Marisa’s Top 14 Episodes of 2014

There were certainly episodes that were hyped more this year for BONES (and "The Nail in the Coffin" and "The Lance to the Heart" were also contenders for this spot, in my mind), but the quiet heartbreak of "Big in the Philippines" is the episode that ended up captivating me the most. The case was solid (a musician was struggling locally, but was a success in the Philippines…yet not making money for it), but the real draw was Brennan discovering after Wendell breaks his arm too easily that he has cancer. Most of the squinterns have solid relationships with the regular characters are this point, but Wendell is unique in that his friendship with Booth is something none of the other recurring characters have. Emily Deschanel (Brennan), David Boreanaz (Booth), and Michael Grant Terry (Wendell) all shone as B&B sat down to tell Wendell the reason for his injury.
