So in this episode, Booth and Brennan have to travel back to her old high school so they can solve a murder. In order to find out who did it, Booth thinks they should go undercover - as husband and wife!

This is significant since it's done right after the episode where they finally admit to their feelings. They talk about how difficult this case could be with what had just happened. Booth's feelings for Brennan are so strong that he doesn't think he can even dance with her...and he states that "we both agreed not to..." That's untrue - Booth wanted it, but Brennan rejected him!

I found it interesting that they used terms of endearment during this episode when all the years they've been together, I don't recall once that they used one single term of endearment on the other - I always find that rather odd...

Then there's the whole Angela/Wendell/Jack thing. I like all three of these people, but personally there's only one couple here. We know who that is, and thankfully we won't have to wait much longer for that to happen! One of my favorite scenes is when Jack spills the beans and runs to Angela to apologize in advance...

This is one of my favorite episodes. Not only do Booth and Brennan tell about their first meeting, which explains a lot about their relationship; but we watch Booth take a big step in the direction of deepening their relationship.

At the end of this episode, Booth makes an awesome move and an awesome speech. Brennan's reason for rejecting him is heart-breaking and totally Brennan. We watch as they both admit how they feel about the other, but watch one of them deny the happiness they could have together. Both are crying at the end of the episode, and so am I!

Aside from that, it was awesome seeing Zack Addy once again.

This episode turns things - first for the worse, then for the better.

Booth is finally able to say that he loves Brennan. But...

After four years of everyone knowing it - I mean, the whole office and especially Sweets...Now they are saying that he may not really love her? That confused me!

I understand why the writers had such a hard time actually putting these two together. That's what's keeping the show alive. Fans come back watching just for that reason. I've watched many shows (Who's the Boss comes to mind) where the show simply goes away once our need for the romance to come actually happens. It's sort of like - there's nothing left.

But...and here's the spoiler...I think the show was great once they got together up to a point. Once they were married, the writer's/directors/whoever seemed to say "old married couple - we no longer have to show them in love. That was unfortunate.

I believe that this episode is the only episode in all the eleven seasons where Booth actually uses a term of endearment for Brennan. In all the time they are together as a couple, you never hear "Honey, Sweetheart, Baby..." Here, as he holds Brennan while she's bleeding, he calls her "Baby." That's disappointing that Bones is his affectionate word for her even after they are married...

The ending was a big disappointment. Booth chickened out and changed what he was going to say. I was very disappointed in the man!

This is the second episode involving the Gravedigger, and the second episode involving Booth's brother. Evidence has gone missing, and there are only three people left from the original story who could have taken it. The Gravedigger kidnaps Booth until said evidence is returned.

Things I liked:

Brennan gets to save Booth There's a hung involved int he reunion The storyline is okay, yet creepy

Things I don't like: The ghost. It's so not Booth, and worse - in a later episode, Brennan easily explains it, BUT since she also so the ghost, there's a flaw in her logic.

Jack's stealing evidence: He got in no trouble for this.

Jarod's punishment: Yet, Jarrod was severely punished.

This episode is about a young OCD man who's body was cut into 12...er...13 pieces and tossed in a pool of water. The team works hard to figure out who did this. The answer is really very shocking. It takes a special person to find out the truth.

Zack appears in this episode (and one more after this at the end of the season). Jack helps Zack by asking him to look over the evidence and see if he can figure anything out. Booth is not happy to see Zack. I suspect Booth is still mad that he broke Brennan's heart, but that's just what I suspect...Whatever the case, he makes a big confession that could change his life, but he swears Sweets to keep it secret. Sweets, as far as I know, took it to the grave with him.

Booth is on a protective kick for Dr. Brennan (which could be another reason he was so rude to Zack). He jumps in to defend her several times, and she puts him in his place quite well. At the end, they help each other out - it was sweet.
