ICONS || SCREENCAPS || EPISODE SYNOPSIS/QUOTES:

<Flashback to the shooting> Sheesh this is intense …
Brennan is talking about a skeleton with Zach.
Hodgins: It's time, Dr. Brennan.
Brennan ignores him and keeps talking about the skeleton.
Cam: That's enough. We're going. Now.
Brennan: I have remains to identify. He could have a family.
Angela: He's 500 years old. They've probably adjusted by now.
Brennan: I'm not going. I've already made that clear.
Sweets: It's agent Booth's funeral Dr. Brennan, losing a loved one is-
Brennan interrupts: A partner, Sweetws I lost a partner.
Sweets: Someone close to you <talks about a chance to grieve
Brennan argues her case
Sweets: Being hostile won’t
Angela shows her Booth’s image, and asks her to go with her because Angela says she can’t go to the funeral alone, she needs her best friend.
And Brennan nods.
Gah, it’s OBVIOUS how withdrawn and analytical she’s being. Poor Brennan. This is already breaking my heart.
At funeral – Caroline talks about Booth earning her respect and affection and that she doesn’t like many people.
Caroline: 2 weeks ago he gave the ultimate sacrifice. Giving his life to save his partner. And in that one act, he showed us what greatness we are all capable of.
Brennan: That woman was aiming at me. I would happily have taken that bullet.
Angela: I know.
Caroline: May God’s mercy and love shine on Seeley Booth as he takes his place beside the lord.
Brennan: If there were a merciful God why wouldn’t he have saved Booth?
Brennan is standing there, so nervous, basically shaking her foot, unable to handle it.
Random guy comes up, Booth is dressed as a 21 gun salute man, he runs through the squints, “excuse me” the coffin is knocked over, it’s a dummy body. It’s clear that Booth is alive, and he’s the one fighting with the random funeral attender. Brennan races over, gets the dummy arm, hits the guy as he goes for his gun. Then she turns to Booth.
Booth: Bones, nice shot!
She looks very upset, he notices. Booth: What?
And she flat out slugs him in the face and knocks him on his ass and stalks off.
Funeral Scene

Back at the Jeffersonian, Booth is racing after Brennan.
Booth: After I got shot, the bureau faked my death so I could finally get that guy.
Brennan: I don’t care!
Booth: Look, I drove him underground. He said that the only way we’d ever see him again is at my funeral, so -
Brennan: I don’t care!
Hodgins: Who is he?
Booth: What part of national security don’t you understand, Hodgins?
Hodgins: National security? A catch all phrase for a we can do anything we want
Brennan: I knew I shouldn’t have gone to that funeral. It was a complete waste of time, just like I said.
Booth: Wait a second. You thought that my funeral was a waste of time?
Cam: I thought it was a lovely service Booth.
Booth: Thank you. You know I expected to see more people.
Hodgins: I always imaged a lot of ex girlfriends crying.
Booth: Yeah, me too.
Angela: You guys are pathetic.
Brennan: Just know, I won't be attending your next funeral.
Booth: Bones, I’m telling you, you were supposed to know that I wasn't really dead! I swear! That’s why I thought you weren’t crying.
Cam: Informed by who exactly?
Booth: I gave a list of people to the bureau to inform that I was not really dead. You know, if they didn’t tell you, it’s not my fault.
Sweets: Dr. Brennan’s actually upset because she had to face strong emotions that she’d rather deny. Striking Agent Booth indicated the depth of your feelings for him. It was a very passionate act.
Booth: Thank you! Did you hear that? Passion!
Brennan: Yes! Passion. Because anger is a passion. Anger at being manipulated.
Booth: Ah forget it!
Argue more, box arrives, jawbone from Gorgomon.

Brennan: Are you paralyzed by the paradox, Booth?

Booth: Okay, I give you all permission to do whatever it is that you squints to. So … I’ll just … call me.

At Booth’s apartment, he’s in the tub, in a beer helmet reading a comic. “Bad Bad Love” is playing in the background.
Brennan comes barging in.
Brennan: I need to talk to you.
Booth: What the hell Bones? I’m in my in my bathroom in my bathtub …
Brennan turns music off.
Booth: How the hell did you get in here anyway?
Brennan: Well the fake rock by your front door wouldn’t fool anybody. Why are you wearing a hat that dispenses beer?
Booth: Hot tub plus cold beer equals warm beer. Hat equals solution. Why are you-
Brennan: And that cigar? Very unhealthy.
Booth <puffing on the cigar> : Okay, what the hell do you want now Bones? Okay, because I’m not really feeling too relaxed.
Brennan: You should have told me you weren’t dead!
Booth: I already explained this to you. The bureau has to bed everyone when there is a security issue. I was just following protocol.
Brennan: Protocol?
Booth: Yes!
Brennan: We’ve been partners for three years Booth. And you’ve broken protocol before! Sometimes putting my life in danger. Which makes sense, because you clearly don’t have any real concern for me!
Booth immediately stands up to face her, yelling: I took a bullet for you!
Brennan: Once! That only goes so far.
<Big pause>
Brennan: Would you like a towel?
Booth lowers in tub, nervous.
Booth: Fine. What is it that I should have done, Bones? What did you want me to do?
Brennan: Well, you could have called me! Did you really think I needed to be bedded by your boss? I mean, don’t you trust me?
Booth: Of course I do!
Brennan: Then why wasn’t I told? <walks closer> It must have been something that you said.
Booth: No. I don’t know why you weren’t told!
Brennan: But you said that I should be? I mean, aren’t you curious why I wasn’t?
Booth: Yes. Do you want me to find out why you weren’t told?
Brennan: If it’s important to you.
Booth: Fine. I will. Next time I die, I promise that I will tell you.
Brennan: I’ll look forward to then.
Booth: Me too.
Brennan: What are you reading?
Booth: A novel. It’s a graphic novel.
Brennan: Just so you know I find your lack of puritan modesty very refreshing.
Booth covers himself slightly with comic book, and she leaves and turns radio on.
Bathtub Scene


Booth to Sweets: Look, Bones broke into my house
Booth: Barged into my bathroom
Booth: Wait a second, Bones bursts into my bathroom and I’m weird for being naked?
Sweets: So you didn’t tell her to leave? <something about just sitting there talking>

Explosion in the lab, and Zach’s hands are very very burned and destroyed. WOW … horrible.

At the hospital, Booth is trying to be all encouraging and the squints are discussing the severity.

Brennan assures him she’ll get him whatever he needs to keep his job. WOW.


Booth, to Sweets: A word.
Sweets: I’m on the phone.
<Booth grabs Sweets’ arm and leads him toward Brennan’s office>
Sweets: Tight grip. Very tight grip!
<Booth drags Sweets into Brennan’s office>
Booth <discusses how he gave his list to the bureau and they gave it to Sweets> He’s the one you should have slugged. So do it. Go ahead and slug him now.
Brennan: You chose not to tell me?
Sweets: Yes. Okay. It’s true. Technically. Well actually -
<talks about her being able to handle his death>
Brennan: I think that was a good choice.
Booth: Wait a minute now Why are you mad at me?
Brennan: Because you should have told me
Brennan: Yes you know I’m very trustworthy
Later, to Booth: There’s gotta be some other stuff going on here.
Then later, Booth: Well apple pie. She doesn’t like baked pie.
Booth: Slug him.
Sweets talking about Booth’s encouraging her to enjoy pie is a form of seduction.
Brennan is very upset with him about being an experiment – because if Booth hears what you did he’ll beat you up.

At the diner, Booth and Brennan having coffee.
Brennan: You’re just having coffee. No pie?
Brennan asks if it’s because of what Sweets says.
Booth: I’m just going pieless.
Sweets walks up: No pie, you always eat pie.
Then Sweets has a profile on who he thinks might be Gorgomon … Jack Hodgins.
Sweets: And the emotional connection you share with Agent Booth
Brennan: No – I don’t want to talk about this. No.
Booth: Don’t you know you can’t force her?

Cam thinks it’s Sweets.

<LOL> at Hodgins and the lead area and how he realizes he is a suspect now.

Loved Booth and Brennan interrogating Sweets at the diner on where Sweets was and he jokes about stealing the skeleton.
Booth: I could lock you up for 72 hours
Sweets: You’d lock me up for sarcasm?

Zach in the hospital … he has the only key to the chemical cabinet … Jack gives him painkillers and Zach falls asleep.

<LOL> at Angela’s Limbo state for the bones …
Caroline: Because serial killers get mean when you get close to killing them.

<LOL> at the third in her class student and Bones wanting the names of the two students in front of her.

Brennan realized Zach made a mistake, that he knew they weren’t real that it was all canines. Not dentures.

Booth: Okay Bones, enough about the wolf what’s going on?
Brennan: Zach lied
Booth: Why
Brennan: He took the teeth from the bones storage and he made gormogon’s dentures

Brennan: We know.
Zach, I need to know who this guy is. I need to go get him now.
Describes how to get to house.
Booth and FBI go there over Zach’s description.
Booth kills Gorgomon with a shotgun.

Discuss Zach’s future.
Sweets: No, it won’t stand up. Zach isn’t actually insane.
Booth <pulling Sweets aside> : Sweets, you’re going to give this one to bones. Understand?
Sweets: I understand.
Booth: Good

Brennan: I never gave him anything.
Angela talks about him loving her.
Brennan: But I never gave him anything
Brennan walks off
Booth stops Angela who starts to follow, and he and goes after her
Booth reads her the letter where she offered him the post.
Booth: I think you gave him something great ones
She lays her head on his shoulder, he puts his head on hers.
