They really overdid the whole pelant storyline and I wish they hadn't. It was hard to get through the first time I watched this episode but this feels like torture now. They don't finally get rid of him until season 9 and even that's temporary. Also idk why they have made temperance seem idiotic after having the baby. Like becoming a mother should not and does not make someone loose all common sense and Booth shouldn't have to tell her that. You can tell the show was truly in decline at this point and the writers were grasping at straws with this entire villain arch and everything he's done and will do in the next seasons.
