Bones - The Witch in the Wardrobe, S05E20

This show got lucky. I was bored and it happened to be on, and it was an entertaining and excellent episode so I watched it. After last week, I wasn't even certain I was going to finish the season, but it has earned yet another reprieve. I guess that what years of loyalty and the sincere desire for it to deliver have earned it.

While Bones (Emily Deschanel), Booth (David Boreanaz), and the rest try to determine who burnt down a house a murdered a witch, Hodgins (T.J. Thyne) and Angela (Michaela Conlin) are stuck in jail after they were pulled over for poor driving and both had outstanding warrants. Oops. On the one side, we had the mystical mystery of a dead witch, and on the other the romance that I have been most torn up about in Bones relationships.

I was very pleased with the use of forensics and historical research to determine the identity of old bones assembled in a closet. I also loved that Clark (Eugene Byrd) had to design his own experiment because Hodgins was in jail. The difficulties incurred because Angela and Hodgins weren't available was amazing; all the team members are needed to properly and effectively determine the truth.
Adding to the above, that part of the motive was caused by hallucinogens which were accidentally absorbed from a ceremonial agent - rye flour, the details of the case were very complex and believable

And, while in no way do I want to remove the focus from the fact that good science and exciting mystery made this case what I have come to expect from Bones and so often not found of late, there can be no denying that I am beside myself with joy over the outcome of Angela and Hodgins spending several days together in jail.
Finally, this couple has reunited. And not only that, but they married before anything or anyone could possibly stop them from accomplishing what should have happened 2 years ago.
Looks like everyone in Bones except Booth and Brennan are tying the knot - I guess they are trying to keep us happy. Cam (Tamara Taylor) is likely to be next!

Let's just hope the feeling lasts until the end of the season.
