EitB/Gravedigger speculation

Ohhh... I like this idea! Anytime they show how the friendship between the characters I love it, and this would be a great way for them to show that in the real world the squints would stand up for B&B in the same way they did during the dream/coma from last season.

It could be like:
B&B have sex. (If I say it enough, it has to happen, right?) The gravedigger could come after Bones. Booth could kill the gravedigger. The squints could cover it up. Moral dilemmas could ensue...

*mind races with possibilities*

Here is what Im thinking. Brennan hit the gravedigger in that episode hero in the hold. The gravedigger files assault charges. The only way to get Brennan charges drop is to let is to let the gravedigger go free. The asssualt charges would end brennan and booths partnership. They decide (probably more brennan) to not drop charges because more lives would be lost. Threrefore, the partnership that both hold so dear is destroyed.

The only thing about the above scenario is that the gravedigger is loose! She was wrongfully, illegally detained by Jared and the gang when figuring out what happened to Booth. That's why there has never been a "trial" . . . she can't be held for kidnapping Booth! So, my thinking is there's a revenge aspect and she's coming after them.

Don't think badly of me here, but I've kinda always wanted Booth and Brennen to get kidnapped together somehow. That last minute life and death moment would be such a dramatic catalyst into a more pronounced relationship.

I don't think the Gravedigger is currently loose given that HH had said they were looking at having her trial this season. But that doesn't mean she won't be freed of the charges because of the above circumstances.

Actually, HH said in an interview that the Gravedigger is not in jail, was set free. (See: [Only admins are allowed to see this link]

He corrected that on twitter

If you read the article it wasn't HH that said that it was SN and he retracted it on Twitter ( actual tweet: I misspoke. The Gravedigger was not set free. But she has also not been tried. I was giddy at the 100th party). however it's probably a good indication that the gravedigger is going to be set free.

I think you could be onto something!

It was be silly to think that we aren't going to have more than one element from EitB in the BitE. HH is too clever not to do that!

While I would 100% want the gravedigger to come back this season (and to see the ST fallout that occurs during a trial), i am not sure we will see that. It seems there are only so many episodes left and so many things to touch upon....that said, i have not read any sides, so maybe there are many things i do not know.

The sides haven't said anything about Diggy yet (if ever), but there have been hints dropped in interviews and stuff. Would make a great part of the finale, and I think that's been the implication...

Just a thought as far as them getting in trouble for detaining GD couldn't they use the excuse of "citizens arrest"

I suppose it wouldn't have to be an actual partnership, but something he did accidentally or left a loophole open for her (them?) to act. Because, as others there said, I can't see Jared doing that to Booth, no matter how bad their relationship was.

Jared's not that big of a douchebag to do anything on purpose, but I could see how Jared's ( and Brennan's) actions in Hero could leave the door open for the Gravedigger to get the charges against her dropped.

I don't know if they're still planning for her trial this season, but it would certainly make a pretty suspenseful and dramatic finale.

Also, while I realize this probably won't happen, one of the ideas floating around is that BOTH Booth and Brennan get taken by her and her accomplice. So maybe something happens and she gets released (or escapes while being tranferred or something, I have no idea). I honestly don't know, but this has been going on since s2 so she (and he, presumably), should be given a decent wrap up. If B&B get to comfort each other after nearly dying together I won't complain either.
