This week’s Bones: 4.10 The Passenger in the Oven
This week we get to see how Booth and Bones get along under tight confinement - they’re on a flight to China. Of course, as with any crime-fighting duo worth their salt, they can’t go too far without a good murder following them, and they manage to discover a body in the airplane’s microwave. (Can I say yuck!? No food service for me, thanks.) Of course, they can’t let this go un-investigated, so they work to “do their thing” in the remaining four hours they have left on the flight. Once the plane lands in China, the crime scene becomes their jurisdiction, and Booth and Bones have to get their fingers out of it. Doesn’t give them much time… but our guys are good, and hey, they’ll manage to wrap it up in about an hour! (at least as far as TV-time goes!)
Some of the humor we can expect to see is that Bones is flying first class while Booth is stuck in coach - nothing new there. Remember Booth’s accommodation’s in England compared to Bone’s posh place? I was initially confused about why they were going to China in the first place, but turns out that the story is that Bones has been called in to help identify some pre-historic remains and has brought Booth along to help guard her equipment. Doesn’t sound like it’s too important to the story, but at least it explains why they’re flying to China in the first place.
Anyway, it should be an interesting story - confined to an airplane, trying to solve a murder and fild the culprit in a matter of hours. Should be fun!
