Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn Brennan's apartment, you can see a picture of her and Angela on a shelf beside her dining room table. This is actually a personal picture taken of real-life friends Emily Deschanel and Michaela Conlin which was then used on the show.
- GoofsBrennan stated in a previous episode that she was in foster care until her grandfather got her out. Now it is stated that to keep their family safe, her parents changed their names. Brennan couldn't have a grandfather who got her out of foster care if they had changed their names for protection.
- Quotes
Angela Montenegro: [Angela and Brennan are standing on the catwalk above the lab] Look, you finally got to slap Russ. You've been wanting to do that for years.
[Angela and Brennan chuckle]
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: I worshipped him, you know. God, he was so cool. Everyone knew I was Russ Brennan's little sister. I wasn't cool or pretty, so being his sister... You know that game Marco Polo? I'd be sitting in class, and I'd hear out the window, "Marco!"
[laughs]
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: It'd be Russ checking in on me... and letting everyone know that I was his little sister.
Angela Montenegro: Did you "Polo?"
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Yeah, sometimes it'd be the only word I said all day - "Polo." And then Mom and Dad disappeared, and Russ took off. Suddenly, no one cared where I was. I miss that. Someone caring where I am all the time.
Special Agent Seeley Booth: [Downstairs on the lab floor] Bones! Bones! You up there? Come on. Let's go, huh. Chop-chop.
[Brennan looks at Angela and rolls her eyes, oblivious to the fact that Booth cares where she is all the time]
- ConnectionsReferences Born Free (1966)
There were hints throughout the season that her parents were missing and we knew it was only a matter of time before that story was written. This is a story that is never really resolved, as far as I can tell. Even in Season 10, Max states that there are things she just doesn't know. This story evolves over the seasons.
Again, the writer's do such a good job with the complicated relationship Booth and Bones have. Though she has a boyfriend, she turns to Booth for comfort and help. She cries in his arms and throughout this episode there are several times he chases everyone out of the room so he can speak to her alone.
And ohmygosh, what Booth finds at the very end of this episode is just...it shows just how deeply she cares for Booth.
A cliff hanger is added at the end that promises Season 2 will be interesting!
Oh, and Bones makes the comment of "I just may now be a vegetarian after this." She actually already was one...
