Summary: A surprise visit by Booth's girlfriend, war correspondent Hannah Burley, forces Brennan to take another look at her relationship with Booth. Meanwhile, the team tries to identify a couple whose remains were found in a cave in a national park.
Review: I'm going to come right out and say it: I like Booth's new girlfriend. And I like her and Booth together. Booth is so happy with her, and he's so obviously in love. How can you not like it? I also really like about their relationship is that Booth is clearly not with her as some kind of twisted ploy to make Brennan jealous (which you may scoff at, but is a fairly typical plot device when two characters are engaged in the "will they, won't they" game that Booth and Brennan are). He loves Hannah because he loves her, and it has nothing to do with Brennan at all.
This episode was good for several reasons. First, like I just mentioned, because it introduced Hannah and really showed her relationship with Booth. Also because the team was solving their first case the way they used to, without any of the awkwardness of having been apart for seven months. Even Clark was back as an intern... and he was still troubled by the fact that the team brings their personal lives to work with them all the time. Everything was back to the way it should be.
The case itself was pretty easy to solve, which is a mild detraction from the overall quality of the episode. I know after awhile there are only so many ways a case can pan out, but it's nice when the writers still manage to trip you up a little. In this case, I identified the killer the first time he/she walked into a scene. It loses a little bit after that point, even though it's still enjoyable to watch the team try and come to same conclusion.
It's good to see that a summer off and a new character haven't disrupted the chemistry between our favorite characters. Booth and Sweets had a few wonderful exchanges throughout the episode, Booth and Brennan were spot on, and even Cam and Hodgins had some fun. I'm looking forward to more of Hodgins and Angela and the baby story as the season goes on.
This episode did exactly what it needed to: introduce Booth's new girlfriend, establish what her relationship with Brennan would be, and show the audience that, despite the end of season 5, the team is back and just as good as they were when they left.
