Bones, James Bond is dead?

Well, my first piece of advice is, as always, don't bring a knife to a gun fight. It's a bad idea. Didn't we learn that from Sean Connery in the Untouchables? You know, right before he learned that if it is a gun fight, make sure you have the better gun.

Well apparently, the Russian murder victim did not watch the Untouchables, and so ended up dead, being eaten by feral cats. Yummy!

Bones was exactly the way I like it this week. The crime was not background; as Hodgins said in the episode, they were really going down the rabbit hole. Because the Russian was not the only murder vic, so was a CIA agent. Which means, we get to deal with all the interbureau tensions that the FBI and the CIA have...it's so comforting to know that two institutions which are meant to defend the American people work so well together....I'm glad I'm Canadian.

Back to the point. Bones and Booth can't ignore the possibility of top CIA agents being involved and committing murder. And we got some of old Hodgins, with his conspiracy theories, back. Watch out! If we get too involved in the case, we may also disappear....

By far, the best moment was when the team had 10 minutes to examine the evidence and come up with their murderer before the CIA arrived to lock everything down as a matter of national security. Wendall, this week's intern, saved the day, pointing out all the pertinent details and coming up with the answers; Booth encouraged him to do it in the little time they had with hockey references. Wendall is one of my favourite interns because he is so very normal. It's nice that Booth isn't the only one...

Yes, we got some sweet moments between Booth and Brennan, and Sweets gave her advice about her relationship with Booth, and the whole team had to deal with Wendall leaving as he had lost his scholarship (never fear, multiple donations to the scholarship fund revived it for him). And with all that, we got a cool spy-murder story, with love, betrayal and a realization that some people are far more capable that we give them credit for.

Keep up this trend and I'll be a happy girl!
