producer, Hart Hanson . The shows two main stars Emily Deschanel who plays Dr. Temperance Brennan, an anthropologist, also nicknamed
“Bones” and David Boreanaz who plays FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth. These two
have an ongoing dispute between science and faith. Which leads to the greater
question can you believe in both science and faith without contradicting
yourself?
The
episode begins when FBI Agent Booth, is drinking and confessing to an old
friend/ former priest/bartender about his love for Doctor Temperance Brennan,
these two have been in love or lust from the beginning of the show. Booth
confines in his friend about how he cannot marry Brennan or “Bones” as he calls
her because he has received threats from a psychopathic killer, in which he
cannot track down, that if he does marry her he will kill five innocent people.
The following morning Booth walks into his office, with a slight hangover, (could he be drinking away his pain?) only to be called out to a murder at the Lightfoot Hotel. Shortly after he arrives he is badgered by a local college, Camille( played by Tamara Taylor), about his recent accept and reject of a marriage proposal by Bones. A quick knowing glance is exchanged between Bones and Booth, creating a feeling of mistrust, if only he could tell her the truth.
After Bones colleague Jack Hodgins
(played by T. J. Thyne), discovers a serial number on the victim’s fake ear,
revealing the victim to be Jonas Sidell (who works at the State Department),
Booth and Bones go and investigate the victim’s apartment where Bones suggest
that Booth start working with one of his colleagues Dr. Lance Sweets ( played
by John Francis Daley), instead of her using the excuse that he would be able
to provide him more impute than she could. When she gets back to the lab, a
fellow coworker Daisy Wick (played by Carla Gallo whom was added in Season 4)
and Bones together reassemble the skull of the victim, which shows trauma to
the temples, and explains the blood splatter in the hotel room. Angela (played
by Michaela Conlin) who is a colleague/friend of Bones who is able to use laundry detergent
instead of ink to determine the last photo printed out of Sidell’s printer,
which reveals a man and a women in bed at the Lightfoot.
Booth and Dr. Lance Sweets, a psychologist (played by John Francis Daley) go to speak to fellow
coworkers of Sidells at the State Department, including his boss Ted Norman.
Angela discovered that an unknown individual, had texted Sidells number 22
times the day he was murdered. When she called the number, Lily Thorn, a
receptionist answers; Booth takes her in for questioning, only to release her
without evidence to hold her.
When Booth and Sweets go back to Sidell’s
apartment they have found it to be completely cleaned. They find an intruder,
who after knocking Sweets to the ground and going on around about chase with
Booth, is discovered to be an old Army buddy of Booth, Danny Beck who is now a
part of the CIA. Afterwards, Booth and
Bones have a late lunch and discuss their daughter, Christine.
Daisy discovers a band aid wound
which is found to be caused by the briefcase of Lily Thorns mother who thought
she was an escort for Sidell, but she admits to hitting him yet denies killing
him. Back in the lab, Hodgins discovers that the murder weapon is a strong, but
flexible rod. Bones and him go back to reexamine Sidell’s boss.
Norman immediately confesses to
killing Sidell, claiming he was protecting Lily from blackmail. When he
confronted Sidell, he lost control of his anger and ended up killing him. When
the episode ends Booth and Bones are happy together again, which means their
enemy is not. But can a common enemy
really ruin true love? I don’t think so.
