Sides ~ S05E21 "The Boy with the Answer"

Oh I read a facebook post about this episode today. TJ was trying to give hints to the fans (as if we wouldn't already know.....)

Well, I suppose because his daughter was nearly killed by Taffet (if Taffet is the Gravedigger or an accomplice), he would be interested in the outcome of the trial. Because Brennan's actions in trying to find Booth clearly showed the lengths she would go to to save him (and thus her love for him). Maybe Max is going to be one of the people trying to show her that she needs to admit this out loud to Booth.

If parallels to EitB have been occuring this season, I suppose we can't overlook that some people thought Max was either the Gravedigger or worked for the Gravedigger. It's hard for me to believe that HH would make Max the gravedigger in our reality, but maybe in Max's shady past, he met up with someone who he thinks is the gravedigger. Maybe he helps Brennan and Booth find another gravedigger victim which allows them to find evidence that convicts Taffet. Just a wild guess. Max as the Gravedigger in EitB was a real puzzlement to me.

yeah i still don't get max as the gravedigger thing in EitB but....I think some parts of it were just fun ways to incorporate all the characters. Like how aristoo was trying to buy out their nightclub.

I think it is really interesting that her dad is in the GD episode though, so it makes me think it must tie back to the end in the beginning in some way, i just don't see how.
