  • Impressive and surprisingly unpredictable!

    "Perfect"
    I'm usually the type of person people get annoyed at. That person that knows everything that's going to happen in a show, and how its going to happen. That includes things people wouldn't ever guess. My mother still refuses to watch tv with me. This episode however, caught me off guard. Brennan's life is on the line when someone's trying to kill her over 1 of two cases she's working on. The question is...which one? And who is trying to kill her? The episode bounces you back and forth (which you should expect) but what I didn't expect was some of the twists and turns and random bonding moments with Booth. The killer is not at all someone you'd expect and the chemistry between Booth and Brennan is amazing this episode. It's where the writers really begin to take the tension to the next level. I gave this episode a 10 not only for its unpredictability but for the level of drama and AMAZING acting by the cast. I'm just now getting into this show and this by far is my favorite episode so far. If you haven't seen it or if you just enjoy seeing Brennan and Booth connect on a greater level this episode is a MUST WATCH.moreless

  • One of the best Bones episodes ever!

    In this episode of Bones, the following happens. We open with Bones chatting to a man who she met on a dating website. Remains are brought into the lab and they believe the victim to be that of a MOB boss. And so they have to try and make an ID to either confirm or deny this.
    Booth then comes in and tells Bones that they have a case to work on. A body has been found which has been tortured and ripped apart by dogs. We soon learn that Booth has seen a case like this before, minus the dogs. When Booth learns about Bones date he is upset with her, as she knows nothing about him. We then see Bones as she waits for her date to arrive. Then a drive by shooting happens and it seems as though Bones herself may be the target. We then see that Bones is ok and she is back at work already, only one short hour after the incident. Booth then turns up at the lab and tells her that her date maybe involved. Booth also tells her that she is not getting out of his sight, until they catch who ever tried to kill her.
    Bones finally gets to meet her date David, and Booth is also there, as he is questioning David. We soon learn that the victim is a girl name Penny who is 19 years old. Booth takes Bones back to her apartment and tells her that he is spending the night on her couch in case anyone tries to get to her again. He then discovers that she does not have a TV and so they diced to rock out to some music, which is really fun to watch. Then when Booth goes to get a drink for himself, as he opens the fridge, it explodes (and makes me jump!). Bones jumps straight into action and puts out the flames which are on booth's body. We then see Booth in hospital. He seems ok, and Bones is sitting next to him. When she looks at his x-rays we learn that in the past, Booth has had his feet beaten, by people in the Middle East. Then one of Booth's FBI friends is brought in to take over looking after Bones, at least until Booth is better or when the person who wants her dead is caught. Soon Booth believes that someone on the inside is working with the killer and so he leaves the hospital with Hodges. We then see Bones in the car with the FBI agent and as she goes to call the lab, he pulls a gun on her. We then see Bones being taken into an abandoned warehouse. And as she enters we see dogs there, and they look ready to eat. Bones tries her best to escape, but is unable too. We then see Bones being tied up and you can see the terror on her face as she knows her fate is sealed. The FBI track down the building and before they go in, Booth says that he is also going in, and tells Hodges that he is also going in. As the FBI raid the building we see the killer getting his knife ready, to use on Bones. As they walk though the best line comes from Hodges "Maybe you shouldn't have had all that pudding".
    Booth then sees Bones's keys on the floor and knows that she is nearby. Just as Bones is about to be killed, Booth walks in and shots the killer in the arm. As he frees her, they hug. Back in the hospital Booth apologises for letting Bones down, but she tells him that he saved her life. We then see her getting a phone call from David, and we see her heading odd to her date. But as she leaves, she changes her mind and decides to stay with Booth in the hospital, and together they watch a film. As she tries to snuggle up with him, she can't because of his injuries. Overall BEST Bones episode so far!moreless

  • One of my favorite Bones episodes of all-time!

    An excellent case and as the case developes the dangers for Brennan and Booth becomes more apparent. Lots of twists and turns and wonderful character interraction between B&B throughout this episode. Everyone worked so hard to help Brennan and Booth out; the squints and FBI alike. Booth being overprotective of Brennan was funny but it also ended up being more trouble for her. The action towards the end is the best part of the episode and one of my favorite scenes in this entire series. Kept me at the edge of my seat the entire time and it still does no matter how many times I watch it. I love it!moreless

    this is my favorite episode so far. what a pair, really!!! i love these guys, they make my laugh (especially when they started singing and dancing to hot blooded- bones was so, so out of rhythm....!)but they are sweet too. booth's devotion to brennan makes me wanna cry, and i know it's stupid, but it just does, ok??? ok, when it comes to the episode itself, i liked the plot, many twists and turns and i really liked the actors (hell, what am i saying, i ALWAYS love the actors!!) "talk about a guilty pleasure"
    and it was kinda moving to find out that booth had done all these things during the war.
    loved it.moreless

    • This episode marks the first time Booth and Brennan hug (on-screen). Edit
    • The movie shown on the television in Booth's hospital room, before he selects The Grapes of Wrath to watch with Bones, is the 1958 version of The Fly, starring David Hedison, Patricia Owens and Vincent Price. Edit
    • Hodgins is not driving an American-made car because the driver's seat is on the right side of the car. He appears to be driving a classic BMC Mark III Mini Cooper from the '70s. Edit
  • Notes

    ADD NOTES
    • During the scene where they danced to Foreigner's "Hot Blooded," both David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel wore earphones. However, during filming, one of them fell off Boreanaz. He admitted that though he remembered his words from the script, he struggled to remember them while in the car scenes, so he put the script on the dashboard to remind him what to say next. Edit
    • The restaurant that Brennan planned to meet her date at was called Nolita. Nolita is the name of the restaurant from the canceled Fox show Kitchen Confidential. In fact, the scene used to show the front of the building is identical to those used in the show. Edit
    • Featured music: "Hot Blooded" by Foreigner (when they're in her apartment) "Walking on Moonlight" by Brookville (at the very beginning) "A Pain That I'm Used To" by Depeche Mode (when the FBI gets into the building where Brennan is being held hostage) Edit
  • Quotes

    ADD QUOTES
    • Brennan: You know, on your x-rays, there's a history of multiple fractures on your feet consistent with beating. It's a common method of torture in the Middle East, beating the soles of the feet with pipes or hoses. Booth: Yeah, I know. Brennan: And there are indications of injuries sustained while you were shielding someone. Booth: How the hell can you tell something like that? Brennan: The scarring shows that the rib cage spread in such a way that ... Booth: Yeah, okay. A buddy of mine, he lost his weapon and I uh, I tried. He didn't make it. You know you shouldn't be looking at my x-rays. Bones: Sorry. Edit
    • Booth: So, this whole online thing, how long does it last? Because if it's just a way to hook up ... I gotta tell you, It's pretty low. David: You know, one of my partners met his wife online. Brennan: You're kidding. David: No, they've been married for five years. Booth: Doesn't mean it's not creepy. Edit

  • Allusions

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • Booth: You know whatever happened to seeing someone across a crowded room, eyes meeting, that old black magic gets you in its spell? Two allusions to two different songs. The first is to "Some Enchanted Evening," from the musical South Pacific, which contains the line "...you will see a stranger across a crowded room." The second is to "That Old Black Magic," the title of a 1942 song written by Harold Arlen and Johnny Mercer. Edit
    • When Angela is questioning Agent Kenton about the reason for no wedding ring on his finger she says: Angela: Brokeback, baby. Gotta ask. This is an allusion to the Oscar winning movie Brokeback Mountain directed by Ang Lee and starring Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal. This epic love story is about two cowboys in 1960s America who fall in love and spend the rest of their lives trying to hide this love affair from their respective wives. Edit
    • Brennan: (about Booth) He's a Luddite. Although now a term used to describe anyone who doesn't like the progress of technology, its origin is from the English uprisings that began in 1811, started by Ned Ludd. The Luddites became a very powerful force against the introduction of new looms and machines that could be used by relatively untrained people, therefore putting their own livelihoods as specialists at risk. Many Luddites destroyed machinery and the movement was extremely powerful at one time. Those found guilty of the destruction were often hanged or transported to Australia. Edit
