Bones - 'The Doom in the Gloom'

Bones, bones, bones, bones, bonsey bones bones bones.... Why do I have the 2 1/2 Men theme song stuck in my head? Who knows.
A lady looks dead and then stands up, bleeding, staggers off and opens a door - which then explodes into a fireball and blows her backward. Yeesh that's an insane way to open an episode.

Sweets and Booth are watching martial arts movies, and then Sweets gets a call saying an apartment is ready for him to move into. They say they'll miss him (and his blueberry muffins) and then Booth gets a call for a case. As they're leaving, he picks up Christine and says he'll miss her, and even though I know he's not going *anywhere* (as in, he'll still be on the show), I still got a little teary-eyed at seeing him and the baby!!

She's so precious!!!! (I'm aware this picture is old)

They find a crispy body in a shed that Bones determines is female, and the head is missing, because a shelf fell on her when she was thrown backward by the blast - and somehow her head would up in a toilet. The burnt shed looks as though someone may have been living there.

There was also a gun found in the shed, and the victim was wearing a fireproof vest.

Crapola. Daisy is back. And she's asking about Sweets and his living situation. Bones says 'there are 2 other psychologists in the building, so they can all pretend to be scientists together'. And then she says that Sweets is the only person that she, Booth and Christine like the same amount. Hahaha I remember how she didn't like him when they first met... Cam identifies the victim as an ex-marine named Deanna, who was discharged after fighting with another Marine.
Hodgins does a very clever experiment that proves the fire was started by the same shot that killed Deanna. Sweets and Booth talk to Carlene, the Marine that she fought with, and apparently the two of them had been friends before, then Deanna became all paranoid and talking about the downfall of society - Carlene didn't believe her, so Deanna took a swing at her. Carlene said she'd called Deanna several times in the days before she died, trying to apologize and make up for their fight, but Deanna was 'off the grid'.
Then Daisy and Bones find that Deanna had a healed fracture to her femur caused by a Civil-War-era cannonball. Hodgins wants to do another experiment, but Angela's brilliant calculations render this unnecessary. And Daisy gives a good burn to Hodgins when he criticizes Sweets for not wanting to sleep alone - and she says "Isn't that why you married Angela?".
Booth is all suspicious about Sweets' eagerness to move out, and he calls pomegranate juice 'shrink juice'.
Bones finds that the victim had syphillis, and then they find a retired doctor living near Deanna who was stockpiling lots of lead and was a 'survivalist' who also believed the end of the world (or the government) is coming soon. Apparently the doctor hadn't been back to his house since Deanna's body was found, and had bought a bunch of land out in Virginia. 

I am officially using this meme for everything now. My childhood has returned via the Internet!!

Hodgins makes his own cannonball to corroberate Angela's calculations (she was dead-on) and when he lit the fuse it just kind of fizzled out, and then when they were all looking disappointed it EXPLODED and knocked the cannon back a few feet and the ball itself launched the length of the lab. Fascinating.
Booth and the SWAT team go out to Virginia and find a bunch of booby traps protecting a military-grade bunker and Booth (not wearing a helmet, typically) opens the bunker and out comes - a goat! And a chicken! And then some people, who are coughing, and very non-threatening. One of them is the nicknamed 'Doc-pocalypse', and he's shouting "I can explain everything!"
Apparently everyone was underground for a week as training for the impending downfall of society - and the doctor and the victim had the same syphilis. He also had been the one to treat her when she had been injured by the cannonball, to prove that they were prepared for treating each other's trauma.

Yup.

Deanna was killed while the 'preppers' were already locked in the bunker underground. Daisy and Sweets have a touching conversation where she tells him that he's 'wonderful' for moving in with someone he knew would support him during the difficult time, and not caring if people thought that made him 'weak'. When he is sweet and returns the favour calling her 'wonderful', she responds with "I know." Modest as ever. There was an anomaly in Deanna's clavicle which indicates she was injected, from a large-gague needle, with benzodiazepene (not sure of spelling haha) which was from veterinary stock. There was the same drug found in the stock retrieved from the bunker, it was used to knock her unconscious.
Angela created a schematic (and a virtual Hodgins!) of the bunker to find an alternate exit that the killer could have taken. There was a hatch on the roof of the bunker, but it was covered with soil that would have fallen inward and would have needed to be replaced back on top of the hatch afterward - it wasn't. 

3 experiments in one day?? Hodgins must be ecstatic!!

Booth had a Eureka moment and figured out that the door was booby-trapped. They reconstruct the rig, and instead of the gun with the explosives, they make it full of a gelatin mixture - but then when they go to test it Cam opens the door accidentally and the 'gun' covers Booth in goop. Ew.

Poor Booth!! He looks like he just met Slimer from Ghostbusters...

When they talk to the 'engineer' from the prepper group, he says he could have built it, but didn't, and he had trained the wife of the doctor to do his job in case something happened to him.
They find traces of the explosive elements on her fingernails. Apparently she didn't even care that Deanna had been sleeping with her husband, she was more mad that Deanna was disagreeing with them and defying their rules. Well, she's got her priorities...
Angela found a burnt up note in the shed and recreated it - it was a letter Deanna wrote to her friend Carlene saying that she was sorry for the fight they'd had, and so Angela shows it to Carlene and they both start crying.
Speaking of crying, Bones makes a little toast to Sweets about his departure, and tears up, saying "Oh, I'm getting emotional" like the robot that she is, being shocked about that! And then Booth cuts Sweets off when he tries to make a sweet thank-you speech. Awww I would have loved to hear that, I love when Sweets gets all sappy!!
Sweets has all his stuff packed up - apparently he only owns 2 duffel bags, what the hell? - and his roommates come to pick him up and they're both girls. Ohhhh Sweets. Ahahaha they think Bones and Booth are his parents, and that Booth is 'hot'. 

Well, they got one thing right...
