The Morning After "Bones"

Episode #7 - The He in the She

Booth and Bones are call to the Chesapeake Bay to investigate a body found by a couple of stoners. They problem is, they find only the upper torso, giving the team little to work. The one obvious clue is the remnants of the victim's breast implants.

Because of the breast implants, Bones and Booth are led to a small church in Maryland, where they find that the victim was a pastor. When the team finds the lower half of the body, they learn the victim was a transgender who had undergone a sex change operation.

This episode had many religious elements, which caused a conflict between Booth and Bones. Of course, Bones does not belive in a higher being, but Booth is a devote Catholic. These differences lead to some hilarious verbal exchanges.

We got to see more of Angela's fiesty personalty, which has been missing for most of this season. I also think Hodgins is starting to get over some of his depression. Dr. Sweets had minimal face time this episode, and what we saw of him looked like it was forced, just to get him some screen time; I'm ready for him to play a bigger role with the team. The new intern was hilarious, and for a minute, I thought he was going to end of in bed with Cam; maybe Cam is growing up!

This is the technically the 7th episode (the 2-part first episdoe counted as 2 episodes). So far we haven't seen Caroline Julian or Max Keenan - I know they are scheduled for guest appearances, but don't know when. I continue to love the fast past of the show and how the mystery is not solved until the very end.
