The Morning After "Bones"

Episode #3 -Man in the Outhouse





Bones and Booth investigate the murder of a man found in an outhouse. The very first scene has a truck driver entering a roadside "outhouse" while pulling a pack of cigerettes out of his pocket. As soon as the outhouse door is shut, the man must "flick his Bick" because the outhouse explodes into a huge fireball and throws the man out onto the ground - with his ass on fire (he ends up living).

However, while examining the scene, it is discovered there is a body in the "pit" of the outhouse and Booth and Bones are called to investigate.

One of the funniest things about this episode is that Brennan dates two men simultaneously and winds up being dumped by both. Booth comforts her. He tells her there is that perfect someone out there for her to spend the rest of her life. This should satisfy all viewers on either side of the "should they" - "shouldn't they" question - Booth's obvious jealousy at Brennan's relationship with two men combined with how he deals with the situation.

All in all, not one of my favorite episodes, but not horrible either. I have a problem with bathroom humor and there were entirely too many "poop" jokes! But we did get to see another side of Bones and Booth that has been missing in previous seasons.

And poor Dr. Sweets - he tries so hard to fit in! We get to see more of Neil, the stalker, as he helps Booth gather information. And another intern bites the dust! Bones' Intern-O-Meter is 0 for 2 ...
