A well-played Bones 10.15 on Thursday, which took a close look at Booth's gambling problem.One of the best parts of the action was in the detective bit at the card game, where Booth lodges a charge against one of the players, to get into proximity to the telecom replay system, so Booth can synch his phone to Angela's system back at the Jefferson, so she can see what happened in the room during the past few days. It was a neat piece of action, and you don't often see such finely tuned stings in this series.
Otherwise, the main tension in the episode was whether Booth would be able to resist his urge to gamble, and do what was needed in his police work. With everyone in the Jeffersonian watching on the screen, Booth just manages to arrest the bad guy rather than place the bet. But in a chilling coda at the end of the episode, Booth places a bet with his bookie - this despite the fact that he's thrilled with Bones being pregnant, or, who knows, maybe that increases his gambler's anxiety, I'm no expert on this. What's clear is that is that the betting passion stirred at the card game had to be expressed.
We also get some good support from Aubrey on this, who does his (unsuccessful) best to keep Booth away from the card game and his gambling impulses. Aubrey's motivation is that his father was a gambler. As I've been saying in previous reviews, I think his character is adding some depth to the show.
My favorite minor part of the episode which maybe won't be so minor: Hodgins invents a plastic that's perfect for putting on the hard floor near a kitchen table, to prevent glasses that fall off from breaking. Since Cam, in her officious way, stopped him from developing this at the lab, any profit that comes from this will belong to Hodgins - and Angela. I'm hoping he makes back the tons of money that one of the serial killers took from him a few seasons ago.
