Bones: The Mastodon in the Room
October 2nd 2010 06:02
With Cam’s job on the line Caroline gets the team back together! Booth and Bones meet up exactly where they said they would, at the reflecting pool, 7 months after last season ended, and they’re both different. Booth comes back in his fatigues with a new girlfriend (who he left in Afghanistan). Bones comes back from the jungle with bangs, Daisy, and possibly having rethought her relationship with Booth while she was away. Sweets comes back with facial hair, (Daisy promises Sweets she won’t leave him again, but Sweets doesn’t want to be engaged anymore. She made her choice), and Hodgins and Angela come back expecting a baby!
With the Jeffersonian no longer where Cam works, everyone pulls together in much less high-tech, cramped area to solve the crime of the unidentified remains of a young boy. Bones needs help, but can’t seem to find her interns, who have had to move on after she left. She finally tracks down Wendell (who’s working on a school bus), and promises to make sure the job of helping her will pay more. After all, she does have a lot of money.
The team figures out that the death of the boy was an accident, and the victim was not the missing boy everyone thought it was. They find the missing boy alive and very well with his father, who is just trying to hurt the boy’s mother by taking him away.
After Bones tells Angela that Booth fell in love in Afghanistan, Angela tells her how sorry she is for her friend. Bones can’t understand why she would be sorry. “Where you in love with Booth?” she asks Angela, confused, and Angela just shakes her head. Some things don’t change. Bones assures Angela that she’s happy for Booth.
After finding out that the new team Cam was left with isn’t very good, and that Wendell lost his fellowship after she left, Bones decides she should stay. Thinking she’s the lynchpin that holds them all together, she tells Booth so. Hodgins and Angela decide they should stay to raise the baby at home. (Hodgins liked Paris and all, but he’s definitely more at home solving murders and being the bug guy.) Booth realizes he needs to be here instead of Afghanistan to take care of Parker, and Sweets comes back from his piano playing after being convinced by Caroline that they’re all going to need him. Bones realizes that she’s not the lynchpin, that it’s Caroline. She thanks Caroline for getting them all back together.
Reunited, the team heads back to the Jeffersonian, only to find a new addition to the lab. As in, the lab is no longer there. It’s been converted into another museum exhibit. In place of the platform a giant Mastodon now stands. Well, that’s going to be a little hard to work around. It’s okay though, they’ve had to work around more. Booth looks at Bones, and she realizes he means figuratively.
Yep, the team is back!
Bones: Why are you in your underwear?
Daisy: You “look like a woman”. Should I take off more?
~*~*~
Bones: So was it dangerous in Afghanastan?
Booth: No, what I did was mostly administrative
Bones: Because you seem really very heavily armed in this photograph.
Booth: How ‘bout you? Any head hunters or cannibals?
Bones: Daisy and I were attacked by some armed guerillas. But I beat them up and we got away.
Booth: You beat up armed guerillas?
Bones: I had to. You weren’t there to save me.
Booth: Aww, Bones.
~*~*~
Bones: What happened? You’re not longer in The Jeffersonian, all my interns, gone.
Cam: What happened is you put your own desires ahead of everything else and you left.
Bones: Are you angry with me?
Cam: Yes, I am angry Dr. Brennan. We had a great thing going, and you just, let it fall apart.
~*~*~
Parker: Dad?
Booth: Yeah.
Parker: Did you kill anybody?
Booth: Why you askin’ me that?
Parker: My friends always want to know. What should I tell them?
Booth: You tell your friends that your dad did his duty the best he knew how, alright?
~*~*~
Bones: Why are you fixing a bus? You are a highly educated and fairly intelligent young man.
Wendell: Gotta pay rent, save up for tuition.
~*~*~
Bones: I am very very difficult to replace.
~*~*~
Sweets: Oh, hey, Booth, can I ask you a personal question?
Booth: Oh, that depends, about you or about me?
Sweets: Me.
Booth: Ok, shoot.
~*~*~
Bones: Booth fell in love in Afghanistan.
Angela: Oh…Oh, sweetie, I’m so sorry.
Bones: Why? Are, are you in love with Booth?
Angela: Oh a little bit, but that’s not what I mean.
~*~*~
Angela: I hope you’re hugging me because you’re excited about being an aunt.
Bones: No, I’d have to be your sister to do that. Oh, which I am, metaphorically.
~*~*~
Bones: I find this reassuring.
Booth: What?
Bones: Us, sitting like this, going to check out a possible crime scene. You, refusing to wear your seatbelt.
Booth: Hey, going against the rough, you know how I’m not wasting valuable time releasing the seatbelt catch.
Bones: Man of action.
Booth: That’s right, like a jungle cat! Rar!
Bones: You should say “like a flea” when referring to lighting fast reflexes.
Booth: I’m not gonna say I’m like a flea.
Bones: It’s more accurate.
Booth: Listen, Bones, we got to talk about this.
Bones: The way my use of accurate similes makes you uncomfortable?
Booth: No, are we gonna get the old team back together again?
Bones: I dreamed about this.
Booth:...Oh, oh, you mean you literally dreamt about it, right.
~*~*~
Bones: I am obviously the lynchpin personality in our group.
Booth: What-I left too.
Bones: After I decided to leave.
~*~*~
Sweets: I’m sorry, but I’m just not the same guy that I was when you left me holding my crushed heart in my hands.
Daisy:I know, you wear hats now. And a very cute little beard.
Sweets: So, I guess this is goodbye then.
Daisy: Well you’ll always be my Lancelot. You’ll always be the one that got away. After I threw the one that got away back, but perhaps the sequence of events isn’t all that important.
Sweets: It is to me. Bye Daisy.
Daisy: By Lance.
~*~*~
Booth: Caroline’s a nice person. You know, underneath the whole…not nice, thing…
~*~*~
Booth: Why do we only solve crimes when we have a dead body?
~*~*~
Hodgins: Angie, I only love Paris because you love Paris, but catching bad guys? That’s what I’m made for.
~*~*~
Hodgins: A baby…I’m gonna be a daddy.
~*~*~
Caroline: There isn’t a single normal law enforcement officer who could work with these people.
Booth: I’m the lynchpin, okay? I’m the lynchpin. (his phone rings) Booth…(walks off)
(Bones looks at Caroline)
Caroline: What are you staring at?
Booth: It’s you.
Caroline: What’s me?
Bones: YOU are the lynchpin. You managed to get us all back here and then you fixed it so we’d stay.
Caroline: I have no idea what you’re talking about Dr. Brennan.
Bones: Thank you.
Caroline: You’re welcome.
Bones: I find I’d like to hug you right now.
~*~*~
Cam: You are all my true friends and I won’t forget it.
~*~*~
Cam: *turns on the light, sees the Mastodon* Oh, that’s really gonna get in the way.
~*~*~
Booth: Wow, okay, that thing is REALLY big.
Bones: It’s a lot to work around.
Booth: Well we’ve worked around bigger. *sees her face* Metaphorically speaking.
Bones: Metaphorically.
Booth: Welcome home, Bones.
Bones: Thank you. Welcome home, Booth.
