B&B have a look at what at first appears to be the charred remains of a young man. Turns out it is a mummy, and at least 3,000 years old. It has been stolen from a museum, and something removed from the chest. Angela plays a crucial role in helping Bones determine what was taken, and why. This is a tricky episode, and the killer is not who you think it is. Watch carefully for the clues to lead you to the right person. B&B have a very romantic moment that is of course nipped in the bud by the sudden arrival of her crew. The scene is so well done, it took me back to similar "almost there" moments in several romantic flicks of the 1930s and '40s. And it is set in a darkened museum, of all places.

A very good episode!!

Warning: Spoilers
This episode was full of sweet moments, interesting developments and an unprecedented bonding of Brennan and Daisy!
The opening scene was very nicely done - the body on the electric fence and the terrified guard, nice touch. Then a total out of the blue - Brennan being asked out by "Both's boss's boss". I don't remember seeing him before. First she says yes and tells Booth that he's got nothing to worry, they won't be speaking about him as she wouldn't be thinking of him "for a second". Which of course turns out to be totally false. When Booth confronts her, he says: "what goes on between us is ours" and not to share with anyone else - totally sweet. The line comes back in the last scene when Brennan takes Booth down to the opening of an Egyptian exhibition, and the two share a lovely, and very romantic moment - interrupted by the rest of the gang, as usual.
Apart from this, of course there's a murder to solve! :) And Brennan solves not only the recent one, but one from 3000 years before as well, getting giddy about it with none other but Daisy, who uses Sweets' breathing exercises to become less annoying. Which she succeeds to. Very nice acting from Carla Gallo.
I really enjoyed this episode. I think Carla Kettner is one of the writers who can create good moments for B&B.

Daisy Wick is just too much
briezey27 May 2022
This was a really cool episode that brought Bones back to her passion for ancient skeletons. It was so sweet to see Bones and Daisy get all excited about the ancient skeleton and it was a nice reminder to the audience that this was Bones' original passion.
There were two things that kind of ruined this episode for me, preventing me from giving it a 9 or 10. First of all, Bones going out with this Andrew guy. I didn't love his character. I just did not get the vibes that Bones would be into this guy. At this point, I think they just wanted to have a random FBI guy for Bones to have some interest in to postpone her interest in Booth. Second, Daisy Wick. Of all the interns, she is the hardest one for me to watch. It makes me so uncomfortable watching as Bones and the rest of the crew clearly show that they don't like her. She is just so much in all the scenes. I feel like there could have been a better way for them to have a dedicated, enthusiastic, but borderline "teachers pet" type character without going sooo over the top with it. On top of that, her relationship with Sweets makes me dislike him a little bit. I get that they are supposed to be these two quirky people in a cute, awkward relationship. But, watching her call him Lancelot and listening to him growl, not once but TWICE, made me cringe.
The tension at the end though with Bones and Booth was great. It's been a while since I've seen this episode and I definitely thought they were going to kiss. Unfortunately, the rest of the gang had to come in right before their sweet moment together.

Mummified
Hitchcoc5 February 2023
Other than Booth's boorishness, I thought this was a pretty good episode. A mummy from ancient Egypt has been stolen and hung up on an electrified fence. Bones is in her glory because the bones of such an ancient figure totally tantalize her. It turns out the mummy had a kind of gift that needed to be found. The subplot, as usual, is the teasing of the audience as to when Booth and Brennan will hook up. Booth does his usual tiresome judgment of anything he's not taken with. Museums are for people who want to sleep standing up. I did enjoy Brennan's mouthing the words to the Boris Karloff movie, "The Mummy." There is also the attempts at romance by Brennan's boss.
Romance is in the air again
mitchrmp2 August 2016
Though I found the mummy story a bit dull, I thought there were some really good parts to this show.
I loved how Brennan lost her stiff personality in the lab and became so excited that she and Daisy acted alike. Jack and Angelia gave her strange looks.
Daisy and Lance are always fun to watch. We see their relationship climb to a new level in this episode. Lance is just comical, and the scene in the Egyptian room near the end is funny.
Then there is Brennan and Booth. The egg thing was PRECELESS!!! I loved that verbal/non-verbal communication scene in Brennan's office. Then later, they have a romantic scene in the museum. The almost, but not quite, thing that could have happened...I'm not sure Brennan was ready for that yet...

Andrew hacker played by diedrich bader is courting brennan ... now this guy is a major jackass leftover moron comedian from the drew carey show which no one will believe that brennan would hook up with except she's so quirky she does anyway ... the two of them spoiled the show for me ...
