Bones - 'A Shot in the Dark'

Open on the team gathering around a body of a guy who either fell or was dumped off an enormous bridge, because his bones are extremely fragmented. Cam needs time to clean the bones, so she sends Brennan home to rest, but then Bones and Booth have an argument because he says she's 'not spontaneous' enough, which she takes to mean that she's a bad mother, and then she storms out and goes back to work.
One of the security guards (who is kinda creepy) talks to her for a bit, then she goes back to the bones, and then there's a noise and she turns but can't see because she's wearing those magnification goggles, and gets shot. In the stomach. Which I knew was coming, but it still makes me sad.. I think she's the only one (with the exception of Angela and Cam) who hasn't been shot before. But she's certainly been kidnapped.
Booth comes to the lab to apologise and finds her. Thank god that he was there!!! He rushes her to the hospital and she 'wakes up' in her childhood home with a woman - her mother! They're chatting and Bones is so pissed because she can't leave (the door won't open, when it does she gets sucked out and plopped back into the living room, and now the door has no handle - this is some Bruce Almighty stuff going on here!
What's next - 7 fingers on one hand??

Cam and the doctor lady from last week were in the operating room, but they can't find a bullet in her, there's no exit wound either. And her heart stops and they have to use the paddles on her. And I'm thinking 'oh shit.' Because that reminds me of the crazy weird improvised dart-gun that Pelant used. Uh-oh... Turns out the poor security guard is  dead too, with no trace of a bullet in him either.
And the pretty FBI agent lady who has chemistry with Sweets is back!!
More of her, pleeeease!!!!!
But no time to be happy over that, because Bones is still in the hospital. Also Clark is back, we find out his middle name is Thomas. Hahahaha his last name is Edison, that's why it's funny.
Sweets is nerdier than we thought, he's a fan of clocks.
He and Agent Sparling are going to the victim's house, and they find confetti that links to a taser belonging to Hal the security guard, and that is what killed the guy Bones was examining.
Then Angela goes to tell her the good news in the hospital, and suddenly she passes out again. She and her mom have a talk about how she was arguing with her mother right before she disappeared, about a boy, and her mother told her never to change herself for another person. And she hasn't! Then Bones goes to hug her mother, and there's a white *pouf* and she vanishes. She wakes up to Booth and her father standing over her, apparently she had a bad reaction to the antigens in the blood they gave her after her surgery, but they have no clue how that happened.
Bones tells Booth that she felt like he was the one pulling her back to Earth, from 'wherever' she was. And then they both start crying.
Hodgins figures out that Bones and Hal were shot with ice bullets - but not just any kind of ice - frozen blood. And a makeshift gun. 
PELAAAAAAANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Clark and Cam find a wound on Hal's head, sustained around the same time he had a struggle with the first dead guy. The trace came from a 12th-century Greek artifact from the storage at the Jeffersonian, and the last call Hal made before he died was to a burner cell phone. So Hal, the shooter, and the dead guy were all working together to steal artifacts from the museum, and when they realised that Brennan would be able to work out the whole thing, they shot her, and then the co-conspirator turned on Hal.
Turns out it was a British guy, doctor Batuhan, working in the restorations department (they found a forgery in its place in storage) who used an airbrush as his makeshift gun. 
This British guy. He was on Friends. Chandler called him 'tomAHtoes'

And made this hilarious face when he said it.
Ok Pelant, you're off the hook this time. But only this time. YOU'RE GOING DOWN, YOU SONOFABEETCH!!!!
Booth and Sparling are interrogating the British bastard and his lawyer's being an ass, but they're shooting him down pretty snappily. Booth's parting words: "I can hold your client for 24 hours, by my watch I have 15 more. And your lawyer sucks."
Sparling has binders full of questions, and Brennan's going into surgery again to do a biopsy on the antigens used in the blood bullet, because there should be a trace of it left in her body - DNA which can be linked to Batuhan. I think she really did it so she could go see her mother again. So they have a long hug and say goodbye, and then the mother says "Tell your father that I always knew the first gift he ever gave me was stolen." Then she leaves, Bones wakes up, and tells Max the message, and he's stunned. So it was true. Creepy. I love how this show skirts the line between the ghost and the real world. Very rarely, but they still do it. And then there was that episode of The Finder with Hodgins and the aliens. So cool. Too bad it was cancelled.
