Storyline

Bones meets Dr. Camille 'Cam' Saroyan, an ex of Booth and recently created the first-ever head of forensics at the Jeffersonian, at the site of a train/car crash with three fatalities, including US senator Paula Davis and Wall Street tycoon Warren Lynch, who was dead at least six hours earlier, and whose firm Lynchpin International was about to face SEC proceedings, likely to make his stock plummet - an opportunity for stock short-selling worth many millions. Lynch was also on Mexican heroin with the boosting narcotic fentanyl and found out as serially unfaithful by his wife Brianna. Lynch's P.I. Rick Turco says he was hired to investigate a yet unknown blackmailer. Booth traces the heroin to petty dealer Eddie Bean. Vince McVicar, the pig farmer who killed Bones' mother, is himself murdered in jail; his killer admits to have been hired by her own father, Max Keenan. Zack and Angela find the Lynch corpse is actually not his, dental records were expertly falsified; shortly thereafter ...

Goofs

Booth mentions that Warren Lynch was captured traveling illegally in the "diamond" lanes on I-270 in MD at 1:56 pm. In the metro DC area, carpool lanes are commonly referred to as HOV (High Occupancy Vehicle) lanes. In addition, HOV restrictions would not have been in effect at that time of day. If Lynch was headed southbound, HOV restrictions are only in place from 6:30 am to 9:30 am. If he was headed northbound, the restrictions are applicable from 3:30 pm to 6:30 pm. Also, the highway cameras that captured Lynch's infraction belong to the county, not the MD State Police, and are typically used to monitor traffic flow (not catch HOV lane violators).

Quotes

Dr. Jack Hodgins: [to Brennan trying to cheer her up about not being named Goodman's replacement, and Cam was] You're not a flesh-pressing, ink-stained, policy-making wank-tard.

User Reviews

Boring story, but some interesting parts

I'm not a fan of Cam at all. I haven't liked her in the entire eleven seasons. I don't like that Booth has a "thing" for her in the beginning (but perhaps that because I'm already convinced Booth and Brennan are an item).

There's more revealed on Brennan's story involving her parents. I won't reveal anything, but it doesn't shed good light on her father. We'll continue to learn more as the season progresses.

The main story isn't that great - I've watched it twice and I guess it just doesn't hold my interest enough for me to totally understand it. But the show is worth the watch to meet Cam and get info on the parents.
