Short summary

A DC fountain leads to the discovery of several skeletons buried under it. They belong to missing members of charismatic crook Tom Fargood's latest and last-ever project, for sufferers of a rare disease, MCS, which drives desperate enough to be easy victims. One of them is the sister of 'clairvoyant' Avalon Harmonia, whose predictions just seem to good to be true.

During one of the first scenes, while Angela is doing a facial reconstruction on a skull, Cyndi Lauper's song "Fearless" is the music. This song comes from the album 'Sisters of Avalon'. 'Avalon' is the name of Lauper's character in the episode. The skull is that of Avalon's sister.

Though Hodgins mentions in previous episodes that he has three doctorates, this is the first episode that he reveals what those doctorates are in. Geology, Botany, and Entomology.

In season 3 episode 14, titled Kondid: The Wannabe in the Weeds (2008), Brennan states that when she was a child her family told her she sung Cyndi Lauper's 'Girl's Just Want to Have Fun' better than Lauper. In this episode Lauper plays Angela's psychic Avalon.

While talking with Sweets, Booth says Bones has been in Guatemala digging up Aztecs. The Aztecs were in central Mexico, the Mayans were in Guatemala.

Booth's full name is Seeley Joseph Booth. Told to Dr. Sweets as Booth is demonstrating he's fully recovered from his surgery.

This is the first episode Emily Deschanel and David Boreanaz received credit as full-fledged Producers for the remainder of the series. For seasons 3 & 4 they each was listed as '"Co-Producer" and before that they only had acting credits.

    Predictably, Booth no longer suffers from amnesia at the start of the fifth season opener. But he has mixed feelings about things, including his feeling toward Brennan, and decides he is going to pour his heart out to her. Meanhile, a psychic (Lauper) puts B&B on the trail of a mass grave, where 12 people lie slain and forgotten. Getting at the murderer proves more difficult than expected. And Booth has suspicions about the psychic. A clown plays a key role. Not exactly a gangbuster opener for the new season, but it will have to do. Let's hope things pick up. Some of the excellent supporting cast members have little to do here, unfortunately.

    Even after the awful space-filling episode at the end of the last season, the first episode was truly a huge disappointment.

    Booth is not in a coma any more, but he's not quite himself. Bones did not visit him in the hospital like you'd expect but went away to Guatemala to deal with bones instead. These two things as such, are very much in character but the consequence of a really bad idea, the brain tumor. As a medical fiction, it should stick much closer to facts about brain damage and operations etc.

    So Booth thinks he's in love with Brennan and wants to tell her - Cam and Sweets have the common sense to remind him that if the feeling's not real, it'll break Brennan forever. They meet a psychic (through Angela) who leads them to a mass grave and a rather interesting story about a determined sociopath, wanting to get rich at any price. Cyndi Lauper is rather good although her facial expressions are somewhat limited - but that's what you get when you don't want wrinkles.

    What I liked in the episode that they couldn't prove the murder - they charged the guy with a number of other crimes that will put him to jail "for a 100 years". Otherwise, one of the worst episodes, the writers seem to really struggle as how to bring these two together and didn't come up with any good ideas.

    Booth is finally able to say that he loves Brennan. But...

    After four years of everyone knowing it - I mean, the whole office and especially Sweets...Now they are saying that he may not really love her? That confused me!

    I understand why the writers had such a hard time actually putting these two together. That's what's keeping the show alive. Fans come back watching just for that reason. I've watched many shows (Who's the Boss comes to mind) where the show simply goes away once our need for the romance to come actually happens. It's sort of like - there's nothing left.

    But...and here's the spoiler...I think the show was great once they got together up to a point. Once they were married, the writer's/directors/whoever seemed to say "old married couple - we no longer have to show them in love. That was unfortunate.

    I believe that this episode is the only episode in all the eleven seasons where Booth actually uses a term of endearment for Brennan. In all the time they are together as a couple, you never hear "Honey, Sweetheart, Baby..." Here, as he holds Brennan while she's bleeding, he calls her "Baby." That's disappointing that Bones is his affectionate word for her even after they are married...

    The ending was a big disappointment. Booth chickened out and changed what he was going to say. I was very disappointed in the man!
