MacsGirlMel, she's referring to the upcoming episode, "The Man in the Mansion," I think. At least, that's what it sounds like she's talking about!
2x16 Spoilers "The Boneless Bride in the River"
This one is incredibly hard to follow. The pages aren't really linear, this time. They're sorata all over the place, so I'm only getting part of the story.
Basically, Bones and Sully are on vacation on what I assume is a house boat. Booth keeps showing up asking for their help, and Booth and Bones are not getting along at the beginning. She keeps bringing up his therapy, and he tells her he liked her better when she was sexually frustrated.
Our usually over-the-top scientist Bones is giving way to Sully's influence, and the influence of having a steady boyfriend. She's starting to loosen up, something that a fellow anthropologist sees as an issue, and warns her about ruining herself as a scientist.
The case involves, as said before, the skin of a dead woman. She was brought over here on a "Fiance Visa" to marry a young man obsessed with all things Chinese and oriental. However, when Booth starts to talk to the guy, the guy freaks out and pulls out some major marshal arts as he bounds out the window and down the fire escape "Jackie Chan" style. I'm not kidding. It's really bizarre.
So, after some tracing, it turns out that this young woman was not your average fiance. She was a mail order bride, brought over by a woman who runs a company specializing in Russian and Chinese mail order brides, among others. She matches people on 200 points, but Bones thinks that's not nearly enough, and is fully convinced that the groom to be who ran off is the murderer.
Also in the midst of this is an ancient tradition and culture regarding the burial of unmarried men. It's quite intriguing, and is what brings in the other anthropologist. I actually think that side of the story is more engaging to me than the actual murder.
Very little squints in the pages I have. It's mostly Booth, Brennan and Sully. And, before you think Sully and Booth are fighting it out about Brennan, they two of them are getting along great. They even exchange giggles at one point. Bones, of course, disapproves of their laughing.
One heartbreaking moment to me is when the three of them are in pursuit of the suspect (husband to be) and Bones rushes off with Sully, leaving Booth alone, to which he says, to himself, that he likes working alone. Aw. Booth misses his girl. I guess we'll see how long this Sully/Bones storyline lasts, but I think this is the third or fourth script with him involved... so, he's around for a bit. I don't really like seeing him in every script. It sorta imposes on the rhythm of the show. I mean, Tessa was pretty constant, but we didn't see a lot of her since she was a lawyer. With Sully being a fellow agent, he's involved a lot, and I'd rather he just be a background character. We don't need a male version of Cam wandering around.
rant over.
