A classic rather than an excellent episode, although I find it hard to put my finger on why this is the case. On the surface, all the pieces for a great episode are there, but somehow the parts don't seem to fit together very well.
The story is pulled in many directions at once. The book reporter, the Dr Sweets storyline, the case, Hodgins and Angela are dancing around each other, and the Bones and Booth normal quick-stepping. While this episode opens with a fast-paced start, it all too soon slows down the pace and never seems to get going after that. There are a few bright spots, as always.
There is a touching scene between Bones and Angela when Bones gives her a cheque to help her edit her books. Better late than never, there, Bones.
Dr Sweet's unromantic proposal to Daisy in the Bone room, oh come on, Sweets! For a guy that we are told understands the human condition, surely he would know that proposing to a woman in her place of work is not the most romantic of places to pop the question.
On a side note, did you see the look that Booth gives Bones when he enters her apartment?
Nice touch that, for the first time, Bones understands that Booth is making a joke and doesn't say that she doesn't know what he means.
