Bones - The Puzzler in the Pit

Daisy is back! And super pregnant. She's also waiting for the baby to 'communicate' to her how he wants his room set up... Uhhhh...

Booth is making puns about the word 'fracking'. Bones bought enough things for Daisy's baby to fill their living room. Holy generosity, Brennan! But Booth really wants to keep that Fisher-Price popper thing which is hilarious because I'd do the same thing (even if he folds himself in half in order to use it)

What grown adult wouldn't want one of these??
If they made a vacuum version, I'd be vacuuming every day.

There is a heck of a lot of hydrochloric acid on the remains, which is eating away at the tissue (everybody with me now - ewww!!) and Hodgins gets all MacGyver on them and dumps baking soda on them to neutralize the acid (Although I call bullshit on the lack of special effects there, it didn't fizz like AT ALL, and we all know what happens when you combine sodium bicarbonate and acid...)

"It's not just for baking anymore!"

Brennan doesn't think Daisy understands infants, and I concur. Not that Brennan really understood them when she became a mother, either... Remember this?

We're ten seasons in, and that is STILL one of my favourite moments.

The victim was a guy who made crossword puzzles. That's a pretty cool job, but I imagine very difficult... Cam was a fan of his and this is interesting, because she's not usually very nerdy.
Angela also thinks Daisy is going crazy - because her doula keeps telling her all these weird things like buying crystals would help make the birth painless. Angela's plan is for Brennan to continue telling Daisy she's ignorant. And I know she's in a weird place emotionally, what with Sweets and all *bursts out sobbing* but she's still a scientist!! And therefore should know better!!

OH! PS! Speaking of Sweets! He's been nominated for a People's Choice award for 'Character we'll miss the most' SO GO HERE TO VOTE: http://vote.peopleschoice.com/#!/home/all/49/2 (And then scroll through the other TV categories and vote for Bones in a bunch of those where they're nominated, too!!)

He wants you to vote for him.

Booth refers to the suspect as 'any old schmo' so Brennan takes this and goes on a tangent about whether or not the guy speaks Yiddish ('schmo' is 'idiot' in Yiddish). Aubrey walks in on the middle of this conversation and doesn't know what to say.

Hodgins has a really sweet moment with Daisy talking about all her superstitious stuff. "I don't want you to push us all away because you're afraid of losing someone else." Which is adorable, especially considering I didn't think he liked her very much. And then Brennan gets a little too harsh about it and hurts Daisy's feelings, and now I feel bad. Crap.

The doula is kinda bitchy to Angela when she accompanies Daisy to her appointment, since she's 'mixing different energies' and whatnot and then says that 'even though she didn't have a non-traumatic birthing experience' that she 'seems like a nice person, and I'm sure your baby will be just fine'. Angela fires back "Yeah, my baby is perfectly fine." I'm surprised there wasn't more to that comeback, but I think she was kinda caught off-guard.

We all know there ain't no shade like Montenegro shade.

OH MY GOD!!! OH MY GOD!!! The 'schmo' who left the threatening message for the victim is PLAYED BY SAM LLOYD A.K.A. TED FROM SCRUBS A.K.A. THE SHOW I'VE BEEN BINGE-WATCHING THE LAST FEW WEEKS!!! (Fun fact: I recognized his voice even before looking up at the TV hahaha) He was planning on taking legal action against the victim for stealing his work - which is funny, because, after all, Ted is a horrible lawyer.

"Lawsuits are bad." That's the extent of his knowledge on the subject.

OK this case has turned emotional now, too, because the victim had Alzheimer's. And poor Aubrey's grandma had dementia too! That stuff makes me so incredibly sad. The victim was also gambling all his money away (without even knowing it) and Aubrey is taking over and preventing Booth from gambling in order to smoke out the bookie. What a good guy!!

Aubrey asks the bookie if he's playing stupid, bookie says "Stupid? What's stupid?". I'm not 100% sure he's playing... Turns out the actual gambler was the victim's assistant.

And then Daisy starts having contractions, which she insists are just Braxton-Hicks contractions and then therefore 'not a big deal'. Which I recall someone else saying about Braxton-Hicks, but that was a man, and...

You tell him, Rachel!

But then her water breaks, and she says "I'm sorry... I'll clean it up" hahaha she eventually freaks out on that stupid doula (after the doula tells her to send her friends out because they're 'distracting') and tells her to 'get the hell out' and I have never been more proud of Daisy than at that moment hahaha.

Aubrey is deadpan whilst talking to Booth on the phone and I love it.

They figure out at the last moment (well, Daisy does, whilst in labour) that the killer was the victim's son that he didn't know he had, then Aubrey interviews the guy and he admits to pushing him because the victim didn't recognize him even though they'd spoken earlier the same day - the son didn't know about the Alzheimer's. And then he feels awful and starts crying. Plus, the guy probably wouldn't have died from that push if he hadn't been on Alzheimer's meds that weakened his bones. So now I feel like crap.
Unrelated side note: Aubrey wearing blue is a wonderful thing. Let's get more of that.

Look what it does for his eyes!

I usually don't cry when babies are born on TV shows. But this one had me weeping. And they named him Seeley Lance Wick-Sweets. Which is a mouthful. But so very perfect. And he's precious. And Booth gets to be the first to hold him and he just STARES at him like he's never seen a baby before.

This episode gave me so many feels. But they were good feels. A+ work from Carla Gallo, holy crap, I just wanted to give Daisy a hug!! Welcome to the world, little Seeley!! You're going to be one of the most spoiled and loved babies ever!! I need a tissue.
