Recap: Bones 5.01 "Harbingers in the Fountain"

bones_harbingersfountain-sc8_0035Carolyn joins Booth in his office, where he tells her that Brennan is fine.  He beats himself up about not being there for her, but Carolyn says he did good in killing Leecock.  She thinks the case is closed, but Booth thinks that Fargood is still alive and the doctor was just working for him.  Carolyn thinks this means Avalon is still a suspect.

Brennan goes to Avalon’s apartment and she does another reading for her.  Avalon tells Brennan that she was an abandoned child and she’s deeply rational to cover up her hurt feelings.  She also tells Brennan “he knows the truth of you, and he’s dazzled by that truth”.

Angela’s doing research with Sweets, trying to find Fargood and her research yields results.  Now Brennan and Booth are questioning a man named Gallow, who they believe is Fargood.  Brennan’s wearing a short-sleeved shirt and no bandage on her previously stabbed arm.  This is DRIVING ME CRAZY!  Hello, continuity error!  Gallow denies having changed his identity and Booth and Brennan go to consult with Carolyn.  Brennan believes Gallow is Fargood and Carolyn tells Booth to arrest him to buy some time.

Booth’s debriefing an FBI team, telling them to try and find the stolen van and speargun.  Breenan comes by with Avalon’s cult certificate.  Apparently Fargood put the little sticks on it himself, so now Booth wants to get Gallow’s DNA to compare to the stickers.  Booth and Brennan bring Avalon to the FBI office and put her in a waiting room with Gallow.  Avalon attacks Gallow, stratching his neck and drawing blood and Brennan quickly bags her hang and the blood for evidence.

Back at the lab, Cam confirms to Carolyn that Gallow and Fargood are the same person, but Carolyn is still concerned that they can’t pin the murders on Fargood.

On the street, Booth tells Brennan that he wants to tell her something, something inside his heart.  A clown comes over and sprays Booth with water, but instead of killing him Booth just laughs.  Brennan is shocked, telling him that he hates clowns.  Booth takes this to mean that he’s still not back to normal and tells Brennan that he loves her, but in a professional “attagirl” kind of way.  She says she loves him like that too.

Carolyn pulls up in her small car.  She tells them that they can arrest Fargood for a whole slew of other crimes, including fraud and grand theft auto.  Back at the FBI, Booth arrests Fargood and Brennan apologizes to Avalon that they couldn’t arrest Fargood for the murder of her sister.  Before she leaves, Avalon tells Booth and Brennan that her cards says this all works out eventually.  Booth seems happy to hear that.

    I liked the finale last season even though I had that WTF? moment at the end. Yes Booth needs to be in a t-shirt and jeans more often. The suits just don't do it for me. And that was so funny when he was in the back of Caroline's car. Why didn't Bones sit in the back? I guess they just wanted the funny where once again he looked like he was wearing the car.

    I am so happy with the episode…I was worried that it may be a dud like season 4 premiere. But so far, things are looking good for Bones and Booth.

    I almost died over the clown at the end (once I finished cursing it ;) )

    Thanks for the awesome recap, clarissa!

    (PS: how did I not know you lived in TO??)
