Two Bodies in the Lab

I have to say I love when people from previous shows come together on another project. I have enjoyed David's work since BTVS, and then Angel. I laughed when I saw who was playing Hodgins, because he was a lawyer on Angel who was seen two or three times. In this episode, Adam Baldwin, who was the creepy liaison on Angel is doing a guest spot! He's creepy in this one too, but I love to see the old cast members in a new series. Can we possibly hope that Sarah Michelle Gellar or one of her Buffy cohorts might make an appearance? That would be a dream come true! The chemistry between David and Emily is palpable, and I am on the edge of my seat anytime something remotely romantic happens, as in this episode. Now if only Zack got a love interest, things would really be flying at the Jeffersonian! I miss Jonathan Adams, but Tamara Taylor is a great addition!

This episode has more action, more police stuff than others. Brennan is shot at as she approaches a restaurant to meet her computer date. It is obvious that a hit is in progress but she survives. This brings Booth into the picture as a protector and a serious love interest. He also shows his traditional view of romantic encounters and his disdain for the on-line dating thing. The gist of things is that those being investigated are mob victims and she comes in the crosshairs. We see a cute dance at Brennan's apartment when Booth finds a Foreigner CD in her collection. But the best part is the conclusion when we get to see the love they have for each other, though they are holding back.

If you are a fan of the romance of Booth and Bones, this is definitely an episode to watch!

They are actually working on two separate cases: A mob boss's body is found and a young woman's tortued body is found. Booth has a detective friend helping him on this case. Also, Brennan has a blind date and Booth is not happy!

After Brennan is shot, Booth won't let her out of his sight. He also interrogates her blind date in a way that can only be determined as jealousy. Until he knows who's out to kill her, Booth won't let Brennan out of his sight. He announces that he will be spending the night with her (on her couch, of course), and I guess it does end up being a bit of a hero/romantic thing when he is hurt instead of her.

But while in the hospital, Booth puts Brennan into even more danger and has to use Hodgin's help to get to Brennan before she is killed.

We see their first hug, and the closing end shows just how close the two have grown.

Very, very, very well done!
