Bones Season 7 Episode 4 – The Male in the Mail

It was a long time since I had to hold back the tears in the final minutes of a chapter of Bones as happened in this week's episode, The Male in the Mail , and all why? Because the writers masterfully able to exploit the confrontation that Booth had with his father and especially his reaction when he learned of his death.

Or rather, its negation, since he spent much of the chapter trying to pretend that nothing happened, even though everyone tried to show him they were concerned about their pain, Bones mainly. Moreover, since the beginning of this season's character became more emotional, more sensitive, but without losing its essence and its realistic shot unmistakable (as when he comments on the discomfort he feels because of pregnancy).

In fact, it was not just Bones who stole the show in the category emotion. From his first scene, see Pops on the screen was a guarantee of dialogue little more serious, but more emotional. The words that he said showed that Booth and how he should not only respect their grief over losing her son but also accept the pain over losing his father was beautiful.

Although my favorite sequence was when he gave Booth the box that his father had left him. Each speech was so well built that I felt let's say within the scene, participating in every sequence, every movement, every expression, every second and twisting so that the box was finally opened.

Now, if Bones and Booth secured the right amount of emotion to the chapter, the rest of the Jeffersonian team kept the curiosity with the case presented: pieces of a corpse delivered by mail in boxes.

This time the writers have outdone themselves, but they're not alone. The whole sequence where the boxes are opened worked perfectly to hold the attention because although we expect that something would come out of the post office building when the place was the scene of the first chapter, knowing that the place where all things "happen" were boxes was very unusual .

Another point that worked well was the presentation of the suspects. This time the investigation was built on my favorite way: with the presentation of several suspects, each confusing me even more because when I thought I had found out who had committed the crime and I am surprised with a new track that leads to another suspect. Perfect, as not seen for a long time.

In fact, everything in The Male in the Mail went so well that even the participation of each member of the Jeffersonian was fun, without affectation, perhaps because it has perfectly combined the unusual case investigated the personal drama played by Booth - passing, of course, by Bones and his unmistakable sincerity.

A chapter that gave pleasure of seeing and worth every minute.

Until next week.
