I personally love the Pelant storyline and I am so happy to be watching it again. I think that Pelant is everything that Epps was supposed to be in season 1 and 2 (high IQ, codes/puzzles, socially isolated) but done much better. I like that he is actual competition for the team. Up until this point, the team has a perfect track record for solving cases (I get that it's a tv show so they need to give us a resolution) but it is really fun to see that they couldn't solve this case in one episode. Especially because they know its Palent but they cant prove that its Palent. I also really like that people who are at the top in their field like Bones and Cam were shocked that the spinal column was rearranged. It feels as though we finally have a worthy opponent for this super smart team that we have.
Best part: Bones and Booth finding a house
Worst part: literally nothing.
