I didn't realize that I miss Zach so much until he was shown.

Wendell didn't really fit in, but it was a pity that he couldn't pay off his debts.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder in general are quite scary things. Sometimes I notice a strong urge to put everything in alphabetical order or arrange it by colors and shades, I hope that this is not a sign of incipient OCD. Stephen King has a short story called "N." in which the main character also tried to organize everything in the world. And there it went further than putting everything in groups of 12 pieces. The ending of that story is pretty creepy. And here, too, after all, a mother who killed her son is not something that can usually be expected.

When I was 17, I had an affair with a woman aged 31, which is 14 years older than me, but something very strange is happening in this episode... The difference of 28 years is a bit beyond what I would consider normal.

It was unexpectedly nice to see Zach again.

I'm sorry, of course, but this is their personal business, and it doesn't concern anyone.

And Zach got fat in this stupid, fucking pill...
it's a good thing he didn't kill! It's like a stone from the soul.

Damn, what a wild story... I don't understand, but couldn't he have taken his mother to the same group so that she could be treated too? It's creepy... Sawing off your own son's head... 😳

I feel sorry for Zach... Poor.
It's so nice that the guys love him.
The final scene with Booth and Bones is something... I was just lying on the floor laughing.

The soul is only being wiped out by writing Zack back into the plot...I miss him too much in the series...

Why did they show Zack again? I just retired, taking a break after the end of season 3. And so, I'm sitting here crying.
And what a relief that he's not a murderer! But life is still essentially broken. It is unlikely that they will take him back even if he "gets better." Questioner: Since
they've already got the salt, then let them pour it in full, that's for sure... I hope Zack's line doesn't end there.

I can't understand the rave reviews of Zack coming back and cuddling with him. That's honest. A man with excellent brains and advanced thinking helps a cannibal, a murderer, fully aware of the enormity of what is happening. To me, he's a criminal and very dangerous. I can't perceive it any other way anymore.

@brutal_cat: Zach is an otherworldly man. The fact that he is smart does not insure him against mistakes, including big ones. He came under the influence of a charismatic man, having previously heard enough from Hodgins, whom he fully trusts, that there is a threat in the face of secret societies. One thing after another, the constant digging into human remains and cases of violent death of various kinds... No wonder his psyche was shaken. Nothing was noticeable from the outside, but inside he had too many unanswered questions. And in his search for answers, he lost his way.

The series is interesting, but the characters in it are completely fucked up. It means that a dude who voluntarily helped a cannibal and (as they think) killed a man himself comes to them, and they are like: "Zach, how glad we are to see you! Let's go to a cafe!" It's not surprising that the new guy got away from this madhouse, but it's a pity - he seemed interesting and pleasant to me.

Zach is just really creepy. And he's not mentally ill. It's sad that he helped Gromogon consciously.

Zaak :3
it was a very sweet and sad moment
at the same time. I'm sorry for Wendell, he seemed like a nice guy to me and, imho, he could have fit in with the team. He certainly wouldn't replace Zack, but he would also be a good character.

The song from the montage about the cafe/ killer's garden/ Wendell's departure - Katie Gray 'Set Free'. I've been on the playlist for more than 10 years and I still haven't gotten tired of it)

@MrShemsh: I was also surprised that instead of calling the police, they went to a cafe with Zach.
I saw a familiar face in the role of the son of a woman who was having sex with the murdered man. That's Vernon from "You're the Epitome of Vice."

I felt very sorry for Zach, I would like everyone to know that he wasn't really a murderer.
I didn't quite understand (or maybe I overlooked) why Wendell ended up leaving, a good guy...

I don't have a negative attitude towards Zach, but I also don't fully understand the reaction of his friends to his appearance in the laboratory. Considering the circumstances of their separation... It looked strange.

And I'm also kind of hurt for Father Temprance. When he killed two people (and no one else in his life) to protect his children (!) from a real threat (!), he is a murderer in his daughter's eyes. And when Zach kills an absolutely leftist guy because of his new ideology (the fact that he didn't actually do it doesn't change anything at the moment, since no one knows except Sweets), then everything is forgiven to him.
I understand why Brennan feels the way he does. But for a rational person like her, double standards are too obvious.

@CocaLola: Zach wasn't around at the time of the murders of the priest and the lobbyist, however, he is an accomplice. These were ordinary people whom Gromogon included in his scheme only because of their work. Zach didn't say anything about the priest, he gave the lobbyist's hiding place to the maniac, knowing that Gromogon would kill him. Complicity, by the way, can be classified by the court as murder of the 2nd degree, and there the terms are very long, up to life. Especially for the lobbyist. Zach voluntarily accepted the ideology of a serial killer, his deliberate actions led to the death of 2 people (okay, I won't include Gromogon's student in this list, he chose his own fate, deserved what he got).
It was also amazing how Brennan had forgotten that Zach had participated in the assassination attempt on her and Booth, leaking information to the Loudmouth, deceiving everyone. But Max constantly remembers everything in great detail. It's too bad that Zach didn't answer for his actions according to the law.

I'm reviewing the series and I think the creators missed a good opportunity to make a spin-off starring Zach and Sweets, I think it would be funny

Vandell is awesome. He and Clark are cool.

I didn't understand anything. Zach said at the end of last season that he didn't kill anyone, only reported the data and stole the evidence that Gromogon needed, why suddenly everyone, including Sweets, who, as I understand it, forged the result of the examination, is now surprised. Whose murder was attributed to Zach then?
Zach has committed many crimes, he didn't kill, of course, but he must answer for everything he did. I don't understand the joy of the team either, it's up to each of them to forgive Zach or not, but no one has canceled responsibility before the law.
