Bones

[Liberalynn]

Any of you watch Bones? I don't but TV Line has a blind item spoiler about a co lead looking like they are dead in midseason finale with a question mark on whether death sticks because of conflicting reports.

Fantasy show I watch has character who we know is at risk but whom 99.9 percent of fans believe will be coming back because EP's have alluded to his character in second half of season.

But now this BI has me wondering if something has changed. To rule him out I am trying to find other shows that could fit it. One thing I think was clue was Granny's Pearls?

So does anyone know if Booth gave Bones his grandmother's pearls at any point?

1. I watch "Bones" religiously.

I haven't seen anything about a "midseason" death. but the season did start with the death of Booth's brother, Jared. I don't recall anything about pearls though.

3. The Tiger in the Tale

So I'm flipping around the dial last night and on the ION Mystery channel there's an episode of Bones.

Dr Temperance Brennan (Bones), named after the protagonist of forensic pathologist Kathy Reichs' crime novel series, floats the idea of running for POTUS. Brennan elaborates to her partner Booth that it's no crazier than people floating the name of Donald Trump as a possible presidential candidate. At least she has the intelligence and qualifications to make a good President..

Seeley Booth: So, what're you doing there?

Temperance Brennan: Should I run for president? I believe every American should consider what is his or her greatest contribution to the common good.

Seeley Booth: Right. And yours would be running for president?

Temperance Brennan: I'm brilliant. That is not in dispute. I have a profound depth of knowledge of the evolution of government from early Mesopotamian city states to the Ching Dynasty to Moorish caliphates, the laws of Ur-Nammu and Hammurabi...

Seeley Booth: Woo! Go figure. You can't run for President of the United States, Bones.

Temperance Brennan: Well, not this election cycle, obviously. But look what I have on my pro list.

Seeley Booth: Excellent understanding of the criminal justice system.

Temperance Brennan: Because of our work together. And I have an impressive conviction rate, too.

Seeley Booth: Oh. Empathy with the struggles of the working class.

Temperance Brennan: I worked several minimum wage jobs while on the run. I'm actually thinking of a tax plan...

Seeley Booth: You sort of just glossed over on the run. You know, you were a fugitive. Where's that? That's not on the list.

Temperance Brennan: I was cleared.

Seeley Booth: Well, after evading arrest for three months. Give me the pen - fugitive, con.

Temperance Brennan: Are you saying that you think I would be a bad candidate? Because Donald Trump was thinking of running.

Temperance Brennan: I hope you'll be more supportive if our daughter decides to run for president.

Seeley Booth: Well, we'll cross that bridge when she starts walking, okay?

This episode aired in 2012 .. I'm not sure which is a scarier thought .. The original absurdity of Trump running in 2012 or that more than 0 people still consider it, after we survived 4-years of Trump and an insurrection, in 2024?
