Basic Plot: Booth and Brennan investigate the case of a man in a Santa Claus costume who tried to rob a bank but was blown up in the process.
B-Story: Brennan’s father invites distant relative Margeret Whitesell to spend Christmas with them, and the whole team ends up at Brennan’s apartment for the holidays.
Best Quote: “I’m gunna… start reciting saints” - Booth, as Brennan is removing his clothing. (Oh, did I neglect to mention that? It was good times)
Best B/B Moment: Brennan stripping Booth’s clothes off! (“Anyone for mistletoe?”) & “I must warn you… he’s very hard to resist”
Most Amusing Part of The Episode: Anything with Daisy is pretty much brilliant. Also, Margeret and her Benjamin Franklin obsession. “Right, right. Hey hey! Good old Ben, you know, he invented electricity and the 100-dollar bill.” “Neither one of those things is true.”
Sweetest Part of The Episode: the victim’s funeral actually made me cry. As did the “isn’t it heartcrushing?” “I think your heart muscle is bigger than people give you credit for”
Best Episode-Specific Character: Margeret Whitesell. Her Franklin fanaticism was too good to not talk about.
Best Guest Star: Zooey Deschanel! Two Deschanels in one episode is basically a dream come true for me.
Anything I’ve Missed?: I quite liked the back story with Cam and Michelle. It was sweet, and it showed a lot of heart, but nobody tried to make it take up too much of the story, which I appreciated.
Overall Rating: 4.5 out of 5. Almost perfect. (I’m trying really hard to not just give away perfect ratings, as much as I want to! Otherwise the reviews would be too predictable!
I started this blog on tumblr, and decided to start it on here too
and I’m willing to take episode requests from now on, just so you know.
