[ Man ]
Soldiers, form a line![ Horses Blustering ]

[ Men Chattering ]

We got the 2nd Tennessee
up on that hill.

- Support that artillery
on the mountain.
- Set 'em up on the north side.

[ Union Soldier ]
Sayler's Creek was the beginning
of the end for the South.

We dug in and held
you Yankees off
for two days.

Which is why we live
in the Confederate States
of America, I guess. Right?

Our boys
had set up a perimeter
along this here creek.

If we had been able
to get supplies--

[ Scoffs ]
I hate to rub it in,
Duval,

but you rebels had
more soldiers surrender
at Farmville...

than in any other
battle of the war.[ Shovel Clinks ]

You could always
switch sides, you know,
and join the winners.

What the--

What is it?

Oh, my God.

Is that a dead soldier?

That's one of them Yankees
we killed.

Yankee? That's a--
That's a rebel yell
if I've ever seen one.

He's screaming for his mother.
That's how you can tell
he's a Yankee.

General Sheridan,
we got a dead rebel
over here, sir!

No way!
Dead Yankee--It's a dead rebel!

Rebel! Yankee!

- Clearly a rebel!
- Clearly a Yankee!

Is that work or solitaire?

[ Laughs ]
Little brother,
look at you.

Hey.How are you?

Hey. Good to see you.
I thought you were
biking across India.

I was. You know what else?
I survived. [ Laughs ]Survived.

Yeah. I biked through Sikkim.

I hiked to the top
of Himachal Pradesh.

I even learned a few
dirty jokes in Hindi.
You want to hear one?

You didn't get yourself
in any more trouble, did you?

Not unless you count
falling in love.

Wow. Falling in love.
Really? How?

I was swimming with elephants
in the Andaman Islands,

when out of nowhere, Padme
swan-dives off a cliff,

nearly killing both of us.

Padme?

Padme Dalaj.
It's a beautiful name,
right?

Seeley,

I'm thinking of asking
this girl to marry me.

Congratulations. That's-- [ Phone Rings ]

I got to get that.
It's my special murder line.

[ Laughs ]
Okay, you-you go ahead
and save the world.

All right, I'll--I'll catch up with you
later, okay?

Okay. Booth.

Jared's only known her
for a month. One month.

The Confederate soldiers
at Farmville were so hungry...

they scavenged seed and corn
from horse excrement.

Tasty. But who marries
someone after a month?

I thought you believed
in love at first sight.

Only in the movies,
all right?
Not for Jared. Oh!

Look at this.
What is with
the red dirt?

Well, the pine needles
left behind tannic acid,
which acts like red dye.

- Who are these guys?
- He's right.

And years of tobacco farming
drained the land of nutrients.

Which caused the topsoil
to wash away, which
left behind hard clay.

You're better informed
scientifically than
your apparel might suggest.

Well, as amateur historians,
we've studied this battle,
the terrain, military maneuvers.

- You don't say.
- Could you by any chance
tell us...

if that's a fallen Union soldier
or a dead rebel?

The angle of the jaw
indicates a male.

Otherwise, I can't tell anything
until we get the remains
back to the lab.

- All right,
we're gonna need a backhoe.
- And a cement cutter.

And a cement cutter.

You really love
the heavy machinery.

[ Brennan ] This trauma
to the sternum is degraded.

It's as though the bone
has demineralized over time.

Maybe he got bayoneted,
and then the clay
leached out the calcium.

During the American Civil War,

diseases such as
typhoid fever, dysentery...

and tuberculosis killed twice
as many men as battle wounds.

[ Computer Beeping ]That could be relevant.

[ Brennan ]
It is not.Why?

That is not
a Civil War casualty.

Ah. Reconstructive surgery.

- Titanium screws.
- Which were not introduced
until the mid-'60s.

Completely relevant
to the matter at hand,
I believe.

It's going to be very difficult
to extract the remains
from this clay...

without damaging the bones.

Perhaps we could spray it
with liquid nitrogen?

Give it a short,
sharp shock?

No. Freezing the clay
with gas...

would make the bones brittle
and could destroy evidence.

[ Vincent ] But as an idea,
the fast-freezing option--
it needed stating.

[ Screams ]

Whoa!What-What happened?

Spiders.

- I don't like spiders--
- Oh--

- And there are thousands of
little spiders coming out--
- I'll go get Hodgins.

[ Groans ]
I really don't
like spiders.

[ Brennan ]
I don't mind them actually.

[ Vacuum Whirring ]

[ Hodgins ] Spider eggs
were on the body before
it was encased in the clay.

And the heat in the lab
caused the eggs to hatch,

and when you shone
your flashlight,
they headed for the light.

Based on mandibular dentition,
the victim is late 20s,
early 30s.

- Dr. Hodgins, I can, uh,
still see one in his mouth.
- Yep.

These bad boys
are Frontinella communis.

They're nonpoisonous. Yeah.

Still with those gross
spider faces and legs though.

This spider's not found
in the area where the body
was discovered.

Indicating that the victim
was probably offed elsewhere.

Any idea how to, uh, remove
the body from the sediment?

Well, I mean, if we remove
the moisture from the clay,

then it should just fall away
without affecting the bones
at all.

You just need
four dehumidifiers.

You okay there,
Dr. Saroyan?

Yeah, I'm just itchy all over.
I'm gonna go...

burn all of these clothes
and maybe my hair.

Some male spiders
are known to actually--

to pluck their webs
like a guitar
to attract the females.

Someone should tell them
it's drummers
that get the girls.

We're in Bangalore visiting
the Karnataka Belur temple...

when a pickpocket
stole my wallet.

Jared climbed onto the roof
of a building
and tackled the thief.

[ Laughs ]You know, all that hero stuff?

I learned
from my big brother.

That, along with hot-wiring cars
and stealing cable.

[ Padme ]
Jared's very proud of you.Yeah, what can I say?

You know, it's normal
big brother stuff.
That's all.

I'm amazed at how good
your English is.
It's perfect.

That happens when you grow up
in Alexandria, Virginia.

- I'm third-generation American.
- Yes, you are.

Thank you for setting me up
and making me look
like an idiot.

Yeah, that's just normal
little brother stuff.

So, basically, you went
all the way to India...

to meet a girl who lives
down the street from you?

Seeley thinks every decision
I make is wrong.

Like you said--
typical big brother.

Yeah.

[ Chuckles ]
So, what is it that you do
for a living, Padme?

- She's a bank robber.
- It's a normal question,
you know?

She's very glamorous.
I thought maybe she worked
at some glamorous job.

- Hardly. I teach grade school.
- Seeley's got a kid in third
grade. His name's Parker.

There's no one named
Parker at my school.

She's the kids' favorite
teacher, Seeley.

Phosphate and calcium
have leaked from the bones...

into the clay
in several places,

making the bones softer
and the clay harder.

I see you started
with dentition.

Interesting juxtaposition.

Substandard dental work,
but top-of-the-line
materials.

I thought that might help
with identification.

I've seen that before in people
who get their treatment for free
at a dental school.

Suggesting that the victim
was poor.

Specious leap,
Mr. Nigel-Murray.

Tendinitis in his elbow.

The hook of the hamate
shows wear from torque,

rotational force
and repeated tugging.

[ Stammers ]

I only have inappropriate
comments off the phrase
"repeated tugging."

These are occupational markers
for many professions,

including funeral directors,
surgeons, dentists, mechanics.

A dentist would most likely
have his dental work done...

by other students
while in dental school.

That would explain
the work on his teeth.Mm-hmm.

Next I'd like theories as to
what might have caused...

the initial damage
to the sternum.

Even though it's been severely
degraded by demineralization?Yes.

Okay. I'll have to remove
the rest of the clay first.

Oh, I will get you
to praise me, Dr. Brennan.

I will have you
look at me...

with admiration
and astonishment--

I'm sorry, Mr.
Nigel-Murray. Were
you speaking to me?

No, Dr. Brennan.

I was simply-- I was running
through my knowledge...

of clay.

You think your brother's
girlfriend is "hinky"?

Is that slang for pretty
or buxom?No, it's just slang for iffy.

Well, "iffy" is already slang.
I don't see the need
for slang for slang.

Okay, look. The point is,
there was just a hinky vibe
between me and her.

You know what?
I don't expect you
to understand, Bones.

The victim's dental records
confirm his identity.

Dan Pinard.Mm-hmm.

Dentist. Lives alone.

Are they happy together?What?

Jared and Padme.
Do they seem happy? You put
a high premium on feelings.

Don't go twisting
this around, Bones.

You used to think that
people could find true love.

I still do, okay?
But this is Jared, all right?
He only just got sober.

Well, if he's sober,
he should be able to find love.
I don't understand the rules.

Ah. There are no rules.
There's just life, okay?

There's just life.

[ Exhales ]

Big house for a single man.

Looks like he's doing some
serious remodeling, huh?

Door's open. Hold on.

[ Male Announcer On TV ]
Crowd today-- 44,372.

Fourth time that
Baylor's been over 40,000
since a Big 12 school--

[ Continues, Indistinct ]

Hands up.No! No, no. O-Okay.

Okay, this is not
what it looks like.
I'm allowed to be here.

- Who are you?
- Lucas Pickford.

My-My Social Security
number is 308-12--

Okay, Mr. Pickford.
What are you doing here?

I'm Danny's contractor.
I-I live over the garage.

He said I could come in
anytime and use his TV.

Danny is dead. He's dead?

That's where he's been?

Oh, that's right.
He's beendead.

I thought he just...
met someone.

Danny once took off
for three weeks
and never said a word.

Big-screen TV,
cold beer-- I mean,

it's not a great motive
for murder, but I've seen
people kill for less.

Why would I kill Danny?

He owes me money--
like three grand.

You shouldn't be hassling me.
You should talk to his ex.

They had a bad breakup.

- Right. What's her name?
- Chris. But she's a him.

I mean,
it's a Christopher Chris,
not a Christine Chris.

He rents a place
on Dahlgren Road.

[ Whirring ]

There's no faster way
to clean the skeleton?

Oddly, no--
not in a localized fashion.

Dr. Brennan seemed very anxious
to get at the sternum.

Dr. Saroyan,

not to come across as
in any way needy--
[ Chuckles ]

But have you ever seen
Dr. Brennan, um,

compliment or praise
one of us interns?

I wouldn't worry about
praise, Mr. Nigel-Murray.
Strive for mild approval.

[ Exhales ]

Then back to work I go.
Hi-ho, hi-ho. [ Toothbrush Whirring ]

Did you clean
the victim's teeth?

A small sign of respect
for a dentist.

If you want praise,

I'd concentrate on
the sternum if I were you.

Something hit him
there-- hard.

Let's see if we can't
figure out what that was...

and, uh, whether
it killed him.

Okay.

[ Sighs ]

I worked two jobs to put
Dan through dental school.

As soon as his practice was
up and running, he dumped me.

And since Virginia doesn't
recognize gay marriage
or civil unions,

- you weren't entitled to
anything when he left you.
- How is that fair?

It's not.

I'm sorry to inform you
that we have identified some
human remains as Daniel Pinard.

Wait. Uh--
Danny's dead?

When was the last time
you saw him?

I haven't heard
from him, but--

It's got to be a year.

Right. Were you, uh--

- Were you upset when he
broke it off with you?
- What?

Well, like you said,
you didn't have
any legal options.

Not upset enough to kill.
I moved on.

I met someone
after a couple months.
Bygones are bygones, right?

Is that everything now?

Because Danny was a part
of my past, and like I said,
I've moved on.

Actually, no. I'd
like to ask you quite
a few more questions...

if you don't mind.I do mind.

So, excuse me.Booth?

Yeah?

What do you got there?
Looks like an arrowhead.
Is that yours?

I'm a bow hunter.
Whitetail deer.

Yeah. I'm gay and I hunt.
Get over it.

That bow in his truck would
generate sufficient velocity...

for this arrowhead
to cause the trauma
on the victim's sternum.

- Mmm.
- What is she saying?

Basically, she's saying
you have a choice.

Either you come with us
willingly and answer
my questions, or--

[ Sniffs ]
I arrest you.

The damage to the sternum
is not the cause of death.

So the ex-boyfriend's
off the hook?

At a velocity
of 82 meters per second,

a hunting arrow
would not only pierce
the sternum and the heart,

but would sever
the spinal column.

I will point out, uh,
however,

that the angry ex-boyfriend
might still have
killed the victim.

But either he didn't use
a hunting bow...

or he made an amazing shot
from the-the absolute--

the limit of the bow's range,
which-which would be--

It was--
It was very far.

I sounded very much
like Dr. Brennan then,
did I not?

Up until
the "very far," yes.

What did strike our victim
in the chest?

It could easily
have been postmortem.

Probably as a result
of being tipped into a creek.

So we don't have
cause of death?

- Rhubarb.
- Uh, rhubarb--

Uh, the victim was
killed by rhubarb?

- Approximately 10 kilos.
- All right.
I'm usually pretty good...

with following your jumpy little
brain, but you've totally left
me in the dust on this one.

If you can acquire for me
the rhubarb, I can deliver unto
you a skeleton free of clay.

- Rhubarb!
- Rhubarb it is.

Okay, well, you know,
our victim wasn't killed
by an arrow.

Yeah.But, hey, you know,
the good news--

our victim's dental hygienist
says that he gave her
hepatitis C.

The dental hygienist
is gay too?I don't know. I'm gonna ask her.

Her? Did the victim
have heterosexual relations
with his hygienist?

I don't know.
I'm gonna ask her.

Miss Bryson,
I'm Agent Booth.

They said Dan is dead.
What happened?

Well, we were hoping
that maybe you would be able
to help us with that.

- Me?
- Mm-hmm.

[ Grunts ]
How did you
work this up without me?

When I told Dr. Saroyan
that the sternum wound...

was not caused
by a hunting arrow,

my brain jumped to different
types of arrows-- [ Groans ]

which led me to the image
of a giant wasp.

Which was silly,
but which then led me
to stinging nettles,

which are covered
in thousands
of tiny little arrows,

and on the tip of each tiny
little arrow is a drop...

of oxalic acid,
which not only stings,

but works very well
at dissolving silicates.

Silicate causes clay
to adhere.

And rhubarb is
full of oxalic acid.

Okay. Next time someone
says your brain is a jumble
of disconnected chaos,

you just send them to me.[ Laughs ]
I-- People say that?

You need me to stir?

Don't you have lots
of spiders to trace?

Well, there's over 30
separate breeding grounds...

within a 200-mile radius
of the body site.

I'm analyzing the egg sacs
to see if I can
narrow it down further.

But I've got some time.

[ Utensil Clatters ]

And this is so cool.

You want to know
if I had sex with Dan?

Well, you filed
a grievance against him...

requesting the A.D.A.
revoke his license because
he gave you hepatitis C.

No, we didn't have sex.

Dan nicked me
during a procedure.Really?

So, he nicked himself and you?

What about the patient?

It was while
preparing a syringe.

My husband and I
tested positive after that.

[ Chuckles ]
Who believes that story?

- Did your husband
believe that story?
- It ha-- It happened.

How did you really
get hepatitis C?

Tell you what. Before you answer
that question, this here's
a report from the A.D.A....

saying that Dan
never had hepatitis C.

- I had an affair.
- Mm.

I-- I got hep C.

I just-- I needed a way
to explain it to my husband. Right.

Maybe you killed Dan so
your husband wouldn't find out
the truth, or your husband did.

No, neither
of those things happened.

On the day that
Dan Pinard disappeared,

he canceled all
of his appointments
so he could go see Dr. Hibbert.

Only problem is,
we can't find this Dr. Hibbert.

Dr. Hibbert
is the name that Dan wrote
in his appointment book...

when he canceled patients
at the last minute.

Any idea who it
might have been that day?I was already fired.

Right.

You ran a background check
on Jared's girlfriend?

Well, yeah.
You do things like that
for people you care about.

Do you do that when
I go out with someone?

Look, Bones, you're the one who
says not to jump to conclusions
without all the facts.

But you always say
in matters of the heart--Ah, the heart is just a muscle.

See? I'm learning
from you, huh?

Anyways, this whole
background check came up hinky.

Hinky how?

Listen. Four years ago,
this woman was an escort.
Jared's gonna be crushed.

Why? I'm sure she possesses
sophisticated sexual skills,
and if she's reformed--

She's just-- Reformed?
She's a reformed escort.

Well, maybe
Jared already knows.

No, he doesn't know.How do you know
he doesn't know?

Because if he knew,
he wouldn't be talking
about getting married.

He wouldn't be saying
stuff like that.

[ Sighs ]

Hey. Look what Vincent did.

He turned our victim
into rhubarb pie.

Fractures are evident on
at least half a dozen bones,

including possible
cause of death.

Hmm. Fracture to the glabellar
region on the frontal bone.

Head trauma could definitely
be cause of death.

Tendinitis of the shoulder,
broken ribs,

knee trauma
and a nick to the ankle.

- That's all
just the right side.
- Sounds like he was tortured.

He also had Bennett's
fracture of the thumb,
broken left clavicle,

and his knee--You know what? These are
all common football injuries.

Some of the injuries
are over a decade old,

but others show almost
no remodeling, which means--

He was still active
in the sport.

A gay dentist
who plays football.

Do the significant looks
you are exchanging...

mean that you doubt
a gay man can play football
and be a dentist?

No. I mean, for me,
the answer is no.

What I'm thinking
is that American football...

is a bastion
of testosterone-fueled
masculinity.

Maybe one too many
lingering glances in the
locker room got him in trouble.

- Does that happen often?
- Yeah.

I mean-- I mean, with me,
it happened all the time.

If I'd killed everyone
who looked at me lustily,

I wouldn't have made it
out of school.

[ Man ]
Down! Black 80!

Black 80!
[ Shouts ]

[ Men Grunting, Shouting ]

[ Booth ] There's only one
amateur full-contact league
in the D.C. area,

so it wasn't hard to find out
which team Dan played for.

[ Brennan ]
Well, they are not
unlike mountain rams...

that butt heads in an attempt
to attract a mate.

It's hard to believe that
brain damage isn't a result.

It's amazing.
You can even make football
sound bad, Bones.

Come on, ladies. My little
sister hits harder than that.

Filmore, do you want me
to get you a skirt?

He's challenging
their masculinity
to enhance aggression.

That's coach talk.
It's the way coaches talk.
Let me handle this. Excuse me.

Coach, F.B.I.
Special Agent Seeley Booth.

This here is my partner,
Dr. Temperance Brennan.

Like to ask you a few
questions about Dan Pinard.

Yeah, well, he better
be in prison.

That's the only excuse
I'll accept for how long
he's been gone.

We found his body.

Oh, my God.

I'm sorry. Did any of Dan's
teammates or opponents have
any problems with him?

What, he was murdered?Mmm.

No. No, no.
Uh, all the guys loved Dan.

Is it possible that someone's
masculinity was threatened...

and that person killed Dan
because he was a homosexual?

Way to ease into
that one, Bones.
That's smooth.

No, that's definitely
not an issue with my guys.

What makes your team
so highly evolved, Coach?

Meet the Cardinals,
Agent Booth.
We're all gay.

- Good hit!
- [ Whistle Blows ]

So, anybody here have
any problems with Dan?

Disagreements,
arguments, fights?

Everyone here
joined this team...

because a lot of
the straight players don't
want us on their teams.

We're like family.
No one here hurt Dan.

No way.And you're all gay?

Oh, I suppose,
statistically,

we could have
two or three straights
who are still in the closet.

[ Laughing ]

Booth, this is
Dan's equipment bag.

I found his protective
headgear inside.

- That's a helmet, Bones.
- [ Laughter ]

There's blood
on the inside of the lip.

It approximates the location of
the fracture on Dan's forehead.

The force could have cracked
his skull and killed him.

Are you sure
nothing happened here?
One of your guys--

they probably could have
hit Dan in practice
a little too hard,

- try to cover it up.
- [ Coach ]
What are you saying?

You lose your insurance,
you're kicked out
of the league, but, hey,

it was just
an accident, right?

I tell you what.
Anybody who's got
plans for this weekend,

- just cancel 'em.
- [ Players Muttering ]

- [ Man ] What are we, suspects?
- Because of blood
on a football helmet?

Because of blood inside
of a football helmet.
Isn't that right, Bones?

That's correct.

I was draining the vat when
I noticed these white things
floating in the rhubarb stew.

Spider eggs, right?No.

No, the boiling water
would have destroyed the eggs.

[ Taps Keyboard ]So what are they?

- I have no idea.
- Always glad to sow confusion.

This man endured
a remarkable amount of abuse.
It must have been tough.

Yeah, this ain't England, pal.
Being gay in America
is still a tough go.

I was referring to being
a football player.

Yeah, I-I knew that.

Four years ago, Jared's
girlfriend was a hooker?

An escort. I believe,
in the hierarchy
of prostitution,

an escort ranks equal
to high-class call girl.

And now she teaches
grade school?

Mm-hmm.

I don't see any other
injuries to the bone
that could be cause of death.

That leads us back
to the head trauma.

Apparently the rule is:
once a sex worker,
always a sex worker.

You know, it really
would have been better
if Booth never ran her record.

He said it was my influence,
that it was the rational
thing to do.

No, sweetie,
he's rationalizing.

Which makes what he did
irrational because
he's rationalizing...

that Jared cannot make
rational decisions
for himself.

You do the same thing
all the time. Maybe that's
what he learned from you.

In order to be fatal, whatever
struck the frontal bone...

had to be pointed enough
to pierce the brain.

Now, wait a second.
Is Booth gonna tell
Jared about this?

I believe that's his plan.What if Jared and this woman
are really in love?

Booth could ruin everything.

Well, not if, as Booth always
asserts, love conquers all.

[ Scoffs ] Yeah,
well, this is gonna be
one hell of a test case.

I ran blood tests on the items
in Dan's athletic bag.

I found evidence
of someone else's blood.

Football is a contact sport.
There are bound to be traces...

of other people's D.N.A.
on his uniform.

This was more than a trace,
and it wasn't on his uniform.
It was all over his towel.

We ran it through CODIS
and got a match.

Thirty-two-year-old man
named Cyd Zigler.

Zigler is a firefighter
and a former marine.
He lives in Greenbelt, Maryland.

He plays for one
of the other teams
in Dan's league.

One of the straight teams?Yeah, it was a big game.

Zigler fumbles,
the victim recovers,

scores a touchdown--
game over.

Well, I doubt even a homophobe
would kill for that.

Yeah, but a fight ensues. Oh, so they fought?

If Dan won
a physical altercation
in front of both teams,

there's a certain personality
type that might feel impugned
enough to strike back.

Go on. Gay guy beats up
a certain type of straight guy,

straight guy can't handle it.Well, see, that's
what I wanted to know.

Now, did the victim
and Zigler have any contact
since their fistfight?

Well, the two of them--
they played against
each other...

- in a game the weekend
before Dan disappeared.
- Okay.

Jared.Hey!

Seeley, your message
sounded urgent. What's going on?Uh--

Thanks for the gay insights.

You're welcome.

- [ Sighs ]
- Okay.

You got that big brother look
all over your face,

like the time you had
to tell me the puppy
I brought home was a rat.

[ Chuckles ]Yeah, right.

Uh-- Well, um,
it's sort of happened again.

Okay, what the hell
are you talking about?

There are some things that
you need to know about Padme.

You ran a background check
on my girlfriend?

What? No. She was arrested
for prostitution four years ago.

Shut up, Seeley. Shut it.

The charges, they didn't stick,
but you need to know
that she was an escort.

- You just can't stand
to see me happy, can you?
- No, that's not true.

If I were in your shoes,
I'd want to know if my
girlfriend was hiding something.

No. You wouldn't.
Okay?

I have watched you for years.
I learned.

You would make your own
judgment. You wouldn't care
what other people said.

You'd say exactly
what I'm gonna say.

Go to hell.

[ On Speaker ]
Look, I called him a fag.
The dude kicked my ass.

End of story.You got a problem
with gays?

No. That was over a year ago.
Look, what's this all about?

I'm trying to put together
a sequence of events before
Dan Pinard disappeared.

Disappeared?
Wh-Wh-- What do you mean,
"disappeared"?

We, uh, found your blood
on his towel.

I-I cut myself during a game.
You know, big gash on my leg.

Danny used his towel
to stop the bleeding.
What do you mean, "disappeared"?

He came up to you in the
locker room and he presses
that towel on your leg?

I thought--

I thought it was only me.

I thought Danny
didn't want to see me anymore.

And I-I called him.
I-I went by his place
a hundred times.

Nothing.

Hmm.

Why do you think he didn't
want to see you again?

'Cause, I mean, Danny had it
all figured-- who he was.

I wasn't ready.

To come out of the closet.

For any of it.

That made Danny mad
sometimes, you know--

frustrated.

Is Danny dead?

You, uh--

You think I killed him.

Danny was, uh--

The only time I've ever
been happy was with Danny.

I wouldn't expect you
to understand.

I-- I don't guess anyone
would understand.

[ Hodgins ]
Mmm, looks like
cause of death to me.

Cause of death? Yes, yes,
but I cannot discern...

the cause of the cause of death,
so to speak.

Okay. Bugs and slime, pal--
different discipline
entirely. Sorry.

There appear to be three
separate fractures on the skull.

We couldn't see them before
because all of the fracture
lines connect.

Okay, so the victim was hit
three times instead of once.

Dr. Brennan thinks that
the brain was pierced
when the skull was hit.

Brain piercing?
Yeah, sounds very
death-causing to me.

The beveling on the exterior
of the skull...

suggests that all three
fracture points emanate
from inside the skull.

His forehead exploded
from the inside out.

Again, very "deathy."

Wait a minute. What--

What would cause
someone's forehead
to explode from the inside?

I was hoping that you'd say
it had something to do...

with those
bulbous seedy jobbers that
I thought were spider eggs.

No. I mean--

Oh.

Wow.

"Wow"?

What "wow"?

All right, so Zigler,
he was a marine.

He gets married to a woman.
It lasts six years. Why?

Why did his marriage
last six years?No, why did he get married?

Well, most likely Zigler
was trying to conform
to social norms.

In many cultures,
homosexuality is revered.

Anthropologically, it makes
no sense for heterosexuals to
be threatened by homosexuals...

because they're actually
removing themselves
from competition for mates.

Right, so Zigler forces
himself to conform,

then the dentist comes along
and forces, you know,
Zigler to confront.

Zigler couldn't come to terms
with his sexual orientation,

so when the victim
elicited this flood
of unwanted feelings in him,

he transferred the self-loathing
from himself to the victim.

Native Americans
believed that homosexuals
were of two spirits.

Held them in high esteem.
So what's the problem?

[ Chuckles ]
It's no problem. Why are you
looking at me like that?

I was a soldier. I mean,
gay guys-- they saved my life
in battle more than once.

So, are you saying that
if a former prostitute
saved your life in battle,

- that would solve the problem
with Jared's girlfriend?
- What?

Seriously, you're gonna
bring that up in front
of Sweets right now?

- It's a rational question.
- I'm sorry. Jared's involved
with a prostitute?

Former. Former prostitute.Bones.

- What?
- Oh. Did you run a background
check on Jared's girlfriend?

Okay, why is everybody saying
that to me like it's some sort
of terrible thing?

- 'Cause it's kind of terrible.
- I'm just looking out
for my brother. That's all.

So can we just, you know,
focus on the case?

Yeah. Uh, well, the fact
that the suspect carries
in his wallet a photo...

of them together--
it doesn't really jibe
with homosexual panic.

Great. Thanks.
That's all I need to know.
I got enough.

Thanks.
Appreciate it, Sweets.

- Wow. That was--
- I have to go too.

"Thank you, Dr. Sweets,
for your invaluable
psychological insights...

into the human condition."

Do you know what
Vincent Nigel-Murray is?
He's a genius.

Yes, but so are we all--
except for Angela.Oh.

Right. And yet,
who do you turn to
when you need pretty pictures?

Dr. Hodgins figured out
what caused the fracture
to the frontal bone.

Vincent found these small
particulates floating
in the rhubarb stew, right?

Well, I identified them
as silica phytolith,

which is a razor-thin,
clear, hard shell
which protects seeds.

Now, the victim was tossed
into the creek bed, where
his body quickly decomposed.

Flooding from the rain
washed the clay and debris...

into that creek bed,
which encased the body.

Now, in all that muck,
three periwinkle seeds...

became embedded within
the victim's skull.

- Okay.
- It's called floral turbation.

Over time,
soft can become
even harder than hard,

like, uh, a sliver of grass
that grows through cement.

The same kind of process
that causes tree roots
to destroy pipes.

So, a seedling fractured
the frontal bone?

Three of them.

So, head trauma was not
cause of death.

[ Brennan ]
We have no
cause of death.

Did she seem disappointed
to anyone else?

She definitely seemed
disappointed to me.

The pollen from the egg sac
is from hickory pine trees.

But they don't grow
where the body was found.

She didn't even want me
to help her examine the bones.

Okay. You're not
listening to me.

Yes, the, um--
the-the keening shriek...

of intern anxiety
is interfering
with my hearing.

There is a slice
on the medial malleolus.

Yes. Uh, duly noted
in my report.

But you didn't note
what that might mean.

I would... most definitely
have done so...

if-if I had the slightest
inkling of what it might mean.

Whatever caused the nick
on this bone must have cut
the posterior tibial artery.

Oh. Yes. Tissue.

Um, posterior tibial artery--

[ Stammers ]
Massive bleeding.

Dude, you should totally just
toss culpability onto Cam.

I need to know
if the weapon that caused this
left any trace in the bone.

Well, Vincent's
rhubarb stew...

completely washed away all
the surface particulates.

See how that's done?

We can sand down the top
layer of bone cells...

and analyze
what lies beneath.

Thank you.

[ Sighs, Gasps ][ Whirs ]

My bad.

You can't blame
Mr. Nigel-Murray.
The nick was on the bone,

but I should have realized
the implications for the flesh,
and I didn't.

I agree.

Then why are you
letting him worry that
he's disappointing you?

Mr. Nigel-Murray
should be aware by now...

that I don't hold others
to my level of expertise.

Otherwise, I'd have
no one to help me.

How would he know that
if you don't tell him?

[ Hodgins ]
Tungsten carbide,
which is a compound used...

to coat various
types of tools.

Including dental tools.

I distinctly remember saying
to you once, "Good job,
Mr. Nigel-Murray."

I'm saying it again now.

Cheers.
Brilliant, that.

- One of the suspects
was Dan's dental hygienist.
- Grace Bryson.

Mm-hmm.Hey, where does she live?

- Fairfax, Virginia.
- Okay, the pollen I found...

in the sheet weaver spider's
egg sac came from
hickory pine trees.

They don't grow where the body
was found, but you can find them
all over that part of Virginia.

Motive, theoretical weapon,
spiders.

That should be enough
for an arrest.

So, according to
Grace Bryson's statement,
she and her husband...

were at a yoga retreat
when Dan Pinard disappeared.

Well, the retreat
was in Silver Spring.

That's close enough
to drive back, kill Dan
and then return to the spa.

Right. It could be both
her and her husband.

Mmm.
When your gut speaks to you,

do you think it could be
an increase in stomach acid
due to anxiety?

Huh?

I... feel some anxiety.Okay. About what?

About your sudden abandonment
of a belief system.

Really, it's-it's
making my stomach upset.You know what?

You are really just, um--
Crack a window there, Bones.

All right?
Just get some air.

You told me that my father's
criminal past didn't matter,

that the love
between us was real,
and that was all that mattered.

Because I believed you,
my father and I have
a relationship today.

Okay. I'm glad
I could help out.

I'm anxious because I can't
see any meaningful difference...

between my father
and your brother's girlfriend.

Can you explain that to me?

It's a question of logic,
so I'm just gonna be quiet now
while you work your way through.

[ Sighs ] I already
told you where I was--
at the yoga retreat.

Yeah, we know that,
but you would have had
more than enough time...

to leave the retreat
and return.

Well, I didn't,
so can you leave me alone?

After Dan fired you,
you couldn't find
a job, could you?

Well, that wasn't Dan's fault.
That was the hepatitis.

Ms. Bryson, do you own
a set of dental tools?

- I had to buy a set
when I was in school. Why?
- Can we see 'em?

[ Sighs ]
No.

Not without a warrant.

When did you put in
this driveway?Excuse me?

When were these
paving stones laid?

A few months ago.

[ Sighs ] Is there
something illegal now about
doing home improvements?

- What's going on, Bones?
- Look at the stones.

[ Booth ]
Well, you know what?
These stones-- they look...

just like the ones
that were at Dan's house.

It's the same contractor--
Lucas.

I met him at Dan's office
before I was fired.

Well, he said he had
some extra materials...

- left over from Dan's job
and he could give me a deal.
- That's a scam.

Lucas was reselling
the supplies that Dan
had already paid for.

Well, I didn't know that.

Was Lucas working
on the driveway when you
were at the yoga retreat?

Yeah. He was finished
by the time we got back.

It was the fastest
he ever finished anything.

- We need to dig these up.
- Backhoe and a cement cutter.

[ Sighs ]

The bottom
of the paving stones
are covered in blood.

All the samples
I've taken are a match
for the victim.

He bled out on the ground.
Then it was paved over.

Behold-- Lucas Pickford's
grout scraper.

He used it for installing
the paving stones.Coated in tungsten carbide.

- Please tell me it's a match.
- It is, in fact,
a perfect match...

for the injury
to the victim's ankle.

Yeah? Cheers.
Brilliant.

Hmm? No,
she didn't say anything.[ Sighs ]

I-- I discerned a lovely--

a little glint of
approbation in her eye.

I-I admit it.
We had an argument.

- About the paving stones?
- Yeah.

- Did you call him something?
- A vulgar slur
for "homosexual"?

In the heat
of the moment maybe.

I mean, but you should have
heard what he was calling me.

Dan knocked me down
and he started kicking me,

so I grabbed the-the scraper
and swung it at him
to get him off me.

In self-defense.Yeah. Yeah, that's it.

I-I'll admit it.
It was self-defense.

Yeah, except, um,
you didn't call 911. No.

You just watched him
bleed to death, and then you
dumped his body in a ditch.

[ Stammers ]

If he charged me
with theft,

I lose my contractor's
license.

My whole livelihood.
For what?

A few dozen
paving stones?

The guy attacked me
for a few dozen paving stones.

You robbed him,
you lied about it,
and you called him a fag.

To him, that was a big deal.

[ Murmurs ]

[ Brennan ]
I'm sure Jared wants to
talk to you alone, Booth.

No, he asked for you to be here.I really don't want to be
in the middle of a fight.

I'm not gonna fight.
There's gonna be no fighting.
Promise. All right?

So, you really think
I was wrong?I don't know if you were wrong.

But I fail to see
the point of being right.

Okay.

I've really been thinking
about what you said.

What if I ruined it for him?
What if he was
really happy with her?

I imagine you would never
forgive yourself.

Thanks.On the bright side,
he might totally ignore you.

Great. Thank you.

Well, perhaps Jared
will think for himself.

Isn't that all you've ever
really wanted for him?

- Well--
- Hey. Sorry we're late.

Padme, this is
Temperance Brennan.Hi.

This is my brother's
partner/friend.

- Nice to meet you.
- Pleasure.

So, here we are.

[ Chuckles ]
Think we can talk
outside privately?

No. Whatever you want
to say, you can say
to the both of us.

See, we don't have
secrets, Seeley.

Never did-- about anything.

I suspect Jared is implying
that he already knew about
Padme's past as an escort.

Great. Thanks, Bones.
I got that.

Jared and I have come
to grips with... everything.

Yeah. So, the question is,
are you in or are you out?

I'm in.That's good, 'cause, uh,

I really wanted to know
if you'd be my best man.

- [ Brennan Gasps ]
- Wow. It's--

- It's so soon. It's only
been-- what, a month?
- [ Kicking ]

- Ow.
- What?

- Oh.
- Temperance-- she kicked
me under the table.

- Pretty sure
she was aiming for you.
- Definitely meant for me.

Well, if that's true,
I like her.

I'd like to make a toast.

- What is this?
- It's her new thing.

She's really good
at making toasts though.

Maybe we should get some
champagne though.Jared is an alcoholic, Booth.

No secrets.

[ Brennan Clears Throat ]

When Booth and I first met,

I didn't believe that such
a thing as love existed.

I maintained that it was
simply brain chemistry.

But perhaps Booth
is correct.

Perhaps love comes first...

and then creates
the reaction.

I have no tangible proof,
but...

I'm willing to accept
Booth's premise.

To love.

- To love.
- To love.

To love.

[ No Audible Dialogue ]

What's that mean?
