I loved this episode so much. The beginning was intense. Zach freaked me out a lot during the whole episode. I was glad that Booth was able to find Brennan in the beginning of the episode and that they didn’t draw her kidnapping out for the whole episode. I loved Hodgins reversing the elements in her lotion to find where Brennan was. I was kind of surprised they didn’t leave the Jeffersonian, but Zach would do what was the easiest for him. My favorite moment of the whole episode was Booth hugging Brennan with all he had at the FBI. It was creepy that Zach was spying on everyone, but Booth. I wanna know how the hell he got in and out of the facility numerus times without anyone knowing a thing. The facility needs to tighten their security and change some procedures… I know his heart was mostly in the right place, but impersonating a doctor that was helping Hodgins recover feeling was cruel IMO... I was sad at the end when it was revealed that Hodgins had lost the little feeling he gained. I sort of thought that they were going to do something along that line this season. I’m glad that they’re not going to have him recover and ditch the chair by the finale and act like nothing happened. I hate Karen so much, I thought for sure she was involved especially when she just showed up out of nowhere. It kind of scared me when she was in the lab with Brennan I thought she was going to do something to Brennan. I was glad that when she had her little frantic moment in the interrogation room nothing serious had happened to Zach or Brennan, because if he’d done something to her Booth would have lost it. I was glad Zach was able to defend himself the doctor until Booth was able to get there and save the night. I laughed at Zach telling the doctor that he’s told everyone for years he’s stronger than he looks. The last scene with Hodgins broke my heart. TJ nailed it as always. The season may be short but I can’t wait to see what unfolds…..
