Why did Brennan take Christine with her
  • When she was framed by Pelant with doctored security cam footage, she decided to go on the run. OK, I understand that, considering that Pelant is pretty much a wizard who can do whatever he wants with computers, no matter how stupid it is, and being put in the system is a horrible idea. But why, WHY did she take her infant daughter on the run with her instead of leaving her with Booth? Did she believe that having the baby sleeping under bridges (which she admitted doing) was better than being in a safe, warm home with her loving, protective father?
    • Pelant was clearly a psychopath who was capable of anything. You don't see where she might have been scared he'd hurt Christine just to get to her? Remember, he'd already killed her friend playing his sick mind games.
    • Babies don’t really care where they’re sleeping if they’re with one of their parents. Bones is breastfeeding, stopping that suddenly usually doesn’t go well for mom or baby.
