Bones - The Corpse at the Convention

[Note: As stated last week, Big Bang Theory conflicts with Bones, so I'm going to be watching/blogging about it later.]

Booth doesn't know what Schrodinger's cat is, and for once someone is fawning over Angela and calling her a genius. Go Angela!! That non-scientist mystery writer who Brennan hates is also at this conference (that's a blast from the past!), and then a very rude fire alarm interrupts Brennan's speech. There's a body on fire in a stairwell and she freaks out about the fact that the evidence is burning - rather than being concerned for her own safety. Typical Brennan.

Also, this week - WENDELL'S BAAAAAAAACK!!! Let's take a brief moment for some Wendell appreciation:
I think he approves.

I had to use this one again, it's too priceless. And I realized he looks very concerned. Which is adorable.
AND HE HAS NO CANCER!!!! Because Brennan managed to get him into a clinical drug trial. Awwww... I'm not crying. You're crying.

It's kind of hilarious how many people are trying to push their crime-scene investigation products on the team. Within the space of two minutes, Aubrey mentioned Beyonce and Booth mentioned the Kardashians - we get it, Bones writers, you're young and hip and whatnot. Shockingly, the author-lady is using the dead person to promote herself. (That was sarcasm).

Turns out that the dead girl was actually the entomologist that Hodgins had argued with earlier in the day. And as he so furiously pointed out, that's the third time he's been a murder suspect.. Given his temper, I coulda sworn it was more.

I love how Aubrey is turning into a mini-Booth, they even have a similar kind of voice/accent.

Apparently it's possible to just remove giant sections of concrete stairways when examining the body attached to them. And Cam's signature messy-bun is back! I wish my hair always looked that perfect when I pull it back 'casually'.
Although let's be honest, Cam look flawless approximately 100% of the time.
Even when examining icky gross crime scenes.

Without fail, the sight of Booth eating pie at the diner makes me want pie. Ooh! Band-aid found at the scene has DNA on it that belongs to none other than... Hodgins. Damnit Hodgepodge, stop leaving your DNA on things!! And now Aubrey and Booth have to interview him (not that that's a conflict of interest or anything). He and Aubrey like each other (aww) so Aubrey asks him to please not be the killer. Right, because that's how that works.

Turns out the guy running the convention was having an affair with the dead lady - and before that, he was having an affair with the author lady. Crap, I've lost track of who they interviewed second. They interviewed the dishwasher guy, then Hodgins, then this guy. But I can't remember if there was someone before or after the dishwasher. And now Hodgins, despite being a suspect, is still allowed to work on the case. That's so silly. I guess it's because they don't have any other lab people to do all the science for him.

Damnit, Wendell hasn't returned from his appointment for medication... THIS IS NOT OK! Bones writers, if you kill him too, I SHALL NEVER FORGIVE YOU!!
This is not a good look for him! No more of this!
(Even though it's obviously a bald cap, cos ain't nobody touching MGT's hair!!)


Hodgins and Cam figure out that there was a chemical time-release that set the fire, and therefore caused all the suspects (including him) to lose their alibis. But at least they got to do a little experiment. One with fire this time!

Oh, and apparently all the ten minutes of worrying over Wendell is dismissed with "He called Booth, he's fine." That was semi-pointless. Except now he's at the bar and all sad and pensive because one of the other people in the trial suddenly got worse and died. So now he's worried that his cancer's suddenly going to come back. Which Booth takes as a reason to tell a war story - haven't heard one of those in a while. And he calls Wendell his 'brother' and I teared up a little. I want to hug him. He needs a hug. And so do I.

Turns out the killer was one of those forensic-tool-salespeople. Booth cannot say 'thermocouple' and Bones has to be reminded not to compliment the murderer. Turns out the dead lady was also sleeping with him - and stealing his product design. Just like she did to Hodgins (the plagiarism part, not the sleeping-with part). She wasn't a very nice person.

OK I like the Schrodinger joke - and Booth's moon one - but it didn't really warrant the hysterical round of laughter it got from her audience. It was more of an 'lol' not a 'LMAO'. And come on, all those scientists, and no one thinks the moon one is funny?! Lame.
Schrodinger's cat: inspiring paradoxes since 1935.
OK that's all for this week - but stay tuned, I'll be posting the Big Bang Theory blog sometime soon. Also, Elementary is returning tonight (yay!) and I'm not blogging about it, but I will probably be live-tweeting, so feel free to come find me here: https://twitter.com/emmycsi :)

I'll leave you with just one more adorable Wendell (since we probably won't see him for a while now). I've got a whole arsenal of these.
Look how dapper he is. I bet he'd be fun at parties.
