Bones: The Headless Witch in the Woods (2006)
Season 2, Episode 10
8/10
Bones Witch project
12 March 2008
Temperance and Booth deal with the death of a film student , which strangely involves an 18th century witch. They observe some footage shot by the students themselves and then meet with the victim's elder brother who appears to have a lot in common with Temperance. Also, Booth and Dr Saroyan's relationship goes out in the open forcing him to redefine his relationship with Dr Brennan.

This episode is rather predictable and somewhat lacks tension even with the presence of multiple potential criminals. The whole "Blair Witch Project" approach seems nice on paper but could be executed in a much better and satisfying way. It actually looks closer to the first season with supernatural elements that do not fit so well into the main story. But not everything is bad. The chemistry between Booth and Brennan is still running strong and manages to save things up. Also we observe more of Dr Brennan's poor social skills and her obsession about her parent's death. Hodgin's and Angela's relationship also continues to unfold.

In all, a solid episode, though not as good as the rest of the season so far...
