Date: 2008-09-25 02:46 am (UTC)Zack: I haven’t actually done it before, you know.
Sweets: Had sex?
Zack: Ended someone’s life. Why doesn’t anyone ever believe I’ve had sex?
Sweets: You confessed to plunging a knife into a man’s chest.
Zack: No. I said I killed him – which I did; I told The Master where to find the man.
Sweets: But you didn’t plunge a knife into the man’s chest?
Zack: It wasn’t me.
Sweets: Zack, why did you confess?
Zack: I would have done it. If The Master had asked, I would have done it.
Sweets: No, no. You don’t know that. People have no idea if they’re capable of ending a life until they’re put in that situation. In all of our sessions, I’ve had question marks because you, at heart, are not a killer.
(Sweets starts dialing his cell.) I gotta, I gotta tell Dr. Brennan this.
Zack: You can’t tell them. Because I’m your patient, and you’re not allowed, ethically.
Sweets: Zack, don’t you want your friends to know that you didn’t kill anyone?
Zack: I’m still an accessory to murder. If you tell them, they’ll take me out of here and put me in prison. Hodgins assures me I would not do well in prison.
Sweets: OK, what about the person that actually did commit the murder? He’s still out there.
Zack: No. The Master killed him. So he could recruit me. There could only ever be two.
Sweets: You have to let me tell the truth.
Zack: You can’t tell anyone without my permission…. We should go in; I don’t want to get you into trouble.
It seems like a retcon to me, but I'm still thrilled that it's been shown that Zack didn't kill anyone.
omg thank you!

Date: 2008-09-25 02:08 am (UTC)I hadn't been reading any of the sides or saw any previews from last week, so seeing Zack again was a wonderful, heartbreaking surprise.
And then that revelation at the end? YES.
Now I can look forward to seeing where they take THAT tidbit of information.

Date: 2008-09-25 02:47 am (UTC)I get that they are trying to make Zack's abrupt apparent change in personality less so than it looked in PitH, but they simply aren't thinking things through and they are contradicting themselves. Zack clearly admitted to killing the lobbyist before, and now he's back tracking? I would have done it if he asked me but I didn't actually do it? Come on guys, pick your fork in the road and then stick with it.
::sigh:: What I wouldn't give for 5 minutes in the writer's room with those guys to discuss the concept of continuity...

Date: 2008-09-25 02:50 am (UTC)I re-watched the scene between Sweets and Zack and transcribed it for someone else. If you'd like to read it, here it is:
Zack: I haven’t actually done it before, you know.
Sweets: Had sex?
Zack: Ended someone’s life. Why doesn’t anyone ever believe I’ve had sex?
Sweets: You confessed to plunging a knife into a man’s chest.

Date: 2008-09-25 02:56 am (UTC)It was the apprentice before Zack. The one that Zack said the Master then killed because "there can only ever be two."
Zack clearly admitted to killing the lobbyist before, and now he's back tracking? I would have done it if he asked me but I didn't actually do it? Come on guys, pick your fork in the road and then stick with it.
Yes! That's what I meant by cop-out!

Date: 2008-09-25 07:59 pm (UTC)I don't think Zack actually admitted to stabbing the Lobbyist. I don't recall ever hearing him actually saying those words. Caroline was the one who came out and told everyone that he did:
"CAROLINE: Zack confessed to killing the Lobbyist – stabbed him in the heart."
He could have very well said that he killed him but never actually said he stabbed him. Caroline could have just added that on.
Zack's logic was correct this time. He may have not stabbed the Lobbyist, but he was still instrumental in his death - hence him killing him.

Date: 2008-09-25 02:54 am (UTC)It's sloppy, agreed. I believe this is what's referred to as a retcon. But I'm still thrilled that they're saying he didn't actually kill anyone.
Is there a reason the accessory can't be in the loony bin?
I think what they're trying to say is that he would be shown to be perfectly sane, in which case he'd be sent to prison instead of remaining at the mental institution.
And yeah, all in all, we've gotten some good eps lately. :)

Date: 2008-09-25 03:18 am (UTC)I loved this episode. The case was great and I found I was giggling through most of it.
no subject
Date: 2008-09-25 04:43 am (UTC)(1) After the apprentice of 3.01 died, the Master took a new apprentice.
(2) The new apprentice got played by the Master when he found a much more useful apprentice, Zack. To the Master, Zack was the new apprentice and the random dude became an instrument.
Yeah, I'm betting it's retcon, but this is how I choose to reconcile it in my mind. It's VMars and Shelly Pomroy's party all over again--there are multiple interpretations supported by canon, so you have to pick one and justify it in your own head.
Why did FOX promo this episode as Brennan sleeping with the new intern? I spent all week thinking that I was going to be rolling my eyes at this episode. And my roommate thinks it's funny that I got duped by promos, since she feels I should know better (she's right).
And to continue that, can we keep the new intern (at least beyond one episode)? I know every replacement ever gets all depressed when Zack comes back (coughClarkcough), but he's incarcerated. And Wendell seemed all right to me. He just needs a little more confidence, which could be his story arc for a few episodes.

Date: 2008-09-25 11:09 am (UTC)Watching him again made me realize how much i missed him. And I didn't even notice that until now :(
I'm so glad this happened, because making all of us believe he was a murderer was a big mistake.

Date: 2008-09-25 07:16 pm (UTC)Yup. That one, and the final scene is not the usual as in Booth-teaches-something-to-Brennan. She fixes his
big, touchable, perfect, muscular and asdlñkjfasdajdfkback!!!Booth is hot, but I tell you this woman will get me out of the closet someday. :-P

Date: 2008-09-25 08:25 pm (UTC)Ok, so they backtracked, figure of eighted, changed their minds, sort of didn't change their minds bleurgh, blauh, blah.....
I am a bit cheesed that they have done that - at least have the balls to stick with the decision they made. Ok so it was contraversial, OOC, dodgy continuity-wise ...you know, all the things that we debated all summer - BUT it is WHAT HAPPENED......
but if I am going to ignore my inner critic - and say on the other hand - yay - Zack not a murderer....and I like the fact he doesn't want Sweets (who, upsettingly continues to grow on me) to tell anyone.
Overall another top episode I thought, Brennan actually doing science, Came being a bee-atch, great Zack-Hodgins (TJ keeps running away with the show, and some nice B/B stuff....even though still continuing twith the Booth forgetting the gravity of certain situations and seeming only to find amusement.
Sorry - ramble and hijack of thread over!

Date: 2008-09-25 11:35 pm (UTC)I think water turning purple when peed in can only be treated as amusing by a guy who is not scientific. What else is he gonna do? It's Booth, the guy guy. And he always treated Zack in a jokey way, or threatened to shoot him. At least he didn't do that. And he turned a blind eye to the escape for the sake of the case and the bonding. That's fairly typical of him too.
At least he wasn't goofy.

Date: 2008-09-26 01:23 am (UTC)My question would be (and I'm not a legal mind, so if someone out there could explain, I'd be grateful): wasn't there a trial?! Wouldn't someone have taken an account of the crime that Zach supposedly committed? I can't imagine that they'd just stick him in a psych ward and not ask any questions...
But maybe I'm being obtuse and the answer is simple :)
