Bones 'The Crack in the Code'

Yes, I'm behind this week. So sue me.
No freaking way this is only episode six! *IMBDs it* Jeez, they must have packed a lot of stuff into this one season! Either that, or I have been watching too much Bones on DVD and it's all just kind of blurred together in my mind :/ Hmmm...
That was a pretty intense opening, as crime shows go... Lady preparing new tour guides at a museum, says 'tourists WILL ask stupid questions, and you WILL know how to answer them' haha made me think of my own customers... Then the group of guides all look grossed out and she turns around and there's a statue of Abraham Lincoln with a body at the base of it... Well, ok a partial body, it's just the skull and spine. Gross. And then there's blood spelling out 'where's the rest of me?' on the statue! Creepyyy....
Bones is so pregnant lol she's due in like six weeks! I can't wait!
Then she notices that the spine is out of order which actually made me kind of excited because this looks like a serial killer-type thing! Even before Cam finds out that the blood used to write the message came from five different people! :O This is shaping up to be a very interesting episode! And with Wendell, too! He's so cute :)
Booth and Sweets interview a guy who works extermination at the museum, and they figure out that he knew how to block out the camera from seeing the body being placed, but they think he's not smart enough to taunt the police in the way the killer did, so they let him go.
Wendell and Hodgens are trying to figure out the reason for the order in which the vertebrae were placed, which is honestly a puzzle to me too.. Apparently the processes of some of them were removed, which is probably significant, but I can't figure out how! They keep talking about their grandfathers, apparently Hodgen's was a code-breaker in WW2 that's so cool!
Angela can't find the woman who the skull and spine belonged to through Missing Persons, but Cam did get a match on the DNA from the blood, which is NOT GOOD because it's all from various FBI agents from the DC field office! Jaw-dropping!
Caroline is so awesome, arguing with an annoying reporter-guy!
Haha Sweets giving Bones real-estate advice, she goes 'if positive adjectives are indicative of negative attributes, what does 'tear-down' mean?' lmao! And I have noticed something, why does that cafe seem to have changed so much over the seasons? And what happened to the Chinese food place? I have been watching too much Season 1 lol. But then Booth comes in and informs them that all the FBI agents are still alive, the blood was stolen from an FBI blood drive. So maybe not a serial killer... Yet.
Poor Hodgens has no idea what to do about the code, I hate when stuff like that happens -.- (although my puzzles have never had anything to do with dead bodies lol)
Booth and Sweets locate this freaky hacker-dude and interview him and he's kind of cute but basically an insane conspiracy theorist who has not left his house in 6 months after being placed on parole for hacking the Department of Defence website. Smooth move, buddy... He also had an old computer in his apartment, which Booth says is violation of his parole, but the hacker-man says it 'reminded him of better times'.
Hodgens and Angela solved it!!! Crazy stuff, there's a zip code, a Justice Department phone number prefix, and an address and 4 extra numbers and Angela finds the building, apparently it's the Justice Department archive building and they need to find room 353 and the last 4 digits HAPPEN to be the code that opens the door! Ohmygawd this is getting so exciting!! So Booth and Sweets go in, and it's full of high-density shelves and Booth finds some blood... And then he finds 'the rest'!!
The body was found on top of a stack of 'suspended' criminal case files which belonged to a bunch of FBI informants that were guilty of felonies which were not prosecuted, due to the importance of the information they provided to the FBI in exchange for their freedom. I smell a COVERUP!!
Wendell and Brennan find unusual markings on the bones, Hodgens finds explosives, and it's experiment time! LMAO nothing happens and then right before Wendell is about to go check it, it goes BOOM... and that's so gross but hilarious!
This part is sad, one of the informants ran a real estate scam which swindled an old man out of his life's savings, so he killed himself in front of his adult daughter. The daughter happens to run an IT firm, so Booth and Sweets (is that guy Booth's new partner or something? Not that I mind him having more screen time..) so to talk to her, but first they see the annoying reporter guy on the news, and he keeps citing 'anonymous sources'. The daughter tells them that she also spoke to the same reporter... Which is suspicious! Dun DUNNN
Angela identified the dead girl, she was a European girl in D.C. on a visa, and was house-sitting for a couple months. Booth visits the house and they find blood and bits of gross parts in the pool... And blood painted on the fence which says 'this won't stop' O.o I'm DEFINITELY thinking serial killer now!!
Holy crap Angela was showing Wendell something on her computer, that the European was killed by a contact gunshot with no bullet. Suddenly there's a fire! AAAGH WHAT'S HAPPENING?
They realized that a 'bang stick' killed her because it's an air gun (Hodgens blows up a watermelon to prove this) used by divers on sharks. Angela tells everyone that malware was uploaded onto the computer, which caused the fire because it delayed the fans that cool the CPU from turning on until it was too late and the computer had already overheated. Nobody knows where the malware could have come from, because the only thing Angela had uploaded was the scans of the bones. Then Brennan looks them over carefully and realizes that one of the cut edges is rough, and has been engraved with a virus code. Thats some crazy stuff. The decide it must be the hacker.
Next up, we see a dead guy hanging from a post, and his face has been... I don't know exactly, but let's just say it no longer looks like a face. He is identified as Ezra Crane, the creepy reporter man, and was definitely killed by a bang gun, too! Then his body fails to show up at the lab, and Cam is pacing and worried and mad. Luckily, she took a swab of the skull wound at the scene, and Hodgens analyzed the trace, which was from heat-resistant ceramics, such as those used in vacuum tubes in OLD COMPUTERS!!! Anyone seeing a connection here? Angela did, and when it's pointed out that the hacker could not have left his house, Cam points out that if he could kill people with a curtain rod and blank bullets, create a cipher out of a spine and write malware on a bone, he would have no problem with an electronic ankle monitor. My thoughts exactly.
Caroline informs the group that the body was ordered transferred to the medical examiner's office, then from there a bunch of paperwork was created that sent the body a bunch of places, ending up at a hospital, which was incorrectly told that the autopsy was finished and there was infected tissue, which meant that the body was immediately cremated. Cam admits that the killer may be smarter than them, BUT HE'S NOT!!! I know the squints will catch him :)
Haha Bones says nobody is smarter than her and Booth attempts to argue, but realises it's a losing battle
Sweets and the hacker have a brief battle of wits, during which the guy basically admits to creating the computer worm and tells Booth to 'give my regards to Jack Hodgens,' because he knew he would enjoy the code of the spine. This guy is a totally cocky asshole! There's a montage where he is shown building... SOMETHING and he has articles about Booth and Brennan and the whole team posted on his wall!!
Booth and Brennan go to see their new house (which is a totally empty shell, basically, but, to his surprise, she loves it!) it's so cute I love them together :) But then... that's the end.
DAMN YOU CLIFFHANGERS!!
