Episode Summary
The team is on the case when human remains are found inside a barrel of wine during a wine tasting. When the victim turns out to be a wine critic whose scathing reviews were capable of sending a vineyard to its ruin, everyone from the winery's owner to the victim's own wife becomes a suspect. Meanwhile, Brennan decides she wants to have a baby and surprises Booth with the request to father her child. The unexpected request dredges up a host of unspoken feelings and unresolved issues between the two of them, and Booth becomes consumed by the prospect of having another child. The stress of the situation, coupled with Booth's undiagnosed health issue, paves the way for a surprise visit from Stewie Griffin (guest voice Seth MacFarlane), FAMILY GUY's diabolically clever baby who offers Booth advice in his inimitable style.

Bones Episode Guide - Bones Bones/Booth Romantic Developments

  • Brennan/Bones asks Booth to father her child
  • This is not romantic, but in the donation lab (strictly PG 13, as always) Booth gets sick and starts hallucinating Stewie Griffin from Family Guy

  • Stewie: "Why are you here at the bank, Booth? You've got a hot doctor friend. Go to her and make a direct deposit like a man."
  • Temperance's voice cracks a little when she is telling the squint squad about Booth's brain tumor, Angela hugs her. How did she gain access to the doctor's diagnosis, Seeley must have granted her some kind of Okay.
  • Angela: "Why don't you do this the right way, you know you get naked together and then devour each other?" Bones: "Booth says that would create an emotional bond". So I am confused Temperance who wants to avoid the emotional bond you or Seeley?

I hope we see if Booth lives because if they don't show it that would be sad however I after hearing some of the online video commentary from the cast of BONES I am starting to worry.
