Season 3, Episode 5
10/10
The corpse in the pile of corpses
24 October 2021
Warning: Spoilers
A mummified corpse is found in a corn maze by a small child who ran into the maze and then immediately forgot what the point of a maze is. Booth also has no respect for the craft and totally cheats when it comes to finding the body in the maze.

The body's clothes lead them to a totally unconcerned thrift store man, who explains that people in clothes from his store show up dead all the time, and he has much more serious crimes to worry about, like Fornication and Gambling.

A second body is found at a Funhouse, where Booth talks to an EMT who gets a suspiciously large number of close-ups. He also talks to all the Funhouse employees and recognizes one of them from Boy Meets World, I mean from the corn maze. Turns out Boy Meets World hooks up with the girls, and then his girlfriend Lola roughs them up and sends them on their way. Later Booth threatens to start pulling out Lola's piercings not starting with the ones on her face, but I would be a lot more comfortable if he started with the ones on her face.

The squints figure out the theme of the killings, but no, Cam, the murderer is not literally scaring girls to death. He is literally drugging and burying them to death.

They call up some poor harried pet shop owners to inquire about their snake inventory, and goddamn it people, don't you know it's Halloween, PEAK snake season, and if you want a whole bunch of snakes you should really order ahead?? The killer has already scooped up all the available snakes in the area, which tells us his latest victim, Megan, is still alive.

Booth and Bones manage to save Megan! Hooray! I wonder if anyone will tell Megan her mom had already given her up for dead.
