THE Plan

This morning started off as planned.  Well, maybe a bit earlier than planned..  like 6am early!    I totally blame it on the sun that shines through my bedroom window and lands directly on my face!  It’s a good thing I am a restless sleeper, or I would be walking around half tanned from the nose up (cos from the nose down I am ALWAYS covered in blankets – actually in winter, my nose is the only part of my body that sticks out from under the covers!  It’s quite a talent actually)

Anyway, the plan was to get myself up, get the kids up, get everyone dressed and fed, go fetch Miss Daisy (um.. I mean Pet), bring her back to my place, get the kids occupied in another room and watch Bones.  THE episode of Bones!  It was all going as planned until we got back to my place and my 4 year old decided to attach himself to my leg.  Yep, kid radar – seriously, any other day of the week they are quite happy to occupy themselves with blocks, puzzles or the Little Einsteins so that I can get some work done, before taking them out to various activities.  This morning, however, my son was not having any of it!  So, we had to find a plan B (something we had not prepared for!). When my hubby phoned and said he was finished work early (sweet as!), plan B was in motion!  Hubby would come home, take the kids out and we could watch Bones!  THE episode of Bones! 

Unfortunately, the kids were not having any of that either!  Now they decided that they wanted to relax a bit at home, in the lounge, with the TV (yeah, all that hanging on my leg must have tired them out), so we found ourselves in desperate need of a plan C!   So, after a bit of frantic brainstorming, we came up with a brilliant idea: phone Mom!  Long story, and long phone call, short – we left the kidlets with my hubby and ran over to Mom’s place armed with THE episode of Bones!

I really, really enjoyed this episode!  I absolutely love Arnold Vosloo (Howzit Boet!)  Loved the return of pre-Hannah Booth, loved the English Squintern, loved Angela – hell, I even liked Hodgins in this one!  In the scene where Boetie was selecting his next victim, and all the squints were shown as possible targets, Mom, Pet and I were selecting which ones we loved, and which ones we could probably do without!  Mom decided Cam could go, Pet was busy eating the niknaks (cos she knew, as did I, who was going to be taking a dirt nap pretty soon) and I was all “nooo, he/she can’t die, I love her/him!"  Eventually mom pointed out that I seem to love all of them – I think, in a way, she called me a Bones-whore!  If the k-swiss fits huh?

Anyway, I did expect a leeetle bit more from the bed scene – but I am not disappointed!  However, my Hodgins love only lasted until he interrupted Bones just as she was about to tell Angela what exactly happened after she “crawled into bed with Booth!”  Asshole!  But, I like that we don’t know!  I like that we are kept guessing and this leaves room for the writers to have us searching for moments in future episodes!  My Bones love is back baby!  

Pet firmly believes that they did the dirty, but I am still on the fence on this!   I kind of hope they didn’t, and that this was just the first step to getting closer, to ‘feeling’ their way and that, in the next season (or episode) we get some on-screen sex.  Yes, I am shameless!  Although, I did enjoy the X-Files guessing game.  Searching for all possible clues and moments after ‘All Things’, which is the episode that most X-Philes believe to be the ONE!  Looking forward to more Bones moments!
