"Many fans remarked how Booth never seems to have time to eat a decent meal with always grabbing something from the vending machine," said Nathan. "Since this episode is the proverbial deep breath before the big season finale plunge, we decided Booth needed some nourishment."
While Nathan declined to get specific, he did share a few moments from the episode. As Brennan searches frantically for Booth and tries to decide to make a proposition to Booth, Booth's SUV power-slides into an In-N-Out Burger in Van Nuys. He jumps out, dashes inside and hurriedly orders a Double-Double with no pickles, apple pie and a Dr. Pepper.
Naturally, the order goes horribly wrong.
The barely sentient cashier fails to enter Booth's order correctly, so the sandwich arrives with pickles anyway. He then tells Jack that the Dr. Pepper spout is broken. "Listen to me," Booth says, grabbing the cashier by the shirt. "I need you to take the pickles off now. There's no time to explain – you're going to have to trust me."
Booth is then forced to choose between Coca-Cola and root beer while the cashier ponders a solution to the pickle crisis.
The balance of the episode is a series of intercuts between the chaos of Angela trying to follow her vow of celibacy at the Jeffersonian and Booth as he eats his sandwich, reads the paper and visits the rest room. As for what Booth does about the soda situation, Nathan said, "Booth's a resourceful guy – he'll think of something."
These guys have a sick sense of humor. Hey, Fox. Nice try!
