Bones 8.6: Veteran's Day

A powerful one-of-a-kind Bones 8.6 tonight, in more ways than one.

There's a convocation of interns, all assembled by Bones to help identify some of the many unidentified remains at the Jeffersonian.  Bones has read Phil Jackson's book, and she's all enthused about the possibilities of team play.  She even slaps the "hindquarters" (her word) of each of the assembled interns.   This is about as funny as the show gets.

The victim is apparently just a homeless man, but the hard work of the interns and everyone else identifies him as a Desert Storm vet.  And he turns out to be much more than that.  He's a 9/11 hero, who saved three lives against all odds when the Pentagon was hit, and then died alone, 10 days later, of a cracked rib that bent inward do to his heroic live-saving exertions.

All of this gives the interns a chance to each talk about their 9/11 experiences - where they were on that day, and how it affected them.  Arastoo is especially moved, being Muslim, and feeling deeply that the terrorist attack in additional to everything else hijacked his religion.  Cam was working in the coroner's office in NYC, and she was of course profoundly affected, too.

But Bones, as it often does, saves the most profound for last.  Bones unexpectedly starts crying back home with her "mate" (her word for Booth), and tells him and us that she too worked after 9/11 in New York, digging after the towers fell.  She tried to be strong, and didn't cry then.  But now, because of Booth, she can finally cry.

What an ending, to a beautiful Veteran's Day show, which could also be shown somewhere every September 11.
