Bones: Santa in the Slush
November 28th 2007 05:22
Bones Christmases are the BEST! I love these episodes! This year Bones did not let us down, with a case that involves someone murdering Santa three days before Christmas. And no one can believe just how much this guy really was like Santa! He has a custom-made suite, a real beard, smokes a clay pipe, has a reindeer hoof-scar, and…*drum roll please…* His legal name is Chris Kringle and he lives in a toy shop!!
Booth is in an uncharacteristic bad mood this Christmas since he won’t get to see his son Parker, Bones is trying to get her dysfunctional prison-dwelling family together to fulfill her dad’s wish for a family Christmas before she heads off to Peru, and Angela and Hodgins get to celebrate their first Christmas together as a couple/family with homemade Christmas tree ornaments. Awwww!
There are so many great moments in this episode I can’t possibly write about them all, but the two I can’t leave out are, of course, The Kiss. Yes, it’s true Booth and Bones share their first kiss, and it comes about in the funniest way ever. Caroline won’t fix it so Bones’s dad and brother can have their Christmas unless Bones and Booth kiss. Hahahaha! Pricesless! Bones springs this on Booth about a minute before Caroline is supposed to be there and she is hanging up mistletoe in her office. She graciously asks Booth if he’d like a piece of gum as she pops one into her own mouth, then tells him she was only telling him out of professional courtesy. Booth’s flustered reaction is great.
*after the longer than obligatory kiss*
Bones: It was like kissing my brother.
Caroline: You must really like your brother.
Booth: She does.
Bones: I do.
I love how after Caroline leaves, both Bones and Booth fumble around trying to find an excuse to go and then Booth finally starts to leave, is surprised to find gum in his mouth, thanks Bones, and hurriedly leaves.
Later on at the diner, Booth and Bones are sitting at a table with Sweets, who wears a huge elf-ear hat, and Bones says she has a crisis. Booth says it was just mistletoe, and when Bones says, “I wasn’t talking about the kiss”, Sweets’s reaction is hilarious, a stunned, “You kissed?” They both brush it off and Bones tells Sweets her problem is actually that Booth thinks it’s okay to lie at Christmas. Sweets agrees with Booth, and explains to Bones that it’s not really lying to kids, it’s giving them the magic of Christmas. Bones accepts this, and goes to tell her brother that they need to come up with a story about why he’s there so his stepdaughters can come have Christmas with them at the prison. Russ doesn’t want to do it at first, but she eventually talks him into it, as he talks her into coming.
Bones’s dad gets his family Christmas after all, Bones gives up going to Peru, and Parker shows up at the FBI! Booth gets to see his son for Christmas after all. Yay! It’s great how he got there too: he just found a policeman, told him he was lost, and that his dad worked at the FBI. Haha, that’s so cute!
The second scene I have to mention is the very last scene (so stop reading now if you don’t want to be spoiled!
) Because it’s at a risk for having “shanking materials”, Russ’s stepdaughters can’t have a Christmas tree in their makeshift family Christmas. But fear not! Booth calls up Bones and has Parker wish her a Merry Christmas. (Parker even calls her “Bones” Awww) He also tells her he has a gift for her, and to open the window.
Get ready for the cutest pictures EVER!
Booth and Parker brought a fully decorated full-sized Christmas tree to the parking lot and hooked it up to the car battery so that Bones and her family could have a real Christmas tree after all. Have I mentioned how much I love Booth lately?
Great episode Bones!! Loved all the Squints together on Christmas! Oh yeah, they do find out who killed Chris Kringle. And it was with a big brass bell.
