Hiya Bones Booth Pod!
I know this isn't necessarily a bottle episode but it has that kind of feel to it and I love it so so much. Caroline, a limited time to solve the murder, Hodgela, B&B, Angela and Roxie, all of it is just perfect.
Also, Charlotte, the murder-obsessed lady sitting next to Booth on the plane, was great, she really stole the show for me.
Booth, like the chancer he is, tries to get into first class and sit with Brennan twice at the beginning of the episode which is very in character and entertaining.
Hearing all the Jeffersonian team's weekend plans was very interesting, especially Sweets with his competitive karaoke, and so was Hodgins and Sweets' little back and forth about Angela and Roxie.
Since murder follows them wherever they go, B&B find a body on their flight to China and have to solve it within a matter of hours before jurisdiction becomes a bit messy.
Brennan trying to communicate with Kate the flight attendant right after she finds the body is absolutely hilarious. "Bones, she's in shock not deaf" will always get me.
Not sure if I wanted or needed to know that Booth has a librarian fantasy/kink but that scene was pure gold, in particular when Brennan did what Booth told her to do once he left the room.
That little Hodgela moment where they almost say "I love you" to each other is so upsetting, since it's obvious that they're both still harbouring feelings for one another despite how much time since their break-up has passed. And the conversation that followed that was perfect. Firstly, Hodgins not invalidating Angela and Roxie's relationship was really great, and definitely showed how much he's grown since season 1. Second, Angela explicitly stating that she can fall in love with both men and women is just !!
Caroline is all over this episode and brings so much to every scene she's in as always.
Angela asking Roxie to move in with her was definitely way too quick. Maybe she's just forcing herself to move on from Hodgins by trying to prove to Roxie that she's all in and taking such a massive step so early in their relationship. Whatever the reason behind it is, Roxie rejects her proposal and they decide to just see where things go before taking it to the next level.
Overall, a very strong episode. Completely insane and could never happen in real life but I love it anyway. 10/10.
