Bones covered significant ground in its twelve-year run. As recently as 2017, we saw new episodes from the crime drama, and we’re still grieving its loss. While a hit like this show has many episodes that practically glue you to your seat, there were a few others that people didn’t much care for. Sometimes we were invested in the crimes, but most often we were invested in the personal lives of the characters. In particular, Booth (David Boreanaz) and Brennan (Emily Deschanel). While some episodes did a great job of portraying either the cases or the characters, or both, some didn’t have as much luck with the audience. Without further ado, here are 5 of the series’ best episodes, and 5 of the worst, according to IMDb.

10 Worst: “The Crank In The Shaft” Season 4, Episode 5

For anyone that’s ever feared getting stuck in an elevator, this episode is your nightmare times three thousand. A group of people get stuck and even witness a decomposed leg, with the heel still attached, fall through a ceiling panel. Not a good workday. Even by Bones standards, this episode was especially gory with the remains all over the place in the elevator shaft. We’d rate it lowly just based on that; there’s only so much gore some of us can take. Nonetheless, for such a gory episode, it has something of an average plotline for the victim and the murderer, which didn’t quite live up to the hype of the horror portrayed in the episode’s beginning. Plus, the victim wasn’t likable at all, which certainly didn’t help matters.

9 Best: “The Woman In Limbo” Season 1, Episode 22

One of the highest-rated episodes of the first season, this episode finds Brennan in emotional turmoil as she begins the investigation into her family’s past, following the discovery of her missing mother’s previously unidentified remains in storage at the Jeffersonian. Old wounds are reopened as Brennan and the team work vigorously to uncover Brennan’s mother’s cause of death and where she was in the two years following her disappearance.

Brennan is reunited with her estranged brother and discovers that her parents were not who she believed they were. The episode ends on a cliffhanger with Brennan’s father’s message on her answering machine, warning her to stop investigating. This episode gives us all a deep insight into Brennan’s difficult childhood and the pain she’s held ever since.

8 Worst: “The Money Maker On The Merry-Go-Round” Season 10, Episode 7

There honestly wasn’t much for us to care about when it comes to this episode. We were horrified that remains were found under a merry-go-round, something that’s supposed to be a beloved experience for children, but beyond that, we weren’t too impressed. It wasn’t a case that we could get invested in, and there were too many subplots going on. Brennan and Booth spend the duration of the episode discussing how to deal with their young daughter swearing, and Aubrey (a junior FBI agent) and Brennan have a moment where they discuss their struggles with their fathers being criminals. Add in the ridiculous wife of the victim that couldn’t tip and we’re totally over this episode.

7 Best: “The Nightmare In The Nightmare” Season 11, Episode 22

A serial killer and Bones in danger. Not an unheard-of concept, but this particular episode stands out. For one, “The Puppeteer” lives with his victims’ bodies prior to disposing of them. Disturbing on many levels, yes. Though it does pose an interesting psychological study, it’s also horrifying in true Bones fashion.

Meanwhile, Bones deals with her guilt over not catching the killer sooner and soon finds herself in a little over her head. Bones isn’t afraid to get gory, deep and disturbing: this episode, as many others do, support that notion. As the series was winding down, they weren’t willing to go out without a few bangs in the midst.

6 Worst: “The Boneless Bride In The River” Season 2, Episode 16

No bride should be dead for their wedding. Much less boneless. That in itself is gory. Plus, the plotline to determine what happened to the poor woman is a tad complicated, which may have added to throwing off the audience’s interest in the episode. Meanwhile, Brennan struggles with whether or not to join her boyfriend, Sully, on a sailing trip. Now, at the time, Brennan and Booth were in a will-they, won’t-they phase that audiences were dedicated to following and they were probably not enthusiastic about the idea of Brennan sailing away and leaving Booth behind. Viewers were hit with too much to process: boneless brides and more Booth and Brennan drama? We need a minute to digest all that.

5 Best: “The Man In The Fallout Shelter” Season 1, Episode 9

Christmas isn’t so cheery when the team is quarantined to the lab, effectively derailing everyone’s Christmas plans. While the team initially struggles to stay merry, they do continue conducting their investigation and bring peace to the murdered man’s girlfriend, now an elderly woman, whom he was going to marry in Paris in the 1950s. Brennan frequently shoots down any Christmastime cheer, but there’s a good reason as to why: her parents disappeared just before Christmas, hence instilling bad memories around the holidays for Brennan.

The fallout? Everyone is cleared just in time to have something of a Christmas after all, proving that Christmas miracles truly do exist (especially when Brennan gives the murdered man’s granddaughter a rare penny that he had in his remains that is worth enough money to send her to college).

4 Worst: “The Carrot In The Kudzu” Season 9, Episode 18

A children’s television show star is murdered and brought to the lab. This is off-putting in itself; a children’s show TV star, murdered? That’s like finding Mister Rogers on the autopsy table, and no one wants that. Strike one. Strike two? Turns out the victim played it a little too fast-and-loose in his personal life, cheating with his brother’s wife. Gross. It’s no mystery as to why this episode wasn’t rated too well; too many facts in the episode’s plot are against any chance of success. We’re happy to skip over this one in binge-watching.

3 Best: “The Doctor In The Photo” Season 6, Episode 9

The usually objective Brennan finds herself seeing double in this explosive Season 6 episode. When a doctor is found in a tree, Brennan has trouble seeing anyone other than herself, especially as she digs further in the doctor’s life. No family, no friends, no significant other but a dedicated doctor with plenty of accomplishments.

This episode is interesting because it shows us that even the most objective of people come across something that they believe are reflections of themselves, and therefore war with their own subjectivity. Not only this, but Brennan’s subjectivity actually helps her solve the case, once she allows herself to be subjective, that is. For anyone that’s ever been spooked by what could be their doppelganger, then this is the episode for you.

2 Worst: “The Ghost In The Machine” Season 8, Episode 9

While this episode has an interesting point of view (it’s from the skull of the deceased), it’s the lowest-rated episode of the series on IMDb. While the team attempt to solve the murder of a young teenager named Colin as his skull watches, a psychic (played by ’80s pop star Cyndi Lauper) whisks into the Jeffersonian, claiming that the skull was “calling her.” Now, it could be the psychic aspect that audiences didn’t like. It could be the fact that the story was told from the skeleton’s point of view (let’s face it, this is a tad creepy even in Bones logic). Whatever the reason, perhaps these elements together were a bit over-the-top and unbelievable, ergo the low rating.

1 Best: “Aliens In A Spaceship” Season 2, Episode 9

This episode was nothing short of emotional or riveting. The episode begins with Brennan trapped in a car underground, alongside a badly injured Hodgins (TJ Thyne). The episode takes us back 48 hours earlier, showing us what led up to their capture, as well as the efforts made by the team to track them down before the two run out of oxygen. Brennan is forced to perform emergency surgery to save Hodgins, and the two put their heads together to get out of their situation, from Brennan hot-wiring the car to send a message to Booth through her phone to the two blowing up the car airbags hoping for freedom. In what they believe may be their last moments, Brennan and Hodgins share tearful exchanges prior to the explosion, something that still tugs at the heartstrings all these years later. This is definitely one of our favorite episodes of the series for that reason.
