What Happened To Hodgins In Bones?
Fans of the Fox crime series Bones have dealt with the loss of many characters. Still, the character trajectory of Jack Hodgins (T.J. Thyne), one of the characters on the show from episode one until the series finale, has particularly hurt them. After sustaining a life-altering injury, the character's life began to change. Hodgins is examining a dead body dumped on the street in the season 11 episode "The Doom in the Boom" when he discovers a strange-looking cell phone in its pocket. Unfortunately, that phone turns out to be a bomb, and Hodgins is blown backward by the subsequent detonation. He was injured, but he appears to have escaped without serious injury.

After appearing on the mend, Hodgins suddenly loses sensation in his legs and collapses to the ground at the end of the episode. He's rushed to the hospital, where a doctor reveals that the damage to his spine caused by the blast was exacerbated by the blood-thinning effects of an Aspirin he took in the aftermath. As a result, Hodgins has been rendered paralyzed from the waist down.
Making the abrupt transition to living with a disability and using a wheelchair is difficult for Hodgins, who lashes out angrily at his loved ones. Unfortunately, Hodgins' behavior turned some Reddit fans' love for him into hatred.

Does Hodgins Die In Bones?
He was injured, but he appears to have escaped without serious injury. Fans sympathized with Hodgins' injury, but his behavior in the aftermath had some wondering how much slack they should cut him. Although many Bones fans understood that he was in physical and psychological pain, his rude and dismissive attitude toward those around him, particularly his wife Angela (Michaela Conlin), seemed inexcusable. Nobody was jumping up and down to defend Hodgins' actions, though some Reddit users saw things differently. While they all agreed that the way he treated those around him was repulsive, they understood why he was acting the way he was.

Hodgins holds three doctorates: one in entomology, one in botany, and one in geology/mineralogy. Although, around the Jeffersonian, he is known as the "bug and slime guy," Booth frequently refers to him as "bug boy," a reference to Hodgins' knowledge of and affection for all insects in general. During an investigation, he primarily deals with particulates and trace evidence and uses insect activity to determine the time of death.
Hodgins eventually gets his lab suite, dubbed the "OOkey Room," where he does most of his lab work, keeps his arthropod collection, and conducts most of his experiments. In episode 10 of season 4, "The Bones That Blew," Hodgins stated that he chose a career in science because he wanted to "figure stuff out in amusing ways." In several episodes, he has cooked edible food using the lab apparatus, much to the amusement of his coworkers.
