• An above average season finale from an above average series. Learning about Temperance's past isn't something that I've been waiting for, but it still made for an interesting episode. Like most Bones episodes it's one that I wouldn't be particularly excited about going back to; as far as I'm concerned it's been resolved as much as it needs to be. --MateoP 19:53, 9 June 2006 (EDT)
