    I loved this episode because we explored Cam's past. i also think the women on bones really want children. they really want children a lot. it is amazing how much they want it. i think bones and booth will get together by the end of the season. i sure hope so!! my finger are really crossed. they are so cute together. that being said i think they have waited long enough and they will get together by the end of season four. they will break up also then get together again. i also think that Angela is a little wired. thank you for the bones support!! i love you all!!moreless

    In this episode of Bones, the following happens. Bones and Booth investigate when human remains are found at a safari park. Soon the victim is IDed and we learn that he was in fact, Cam former fianc. We also see that Angela has taken on Sweets advice and is trying to remain celebate. We soon learn that the victim had a daughter, Michelle who is 16 years old. Since Cam raised her for 2 years, but hasn't seen her in 10 years, she asks if she can tell her about her father's death. Cam tells Michele, and is also hurt that she doesn't remember Cam at all. Michelle is of course devastated by the news of her father's death. Soon Cam goes back to see Michelle and she admits that she remembers Cam and her leaving. We soon learn that the reason Cam and the victim split up, was because he was still seeing other women and Cam found out. Soon they find the murder weapon, and also learn of a suspect, who was having an affair with the victim. But hr alibi rules her out. When looking through photos from the night of the murder, we learn that one of the nurses from the hospital, he worked at, killed him. As they got o question her, she confesses and is arrested. We then see Cam going to see Michelle, to tell her that they caught the person who killed her father. Cam offers her to go and live with her, and pulls out an old salt shaker. Michelle then runs off and Cam prepares to leave. Michelle then returns with the other half of the shaker, in her hand. She kept it for all of these years. Michelle goes to her and they hug.moreless

  • A fantastic Camille episode.

    It's really the first time an episode has been dedicated to Cam and it's a great one.

    One thing about Weldon stands out he rejected Richard from the residency program. It would have been a smart political move to admit the boy, his mother's a big contributor. The mother's attitude makes it clear she expects Richard to be admitted because of her influence rather than his being deserving of it. Means Weldon went on merit.

    I feel for Michelle. Cam really hurt her when she left. Michelle must be feeling really alone first her mother dies, Cam leaves and now her father dies. A child doesn't forget her mother, especially at the very impressionable age of 4-6 years old. Made me cry.

    The hypnosis session was very cool and funny, Angela to the giraffe, "Dude, you're blocking my light."

    Angela's behaviour is disgraceful, her comments to Clark are blatant sexual harassment. He could sue her and he's win! Liked Clark's girlfriend, I did know about the Victorian cure for 'anxiety'.

    A wonderful episode, very touching.moreless

    I was really positively surprised by this episode. First it was concentrating on Cam - you will not see that very often and they really had heartbreaking, emotional and tearjerking episode - for long I haven't seen that kind of combination from Bones.

    So, I think it was different than usual episode and not all liked it, but I did - I am not big Cam fan.. I think on the other far end rather, but this episode really worked.. the developments on her char, those conversations, pain, her ideas.. it was well portrayed and beautifully worked out. Some part of the episode were little too easily guessable but not the ending - I mean who killed that doctor.. the thing with girl running away was..moreless

    First of all, any show that makes me cry is an automatic 10/10. :) When the murder victim turns out to be Cam's former fianc, she takes a personal interest in the case and Booth asks Brennan to take a Back seat and stay in the lab for this one because Cam "needs this one." Cam insists on telling the dead man's daughter Michelle of his death because of the deep love they had for each other during the two years Cam and her dad lived together. Although Michelle was only six at the time, Cam is sure that she will remember her.

    When Cam arrives to tell Michelle that her dad has been murdered, she says she doesn't remember her at all, which deeply hurts Cam, who has never stopped loving Michelle as if she were her own child. As the show unfolds, it turns out that Michelle very much remembers Cam and has never forgiven her for betraying them by leaving. What she doesn't know is that Cam left because of his philandering, which he refused to stop.

    After the case is (all too predictably) solved, Cam reaches out to Michelle, tells her the truth about her dad and asks Michelle to come live with her. The conclusion is one of the most moving moments of the show and while it's not a B&B moment, it is very special and shows that when two people have a heart connection and truly love each other, that love never goes away.moreless

    • Hodgins: I found traces of uric acid on the victim's clothing. It was the pheromones you found pleasing. Angela: Yeah, yeah. Uh, the pheromones in tiger urine? Hodgins: Well, I assume it's tiger urine. While mammals do produce uric acid, it isn't something they excrete in their urine -- that would be urea. Reptiles and amphibians excrete uric acid in their waste, in a solid form. Edit
    • Goof: The piece of the salt and pepper shaker set Cam has in the lab is not the same one she shows Michelle while in her house. But when Michelle runs upstairs to get her piece, Cam once again has the piece she had in the lab. Edit
    • Booth: (sneaking up behind Brennan to scare her) Snakes! Dr. Brennan was first shown to have a fear of snakes in the 5th episode of season 3: "Mummy in the Maze." Edit

    • This episode was originally scheduled to air one week earlier, but a press conference by President Obama was scheduled for Tuesday, March 24th at 8:00 p.m. This caused American Idol to be pre-empted, moving the two-hour performance show to Wednesday (one day later) and the one-hour results show to Thursday at 8:00 p.m (also one day later). This resulted in the week's episode of Bones being moved to one week later. Edit
