In previous seasons the episode was available the day after it aired, but season 10 has fallen behind. Would be 5 stars if it were available the next day as they used to be.

This show gives you a great view of what Anthology. Where ever the case takes you, it's in the BONES. Getting married to Booth made Bones a great person that now can deal with human interaction.
