The Doctor in the Den
This week’s Bones episode reads like it’s going to be a real tearjerker. Not only is there the traditional corpse - what kind of Bones episode would it be without one? - but it’s someone from Cam’s past. I guess that’s kind of putting it lightly. It’s Cam’s ex from 10 years ago, Dr. Andrew Welton, and he wasn’t just any old fling or a high school crush. This was a serious relationship - one where she even raised his daughter for two years before it ended.
Now, with the ex found half-eaten outside of a tiger cage after a charity event at the zoo, Cam joins the rest of the squints to figure out just how the good doctor came to be in such a condition. During the investigation, we meet suspect Brandon Casey (guest star Chad Lowe whom I remember best from the TV show Life Goes On) whom is hypnotized by Sweets and Angela as part of an effort to get him to remember exactly what he saw the night of the murder.
One of the more emotional aspects of this episode will be Cam’s interaction with Dr. Welton’s daughter who is now 16 and who also doesn’t remember Cam in the least. With the daunting task of breaking the news of her father’s death to the girl, coupled with the memory of raising her for two years as a young child, their reunion promises to be a tense one if nothing else.
The team will also be joined once again by intern Dr. Clark Edison, who always adds a little fun to the mix as he expresses his discomfort at the group’s lack of professional and personal separation. Add to his dislike for the team’s habit of providing “TMI,” Angela’s self-imposed celibacy (which is making her just a little - okay, a lot - more obsessed with sexual thoughts than normal) should make him extra uncomfortable…
