Season five of Bones is officially back in full swing now, and the newest case is rather complicated. "The Bond in the Boot" starts with the James Bond theme and some great spy music as a guy with a mysterious gray briefcase stands in a parking lot, smoking. Another man attacks him and shoots him, because the first guy was silly enough to bring a knife to a gun fight! The briefcase is then removed from his hand by a knife — ouch — and the attacker drives away in a killer silver car. As he's driving away — and running over his victim, which is so overkill — someone shoots at his car. End scene. This was a different opening than what we're used to; rarely do they show the murder ahead of time.
There are cats taking their morning meal from the dead man's body, and that is suitably stomach-turning for everyone. Brennan asks them to take the kitties, who are remarkably calm for feral cats, to the Jeffersonian. They need their droppings. Oh, Hodgins, you have the best job ever. They analyze the scene and chat about how Brennan's book did so well that they got her a new watch. She made enough money to be comfortable for the rest of her life, and Booth seems a little off about it. He also complains that he forgot how to do his own plumbing and refuses to pay $800 dollars for a plumber. Booth, you alpha male you!
Intern of the week is Wendell, the blond boy who started out his job there thinking Brennan was coming on to him. He certainly gets along the best with the Squints, and he even goes out drinking with Hodgins. Could he be set up now as the permanent intern? Nah, they'll probably keep with the revolving door because it works. Still, he's the first intern to get a real story here. Cam is upset because it turns out his intern scholarship was lost, and he has no way to stay there since he's poor. The gang decides to look for new scholarships so they can keep him, and keep him in the dark until then.

Of course Wendell had to stay. With Zach gone, there is a hole for a new tech.

Yeah, but they've been moving the interns since Zach left without making anyone a regular. Could be about time to just claim one and move on.
