I liked this episode, Booth and Brennan had to deal with an issue that most married couples have to deal with… Money! Which I'm surprised it hasn't come up before, considering the amount of money Brennan is worth.Finding out that Hodgins has an older, mentally ill brother was a great way to find out about his past. Hodgins to me, has always been a mystery; Who is the man behind the mask? Now we know a little be more about his life, he has a brother named Jeffery.
The case was a little plain, seems like the writers just needed a filler murder storyline in order to tell the rest of the plot, but it was cute. It had a good twist at the end. Lauren, the victim thought she was getting away with faking her own kidnapping and running away with the ransom money. But instead she dies from a penicillin shot, that her parter in crime ( the dog walker) gave her because the wound from her toe, that they cut off to send her father got infected.
In my option, Lauren got what she deserved. To put her own father through such pain and unknown fate about his daughter, is just horrible. Not to mention what Lauren put the dog walker through, tricking him into thinking they where going to run off together. Instead she was going to take off with another man…

Booth and Brennan offering Hodgins the money for his brother to stay in the home was very sweet. I kind of know that Hodgins would have turned it down because he is use to doing things on his own. So instead they decided to spend the money on the Wounded Warriors Project which shows the true heart of the show.
I liked this episode too. It was great to find out more of Hodgins' backstory, since we know so little about him and his family. It makes me like him even more.
ReplyDeleteWe did know a bit about possible money issues with Booth and Bones when they were talking about moving in together and buying a home. Bones was perfectly willing to pay the majority of the costs, but Booth wanted to go "halvsies," so they ended up buying the drug bust house that was practically in ruins and Booth had to renovate before they could live in it. So we have had some indication of Booth's sensitivities to supporting his family, and not just living on Bones' book royalties.
I admire him for wanting to be able to take care of his family, and Bones' coming to understand his sensitivity in that area over time, but I love his generous heart too in this episode. He's always had a big heart, and here we see that once again. He truly is a good man! And Hodgins is learning that too, as he learns to live without the money he's always taken for granted in the past.
This episode was a good showcase for the character of both of these guys.
Thank you for commenting, agree as the series progresses we get see on Hodgins and Booth have grown into really GREAT MEN!
