Bones

Welcome to the Bones season 5 recap.  I know a lot of people weren’t happy about the season 4 finale (I liked it though), but I assure you that Bones is back in top form.  We open with a psychic, Avalon (played by guest star Cyndi Lauper) reading tarot cards for Brennan.  Turns out this is Angela’s psychic, and I think she picked up Brennan from the airport and brought her to talk to Avalon.  Brennan’s been in Guatemala for six weeks and she has no time for Avalon’s cards - even if Avalon is accurately describing Booth, his coma and his dream about being married to Brennan.

Booth is in Sweet’s office, trying to convince him that he’s back to normal.  Boreanaz is wearing a nice t-shirt that shows off his awesome biceps and I lament the fact that they put him in long-sleeved suits so often in this show.  More t-shirts!  And more scruffy facial hair.  The man is working it.  We also learn his middle name is Joseph.  Sweets agrees to certify Booth as fit for duty and then hands him his gun and badge.  Booth cocks his gun and puts it in his pocket and for some inexplicable reason it’s a totally hot move.

But back to the park, where Angela is explaining Booth’s recent coma and his dream to Avalon.  Avalon asks if Brennan was pregnant in her book (that she read to Booth) and Brennan just gets exasperated and leaves.  Avalon says that Brennan’s at a critical turning point between great happiness and death (but maybe not literal death).

Brennan arrives back at the Jeffersonian and greets Cam and Hodgins, who are both happy to see her back.  Brennan goes into her office and finds Booth resting on her couch.  The two hug and they’re very happy to see each other.  Angela enters the office to say that there are some bodies buried under the Teversham fountain, at least according to Avalon.  When Booth finds out that Avalon is a pyschic, he’s skeptic.  Angela says that Avalon said Booth and Brennan were linked and Brennan was pregnant.  Obviously Booth didn’t tell anyone about the baby from his dream, so when Angela tells him this he tells Brennan that they should look into the fountain situation.
