Kyle Richardson has fled, hitting his present girlfriend Karen Tyler, according to her to save her the risks of coming with him, she is soon caught on several lies.

Goofs

(at around 2 mins) In the opening sequence Booth says that "the body washed up in the bay" and then a moment later Bones and Booth are shown driving west across the national mall (away from the Chesapeake Bay) as Bones says that taking "the I-70" will be faster. The I-70 runs west, and away from the Chesapeake Bay, out of Baltimore Maryland (approximately 40 miles north) and the I-270 is the spur just outside of Washington D.C. that connects to it, but that would take you northwest and also away from the Chesapeake Bay.

Grue aplenty

Bones deals with the remains of a woman whose body is found in the bay, along with the remains of an infant that turns out not to be hers. Booth goes in search of the husband, who has vanished. Things get even more complicated when it is discovered the woman did not die in salt water. And Bones clashes with Cam yet again. The plot line is based on the Lacey Peterson case. The killer is revealed a tad early, unfortunately. But this gives Bones an opportunity later to ponder the mysteries of motherhood. She has a great line when a group of moms try to explain to Booth the bonding that takes place between a mother and her child,.
