That should go well.
And I cant shake the feeling thatBones third-to-last episode everendedwith a bad decision, too.
But well get to that.

First, heres a good decision: bringing back Betty White.
Brennans instincts are right.
Shes studying prairie dogs now!
May we all be even half this cool.
Call it Chekhovs Career Disillusionment.
YOU LISTEN TO BETTY.
Hes going to be the one whose heart just isnt in this work.
Its already so obvious.
Brennan cant believe Wendell isnt curious about at least five dissertation topics right now.
for over 12 years now.
But, once again, Im getting ahead of myself.
This weeks windshield-crashing dead body is one Ronald Bergman, otherwise known as the Mattress King of Southeast Baltimore.
Booth hands the file over to Aubrey and tells him to take the lead.
So does this mean that Im, like, your boss now?
Like everyone this week, Ronnie recently attempted a career change.
To quote Snoozeland manager Linda, Ronnie said he was gonna be the next Gordon Welles.
Linda obviously doesnt care about the classics.
), who wanted to be an action star and used his relative clout to make it happen.
Faustino as Faustino is a treat.
When Aubrey calls him Mr. Faustino, the former Bud Bundy grumbles, What am I, your grandpa?
In footage from the masterpiece that is this movie, he drives a jet ski off a roof.
Faustinos character, to Hodgins delight, is called Pamanther: half man, half panther.
Because sometimes the only way to stop a panther is to become a panther.)
NEXT: Aubrey starts stockpiling pizzas
The changes to Rons movie upset more people than just Ron.
Peppermelt was upset that Ron misled him about the movies overall vibeandgot fake blood all over the rides.
She pushed Ron off the roof, then threw his body from an overpass to disguise the injuries.
The fact that the car he hit proceeded to literally crash and burn definitely didnt hurt.
And here he was, waltzing back in and throwing that big shadow right over you.
Tell us how you really feel about working with Booth.
He wanted to see if Aubrey would back down or fight for his right to lead.
Aubrey passed the test, and heres the kicker: the L.A. field office has been asking about him.
Aubrey thanks Booth; Booth, very genuinely, thanks him.
So Aubreys moving across the country!
Booth and Brennan are losing their Sweets surrogate.
Aubrey was always going to go places at the FBI; that was implied.
In these final three episodes, there are other characters who need explicit closure more.
Hed be mad, he says, and confused.
But, Brennan points out, he wouldnt stop breathing.
I couldnt breathe if I didnt do this anymore, she says.
Once again, I think were holding what it means to love your job to really high standards here.
She tells him to find his something bigger and reassures him the Jeffersonian team will always be his family.
But as much as she insists shes not firing Wendell, it sort of feels like she is.
Who says he has to compare?
What if he just expresses passion differently?
Brennan of all people should understand that.
But telling this story with Wendell, our working-class intern, feels kind of mean.
The kid from the other side of the tracks probably didnt go into forensic anthropology on a whim.
And all this after his whole neighborhood pooled money to send him to school!
Also, hes probably still got hospital bills fromthat time he had cancer.
As for Wendell, he gets to go over to Booth and Brennans house to watch the game tomorrow.
Thatll have to do.
