Hannah - played by beautiful Katheryn Winnick - is beautiful, bright, and courageous. She risked her life covering the war in Afghanistan, and Booth met her when he saved her life (which Bones may think is what ignited Hannah's feelings for Booth). Angela has to warn Hodgins to stop "drooling" over Hannah. We can well understand Booth's attraction to her, if not (quite yet) his professed love.
How does Hannah measure up against Bones? Well, no one can have Bones' genius, complexity, innocence and allure. But Booth has discovered, more than once, when he tries to move his relationship with Bones to another level, that she puts on the breaks. This will make Booth loath to leave Hannah, unless Bones once and for all wants to be with him, and even then, it's not clear what Booth would do.
I'm therefore thinking that Hannah's going to be around for more than a few episodes, and when she and Booth break up it will be her doing, not his.
Meanwhile, back at the lab, everyone's in fine form, including Dr. Edison, who comes up with an important piece of the puzzle after Bones chides him for accepting her initial quick-take premises too quickly. Cam in turn chided Bones for being too tough on Edison, because Cam thinks Bones is acting out her frustration and jealousy over Hannah. Bones of course denies that motive, and says she was only trying to prod Edison to perform at a more effective level, which he does.
Cam apologizes to Bones, but she must know that she was right. We the viewers certainly do .... One of the charms of Bones the series, as I often say, is seeing what is patently clear to us and all the other characters on the show except Bones and Booth.

I watched all five seasons of Bones in the past four months. The season opener of 6 was pretty close to the worst episode that I've seen. "Couple in the Cave" was almost as bad. Unfortunately, the actress playing Hannah is really not pulling it off. I almost said "a terrible actress," but I think it has a lot to do with her character being poorly conceived/written.
OK. I loved this episode.
With ALL my HEART.
and I agree with you too. Also I LIKE HANNAH!!!!
The only thing I would add is David Boreanaz’s acting was stellar. The subtlety, the looks… he had ‘em all too. People were just watching ED closer and I think they missed alot of his performance.
TRULY ALL AROUND I think it was CLEVER AS HELL ACTING and storytelling from everyone.
Booth is going from a war zone back to RL and heres the thing? Booth didnt think she’d (Hannah) be coming back, he’d thought he’d “lost out” again but that what they’d had out there was awesome and healing and NEW. and now? Its like WHOA. I get to be happy? Really? Its almost like he cant believe pieces of his life are working out…
Also , YES!!! I think he’s HEARING the stuff Brennan is saying to him, he’s just not reading anything into her words anymore.
BOOTH is holding himself back from Brennan so tightly… If he takes her words as face value as just words without meaning behind them, just sciencey and dry then he wont be torturing himself with thoughts of what he perceives he can never have. So Brennan’s I missed you, I thought this, her looks, all of it, Booth Cannot let himself SEE them as anything other than Bones the anthropologist. Brennan is breaking my heart too but in a good way. (shit I really really shoulda formed some more coherant thoughts before typing, lol)
Brennan is aching and now shes on the outside looking in again BUT with all these years of Booth and a fuller life and she KNOWS what shes missing. and it matters. and I dont think for a single second she will crawl back into her “shell” NOT AT ALL. Here’s the thing about Brennan: to me? when it comes down to balls to wall, she’ll make the leap. she’s not gonna be able to sit back forever. She’s grown so much, changed so much. She’s got it now. GOT IT. and she will do something about it.
I have utter faith this is our season. I feel like HH and the cast and everyone is at the top of their game. The writing is phenomenal, the acting superb… this season to me feels like standing at a championship game, breath held, with your team out in full force, bound & determined to WIN.
This season will be made of the most epic win babe.
I know I keep saying it everywhere but to me? Eventually? Is NOW.
Katheryn Winnick who plays Hannah is such a great actress! Here's her FB page http://on.fb.me/cbJ9Bi
