Show knows how to dance.
Okay.
Well, first off, RECAP IN PROGRESS. Based on wild speculation, of course. Because I am in America, and Show does not air until tomorrow. I cannot see into the future, so I have no idea how else I might be able to recap that which I have not seen, other than to guess.
If all goes well, the recap will be up tomorrow night, or Friday at the latest!
Anyway, this post is about something else entirely, a spoiler from 5x17 (and maybe a vague reference to #100, mostly based on my speculation, through a spontaneous minific, based on an innocuous minspoiler).
In case you haven't heard, or even better, SEEN (http://bonesspoilers.blogspot.com/2010/03/episode-stills-death-of-queen-bee.html) B/B dance at the high school reunion in 5x17. Some industrious fan asked the question I didn't even think about: what song are they dancing to?
Stephen Nathan responds (via Twitter): An aquatic animal that can balance a ball on its nose.
Okay, so that's clearly Seal.
And what's probably Seal's most famous, most romantic song from the mid-90s?
KISS FROM A ROSE.
OMG.
That's got to be the song. I'm telling you...that's the fucking song. I...my 10-year-old heart, in 1994, would hear that song, and I thought it was what romance was all about. I hadn't really listened to it in years, but as soon as I read that note from SN, I downloaded it to my iPod ASAP...and if you don't have it...HAVE IT. And imagine the scene. While looking at the pictures. Think about them breaking apart at the end of it, "as the light hits the gloom on the gray...." Imagine 18-year-old Brennan, alone, awkward, completely misunderstood, and probably not at all at her school prom, and then imagine 33-year-old Brennan, with Booth, standing in her old gym. She is beautiful, talented, accomplished. It is 15 years ago and not, and everything looks the same with slight mistakes...time makes mistakes. It does. And this is probably a mistake, coming to this thing, acting like they are married....
But Booth.
He never feels like a mistake.
And she is not alone.
And they sway, and she remembers the song, and he remembers it, too, from sometime in a bar, or something, it's familiar....
This feels familiar, too.
The way she fits into him, her head on his shoulder, his hands on her back. He thinks of the girl he knows she must have been, based on the details he has pieced together, and the stories she has told him over time. He thinks about the woman he's holding, the one who now knows that he loves her, and there are moments when he thinks that it's not worth the wait.
It's worth the wait.
Because Bones is not a mistake, and he is not alone, and he will sway with her just as long as she'll let him.
This is all just as long as she'll let him.
And waiting for the day she'll let him as long as he wants.
