This episode might have been derailed, pardon the pun, if it focused too heavily on Sweets’s trauma and evaluation of his life. Sometimes on Bones, the main victims’ deaths are peculiar, but their lives aren’t fully developed. I was glad to see many angles of human interest in this episode, from the victim’s life to the other lives he affected.While Brennan worked on the case, a Japanese journalist interviewed her about her fiction-writing career. This tied in nicely with Aragon’s background as a writer. The two sides of Brennan–socially inept rationalist and bestselling author–have never quite jibed for me. And this episode revealed that Angela–known for her warmth and humanity–acts as a sounding board for Brennan’s books, making suggestions here and there to humanize her characters. That made perfect sense and was a nice tribute to their years-long friendship.
