She replies she could not put him in front of a court to testify because people would not take him seriously. Zack then goes to ask Angela for fashion advice, and she gives him a complete makeover that includes a new haircut and suit. After completing his doctorate and getting the makeover from Angela, Zack again asks Dr.
Camille Saroyan for a job, and she gives it to him. At the end of Season 2, Zack receives a request from the office of the President to ship out to Iraq. What his duties there would be are not revealed, and he only tells Hodgins and Booth about it.
He initially seems inclined to go, but after talking about the reality of war with Booth, he seems less sure, asking Booth for advice because he "knows more about duty and honor than anyone else" he knows. He also turns down the offer to be the best man at Hodgins and Angela's wedding in case he decides to go to Iraq and is killed. This is because he doesn't want Hodgins's memories of the wedding to be tainted with sadness. It is revealed in the first episode of Season 3 Zack had just returned from a three-month stint in Iraq.
In "The Pain in the Heart," the final episode of Season 3, Zack receives third-degree burns and massive tissue damage the cartilage on his left hand was destroyed, among other things on both hands after an explosion in the lab.
It's later revealed he was working as the apprentice of The Gormogon and the explosion was designed as a distraction so the Gormogon could break into the lab and steal a skeleton. Zack's weaker personality was manipulated by the Gormogon whom he referred to as "the Master" so completely Zack believed his belief system irrefutable.
He even went so far as to kill a lobbyist and dividing his bones among the Jeffersonian's storage units. However, Zack still maintained a loyalty to his friends, willing to injure himself to keep Hodgins safe, and giving up the location of Gormogon's house. At the end of the episode, prosecutor Caroline Julian says while Zack has confessed to killing Ray Porter ; she's willing to work out a deal to have him declared non-compos mentis, a decision committing him to an asylum rather than prison.
Zack will no longer be a regular character on the show. However, series creator Hart Hanson said he may become a recurring character to provide consults to the team with "certain talents we can use in a 'Hannibal Lecter' kind of way. It's also shown at least Hodgins and Angela have both been in contact with Zack during his imprisonment. Hodgins is shown bringing Zack a mathematical riddle to solve, which he solves in less than 30 seconds.
In his session with Sweets, Zack admits to feeling guilty for killing the lobbyist, but argued he committed the crime for what had appeared to be perfectly logical reasons at the time. Sweets believes Zack should feel more guilty about killing the lobbyist and less about having been taken in by Gormogon's rhetoric. Towards the end of the episode, Zack escapes from the institution.
It's revealed he could have escaped at any time, but didn't feel it was necessary to do so until that particular moment. After helping his former coworkers solve the case, Zack willingly returns to the institution with Sweets and Booth. After Booth relinquishes Zack to Sweets' hands, Zack tells Sweets that while he had helped Gormogon find the lobbyist, he himself hadn't actually stabbed Ray Porter.
In other words, Zack believes he killed the lobbyist, but from a legal standpoint, he's considered only an accessory or co-conspirator to murder. Sweets insist Zack change his story, but Zack refuses. Zack fears if his secret were to come out, he will find himself in prison, where he is assured, by Hodgins, to do very poorly at. Sweets wanted him to tell the others the truth since he believed that The Apprentice is still at large.
Zack reassured Sweets that the apprentice who murdered Ray Porter was killed by The Master so he could recruit Zack because "there could only ever be two. The episode closes with Zack in the Psychiatric Hospital and Sweets keeping Zack's secret, albeit reluctantly. In the season 4 finale, Zack is considered a suspect when a man is murdered in a popular nightclub owned by Booth and Dr.
Zack is described as a "moron who goes to jail for a murder he didn't commit" by Vincent, suggesting Booth at least subconsciously knows Zack is innocent.
At the end of the episode, we learn the entire thing was a dream Booth had while unconscious and part of a new book Brennan was writing. Zack also returns as a guest star in the season 5 episode The Parts in the Sum of the Whole.
We see him in a flashback as Dr. Brennan's graduate student while she works on her first case with Booth. After being framed as the Puppeteer , Zack recants his confession in the murder of Ray Porter, having realized that he could never take a life, even in self-defense. The Jeffersonian team set out to exonerate Zack through season 12, eventually finding the Apprentice's body with the help of Doctor Gordon Wyatt.
Using blood evidence from the Apprentice's body, Zack was exonerated of Ray Porter's murder at his appeal in The Day in the Life and his life sentence overturned.
However, his conviction for aiding a known killer still stands and he will have to serve out the remainder of his sentence for that crime, a mere thirteen months. Once that time is up, Zack will be released into society once more. This may be due to a hero-worship and also to romantic feelings toward her. When he discovered Temperance's own Forensic Anthropology professor had become her lover, Zack repeatedly wondered aloud whether he might enter into a similar relationship with Dr.
He was quickly disabused of the notion by his colleagues. Zack appears to have an on and off-again relationship with "Naomi in Paleontology," despite hints in the first season she was dissatisfied with his sexual prowess.
Zack has no problem making inappropriate comments about others' personal lives and asked Agent Booth for advice on sex and women, requests which Booth characteristically ignored. Very little is known about his childhood. In " The Wannabe in the Weeds " episode from the third season, it was discovered Zack was a singer during his childhood as a way for his parents to help integrate him socially.
Though it did not appear to work, he demonstrates his talent when Hodgins doubted him. He has fond memories of receiving his first microscope " The Girl with the Curl " and when he was six, he had a pirate eyepatch " The Man with the Bone ".
It is also known he attended a private high school " A Boy in the Tree ". He does not dance, because he's been told he "look[s] like a marionette in a windstorm" The Man in the Wall.
According to Emily Deschanel, Zack "almost definitely has Asperger's syndrome," a condition on the autism spectrum. Further evidence of his social ineptitude can be seen in the frequent, on-screen coaching in social matters he gets from Jack and Angela. He is very literal and is often confused by colloquial expressions or metaphors, despite his high intelligence.
His attempts to use such expressions meet with mixed success, such as referring to a skull he'd cleaned as being "clean enough to eat off of. Brennan while looking for "Icepick" real name, Hugh Kennedy at a model airplane enthusiasts gathering. Unaware of Zack's interest in planes, Booth comments every "airplane freak" in the area was at the event, and Zack corrects him by saying the enthusiasts prefer to be called "pilots.
As seen in the episode " The Man in the Fallout Shelter " Zack has a large family and greatly values them, remarking the true meaning of Christmas is "Brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews; 40 people who love you and are happy to see you. Brennan he uses his vacation time to visit his family. While he does not necessarily enjoy these visits, he goes because they love him " The Man in the Wall ". In " The Pain in the Heart ", Zack's care for his friends is shown: even when working for the Gormogon he protects Hodgins when he knew he'd seriously injure himself in the process.
Looking through his favorite things later, his friends discover that they were all things they'd given Zack which Sweets believes is significant. Episodes towards the end of the first season of Bones reveal that Zack's colleagues, especially Dr. He's therefore not completing any of his Doctorates to avoid having to grow into a new position. Saroyan if he could have a job working at the Jeffersonian, but she replies that she could not put him in front of a court to testify because people would not take him seriously.
Zack then goes to ask Angela for fashion advice and she completely redoes his look including a new haircut and suit. After completing his doctorate, and getting a makeover from Angela, Zack again asks Dr. At the end of the second season, Zack receives a request from the office of the President to ship out to Iraq. What his duties there would be is not revealed, and he only tells Hodgins and Booth about it. He also turns down the offer to be the best man at Hodgins and Angela's wedding in case he decides to go to Iraq and is killed because he doesn't want Hodgins' memories of the wedding to be tainted with sadness.
In the first episode of season 3, it is revealed that he did in fact go to Iraq but returned in that same episode. In the final episode of season three, The Pain in the Heart , Zack receives third-degree burns and massive tissue damage the cartilage on his left hand was destroyed, among other things on both hands after an explosion in the lab. It is later revealed that he is working as the apprentice of the The Gormogon serial killer, and the explosion was intended as a distraction so Gormogon could break into the lab and steal the silver skeleton.
Zack's weaker personality was manipulated by the Gormogon whom he referred to as "the Master" so completely that Zack believed his belief system irrefutable, even killing a lobbyist and dividing his bones among the Jeffersonian's storage units.
However, he still maintained a loyalty to his friends, willing to injure himself to keep Hodgins safe and giving up the location of Gormogon's house after Brennan refuted his logic.
At the end of the episode, the prosecutor Caroline Julian says that while Zack has confessed to killing the lobbyist she is willing to work out a deal to have him declared non-compos mentis , a decision which will commit him to an asylum rather than prison.
Zack will no longer be a regular character on the show, but series creator Hart Hanson said that he may become a recurring character to provide consults to the team with "certain talents we can use in a 'Hannibal Lecter' kind of way.
Feeling guilt about aiding a serial killer and admitting to his mistake, Sweets believes that Zack shouldn't feel bad about being wrong, but about being delusional during the period of being Gormogon's apprentice. Not only that, Sweets believes that Zack should actually feel guilty about killing the lobbyist more than about being wrong. Zack later escapes the institution by swapping the magnetic strips from Sweets' key card to Zack's library card.
After solving the case, Zack realizes it's time to go back to the institution where Sweets was waiting. Because that was the best way to do it, TV wise. Booth got to be a hero, Brennan got to help him fight, everyone who mattered saw the truth at once, and she got to slug him publicly. Anger is safe. The fake rock she mentioned held a key. Thank you for the respectful disagreement. Posting a defense of the plot I have no problem with Zack as the apprentice is not the same as agreeing to how it went down though.
There are far fewer people who like Sweets vs those who like Zack. Oh, yes! If they would have stretched the finale into multiple episodes, they could have done wonders for the plot and all the events that took place. At least things would have been less confusing and more thought out. I do want Zack to come back. I know that he did something that we consider wrong; killing an innocent man is not something people let go of easily.
Or is it? Do we not have soldiers killing innocent people in wars? Nobody ever thinks badly about soldiers who commit murders in war because they consider it justified on behalf of their patriotism to their country. Zack was doing the exact same thing, but instead of patriotism to his country, his patriotism was to the Gormogon and he was eradicating the enemy. I like him for his quirky, awkward, and interesting self. The whole reason this group is together is for science and to help Booth catch the bad guys and right in the middle of that Zack killed someone, specifically someone Booth already tried to save.
That is pretty different, in my mind, to people charged with a duty like soldiers. If they try to come up with some odd plots to get Zack back to the lovable kid just because people are upset I think it will turn out badly. I just hope the bath tub incident was just a prelude to something more concrete…. Both wonderful examples of likeable killers. This episode was one grand cop-out, a slap in the face to those of us who watched the show from the beginning, watching the characters grow and interact.
Zach stabs to death a security guard, perhaps someone he even knew, all because of some supposed personality defect? How do any of us watch future episodes without a sense of betrayal? Finally, not only were the characters not themselves, but the plot devices were cheap as hell. A no-name Gormogast. You are commenting using your WordPress.

Quite the opposite: he has repeatedly said that the show's team was always supportive of his mental health, especially creator Hanson and co-star Emily Deschanel. Millegan shared his bipolar diagnosis in a two-part Huffington Post piece in He explained that he had a tough time dealing with depression and mania while shooting the first season of Bones , partly triggered by moving from New York to LA for the series.
He was diagnosed in , during the first season, and eventually found a combination of medications and therapy that helped stabilize his condition. He also expressed gratitude that had Bones helped him to get through some of his worst days, saying, "I feel I probably would have ended up in a mental hospital if it weren't for the structure that Bones gave me. If you've been keeping an eye on what the cast of Bones is doing today , you'll know that Millegan is still advocating for mental health — and taking time to find the right opportunity to return to television.
Bones' writers cooked up a devious plot twist involving Eric Millegan's character Fox. Eric Millegan did not leave Bones because of his bipolar disorder Frederick M.
