Watching Bones

Well, thanks to the country’s weird obsession with sports, Bones took a break this week so we could all watch baseball. Yay for us. No, not really. I don’t enjoy going to sporting events, so I really can’t imagine sitting on my couch to watch one. (My apologies to my sports-fanatic readers.)

Anyway, next week we should be back on schedule with a brand new episode of Bones. According to the Fox network website, it should be another great show! Apparently we’re finally going to get Booth and Bones into the couple’s therapy sessions we’ve been promised for this season. With the threat of being separated hanging over their heads, it will be interesting to see what lengths they go to to keep their partnership together. There’s a great video clip of them in the waiting room discussing what they’re going to talk about in therapy. Booth suggests Bones talk about her dad. When she balks at the suggestion, Booth hesitantly admits a dream he had that they might talk about, but when Bones gives him a hard time about it, he takes it back. Realizing she’s upset him, Bones agrees that maybe she could talk about her dad. You’ve really got to check this out!

Also, for those green-advocates out there, this next week’s episode is for you. It’s about the murder, maybe double homicide, of an organic farmer. Check it out…

Booth and Brennan go in to investigate when teenagers find a severely decomposed body on the grounds of the V.A. hospital. The man is identified as Franklin Curtis, founder of an organic supermarket chain. The team is puzzled when the body’s high temperature reveals that it had been cooked or incinerated. As they attempt to pin down an initial cause of death at the lab, Brennan and Booth question potential suspects around Curtis’ farm. They suspect foul play by a rival farmer from whom Curtis was trying to buy land to turn it organic. In their investigation, Booth and Brennan also discover that Curtis was a well known philanderer. When the flesh of another body is identified with Curtis’, the team must investigate a possible double homicide. Meanwhile, Booth and Brennan are assigned to a new – and very young – psychiatrist, Dr. Lance Sweets. He warns them that the FBI may separate the two unless they undergo further psychiatric counseling, and they reluctantly cooperate in the “The Secret in the Soil� episode of BONES airing Tuesday, Oct. 23
