Despite his sharp mind, Zack grapples with uncertainty, particularly evident in his hesitation to assert himself, especially with Dr. Brennan. This dynamic is thoughtfully explored, potentially influenced by an undercurrent of romantic feelings for his colleague. When he discovered Dr. Brennan’s own [[Forensic anthropology|Forensic Anthropology]] professor had become her lover, Zack repeatedly wondered aloud whether he might enter into a similar relationship with Dr. Brennan.<ref>{{cite episode |

Zachary “Zack” Uriah Addy, Ph.D.,[1] is a fictional character in the television series Bones. The character is portrayed by Eric Millegan and was introduced as Dr. Temperance Brennan‘s young assistant at the beginning of the series before he received his doctorate in forensic anthropology in season 2.
Millegan was a main character throughout seasons 1 to 3, appearing in all episodes. Since then, he has made guest appearances in season 4, season 5, the season 11 finale, and had a recurring role in the series’ final season.
The character, Addy, grew up in Michigan and is the youngest of three brothers and four sisters. He is a child prodigy with an I.Q. level above 163 and an eidetic memory. At the beginning of the show, he has started two doctorates—one in forensic anthropology, the completion of which is shown on-screen in the episode “Judas on a Pole,” and the other in applied engineering, the completion of which is referred to in “The Killer in the Concrete”.
His specialty is in the analysis of remains, especially identifying the causes of death and weapons from marks on skeletal remains. Usually, it is his task to remove the flesh from the bones, a process known as maceration.
In the final episode of Season 3, Addy receives major injuries after an explosion in the lab. It is later revealed that he was working as an apprentice to the Gormogon, a cannibalistic serial killer, and the explosion was staged as a distraction. Addy’s weaker personality was easily manipulated by Gormogon, though he still maintained loyalty to his friends. He pleads guilty to killing the lobbyist and declares Non compos mentis, which leads him into a mental asylum rather than to prison.[2]
Zack Addy returns in the 100th episode as a flashback to Booth and Brennan’s first case together.
