Not really bad writing - in fact, quite enjoyable writing

This is your run of the mill episode of Bones, and that's what makes it a good episode. After last weeks not so good episode, it was refreshing to get an episode that follows the structure that Bones fans know and love.

This episode deals with the concept of honesty and what it is like when people are always honest. I thought this was a fun concept to explore because our beloved Dr. Brennan is known for telling the harsh truths.

I was so happy that Hodgins and Angela had an open and honest conversation about the problems they were having with each other. Nothing frustrates me more than miscommunication and avoidance in tv show relationships as a way to drag out conflict. I liked that they had an issue, avoided it for a little bit, but then acted like adults and had a conversation about it that left them for the better at the end of the episode.

The end of the episode was so sweet when Booth was talking about how much it meant to him that Bones was there after his breakup. I think this was really important for them to discuss because in that episode Booth was pretty harsh towards Bones, telling her something like "either sit down, stop talking about Hannah, and have a drink, or leave." It felt like a good resolution.

Best part: Bones and Booth at the end of the episode

Worst part: not the most engaging case (but still good enough to get 8/10 rating)
