I was happy Booth got through to the boy at the end. It was such a great scene,.

He needed that prospective because who knew what the future would be. And he would be on the hook for a lot of child support if any of the women came to collect. Especially if life doesn't go as the girls think it might...

**msstock87** · 04-22-2020, 12:38 PM

He needed that prospective bad. I remember being shocked when I first saw this episode.

Jasper1975 · 04-23-2020, 07:28 AM

The way the episode presented the situation. I could see any of them coming to collect, especially if they needed money to support the child, or if life started to hit at them...

I know they went to upping the drama. Booth couldn't believe this was the guy, the girls picked. And he didn't seem to get it. Booth needed to give him the wakeup call. He might get off free from support, but given it could be anytime in the next eighteen years...

**msstock87** · 04-25-2020, 05:07 PM

They could come after him at any time, and who knows how he might feel later on in life. He may feel like he wants a connection to his kids.

Jasper1975 · 04-26-2020, 12:02 PM

Because one never knows how life will treat him. Will this be the only kids, and he'll want one day to know them? He needed the wake up call because he was treated it like it was nothing...

**msstock87** · 05-06-2020, 01:38 PM

Exactly. He could wake up one day and want to be in their lives too.

Jasper1975 · 01-30-2022, 11:47 AM

Interesting case. Thankfully Booth woke the kid up to the realities of the situation. Given the girls were looking for money. What if, down the line their lives don't work out as they think. And he will have to pay up for three kids.

Right now they want a unattached father. But down the line.

Interesting fight between Cam and Brennan over the body, and how Cam did get some answers.

I loved the ending scene with Booth waking up the boy to the reality of the situation. He needed it badly.

Jasper1975 · 02-03-2022, 11:05 AM

Definitely, because who knows what the future would be and given the girls were already looking for money. Eventually they might decide to seek out child support. Probably because he was not the "pretty boy", people ignore him so he was wiling to help, but he needed a wake up to the fact he has three children now, whether he was involved or not.

**msstock87** · 02-05-2022, 02:01 PM

Exactly. No matter what, he was the father of those kids. He would be paying for those kids the rest of their lives and he might want to be more involved someday.

I love Brennan´s weirdness

Oh and Angela and Sweets undercover where fun to watch

Yes to all

I also liked the little moment from Angela and Hodgins.

I always liked Booth waking up the kid up to the reality of parenting at the end.

**BlackWhiteRose** · 12-17-2022, 12:51 PM

Booth is great at this.

**msstock87** · 12-17-2022, 08:21 PM

He was. He knew just what to say.
