Episode description:

Quote:

When Booth's son Parker finds a severed corpse finger in a bird's nest while playing with Booth, the team launches an investigation to find the rest of the body. They locate the corpse in Jefferson Memorial Park, and it soon becomes clear that the death was no accident. With the help of a new middle-aged grad student in the lab (guest star Michael Badalucco), the team identifies the victim as a local veterinarian whose penchant for gambling brings a number of suspects into the picture. When the victim's fatal injuries are found to be from a dog, the team uncovers an illegal dog fighting ring and enlists the help of Cesar Millan to help them connect the forensic canine evidence with the killer dog and its owner. Meanwhile, Booth asks Sweets to psychoanalyze his son who he thinks has been traumatized from finding the finger, and Sweets confronts Hodgins about his attitude in the lab in "The Finger in the Nest" episode of BONES airing Wednesday, Sept. 17 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

4x04 The Finger in the Nest

LOVED the eppy as a whole. Had a great character balance with so many focuses this week.

Cute opening sequence with Parker and Booth. Loved the interaction.

And ha ha ha that Hodgins and the older grad student had a past!

Ahhhhh, “I’d say King of the Lab, but that just depresses me” … poor Hodgins.

And LOVED that Booth brought Sweets in to talk about Parker and make sure he’s okay. LOVED how Booth kept telling Sweets

Brennan talking about discovering her neighbor’s body when she was young.
Brennan: I’m alright.
Booth: You spent your life with skeletons.

at Brennan running the opossum off! And Booth being “ranger rick” and being told to go get it! And Booth and Brennan arguing over “Opossum” versus “possum” LMAO!

LOVED the Sweets/Hodgins interaction … they way that Sweets tried to get Hodgins to “open up” to him about his “intense distress”. And Sweets noticed how less paranoid and less vain Jack is.

And this new “old grad student” having all these odd jobs and knowing so much! HILARIOUS! And how Hodgins didn’t like him due to the history.

that Booth thought the white Pomeranian was a cat, and called him Fido. And Brennan being all “may I hold your dog why you cry?” and “he’s so compact” … I think she was fascinated with the little Pom! And the dog barked at Booth when he got close to him!

And did you all see how Booth was all protective of Bones when Hodgins had “tone” over the phone toward his Brennan? LOVED it!

And Booth pulling a gun out in the interrogation room when the dog barked/growled! He wasn’t going to shoot the dog, but the drug dealer!

“the crack FBI team” … I loved how brunt Jack was this whole episode. Then when Jack went off on the old

Booth talks about Parker having nightmare about singing frog, Brennan mentioned she has dreams about bananas and it just is about bananas.
Then she mentioned how she pretended to die after having found the body.
Booth: But otherwise you were fine.
Brennan: Yeah.
Booth: Do you dream about bananas a lot?
Brennan: Why? Can we get out of the car now?

Booth to Brennan and Angela: You two don’t get all Xena Warrior Princess on me!

Parker to Sweets: Are you my babysitter?
Sweets: Parker, that is exactly what I am.
Loved how Booth was typical Booth expecting an instant cure to his problem with Parker, and just dropping Parker off to Sweets to solve.

And that scene with Jack and Angela? The genius one? AMAZING! They were so natural in their old tried and true way of praising, then the moment of realization that it wasn’t the same anymore. So sad.

Booth: Okay people. What we’re looking for is evidence of a dog-fighting operation. Mr. Millan, thank you so much for coming.
Cesar: Hope I can help.
Brennan: I've seen you on TV
Cesar: Thank you
Brennan: I only stated a fact. There's nothing inherently complimentary about being in television.
Booth: She's happy you're here. So am I

And poor Brennan was very upset by the dog bones.

Cesar silences the dogs after he shows Booth and Brennan all the critters.
Brennan: How does he do that?
Booth: He’s a dog whisperer. <mimics Cesar with the ssht and the motions>
Brennan: It didn’t do anything!

And

at Brennan not being able to ssht the dogs in the lab. Despite trying.

Ahhhhhhhhh and Jack opened up to the old grad student. And you could tell he missed Zach so much. And Angela. Poor Jack.

And Sweets figuring out the Parker has a “girl problem”. Ha ha! The big girl carrying him around like a monkey at recess. And awww … Parker told Sweets proudly that his dad never ran away from anything. Awww.

Booth is upset that Brennan has the dog, Ripley, on her lap.
Brennan: (to Booth) He reminds me of you
Booth: Of me?
Brennan: He's got warm and reassuring brown eyes and he’s capable of great violence.
Booth: Oh great. Thanks a million.

And Jack went to Sweets for help. LOVED that scene. How Jack literally had a reason to hate everyone. Brennan for bringing them all together. Booth for giving them a mission. Etc. And how Sweets was “good with the hate” and how he was okay with it because hate was a coping mechanism.
Jack: Are you my therapist now?
Sweets: No we work together.
Jack: Great. We’ll see you at work!

Brennan shows up at Booth’s office. Case talk.

Booth sees something in her purse/bag.
Booth: So what have you go there?
Brennan: I’ve decided to adopt Ripley. <talks about the dog’s goodness>
Booth: Bones!
She shows him his little doggie tag that says Ripley Brennan.
Booth: He was put down
Brennan: What?
Booth: I’m sorry, he killed someone and they had to put him down
Brennan argues …
Booth: I know I’m sorry
Brennan: You can tell he’s a good nature dog. They put him down?
Booth: Yeah
Brennan: Dammit
Booth: Bones – I’m sorry
Brennan: What are they going to do with his remains?
Cut to scene in a forest and Booth re-covering a grave with a shovel.
Brennan: Hey Booth can I do that?
Booth: You sure?
Brennan: Yeah – you dug it.
Takes shovel and continues covering the dog’s grave.
Brennan: So did Sweets help you with Parker?
Booth: Yea – I told Parker it’s best just to walk away sometimes
They argue about sometimes vs all the time. Booth says he told Parker to “Stand up and fight if it’s for someone else” and Brennan pauses ..
Brennan: You’re a very good father
Booth: So do you want to say something?
Brennan <Speaking to Booth> Well I feel that this dog Ripley paid a price that was unfair …
They argue about how she’s talking to him, she needs to talk to the universe.
Booth: God spelled backward is dog
Brennan: Well Ripely is dead plus he’s a dog with limited vocabulary skills
Booth: Bones just speak from your heart
Brennan: On behalf of human kind universe I’d like to apolg for what happen to ripley he was born a cute little puppy –
Booth: That’s good
Brennan speaks more.
Brennan: Ripley was a good dog
Booth Nods
Brennan: He didn’t want to fight but he did it to please his master <she gets teary, talks more> Dogs are like that. People should take a lesson.
Puts the Ripley tag on top the grave.
Brennan: Is that enough?
Booth: Yeah, as much as any good dog could hope for. Even with limited vocabulary skills
She cries a bit, and he offers her his shoulder and she leans on him and he hugs her.

So we see we got hug

Thanks Karen for transcribing it

SharTheLove · 09-18-2008, 05:55 AM

It was a good episode, I was tunning in and out but the episode was good. Booth cracks me up, loved when they dog crawled at him.

***Wildfire Girl*** · 09-18-2008, 06:47 AM

I just loved the whole thing. It had such a great balance, overall, between all the characters, dealing with Zack, dealing with JA, and of course BB ...

wywy86 · 09-18-2008, 08:14 AM

Going to watch it soon

Can't wait and I see everyone has been sporting the ending scene
