Bones - The Lost Love in the Foreign Land

Awkward moment when Arastoo and Cam are clearly not on the same page about marriage... (And neither is Arastoo's mom). Luckily for Cam, someone's dead, so she has to leave!

The body was discovered by goats that were grazing in a field and started eating the victim's clothes, so naturally this led to a very funny moment when Hodgins and Aubrey had to chase after one of them because it had evidence in its mouth.
One of the writers, Emily Silver, tweets really awesome behind-the-scenes pictures. I've borrowed a few...
This is clearly a behind-the-scenes picture, but LOOKIT EM RUN!!!

Uh oh. Bones has decided not to approve Vaziri's dissertation, which is incredibly awkward. He's just not having a good day! (Side note, the actor who plays Vaziri, Pej Vahdat is in a competition with the guy who plays Wendell, Michael Grant Terry, over who can get more Twitter followers... I obviously follow both of them but I wish MGT would win because I love him... So go follow him :D https://twitter.com/LLMGT S )

The dead lady was an Asian immigrant maid and worked for a lady who looks a lot like Helen Mirren (she's even British!) but the lady had no idea she was missing. And the old Chinese man who ran the agency that referred the maid says there was a client in the past who'd behaved inappropriately and he might be a suspect (but keep in mind that this man is also the second person they've interviewed, sooo...)

Brennan is kind of regressing in terms of empathy and interactions with others - zero sympathy for Vaziri because he 'should be better than' whatever he suggested for his dissertation. Cam went to talk to her and then Brennan spilled those beans to Vaziri - REALLY Bones, you are not thinking today. Cripes.

Apparently the first client, the one who was inappropriate, was sketchy and inappropriate with some female Asian students at the highschool he used to teach at. I hate him already.

Aubrey eats a LOT. This is adorable, he's got takeout spread over half the conference room table. (Side note: Pej Vahdat is jealous that he had to take his clothes off instead of getting to eat a bunch of food. I think some of us viewers would also like it to be the other way around..) And Aubrey really wants the attention that he'd get for bringing down a sex offender/murderer. Really? That's your priority dude?!

Vaziri overreacts to Cam standing up for him, thinks she doesn't respect him or have faith in him, and then somehow that's related to the marriage thing. I smell a breakup coming...


Aubrey continues to be witty, and the guy who ran the agency where the victim worked was running a human trafficking ring of girls from Asia. WHY AM I NOT SURPRISED. Aubrey looks so astonished and disturbed - but I'm really hoping that he's not just thinking 'Woohoo! Front page!'

Look at them all! It's like clowns in a clown car... But not at all funny.

Oh hey, the State Department guy is back! That's a blast from the past, how many episodes has he been in? (I just checked IMDb and it's 3, including this one - one from Season 2, then he didn't come back until Season 8 when they to deal with that diplomatic crap involving Pelant)
And I know he's dead already, but DAMN YOU PELANT!!!!

Good guy Aubrey is indignant over the treatment of the women and the fact that the State Department wants to detain them. They apparently all have children in China and the traffickers threatened their families. My god this is so sad... Brennan and Angela figure out that one of the traffickers killed the victim's father and then he fled to the US, so she went to the States to follow him.

Aubrey apologizes to Booth for his selfishness earlier, calls himself 'ass-like' and says he felt horrible when he saw those women but IT'S OK AUBREY I FORGIVE YOU!

Apparently Sung, the guy who killed the victim's father was super-easy to track down and he was in love with her, Sung killed the dad because he was trying to sell her to someone for marriage. And he was trafficked too. So she left their remote village and literally walked over mountains to follow him. Everyone looks sad. Aubrey gets indignant again, because Sung is probably going to be sent back to China and executed for killing the father. Booth reminds State Department Guy (unnecessarily) to be fair.
This guy! Remember this guy? "Yeah Booth, thanks for reminding me to be fair."

OHHHH SHIT the British lady who the murder victim worked for actually was getting money from the traffickers... OK I actually didn't see that coming. She seemed so nice..

It turned out that the killer was Tammy, the woman they spoke to at the house. She killed her because the victim had been sneaking out of the house to find Sung, and the trafficker had caught her and said that if she did it again he would punish all of them - including their families back in China. So Tammy killed her to protect all the girls, and her own daughter and I just feel ill. This is so incredibly sad. None of these people were at fault (except for the evil traffickers, obviously).

Vaziri got an idea from this case for his dissertation, and Brennan approved it, so all is forgiven between him and Cam. And Cam, who used to interrupt Hodgins and Angela when they were having 'a moment' at work, decides that PDA in the lab is fine now that she's dating a squintern. The Bones writers call them 'Camastoo'. Haha.

Sorry for the lack of pictures today, I'm really tired... and this episode was just too sad to be witty about :/ See y'all next week!
