Hey Bones Booth!
I have to be honest, I'm not a massive fan of the undercover episodes. The Woman in the Sand is the only one that doesn't give me intense secondhand embarrassment. I know that's the point but sometimes it's just too much to handle and makes it difficult to watch.
However, this episode isn't too bad in that regard.
As always the silliness and heavy-handedness of it all was very much appreciated, and completely fit the tone they were going for. It would've been just wrong for them to investigate a case to do with the circus without going undercover. As a couple. And perform a Russian knife-throwing act.
It was great to get a tiny bit more of Sweets' background since we haven't heard much about his past as of yet. This gets expanded upon in future episodes but all the information we get right now is that he was adopted and his biological mother worked at a carnival.
It was lovely to see more of Vincent and get to hear more of his random not-so-pertinent factoids.
Brennan's outfit as Natasha... insane. I refuse to believe she slept in it that last night in the trailer/mobile home but the more scenes with her wearing it, the better.
Cam asking B&B to livestream their performance for everyone back at the Jeffersonian was hilarious and again added to how bonkers this episode was as a whole.
Overall, a pretty decent episode, but not one of my favourites, despite how iconic some parts are. 8/10.
