Bones: The Girl With the Curl
(S02E07) Well, it certainly didn't take long to put Bones back into high-gear after the long October break (stupid Major League Baseball). We had a 'stripped from the headlines' murder involving a child beauty pageant star, a 9-year-old murderer, Bones touching and watching beauty pageant contestants (for investigation only), sexual awkwardness between Booth and Cam, and some increased sexual tension between Booth and Bones.
But, screw all that! Angela and Jack went on a date! And they kissed! Well, guess that speculation post I wrote two weeks ago about those two gets thrown out the window. Or, maybe not.
Read on, my TV Squad friends, if you dare.
At first, Angela wasn't going to go on the date with Jack, even though the sexual tension between them was so thick this episode you could cut it with a scalpel. Personally, I wanted to reach into the television, grab those two crazy kids, and scream 'Just kiss each other, dammit!'. Luckily, Cam and Bones(?) persuaded Angela to go on the date with the assumption that it would go badly, there would be a short period of awkwardness, and then things would get back to normal. But, the date didn't go badly. In fact, according to Angela it was the most perfect date she ever had. See, that's what you get when you listen to advice from a forensic anthropologist.
Still, even though it was perfect, and it looked like an office romance was about to begin, Angela put a stop to it. She felt that if the relationship with Jack went sour, things could go very badly for both of them in and out of the office. So, she decided Jack and her should remain friends. However, scrappy Dr. Hodgins didn't give up. In a last ditch effort to keep the relationship alive he asked Angela what would happen if it didn't go badly. So, it looks like the door remains open for something to happen.
Meanwhile, there was an increase of sexual tension between Seely Booth and Temperance "Bones" Brennan. It was clearly seen at the end of the episode, when they were complementing each other on their looks. Then, they got very close, and looked into each others' eyes. I wanted to reach into the television, grab those two kids, and yell 'Don't do it!'. Fortunately, all they did was order Thai food. There does seem to be a slight crack in their relationship, though, in the form of Cam. You can tell Booth is fighting his feelings for Cam. Whether he'll win that fight or not will probably be revealed in upcoming episodes.
What else this week? Oh right, a murder to solve. Really good. It was another case where I didn't know who the killer was until the very end. And, the investigation was very thorough, which made for a very interesting episode. The good thing about it was that the relationship story between Angela and Jack didn't really interfere with solving the crime.
One more item before I leave you. Has Booth always worn thin ties with his suits? I noticed that he wore two this week. Are thin ties back in style? I mean, if they are, I have a ton of those ties purchased from Chess King and Merry-go-Round that I can wear again. They'll go great with my white linen suit with the push-up jacket sleeves!
That's all folks! Next week: Viva Las Vegas.
