Gordon Gordon Returns!

Warning: Spoilers
Aside from having to adjust the volume throughout due to all the loud music, this episode is perfect.

All the Wyatt/Sweets scenes are so lovely and seeing their dynamic and hearing all their insights and observations of B&B is fantastic.

Also, getting the most random tidbit about Gordon's past as a Ziggy Stardust knock-off was so unnecessary but very much appreciated.

Side note: did anyone else notice a slight English twang in Booth's voice whenever he said "Noddy Comet"?

The moments of Brennan in the interrogation room with Sweets were so outrageous and hilarious, especially when she awkwardly sat backwards on her chair after going all 'bad cop' on Murderbreath, absolute gold.

Getting to know more about Sweets' past and his motivations for wanting to delve into B&B's childhood trauma is really great, nevermind tear-jerking. Particularly in the final scene where B&B invite Sweets to 'family dinner'. The teary-eyed revelations, the catch in Booth's voice, Brennan putting Booth's handkerchief pack in his pocket - utterly heartwrenching.

This is definitely up there as one of the best episodes of the entire series and is the perfect way to bring back the amazing Stephen Fry into the land of Bones.
