review of Bones 10.14

I remember visiting this website once...
It was called Paul Levinson's Infinite Regress: Bones 10.14: Meets La Parure
Here's some stuff I remembered seeing:
Bones 10.14 last night, in which the best part of the episode was Wendell\'s, which riffs on one of my favorite short stories of all time, "La Parure" by Guy De Maupassant.
The story - translated as "The Necklace" or "The Diamond Necklace" - was first published in 1884. A woman borrows a beautiful diamond necklace from her friend for an important event.  She loses it, and, honorable woman that she is, goes heavily into debt to buy a replacement, which she gives to her friend.   The two run into each other ten years later.   The woman who borrowed the necklace is a mess - she and her husband struggled all of these years to pay off the debt.   She finally tells the truth to the original owner, who replies, "but the original diamond necklace was paste" - i.e., it was just inexpensive costume jewelry!
On Bones, Wendell is desperate to fix or replace his girlfriend\'s clock, an heirloom from her grandmother, which Wendell thinks he broke while winding it.   Those old clocks are indeed easy to break. He enlists the resourceful Hodgins, who figures out a way to get the clock working.   When Wendell gives the clock back to his girlfriend, admitting that he broke it but did the right thing and got it working, she tells him it was broken to begin with.
But Bones comes up happier than De Maupassant, because the experience brings Wendell and his girlfriend closer together.   And speaking of happiness, we get a good Max episode, too, with a happy ending, in which his new round of secretiveness was all to retrieve a ring she loved and lost as a child.  We also learn why he left the family, and the reason brings him and Bones closer together.
And the murder in the episode?  It concerns a miniature golf course - not the most profound story in the world - but who cares, when we get a modern retelling of De Maupassant.

Dear Paul, I just dreamed of airships flying between raindrops. I just returned from 2042 CE, where I sold my hardcover copy of The Plot to Save Socrates for seventy million Neo-Euros, because it had your response to this e-mail from way back in 2007 scotch-taped onto the inside of the cover. A Paul Levinson collector paid top Neo-Euro, because of the authentic archaic e-mail printout from you. It turns out that not many of your e-mails from before your tenure as CEO of HBO/Cinemax and terms as United Nations Secretary General will survive that far into the future. So, please respond to this e-mail, to help found my great-grandchildren\'s fortune. My Will will stipulate that they must share with your great grandchidren. Thanks! Tom
