Bones (TV Series) The Partners in the Divorce (2012) User Reviews

Fire in the Hole!

[Hitchcoc · 9/10 · 18 February 2023]

There are two strains here. A big time (very expensive) divorce lawyer is found, burned to a crisp in an empty oil barrel. It is business as usual at the Jeffersonian as they do what they can to solve the case. That aside, the real focus is on the relationship that has developed since Brennan and Booth have come back together after he hiatus. She has gained a different persona because of her experiences when she was on the run. She is more intractable now than ever. Booth can't let things go or see what has happened. So their happy home starts to crumble a bit. It is here where they realize that things aren't perfect and that's when they need to really be honest. Well done.

Yay Bones, Yay Booth

After all the blood, guts and mayhem - we have Booth and Bones. The two stars come to term with their relationship. Gotta love these two

Great personal dynamic

One of my favourite episodes.

I really like that not everything is sunshine after Brennan's return home. The new dynamic between B&B feels realistic and the problems are shown with little gestures and great acting.

The case is also fitting to showcase the underlying issue that Booth has a different idea of a longterm relationship than Brennan has. He still wants marriage.

I love that at the end of the episode B&B talk about their problems and acknowledged that they still have issues, but are working on them. It's rare for tv shows to have couples talk with each other honestly about their feelings.

PS: I kinda loved the fighting scene: Brennan and Booth are a lot more passionate fighting with each other as a couple.
