This week we have Betty & Hilda running into bad-boy Bobby (Adam Rodriguez) from their school days. They remember how they each had crush on him. As for Justin, he is trying to fit in at school, so he is working with Marc, who gets the cheerleaders new outfits. But, as Justin is showing one girl the perfect length of her skirt a football jock comes by and makes fun of him. Marc then convinces the girls that Justin could help with their routines. Marc is great with Justin!

For once, we open in court, except we’re listening to an ADA that looks like he’s twelve and likes to yell a lot. Seriously, I gave a better performance in Mock Trial in my sophomore year of high school. Though I do like the phrase “lethal stupidity.”

Peter wants to know what Neal’s thinking. I think it sounds like a game of Clue, and I’m proved right when Neal says “or it was Colonel Mustard.” It’s a slow day in the FBI office, but you know it won’t stay that way for long.

The Destiny sends an away team of a dozen people to search for food on the newest planet they’ve discovered, a hot and humid jungle planet. Eli records everything documentary style with his Kino, which means we see the first several minutes through its slightly distorted lens. Oh, joy. They scrounge up some food, but before they can test it, Volker and Chloe get sick.

Dean is driving like a bat out of hell. He and Sam are obviously in a big hurry. They pull into a parking lot that happens to be full of Impalas. Huh. When they get out, they rush up to Chuck, who is standing on the front steps of a hotel. He seems pretty surprised to see them (which is embarrassing for a prophet!). They received a text from him telling them to come quick, that it was an emergency.

Because I announce all my emergencies through texts.

We have a hostage situation, people. A 15 year-old kid and a couple of greasy looking guys are stopped by the cops. After checking that the kid is OK, Cop #1 decides to jump off the parking garage to his death and Cop #2 thinks it’d be a good idea to shoot Cops 3 and 4 and then herself. Hmm… And here’s the clincher: Tyler (this hostage) is the son of a Dr. Carson who just so happens to work in the aerospace division of Massive Dynamics. Well that’s just all kinds of fishy.

This week, Booth is having trouble shooting accurately and wants to blame it on his brain surgery thingy. Unfortunately, Bones says he should talk to Sweets, because it is not the operation that is causing his marksmanship to be off.
