In this episode of Bones, titled “The Twist in the Twister”, the team comes across a body that has been sucked up into a tornado. This leads to some fun moments, such as when Bones, Booth and Sweets end up nearly getting sucked up into another tornado themselves.
In the background of the murder investigation, there were two other stories going on. First there is the fact that Angela and Hodgins’ baby Michael apparently won’t sleep. Leaving his poor momma dozing off in the lab and his poor papa hyped up on caffeine. When Angela’s dad comes into town and wants to spend time with his grandson, the two of them are wary, afraid that the old rocker will further mess up the baby’s routine. In the end though, he turns out to bring exactly what the little one needs to sleep soundly – loud blues music.
Meanwhile Booth is getting more and more protective of Bones and I’m sorry if this makes me sound like less of a feminist, but I sort of agreed with him on some points. Brennan has to remember she’s carrying another life now and maybe she should pay attention to that. He may have been taking things a bit far trying to pick her up at a crime scene and insisting she wear slippers so as not to get splinters in her feet at home, but I thought he was pretty on target with trying to keep her out of a tornado. Lying may not have been the best idea, but I did understand the sentiment.
My favorite bits..
You know, something tells me that poor girl is never going to set foot in a camp again.
Seriously, can that baby get ANY cuter?? So in love with baby Michael.
Booth and Bones inadvertently putting on quite a show for all the people working the crime scene.
Fisher grading his latest nut house using (what else?) nuts.
“Apparently our baby believes that sleep is only for the weak.”
“The woman smiles when she chews.” – Now that’s a talent.
Fisher declaring that their victim had had a very bad day. To be fair, wouldn’t that describe all of their victims?
Angela trying to get on the platform with a yogurt card while Hodgins was a flying high on caffeine.
Wondering why Hodgins and Angela wouldn’t let Michael go with his grandpa. If gramps gets him wound up during the day, won’t he sleep at night?
“Are you that good when you lie to me?”
“I don’t know, I’ve never tried.”
“Smart boy.”
Eight months? Wait. Didn’t Angela say that Michael was six months old in last week’s episode? Boy, time sure is flying on this show.
“Hey, the only difference between try and triumph is a little umph.” – Haha! Love it.
“Human sexuality is a gem with innumerable facets.” – That is probably the nicest way I’ve ever heard someone say “people are freaks.”
Hodgins rocking his particulates to sleep. Aw.
“That was supposed to be a whistle. My tongue’s covered with cheese.” – I hate it when that happens.
Fisher and Hodgins sneaking into the trailer like naughty little boys.
Wow, suddenly I feel like I’m watching the movie Twister again. I kept waiting for a cow to fly by.
Booth and Bones conducting an interrogation in the middle of a tornado.
Hodgins inventing something called the “Sleepy Time Cyclone.”
Another great montage to another great song.
“Our victim was killed by a friendly rainbow water bottle.” – Sure doesn’t sound friendly to me.
“You befriended my mother so you could have sex with me?”
“Pretty much.”
Angela and Hodgins discovering that their baby likes the blues. LOL.
Booth asking Bones to support his delusion.
