Cam finally has Hank back in his coffin. The funeral director peers over and asks where Hank's glasses are. Damn! We left them at the lab. Erin comes in to pay her final respects. Franklin stalls long enough for Cam to pull out her own sunglasses and put them on the corpse. With a final adjustment to the body's mouth to make him smile, Cam steps away. Erin takes a peek and says that Franklin did a fine job; Hank looks happy. Um, thanks?
Bones and Booth confront the widow about her eulogy speech. She specifically said that she brewed Hank's tea every morning. She says she lied; Hank was too particular about how his tea was made so he did it himself.
As the squints drive home, they have no idea how to find the translator or who it could be. Hank was cheating, the widow was cheating. Cam's primary concern is still how she can get Michelle to stop smoking. Booth gives her some parental advice; if she stops, Michelle will stop. But that doesn't answer their question.
Bones has an idea. What if they tricked the poisoner by brewing the tea and having everyone at the graveside service have a cup in Hank's honor? Only the translator would know the tea was poisoned and would thus reveal himself or herself by refusing to drink the tea! That may be the dumbest thing Hodgins has ever heard. I'm starting to agree with the judge who declined the injuction because if her plots are this bad, heaven help her fans. Booth, though, loyal to the end, thinks it is a fabulous idea.
At the graveside, Bones pops up and says she didn't get a chance to say goodbye at the wake. She says she would like everyone to have a cup of Hank's favourite tea as a final send off. Everyone is about to drink, when Hank's mom knocks the cup from Barney's hand. Booth is shocked. "You poisoned your own son?" Hank was her step-son. Barney is her real son. Erin says that it is all her fault. The lunch meeting was to inform Hank that the mother was siphoning money from the trust fund to give to Barney. The mom says the lawyer should have minded her own business. She takes a suck on her O2 tank and continues. "It doesn't matter now. Hank is dead. What's the worst that could happen?"
Five days later...
Booth and Bones console Barney at his mother's graveside. She died because she used her medications to poison Hank and then didn't have her pills when she needed them. Ah, fate.
As they leave the cemetary, Booth asks for a favour. When he's dead and gone, he wants Bones to come visit him sometimes. Even though she'd feel foolish, she shockingly agrees. He wants to know why. Because you asked her too, twit! No, says Bones, because it would give her a chance to look at herself through his eyes and try to live up to what he thought of her. Booth says that is the nicest thing anybody's ever said to him. Then he asks for another favour. Before they put him in the ground, he wants her to make sure he's dead. That is one promise the ever-practical Bones is happy to make.
The SHOW is really putting me off with the "Bones is a social misfit and dumber than a brick" bit. And practising her "sad" face…I literally did a *facepalm*.
I haven't seen Lost in Translation, but I got a bit of a Little Miss Sunshine vibe with the body stealing :)
I don't know what I missed- Cam has a daughter? Has she always had a daughter?
On a completely shallow note- Hodgins has the most beautiful eyes, doesn't he?
WooHoo for another great recap! How are the hands holding up? ;)

Thank God, almost caught up.
Cam adopted the daughter of an ex-flame a couple episodes back (Doctor in the Den) after the girl's father was killed.
I haven't seen "Little Miss Sunshine".
Hodgins's speech was magnificent. There is no other word for it. Well, maybe hilarious.
I can't speak. They had Bones practice her "sad" face, and then aired the next episode. I'm dying here. DYING!
