Bones: The Knight on the Grid
November 21st 2007 05:10
Booth and the Squint Squad run across another murder that’s connected to the Widow’s Son Case (remember the cannibal from the beginning of the season?) This time the victim was a bishop who’s kneecaps were removed carefully then sent to Bones in the mail. When Zack is the one to notice the kneecaps were removed surgically, he claims, “King of the lab.” It’s been a while! The look on Hodgins’s face is hilarious.
Amy, Bones’s brother Russ’s girlfriend shows up at Bones’s door telling her she needs to find Russ right away because her little girl is really sick and is asking for him. Bones gives Amy the number of a doctor friend and tells her she’s probably better off talking to her father about Russ’s whereabouts. Amy asks Bones to tell her father to give Russ a message about her daughter. When Bones finally asks her father to tell Russ, he lies and tells his son that Booth won’t arrest him. When Russ shows up at the FBI, Booth has no choice but to arrest him, but after he’s gone to see his stepdaughter. Bones thanks him and when he tries to blow it off, she kisses his cheek. His reaction is great: Shocked pause, swallows hard…then, “Just don’t tell anyone.” Booth also ends up helping him when they talk to the judge.
Getting back to the case, the last victim was a violinist, now a bishop is dead, both lost their father’s…it looks like someone’s following a pattern that is right up Hodgins’s alley. Angela recognizes a symbol and realizes it’s on a tapestry in the vault. She says there something “off” about it, and later finds out all these other symbols that look like a lot of tarot cards…of a musician…a bishop…see the pattern? The next victim is going to be a “corrupter”.
Angela finds a link to New Testament Barabas, which Hodgins links to the first secret societies. So this means they’re supposed to interpret everything they find with the symbols backwards. When they look at the Masonic symbols, they find an interesting correlation to the murder sites and a mausoleum in an old cemetery. Booth and Hodgins go there and find another skeleton just like the one they have in the vault. Except this one is entirely made of the bones. Zack finds out that one of the bones is over fifty years old. Which means they have another really old cannibal running around out there. The Gormogon they’ve been chasing is really the apprentice to another older Gormogon.
Thanks to his overdeveloped sense of spatial reasoning, Zack finds out that Gormogon has been using mirrors and a laser to watch them the whole time, and when Booth and Bones try to catch him on a fake transport of the skeleton, a guy on a motorcycle blows up the cab they’re in. Bones argues that it was because she was sitting in the front, Booth blames her overacting when they were talking about the transport in the vault. Haha!
Russ’s stepdaughter gets better, Booth insists he had nothing to do with the easy deal he got, then later on warns Russ that he better keep his nose clean after this. “Because if you run again, you disappoint that woman and her kids and you break your sister’s heart I will—” “Do something terrible,” Russ interrupts. “Yeah, I got it.” Booth tells him he hopes he does, and then Russ thanks him and leaves with the martials to wind up in jail with his father.
Night vision goggles, a bomb made of Old Gormogon’s teeth, a Booth-chases-Young-Gormogon-a nd-winds-up-saving-a-drowning -kid-instead scene, and an ending like a Psycho closet cut also make an appearance. They still haven’t caught Gormogon.
PS-This year’s Christmas episode is here! (As is the rumored BB Kiss) I don’t know about you guys, but I love Bones Christmases!
