Plot

While Brennan is paired up with another FBI agent to solve the murder of a co-ed found inside an alligator in the Everglades, Booth is sent to therapy after shooting a clown-shaped speaker on an ice cream truck.

The two B's are called to the Florida Everglades to investigate a human arm found in an alligator. Before they arrive, Booth is so irritated by an ice-cream cart's nagging 'music' that he shoots the clown-shaped loudspeaker; the FBI sends him to frightfully erudite and suave British psychotherapist Dr. Gordon Wyatt's home, where the perfectionist control freak's professional and private frustrations, including Epps's fatal balcony fall, are handled in a frustrating and yet calming way, while building a garden barbecue... Meanwhile Bones continues with Special Agent Tim 'Sully' Sullivan, whose apparent lack of interest and dedication makes her appreciate their friend and colleague Booth more, decides to ship the whole alligator to the Jeffersonian for examination and learns about Sully's varied qualifications and other options in life besides an FBI career, unlike totally focused Booth. Medical records of the missing Everglades kids who recklessly come close to alligators identify the victim as Judy Dowd, a Virginia State student; her father Bill believed her happy. Zach still searches the right tone to strike now he's a doctor and promoted above Angela. Hodges is suspiciously well-informed about the website Judy's college friend Abigail 'Abby' Sims tells she was on: HotStudentBodies, where the youngsters eagerly reveal more then girls care their parents to know about, owned by rich dandy Monte Gold, who has a record of teenagers abuse charges. Judy had vaginal lesions, a weird fatal back wound and her stomach contains gold traces from his trade-mark show-off liquor. Searching Monte's bus and leaning on staff shows Judy was drunk and had sex on it before it passed the alligator trail: then Monty is found dead, just near where crazy preacher Isaac Horn ranted against his immorality...—KGF Vissers

A girl's arm found in an alligator sends the investigation to a video sleaze king and a rabid Christian. Meanwhile, Booth has been ordered to a psychiatrist after an incident with his gun, so Bones gets another FBI partner, Tim 'Sully' Sullivan.—layle

Booth is still reeling from the death of Epps. Killing has been a part of his life, from his military background to his work with the FBI. One day he is annoyed by an ice cream truck and shoots out the plastic clown on the roof and doesn't bat an eye. He is sent to shrink and is put on leave. His encounter with the guy proves to be a major factor in Booth's life because he has not faced some realities. The main plot is a young college student on spring break, eaten by a huge alligator. She was part of a group of girls being exploited by a sleazy guy who had achieved quite a bit of fame. Because Booth can't help her, Bones works with a handsome guy named Sullivan who is looking to leave the bureau at some point. The two of them work together quite well, and there is a spark. In another place, Angela makes a careless mistake which has dire consequences.—Hitchcoc
