Burried alive!
I’m not typically big on reruns, but when it comes to an episode I haven’t seen before, I’ll make and exception. (Or, when it’s an episode as good as this one, that’s cool too…) Episode 2.09, or better known as “Aliens in a Spaceship,” aired last night in place of a new episode. Just in case you haven’t seen it, it’s basically about a serial kidnapper/killer who has taken people, burried them alive, demanded ransom and if paid, gives the coordinates to dig them up. For every ransom paid, he was good to his word and the people were rescued. For those not paid, they never found the victims. Bones and Booth are called in when some kids found a container with two dead boys in it - they determine that these are two of the Gravedigger’s victims. In the course of investigating the murder, Bones gets a little too close to the truth and the Gravedigger kidnaps her. Unfortunately for him, Hodgins interrupts the kidnapping and is also taken.
So, now the squints and Booth have to unravel the mystery to find Bones and Hodgins before they run out of air. Unable to raise the ransom money in time, all they have to go on is a cryptic text message Bones and Hodgins were able to send before their phone was fried. Needless to say, they came through just in the nick of time, and upon their rescue, Angela finally admits her attraction to Hodgins (aka - they kiss) and it seems to also be a turning point for Bones and Booth as well.
Oh, and for a good clip, check out my previous post The Confession and Rescue.

Have always enjoyed bones but if the only way it can end is with them drinking and getting drunk then I will stop watching. I am not a recovery AA person but having alcohol be the way they deal with all problems is both distructive and boring.
