Spock has refined his theory a bit more. From observation, he doesn't believe the energy creature is actually attached to the children in a possession kind of way. He describes it more like a tether. The creature is the balloon and the string from it is tied to them. All we have to do is find a way to separate them.
While Bones being over-protective of them is going to make things difficult, I still enjoy watching the dynamics between him and the children. They've really become attached to each other.
