User Reviews

Class warfare

The body of a student at a posh private school is found hanging from a tree. B&B aren't so sure it was a suicide, and pretty soon, with the help of Brennan's team, it's evident it wasn't. Sex tapes and something far worse turn out to be involved. Snooty school officials rub Booth, a public school grad, the wrong way. Brennan shows her usual lack of decorum and tact by letting the school head know that Booth doesn't like him. Truth is, Booth isn't much more tactful when he tells the guy he may just take him down to FBI HQ in handcuffs. A dark, early episode with more than its share of zingers and barbs. Booth is pushing for an access card to Brennan's lair while she's pushing for her own gun.
