We shake our fists at DirecTv for failing on Fox Thursday night, because it was damn inconvenient watching this online. But we did it! There was some super spy work going on, diamonds, encoded information, intrigue, etc. All fine and good and interesting.
More interesting was the fact that Wendell, our favorite intern of the week, had lost his scholarship. He’s from a poor rough and tumble neighborhood (in Boston, I think?), and there’s no way he could keep the internship at the Jeffersonian without that scholarship (or “the miracle” as his Mom calls it). While the gang all tip-toes around it, avoiding telling him for as long as possible, Brennan tells him that he’ll be missed and that it’s been a pleasure working with him, etc., not realizing that this is all news to him. Ohhhh, Bones. After exploring all other funding opportunities, there they could find the money to keep his funding going. By the end of the episode (oh, and by the way, he totally should have been King of the Lab this week), they were all saying their goodbyes. Just as he’s about to leave, Cam runs in to tell him that there scholarship received an anonymous donation that allows him to continue the rest of his education. As it turns out, there were enough anonymous donations for 3 scholarships. Thanks Hodgins and Brennan! And maybe Cam? Not Angela – she packs her own lunch, girl ain’t got that kind of money.
In the squee department this week, Booth needs to fix his plumbing and refuses to pay a plumber to do what he is perfectly capable of doing. The trouble is that he doesn’t remember any of the plumbing knowledge that he had before the coma. Convinced that he can figure it out, he tries to get a Plumbing for Dummies book, but the bookstore was sold out. Sweets convinces Brennan to have Booth teach her how to fix pipes, because it would be good for him and their relationship. She finds him the book, but expects to be reimbursed so that his pride isn’t injured. His pride would much rather save $6. The end of the episode has a very sweet moment between them under the sink fixing his pipes, which of course ends with water everywhere.
