The Con Man in the Meth Lab
What can we look forward to on this Wednesday’s episode of Bones? Other than meeting the much talked-about Booth-brother, here are a few highlights:
* Squint Clark Edison is back! (I thought he specifically asked to not be employed with this bunch? Last time we saw him he was driving Birimbau to the airport and saying that there was too much drama in the lab!)
* A “botched practice police raid” that leads to an explosion that causes a corpse to come flying out of a building. The body turns out to be the father of a “struggling inventory,” and the discovery of another body just furthers the investigation to consider that there’s more to this inventor’s life than a recent reunion with his father.
* A birthday celebration for Booth results in an odd birthday gift as his younger brother Jared shows up in town. Having taken a job with the Pentagon, the younger Booth proves to be a hindrance, or maybe just a headache, to Booth as he upstages him continuously and puts himself in the “alpha male” position over his older brother. Oh, and there’s something about Jared falling asleep while driving, getting arrested, and having to call older-brother Booth to help bail him out.
* Bones goes on a date with Jared to a White House function where she gets her first look into Booth’s background and gains a little more insight into her partner.
I can’t wait to meet Jared Booth and watch how things go with him and Bones. Didn’t really see myself saying that since I’m eager to see the Booth/Bones relationship progress, even if it is ever-so-slowly, but now I’m thinking that postponing their actual “relationship” may be for the best. And if it gives us more insight into Booth, all the better!
