Folks, there's no way to get around it. "The Woman in the
Whirlpool" is a sobering episode, if you'll pardon the pun. We're
dealing the aftermath of Booth lying about his resumed gambling activity
and Brennan asking him to leave The Mighty Hut, 2.0, right? There's no
way we could have a comedic piece after an upset like that. So, what do
we do? We hunker down and look for the good in what is before us because
there is good in this episode, and it's more than the quality of
the portrayals, Hodgins' latest toy, or a solid case built around some
interesting remains. There are some nuggets to hang onto and look for as
you sit down (without your dinner, unless you want to be wearing it) to
watch Bones' 20th episode of season 10.
In
accordance with tradition, I have several teases for you that are
cryptic enough to preserve the element of surprise, yet (hopefully)
intriguing enough to get you excited about your first viewing of "The
Woman in the Whirlpool." You'll have to let me know if I accomplish this
goal by writing in the comment box below. Let's get this bone on the
road...
