Bones - The Mutilation of the Master Manipulator.

Aubrey is a genius. And Booth has to do traffic school. With a condescending cartoon policeman. Sounds like the driving program I did... I have no idea why they make them like that. Anyone taking that program is at least 16! Not five!

Some children who were trying an insane stunt managed to help Bones find the skull, and Hodgins was impressed by them.

WENDELL'S BAAAACK!!! The victim was a professor who was on sabbatical and therefore not reported missing. And Bones thinks flowers are 'all wrong' and Aubrey is a genius again - high-pH of blood in soil can change the colour of flowers. Aubrey refers to the FBI as the 'super-police' and it's adorable.

Baby Wendell is done with the medication, and flirting with his nurse. So cute. She has a 'survey' she needs to ask him questions for - and the page is blank hahaha man I love his smile...

Feel that? That's your heart melting.

Kitty!! There was a kitty in the cupboard in the dead guy's house. Hodgins likes it. That's so sweet.

My boys!! Side note - Wendell is ROCKING that spacesuit.

And there's a video of a woman screaming on the victim's tablet - apparently his neighbours heard screaming. It was a psychological test about how long people would continue being obedient even if they were causing someone pain.

Hodgins uses some kind of crazy centrifuge to magically turn the colour of the flowers. It would smell amazing in that room right now. And he just casually draws his own blood for the experiment. I'm with Angela and Cam on this one - what the hell, dude?

I think Wendell's hair has gotten darker... Do people actually still go on picnics? And he loves science and cheesy 80s music. I love science and cheesy 80s music! Apparently making out requires the soundtrack of Foreigner's 'Waiting for a Girl Like You'. Must remember that...

One of the suspects is a student that was used in the experiment - he broke into the professor's house and blamed him for 'showing him that he was actually a sadistic monster' because he became a criminal after taking part in the experiment. Reeeally... Way to take responsibility for your own actions.

I actually kinda feel bad for this guy now that Aubrey's actually interviewed him - he feels really guilty about what he thought he'd done during the experiment. And then he was in a mental hospital for almost 2 years. That can't have been pleasant.

But good for Wendell, getting a girlfriend!! It's been too long! But now he's suddenly acting all awkward. And less enthusiastic than her.. because 'everything is happening so fast'. Damn it! Don't be that guy, Wendell! You're better than that!

Brennan even notices that Wendell's distracted (after he was 'smiling excessively the year before') Wendell plays reverse-God and says 'let there NOT be light' as he's adjusting his simulator. It makes me dizzy. The poor kitty wants to eat Hodgin's lizard. (Not a euphemism - he has a lizard in a cage in the lab next to the cat from the house).

One of the other students (who also had an affair with the victim) was expelled from school after he broke up with her. And she made an ugly sculpture which could have been the murder weapon. Ugh. Ugly sculptures.

OK sometimes when I'm not looking at the screen, I can't tell if it's Aubrey talking or Booth. This is so weird. Also the artist said art is 'freeing and cathartic' and Aubrey said 'yeah sometimes killers say murdering people is freeing and cathartic'. He's so clever!

Wendell's girlfriend keeps texting and calling him and now I feel kinda bad for her... Damnit Wendell! What are you doing!!

Booth teaches Aubrey that when Brennan talks all scienc-ey, you don't need to know what she's saying, you just need to nod and then wait for her to explain. Brennan got one of Booth's traffic questions wrong and then wants to argue with the cartoon Officer Stop-and-Go. Because, you know, she's never wrong.

Brennan's faith in her own intelligence is unshakeable.

The assistant/current girlfriend snuck into the victim's house, which is not at all suspicious. And Aubrey is bringing the sarcasm and I love it!!

Wendell's pestering girlfriend shows up at work. OK now I'm getting a little suspicious of her! It's been one day!! He's having issues but she's not reacting appropriately! And now he's starting to cry because he didn't want to get close to her and then have her see him die and this is turning into The Fault in Our Stars and I'm freaking out because (spoiler alert) the guy with cancer is the one who dies in that story!!! I just want to give him a hug...

She gives him a beautiful little speech about 'death just being part of the deal' and her aunt dying and then asks if PDA is ok in the lab (because everyone does it all the time anyway although she wouldn't know that) but Cam tells him off - making her a wee bit of a hypocrite - and he smiles and my heart melts again. Awww. You go, nurse girl!! He's back to smiling excessively!!

SOMEONE TRIED TO POISON THE CAT!! THIS IS NOT OKAY!!! And Aubrey and Brennan have apparently developed a shorthand. Booth is not pleased at being left out. Brennan thinks Aubrey's 'competent' and YES, that is a compliment!! Way to go!!!

He's officially Brennan (and Emily) approved!

The neighbour bird-watcher lady apparently is the one who did it, because the cat ate an endangered species of bird. That might have been motive to attempt and kill the cat (even though YOU DO NOT HARM KITTIES!!) but how the hell does that escalate to killing a person?!! Crazy bird lady is crazy!

Booth thinks Brennan 'drives like a grandma.' She's the 'Slow and the Serious', instead of the Fast and the Furious. I see what you did there, Booth. I see it and I like it.
