BONES “The Pinocchio in the Planter” Season 6 Episode 20 – After the team runs across a victim who was part of an honesty club, they all try out being completely honest with other..to rather mixed results. Some of the results are hilarious, like Booth admitting he goes commando and pretty much everything that went on between Hodgins and Wendell.
Hodgins and Angela seem to be the only ones who benefit from the all-truth, all-the-time, policy. I think without it they may not have been as open about how much they were both worried about their baby and that would have been very sad. It’s much better that they got it out into the open so that they could be there for each other, rather than each trying to hide how they felt from the other.
As for Bones, well she tells the truth all the time anyway, so the real fun of this episode came from watching everyone else be more like her for a little while. Booth keeps everything pretty close to the chest so it wasn’t too surprising that he didn’t let much loose. Comments about underwear aside, the only real truth Bones got out of him was about he felt about her being there to support him when he broke up with Hannah. He said the reason he didn’t tell her was hard to explain and I wonder if that’s because he didn’t want to give Bones the wrong impression as it’s pretty obvious he’s not ready for another relationship yet. Maybe he was worried about leading her on and inadvertently hurting her feelings, which would be just like him.
My favorite bits..
Sweets pointing out that of course Angela should simply enjoy his company as he is very charming.
Angela referring to Hodgins’ morning routine as her “shoe ceremony.”
Thinking that Booth should really know better by now. Don’t we all know by now that when Hodgins gets excited, you probably don’t want to look at whatever he’s about to pick up, as it’s sure to be disgusting.
Booth congratulating Hodgins and Bones on the “poop clues.”
Boy, the next time I blow somebody off on my cell phone, I am definitely gonna make sure I let it ring through all the way. Who knew that everyone could recognize a pre- complete-ring-off when it happened?
The way Booth said “the vibe.”
Sweets shock and Booth’s delight when they were watching the tape of the victim getting slammed in the face by an award. Ouch.
You know, normally those product placements are awkward at best but the one for Bones’ car wasn’t too bad at all. Heck they even managed to make a joke about it. Nicely done.
Finding out that Hodgins once planned Wendell’s murder.
Booth completely freaking out when the clown walked into the room.
Bones’ reaction to finding out that sometimes Booth went commando when he ran out of clean underwear. *gigglesnort*
The clown calling Booth a baby.
Sweets trying to ask for a prostitutes contact information professionally.
The clown referring to a fart as an “honest bodily function” and then asking if it was important that he ate broccoli. LOL!
Hodgins and Angela finally talking about what was worrying her and ending it, as always, with a stronger declaration of their love. Aw.
Wendell actually thinking he was going to surprise Bones by telling her she was abrasive? Ha!
Wendell telling Hodgins that he looked like a flying squirrel. Bwahaha!
Angela asking Hodgins to tie her shoe and then asking if the tops of her feet looked fat. LOL.
Hey now, I happen to have a good friend who’s a lawyer so I took a little umbrage at the “there’s no such thing as an honest lawyer” joke.
Booth and Bones toasting to one more clown off the streets.
