Third time through Bones, and I'm struck by how troublesome the conclusions are. Bones's convictions are admirable and well-defended; could the gang leader have seen the funeral and changed his mind about the hit? Why does Booth have to 'save' her?
Why didn't Logan offer to sponsor his dead girlfriend's family? That'd at least be taking responsibility for what happened. At the bare minimum, have the senator and his wife remark, after Hector saying, "You don't want to know", that maybe things need to change in their household and outlook.
I love this show, but it saddens me how a few extra lines of dialogue could have gone so far to push Bones's points about being a decent human being to each other. Perhaps these scenarios are more realistic in the long-run, but television doesn't always have to be so - it is a show, after all.
