    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The victim of the episode is a parody of conservative pundit Rush Limbaugh.
    • Goofs
      The wild scavenger animals here were supposedly "short tailed weasels" aka ermine, which are small, nocturnal, elusive animals that live in wild brushy areas. They do not hang out in town garbage dumps to scavenge cadavers in broad daylight. Even worse, the animals shown are clearly tame domestic ferrets, which are at least twice the size of a short tailed weasel and don't look anything like them. And once again Hodges once more bare-handedly catches a wild animal that would run away long before he got near it, or bite viciously if cornered.
    • Quotes

      FBI Special Agent James Aubrey: You are an idiot, you know that?

      Special Agent Seeley Booth: Excuse me.

      FBI Special Agent James Aubrey: Do you really think you're gonna do better than me?

      Special Agent Seeley Booth: You should get out while you can.

      FBI Special Agent James Aubrey: Look, I know that what happened to you is messed up. And then what happened to Sweets. But remember that Sweets trusted me to work with you. So when you treat me like crap, you're treating Sweets like crap, too.
