Hi Bones Booth Podcast.

English Jan here.

Poor Bones is having a fit, all because Cam thought it a great idea to hire Bone's father as a teacher to teach visiting students. You would think by the way she is acting that she wanted the job herself.

As the FBI we know from previous episodes screens all new employees for the Jeffisionian, wouldn't Booth already know that Max had been hired?

I Love that both Cam and Booth argue with Bones about Max working at the lab.

The prize for the most obnoxious person in this episode is split between Elsbeth King and her equally offensive son Royce.

I love Hodgin's enthusiasm for the simple but effective wind tunnel experiment. But I'm still at a loss to understand why Bones objected to Max's involvement with it. Bones states that he took part in the investigation, but he didn't, as far as I can see. Did I miss something here?

He only suggested that they check the National oceanic atmosphere administration.

The award for the most embarrassing conversation goes to... Yes, you've guessed it, Max & Booth. "Are you sleeping with my daughter?" Just what century is Max living in to be asking that question?

Booth's feelings are hurt by the enrichment talk in the car, so much so that when they come across the burn site, he is sarcastic with Bones. Anyway, just who would be stupid enough to burn a body just outside their own home? Really I mean, that's either just plain silly or lazy.

My heart goes out to Dr Sweets, who feels underappreciated in this episode. "Nothing I say has any impact." Welcome to the real world, kid. Most of us think that way from time to time. But later on, Dr Sweet's smile comes back when Booth asks him for advice.

The writers do a good job with the end scene, which as always steals the show.

Overall an OK episode with only a couple of stand out moments.
