  • Angela and Hodgins' wedding is as unusual as their entire relationship.

    9.5
    "Superb"
    Brennan's father just walks into the Jeffersonian and the answer becomes clear: he's created a new identity that stands up to scrutiny, to actually arrest him, Booth has to prove he's really Max Keenan. This doesn't make huge sense to me – all those times they were hunting Max, the times when Brennan called in his location, the FBI didn't even know what he looked like?! If they'd shown up, would he have walked then too?



    How is Booth going to explain that he beat up Max before he arrested him?! Brennan's mother's tape was disappointing, thought it would be some big reveal, instead just the typical mother stuff.



    Chelsey's mother may have killed her out of misguided mercy and her agony when she realized she'd killed her child unnecessarily. Though she was wrong, what she did is certainly understandable.



    The wedding is certainly unorthodox – from the music to Angela's dress (I liked the hood as opposed to the usual veil). Liked the service, as far as it got. Hodgins took the news about Angela's marriage very well, he's very understanding, very sweet that they 'ran off together'.



    Cool episode.
  • A really great end to a fantastic season! love the irony, the emotion and some wonderful, memorable quotes!

    Really loved this season finale. The case is a good one, little girl who has a mental health aging disease, mother gives her an overdose with her own aids medcine, is the basica gist but its more about the characters! Angela and Jack get to the alter, but do they marry?

    Booth and Brennan seem to be taking the lime light at the altar!! a great comparsion on how open Brennan has become when compared to the seasons opening episode.

    The video of Brennans up is also very emotive, and very beliebable acting by Emily Deschanel. I love the Max Kennan storyline and how he will be arrested and go to jail just to be by his daughter! and i cannot wait for season 3 and the surprizes and development it may bring!!?
  • Wow! I may have not started watching this show in the beginning, but I love it so much now! It's just so great.

    This episode is now one of my favorites of this series. Along with the Christmas episode where Booth and Bones kiss! It had a bunch of great Booth and Bones moments, Bones hugging and giving Booth a kiss and of course the very end with them both at the alter. That was my absolute favorite part, I was screaming at the TV saying just do it, but I know better. I've seen season 3 and the start of 4, so I know it doesn't happen,,,yet. But it was a great scene! I always love when Booth and Bones stare at each other like that, there's so much chemistry between the two. I can't believe they're not together yet, I mean come on! They better get together in season 4, I don't think I can take much more of this waiting! lol And the part where Booth was fighting Bones' dad, ugh I loved it. I love that he cares so much for Bones that he wouldn't seriously hurt her father. And hand to hand combat is a very manly thing, and well…Booth is well you know where I'm going with this. ;) However, I was stuned when he punched Booth in the groin, now that mad me kinda mad. But Booth's face and sentence after was just so funny. I so love Booth and Bones together! Not to mention David, he's just....well…HOT! haha

    In this episode of Bones, the following happens. When a skeleton is found in an abandoned warehouse, Bones and Booth are called in to investigate. They quickly realise that the skeleton belongs to a child. When Booth and Bones are in her office, Max (Bones's father) walks into her office and Booth arrests him straight away. He came as he believed that she was getting married, but eh hear wrong as it is in fact Angela who is getting married. When Booth gets Max back to the FBI offices, he has to release him as there is no record of him, as the bank robber he used to be. Angela asks Bones to be her maid of honour and Bones hugs her and accepts. We see Bones that night with her father in her apartment. She offers him to stay the night, and we learn that she has made up the guest room for him, in case he wanted to stay. We soon learn that the victim had an ageing condition, and she was just 22 years old. Hodgins asks Zach to be his best man, and ac tells him that he needs to think about it. When they speak to the victim mother, she gives them the name of a man she believed abused her daughter. When they question him, he admits to bathing her, when she got sticky, and that Chelsea (the victim) even confirmed his story, but her mother wouldn't believe either of them that nothing happened. When Hodgins asks Zach what his answer is, Zach hands him a letter from the White House stating that he is to go to Iraq. Hodgins tells him that he can't go, and Zach tells him to ask Booth to be his best man. So Hodgins phones Booth to be his best man, and he accepts. They soon believe that her mother killed her. Hodgins goes to see Angela's father, and asks him for his permission to marry her. He tells Hodgins that he has guns and if he doesn't treat Angela right, then he may be seeing his guns. After running DNA on Max, Booth finally gets the evidence needed to arrest him. When he gets there, they fight. We then see Bones at her apartment watching a video tape of her mother, which she made for her not long after they vanished. She explains why they left her and Russ behind, during which Bones starts to cry. When Bones goes to see the mother, she admits to killing her daughter, as she herself is dying and that no foster family would take her, due to her condition and her age. She then learns that the new drugs she was on started to work. We then jump to Saturday, the day of the wedding. Booth tells Bones the true about her father's arrest during which they hug. As the wedding beings a man enters, and he needs to speak to Angela and Jack before the wedding and so they leave with him. Zach hands Booth his letter from the White House and asks him to read it and explain it to everyone later on. We learn that Angela is already married.

    And so they walk back into the church, tell everyone thanks for coming please go to the reception and then they leave. We end with Bones asking what do we do now, and her and Booth standing at the altar, with the priest smiling.

    This was probably one of the best season finales I ever watched! I loved everything about it.

    I loved when they were on the crime scene and Brennan is telling Booth about Angela and he says that joke and she jokes back. I love how shocked he gets. I thought it was very cute when he is reading the stone and says "I love you" looking straight into her eyes. I know it didn't mean anything but it was rather sweet.

    The whole interaction between Brennan and Max was awesome too. The video Christine left truly brought me to tears, it was so touching!

    Zach telling Jack and then Booth about Iraq touched me too, I now know he is okay, but I'd be so worried if I didn't know!

    The "tongue-kiss the Maid of Honor" part was excellent too, I thought Booth was going to crash the SUV!

    And then, the wedding. Or should I say, the almost wedding! =D It was so cool, Booth calling Brennan across the aisle and then the hug and Angela's "I'm trying to get married". I think it was awesome, although I feel bad for Ange and Jack not getting married.

    And of course, the ending, that great "What do we do now?" cliffhanger...I think this was a perfect episode, the kind that gets you hooked on a show, if you weren't already.



    bye ;)

    A really good season finale for a really good season. I really enjoyed the second season of Bones and I must say that its season finale was really great.



    The main focus was on Hodgins and Angela's wedding. They had everything prepared for a special day but in the end they couldn't get married cos Angela was already married, not that it did any difference for them, cos they are still together.



    Meanwhile Booth arrested Bones' father. Her father didn't offer any true resistance because in his opinion if he escaped from custody he would abandon his daughter again and he doesn't want. Before his arrest he gave Bones a video from her mother. Bones looked very emotional seeing the video, and also he gave her a ring from her mother's side of the family, which she gladly wore.

    This was a wicked good episode...not just and episode a wicked good season finale. It was sad when they found out that the mother was the one that killed her child who had the mental problems. I mean you don't have to kill your kid you can just get help for her...bring her to a hospital or something of that sort...just don't kill her. Then at the wedding when they found out that Angela was already married. It was the middle of the wedding or actually the beginning but same difference. You think they would have told them before the wedding and not waited till that day. ooo...well they ran away together. I hope they'll be in the next season. What do you think...did Booth and Bones just say the heck with it and marry each other?? I hope so. At least they should've cause their definitely meant to be together...I've noticed that since the first episode of the first season. Can't wait for the 3 season!! I'm sooo excited!!!

    The case was straight to the point, which I liked because it was more time for Brennan and her dad, as well as Hodgins and Angela. The video from Brennan's mom was so sweet, and then seeing how it related to the case was really sad. I hate that Zach is thinking about leaving for Iraq! I like thier little experiment though, Sea Chimps and Spam! The twist at the end was awesome, and I love how Brennan says that little, "What do we do now?". And I love B&B's little hug at the alter! They've got quite a little cliffhanger going...I can't wait for the next one!

  • What a Season Finale has to be...

    "Perfect"
    What an amazing season finale. The case was very well plotted, with a very delicate condition to talk about. Poor woman. I dont have any children, but I can understand her desperation for being there for her sick child the rest

    of her life. Her last conversation with Brennan was shocking

    for me. And how touched Brennan was after watching her mother´s video. I loved Brennan in this ep. For all those people who have told me she´s cold and rare, there you go. This is why she is the way she is. But the good thing is that she´s changed for the better because she cares for her friends. This is why I like this show. The characters evolve with time, at a very reasonable pace. They learn from the others.



    All the weddings scenes were great. When Brennan was coming downstairs with the bow on her chest was funny. I liked it when Cam, after fixing the dress says "Booth?" and he looks

    at Bones with his charm smile and says it´s great. Now Zack,

    it was sad he´s leaving, and finally we see Booth having

    a little empathy for the kid. Hodgins´ comment about Booth

    making out with the bridesmaid was very good and Booth´s reaction is even better.



    Booth & Brennan... I loved their chemistry, their care, their understanding in this episode. Booth was so focused on not hurting Brennan when he was arresting her father. The scene at the diner was also great. "You´re not a bad anything"... But the one stuck in my mind is the last. Brennan thanking Booth for his words in that hug that means so much to both. Booth´s look and touch is amazing.



    I can´t wait for the next season. LG

    Okay this was an incredible episode. I really liked the aging disorder the victim had it made the show more interesting. I loved when Angela said that art made science her b*tch!! That was just way too funny!



    I really wanted to smack Zack though throughout the entire episode! Hodgins asked him to be his best man and he turned him down and he was seriously considering going to Iraq! I hope Zack doesn't go to Iraq!!! I wanted to hit him for actually thinking that the president actually signed the letter too.



    Angela asking Brennan to be her Maid of Honor was so touching I absolutely loved Brennan just hugging her. It was nice to see more of their friendship in this one because I always enjoy seeing that!



    I loved Brennan's father coming back into the picture. It was so cute to see Tempe telling Booth that she thought she loved her dad. It was so sweet to see that. I loved how he gave her that ring and the video tape too! It was beautiful to see how hard Booth was trying to arrest him for killing the Deputy Director of the FBI and how he didn't wanna hurt Bones at the same time. I loved the fight Max and Booth had too it was so funny!



    I loved when Hodgins called Booth to be his best man and Hodgins told him to tongue kiss the Maid of Honor! It was so funny to see the look on Booth's face after Brennan told him she was the Maid of Honor!



    This was a really cute episode of Bones I loved that the case got out of the way so they could have Hodgins and Angela get married even though Angela was still married to the Fiji guy! I loved that, that actually came back into play from last season. I just hope that Zack doesn't go to Iraq!!
  • Un gran final de temporada; un caso muy emotivo, una boda, la noticia de una partida inesperada, una más esperada detención y… continuará!! Ojo!! Spoilers in here!!

    Un gran final de temporada; un caso muy emotivo, una boda, la noticia de una partida inesperada, una más esperada detención y… continuará!!



    Todo comienza con la aparición del cadáver de una joven de 22 años que sufre de una enfermedad por la cual su edad mental es de una niña y su apariencia y huesos los de una anciana. Tras la investigación habitual, Brennan y Booth descubren que fue su propia madre, enferma de VIH, la que mató a su hija al inocularle sus medicamentos por miedo a que ella pudiera morir antes que su hija, dejándola sola a su suerte, ya que las autoridades no le habían dado ninguna solución.



    Mientras tanto, Ángela y Hodgins están centrados en la planificación de su boda y piden a Brennan y Zack que sean su Dama de Honor y Padrino, respectivamente. Y aquí es donde aparece la primera sorpresa… Zack rechazará el ofrecimiento de Hodgins y le enseña una carta que ha recibido de la casa Blanca, en la que se solicita su presencia como antropólogo en Irak. Él no lo duda y rechaza la oferta de Hodgins indicándole que no quiere que recuerde su boda como un día fatal en caso de que le maten en Irak. Personalmente creo que es un paso acertado para con el personaje de Zack, que se estaba quedando estancado mientras todos los demás evolucionan de una u otra manera… Así, Hodgins pide a Booth que sea su padrino de boda y éste acepta.



    Por otro lado, reaparece el padre de Brennan para entregarle un anillo que había pertenecido a la familia de su madre durante varias generaciones y, además, una cinta de vídeo que su madre grabó en su 16 cumpleaños explicándole por qué se habían ido y les habían abandonado a Brennan y a su hermano, donde le pedía que perdonase a su padre porque la idea de abandonarles fue de ella y no de él.

    Evidentemente, esta reaparición da pie a Booth para reabrir la persecución de Max Keenan y detener al padre de Bones, aunque primero tendrá que demostrar que es él realmente, ya que Max ha borrado muy bien sus huellas. Finalmente, y tras sopesar los pros y contras de detener al padre de su compañera, Max se entrega con la explicación de que no quiere volver a abandonar a su hija, pero que no se va a entregar por las buenas y que Booth debe pelear con él.



    Una vez en la boda de Ángela y Hodgins, Booth pide perdón a Bones por haber detenido a su padre y le explica que se entregó porque no quería abandonarla otra vez… y es aquí donde se produce un gran momento: delante del altar, Bones abraza emocionada a Booth y le da las gracias por habérselo dicho. En ese momento llega Ángela del brazo de su padre y les indica que desea casarse…



    Cuando parecía que la cosa iba a acabar con final feliz… llega un empleado del Departamento de Estado e indica que la boda no puede continuar porque Ángela ya está casada (cosa que conocíamos de un capítulo anterior) y que aquella boda es legítima. Carolina (la fiscal amiga del equipo) les dice que huyan y así lo hacen, dejando a los invitados en la iglesia e indicándoles que disfruten del banquete, mientras Booth y Bones están ante el altar preguntándose qué hacer ahora…



    Deseando estoy de que llegue la tercera temporada para saber qué habrán hecho Ángela y Hodgins tras su no-boda, qué le daparará el furuto a Zack en Irak y cómo evolucionará la relación entre Bones y Booth y entre ésta y su padre tras su detención… No puedo esperar!!

    OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!! Perfect, wonderful, absolutely macigcal!!! Hodgins and Angelas marrige was so cute. And when that man can in and said "I'll have too talk to you" I just knew that that this was the thing that "doesn't go as planned". And after *screaming" then booth was like "what do we do now?" and the priest was looking at B&B and Booth was smiling at Bones and Bones was smiling back at him. And the entire church weas like looking at the because they had been hugging each other before and were like standing close too each other in the position that normaly the bride and groom stand in. OMG! What if they get married!!!! *more screaming* That would bee totally awsome! I mean they haven't even kissed each other. But probably noting will happen it will just be another moment. But of course that what everyone exepts so mabye they will do it just because no one expects it. At least I hope they get into bed whit each other. I so have the perfect begining you brennan sleeping in her bed and then the camer zooms out and you see Booth behind her holding his arm aginst her. And then I have two scenarios 1; Booth wakes up and kisses Bones so she wakes up or 2; a cellphone rings and they got a case they dress and kiss each other before leaving. Well wouldn't what bee someting? I feel so sad for Zach having to go to Iraq. Poor littel feela, he is so not ready for that. I'm going to miss him and his geeky prefomances and he trying too be "human". I think sadly enough that they will be angry at Booth when he tells the others that Zach has left. From one thing to and other does anyone know when season 3 will come? In that case pleas send me an e-mail and tell me. Amanda

    When the episode started, I knew that Angela and Hodgins were to get married, but there was a twist. *Spoiler*

    So, when it came to the ending, I nearly screamed! A part of me was irritated that the two didn't tie the knot! But when they both told the guests at the wedding that there were changes, and then they both ran, I was like "Wow..."



    When Brennen was watching that video, I nearly cried! It was so sad, and then Booth caught Max Keenen, after a fight between them, and poor brennen and booth. Booth felt bad. Part of him wanted Max to escape.
  • Fantastic finish to a great season

    You cant say anything bad about this episode at all. It presses every emotion button in your body. One minute you are laughing the next you are holding back the tears. There are so many moments in this episode that you learn more about every individual character. The story line is fantastic. It brings a conclusion that everyone wanted. Even tho all fans of bones will now be on suspense to find out what happens next I think everyone will agree with me if left it on a perfect cliff hanger. My favourite moment out of this whole episode is when Zack tells booth he knows more about duty and honour than anyone else he knows. It is a touching moment for both characters as they have never been very close.
  • Ahh...it was all happy and sad at the same time!!!!

    "Perfect"
    Bless!!!

    This was the cutest episode we have had in ages!!!! My favourite moments:Angela asking Bones to be her maid of honour, Brennan watching the tape with her mum on it, and that cute little moment at the end where Booth and Brennan are standing at the altar with the minister. Imagine if they did tie the knot!?? It'd be totally weird!!

    The story about the victim and her mum was really sad though. As pissed off as I was with the mum for killing a sick girl, I could kinda understand why she did it; she was really ill herself and she knew that nobody else could look after her daughter.

    I still cried like a baby when Brennan collected up all the pictures though.

    The not-a-wedding was brilliant, I just knew that the whole fiji thing would come back and bite Angela in the ass!!!

    Brilliant ep, can't wait for next season!!!
  • Bones and Booth get another case and solve it as usual. Angela and Hodgins get married...almost. Zach is called to Iraq. The smell of the end of season 2 is in the air.

    "Perfect"
    I really enjoyed this episode. It SORT OF has a cliffhanger but only with Zach, Angela, and Hodgins. That's acceptable. The chemistry between everyone is undeniable. I've never seen a show with such great chemistry between the cast since the Tenth Doctor and Rose. The little "mystery" of the week was really fascinating. I remember eating nachos during this episode and spitting them out when Angela showed the picture of the victim. Booth and Brennan at the alter. Classic, classic. I hope they didn't get married...that would be jumping the shark. I don't think they did. I think the whole, "What do we do now?" was for comic relief...I think. Anyway, I don't want Zach to go but they have been underusing him lately. Hmmm...I hope he stays. I like him, he's funny and shows that Brennan isn't as socially retarded as Zach. Overall, great great Bones episode. I can't wait for season three! =]
  • the perfect ending to a series finale.

    i love this episode especialy because it was a series finale. in this episode brennan and booth find a child but angela draws her as an old person and it is eventually revield that she has an ageing condition but the tear jerker in this episode was definetly when we found out that zack was issued to go to iraq and it is very clear that when hodgins finds out that zack is his friend because he always goes on at him and says mean things to him but he doesn't mean them.

    At the ending of the episode we see angela walking down the isle but before she could finish bones and booth were having a heart to heart about bones father then again they get interupted when sum 1 from the fbi comes in and tell them they can't get married because angela is already married so at the end the end up walking back in and telling everyone there not getting married and then they run off together.

    then bones asks booth what they do now and they smile and look at the vicar and it finish's.

    if you ask me that was the perfect ending with not a HUGE cliffhanger like most shows have but a nice one to put you to rest untill next season.

    I thought this was the best episode to date.... I was really glad when angie said yes to hodgins!!! it really was the best way to end the season with them running away. This episode showed us alot about Brennans past aswell. and the fight between Brennans father and Booth was brilliant. The ending really makes you think that there finally going to get together. I loved this episode. Can any one tell me when this season is going to be out on DVD??
  • This was quite possibly the best episode of Bones so far! ****SPOILERS AHEAD****

    What a Finale!!!





    I Loved the wedding, I loved the case, I loved the cast, I loved everything about it.



    The Episode starts with Bones and Booth investigating a body found in the sewers (Appears to be an elderly lady), then Angela askes Bones to be Maid of Honour to which Bones accepts with a surprising amount of emotion. Hodgkins asks Zack to be best man but Zack passes him a letter from the President asking him to go to Iraq and explains that he is going to go so he can't be Best Man. So, Hogkins asks Booth - who excepts the offer.



    It is discoved that the bones of the victim were actually of a young girl who had an aging disorder and that it was the Mother who killed her believing that it was kinder than letting her suffer.



    At the wedding, Angela looks absolutely beautiful in her dress but, the ceromy is halted when some official arrives and tells Angela she isn't divorced from her last marriage in Fiji. Hodgkins is shocked but agrees to postpone the wedding anyway. The almost happy couple then tell everyone that the wedding is temporarily off but that they should still go to the receptionand have a good time leaving Bones and Booth at the alter looking very uncomfortable at what just happened.



    Then, episode ends.



    This was a very emotional episode, the scene where the Mother of the young girl confesses was brilliantly handled and even managed to make me feel sympathetic towards her for waht she went through even though what she did was wrong. The Wedding was brilliant from Angela's reaction to finding out that she was Married even though she "jumped over a broom a couple of times" to the look on Booths face as she asks "What do we do now"



    Classic Episode of a Classic Series.

    I thought that this episode was absolutely fantastic. There was a really interesting case. We got character development and an almost wedding. Zack

    's whole thing with and Irag and throw in billy gibbons nad you have one H*ll of an episode that you won't be forgeting for a very very long time. There was really great dialogue, and some great BB scenes. That ending jsut about killed, jsut like the directors know that it would! I don't know if I can wait until Fall, living only on my season 1 DVDs. BTW. This is sort of off topic, but has anyone else looked at the Fox upfronts? Why are they moving Bones around so much? They just basically gave it the kiss of death by putting it on Firday nights. No FOX show can last of Friday nights!! This can't be the last season! It just can't!
  • When this series started we had stories about a forensic anthropologist solving crimes using evidence supplied by skeletal remains. The past three of four episodes have been stories almost exclusively dealing with the love lives of the characters.

    5.0
    "Mediocre"
    The crime fighting in the Season has been relegated to such an extent that it seems that the writers, and thus the audience, couldn't really care less about the victims nor the criminals.



    Doesn't anyone else get worried that in each episode we have five members of the Jeffersonian Institution spending all their time on solving the 'crime of the week' and only one member of the FBI! Don't the squints ever have any other work to do?



    It now seems that the Angela/Hodgins has taken centre stage; with Tempe/Seeley second, closely followed by Brennan and her father. The 'crime of the week' following along some long way behind, almost as a afterthought. Now many of the arcs do have some merit - except Brennan and her father, the plot is too convoluted and contrived with Ryan O'Neill demonstrating that he couldn't act his way out of a paper bag - but they shouldn't be the main thrust of the series.



    It is hoped that when Season 3 comes we will have some real crime-solving done and the love lives of the characters, lovely as they all are, don't impinge too much on the episodes.
  • You know what? I simply enjoyed that.

    Bones has grown a lot through her friendship with Booth. From someone who didn't even seem to know the word empathy, now she's becomes someone who can. all on her own, realize when a Mother is committing a mercy killing rather then a selfishly motivated murder, because of the similarities to her own life. Total emotional growth.



    Is Zack going to be off the show next year? I can't say I'm sorry. Last year, he was one of my favorite characters. This year, it's like they don't know what to do with him. While Bones grows as a person, Zack seems to regress, and this episode is the first time in a long time he's actually seemed interesting to me as a person. If he does come back, I hope whatever he sees in Iraq helps him change as a person and be more human.



    The wedding was excellent! I loved everything, from the wedding song, to Angela's middle name, to bringing her marriage back up, to them running off! I LOVED Bones needing Cam's help with the dress, and the way Bones and Booth looked at the minister. I adore these characters and can't wait to see them again next year.
  • A great episode to finish off an absolutely brilliant season.

    The storyline where Bones and Booth find a decomposed skeleton of a young girl who had an aging disease, trying to track down the killer who later was revealed to be her mother was a detraction from the main storyline, the love and family of both Brennan’s mother and father added to Angela’s and Hodge’s non existent wedding.



    We now have to wait until the 3rd season to find out what happened after the wedding, has Bones finally forgiven her father, will Zack go to Iraq, and what will become of Booth’s and Brennan’s platonic relationship.



    Personally I don’t think we’ve had bad episode and this season finale didn’t let us down, we had a full arrange of emotions and some nice little teasers for season 3.

    So I really liked this episode. Fun cliff hanger of the wedding not really being a wedding and Bones and Booth standing there. I am sure that nothing happened, but still, it was a good way to send. And a few sad cliff hangers of Bones’s father being arrested and Zack possibly leaving for Iraq. So I was a bit surprised when they actually shows Bones shed a tear when talking to the mom. I get that it was a personal thing, but usually she keeps work and personal life so separate. And ZZ Top, nice cameo and nice advise. Just like you want in a dad.
  • I just loved it!

    Boo-hoo!! season finale, and everybody expects an intense episode with a *fans go crazy* cliff hanger at the end, how about that? Bones chose to go on a totally different way.

    This season´s finale was great! With no cliff hanger at the end, the writers innovated making it a light episode, with fun, love, drama, revelations.. what I mean is, it was such a nice finale to watch.

    Seing Temperance discover things about her parents, getting close with her father..Angela and Hodgin´s wedding was hilarious! Angies father totally different and cool. Booth and Max fighting was fun!

    What I didn´t understand was.. why send Zack to Iraq? Oo



    Favorite quotes:

    -> Billy: Hodgins, I got cars, guitars, and guns. You treat my daughter right you'll only see the business end of my cars and guitars.

    -> Bones: I'd like to marry you.

    Booth: It's kinda sudden Bones, let me think about it.

    Bones: No, Booth, that's what Angela told Hodgins. You're joking, you know, a lot of psychologists say that jokes are the way we manifest our hidden desires. >> Booth/Brennan! S2 gotta love them!



    Can´t wait ´till next season! ^^
  • Bones second season finale had everything. It was emotional, exciting, funny, and left you wanting more.

    Once again Max Keenan, Brennan father is in town and has some things to give to his daughter. He gives her a ring that was passed down throughout her mothers family and a video her mother recorded for her before she died explaining why she and Brennan’s father left. This leaves Brennan confused about her feelings towards her father. Booth being who he is cannot just look the other way and after much research was able to get enough information to arrest Brennan’s father. How will things turn out between Booth and Brennan now that Booth has arrest Brennan’s father? Will there be hard feelings? Will Brennan understand?



    Then it’s onto wedding preparations. Angela asks Brennan to be her maid of honor but the shocker is Brennan is really honored to be asked and is more than willing to stand next to Angela at the alter. Hodgins asks Zack to be his best man but Zack asks Hodgins when he needs an answer, which surprises Hodgins. After being asked a second time Zack declines the offer because he was asked by the President of the United States to go to Iraq and he is worried if he dies while in Iraq Hodgins would be sad when he thinks of his wedding day. After Zack refuses to be his best man Hodgins asks Booth to be his best man and Booth immediately accepts. How will thing turn out with Zack? Will he go to Iraq? Will he come back?



    Finally it’s time for the wedding or not. We get to Angela’s father again played by Billy Gibbons as he walks her down aisle to the song “Gimme All Your Lovin” and then leaves for a show. As Angela is walking down the aisle Booth is telling Brennan how when he arrested her father he could have gotten away but didn’t because he didn’t want to leave her again. We learn Angela’s middle name which is “Pearly Gates” this is a rather funny middle name but not totally surprising. Then in the middle of the wedding it is stopped because Angela cannot get married because she is already married. Angela and Hodgins run out telling their guest that there will be no wedding and to enjoy the reception anyway, leaving Booth and Brennan at the alter having no idea what to do. How will Hodgins and Angela be able to get married now? Will Angela be able to get a divorce from her husband? What will Booth and Brennan do now that they are left with all those people who came expecting a wedding?



    I could not think of a better way to end the second season then with fathers and daughters reuniting, the possibility of a friend going to Iraq, and an almost wedding.
  • The squints team up to solve the case of a an elderly young kid (and that's NOT a typo) in time to get to Hodgins and Angela's wedding. Zach gets a request from the president, and Bones' dad returns with a message from her mom from the grave.

    Overall, this was an entertaining episode, though I don't think it lived up to the hype for a season finale. The murder case was well thought out, and interesting and unique, and played well against the backdrop of the impending nuptials between Hodgins and Angela. Bones has several emotional events which show that she may be coming out of her shell. First, she is deeply moved by Angela's request to be her maid of honor. Second, she cries while viewing the videotape her mom left for her, and third she hugs Booth when he tells her about her father getting arrested rather than abandon her again. This all leads up to the big wedding, which had me hoping to see Booth and Bones become closer, or leave the reception together or SOMETHING. Instead, we get some looks exchanged in front of the minister after Hodgins and Angela bolt, so now I don't know what to think. So I think Booth and Bones will get closer next season, and just when it looks like they are really going to connect, Sully will show up. At that point, I hope Booth shoots him. Overall, entertaining, but not as good as the finale last year.

    what an awesome season finale. every little part is worthy of being commented on. therefore, i will :P



    loved how booth said he was agile hahaha. then he goes and steps in a really deep puddle. and even though we saw it in the trailer, that "kinda sudden bones" part was soo funny.



    did that little kiss from hodgins mean that he wants angela to change her name? angela hodgins? that sounds really, really wrong. but hey, whatever.



    that whole interaction between booth brennan and her dad was pretty funny. but why did he hear that Brennan was the noe getting married and not "the bug guy"? thats weird. angela reaction was priceless. she was so clueless :P



    even though Booth was usuing that "you abandoned her as a child" line to intimidate her father, he really does care so much about her. if you look really closely beyond the smirk he has on, there's pain for his partner.



    hahahahahahaha i love that whole "art made science her b*tch part. classic.



    brennan really is begining to accept her father. he was so thrilled just to have the couch, i thought he was going to fall over when she said she made up the guest bed.



    I CANT BELEIVE that zach said no to hodgins. but hey, Booth is soo much cooler, and he makes a better best man. so poo you, dr addy.



    brennan was so upset when her dad told her that she has 3 aunts and a bunch of other relatives. i would be pissed too. hahaha i love that when hodgins asked Booth to "stand up for him" booths reply was "against who?" that wicked funny hhaha. the look on Booth's face when he found out who the maid of honor was. oohhh baby. loved it. for some reason, that whole scene made me think Booth was even hotter, and even better of a guy. the way he asked about a bachelor party was so laid back, and he was totally willing to do it for hodgins. i LOVE seeley booth. but that look on his face, wow. just, wow. ahaha and hodgins didnt know, but he said that most of angela's friends were really hot :P



    the fact that cam forgot she told them to ask permission for expiriments pisses me off. if you're gonna make threats like that, they shouldt be empty, you little twit. (as if she can hear me, right?)



    that "youre not a bad anything" part made me die. i actually spit out my water a little bit :) talk about ana amazing b/b moment. i am officially amazed by angela's dad. zz top :) hahah and poor tj thyne was trying SO gard not to laugh when he had to finish the tune. loving ittt.



    that fight between booth and brennan's dad was so random. but evenly matched. well, Booth looked better while throwing the punches than max did. but i acutally get it. her dad was fighting so it would look like he went down willingly, and booth fought because of all the things maz did to brenna. thar we go, maties.



    that video from her mom was so sweet. i cried, i must admit. one of the many times i had tears streaming down my face during this episode. ya know what was different about the case in this episode, was that the mother actually looked like she felt really, really bad. maybe it was just the actress, or the writing, but it was really good.



    THE WEDDING OMG!!!! okay. woah. so cam is good with fashion who knew. why is it that the bridesmaids never like the dresses? oh well. cam made it look reall good. booth certainly thought so. loved the whol waling down the aisle thing. brennan with booth, and in a twisted way. cam looked good with zach :) and haha i loved how they played a zz top song instead of the wedding song :) the hug!!!! omg that was awesome. their noses were like 1 inch away when they looked at each other. that picture is now my desktop. then they had to go and flee the wedding. and ruin brenna and booths kiss. how DARE angela get married in fiji! wtf???



    best season finale EVER.
