Bones 4.17 – “The Salt in the Wounds” Recap

Clinton’s eating his last meal as a carefree kid before Booth grinds some responsibility into his ass with a boot. He’s also getting a recap on why Ashley was killed, complete with an ‘apology’for not believing that Nerd-boy could sleep with those girls. Booth says he’s smart, but he’s also a smart-ass, so let Mr. Agent Booth learn you some facts. ‘Sex is never free and easy.’Clinton begs to differ, but Booth continues, pulling pictures of Becca, Alpha, and the other two girls and laying them on the table. Any one of them could change their minds and he’d be paying child support for the rest of his life. Our dour music begins again as the smirk begins to fall off Clinton’s face. He is responsible for bringing those four children into the world, whether the girls think he is or not.

Both under influence/We had divine sense. His children, his responsibility.

To know what to say/Mind is a razor blade… Clinton looks down and Booth tells him what he does about that will define what kind of man he is and if he ignores it? He’ll be a deadbeat, a loser.

To call for hands above/To lean on/Wouldn’t be good enough/For me, no. Oh, and one more thing?

One night of magic rush/The start a simple touch. Let’s add guilt.

One night to push and scream/And then relief. Ashley was going to have his baby.

Ten days of perfect tunes/The colors red and blue. It was going to be a boy.

We had a promise made/We were in love. A son. And as Booth starts to tear up Ashley’s picture he adds, ‘Who died. With his mother.’Clinton asks why Booth’s doing this and Booth’s answer is a simple: it needed to be done. Does Clinton understand that? Yes. Finally, yes.

And you kept us awake with wolves teeth/Sharing different heartbeats/In one night.

Bones walks past the diner and stops to watch as the song finally takes us out. To call for hands above/To lean on, Wouldn’t be good enough.

For me, no.

Have a great night, y’all, and don’t worry, your regular recapper will be back soon. Promise.
