This might be in my top 15 favourite episodes of the entire show. The presence of Gordon Gordon would lift any episode up but seeing him interrogate a suspect with Sweets and getting offended by the term "fry cook" is absolute perfection. Not to mention, him point blank telling Booth that he is in love with Brennan and his little conversation in the diner with Angela. It's so great to see a side character make such an impact every time they come back, no matter how infrequent.
Stephen Fry and B&B aside, one of the fun things I love about this episode are all the little Simpsons references/Easter Eggs throughout. Some are a bit more obvious than others, the Bumble Bee Man being one of the wrestlers' names, for example, but it's still a fun game to spot them all during a rewatch.
Something else I noticed about this episode that may or may not be connected to the Simpsons thing, I haven't looked into it, is that there are many interruptions during exposition scenes. Like, in that scene with Cam and Hodgins in his/Zack's 'Ookie Room', someone comes in with something for Hodgins to sign and then it happens again, thrice, with Cam and VNM in the Bone Room later on. It might be nothing but I feel like it happened too often to be ignored.
Didn't care too much about the case, but that happens with most episodes that aren't part of serial killer storylines, for me at least.
Anyway, great episode, great special guest stars, great final B&B scene.10/10.
