Storyline

The Jeffersonian team is traumatized by Sweets's fatal shooting, but determined to do the late Lance justice by catching the killer. Booth takes charge with nerdy fellow FBI agent James Aubrey. They find his killer, a military vet, on a nearby roof, apparently fatally shot himself, but actually sneakily knife-stabbed to death, expertly. Blackmail in high DC circles keeps blocking their legal moves, almost driving Booth to illegal vengeance, but Hodgins thinks of a zoological model to chart the chain of blackmail since Hoover. Thus the FBI agents find evidence to sustain the hypothetical family tree of secrets-sustained super-scoundrels.

Quotes

Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Booth, you are the one who's running away! You're running away from everything you believe in! Why? Because it's not going the way you want it to? Because it's too difficult for you? What kind of man does that make you, huh? How will you face your God if you... kill an innocent man? Is your faith in him so weak? Your faith in... in me? You're a good man, Booth. Don't let them take that away! Because that really will be the death of you.
Special Agent Seeley Booth: I just want this to stop. I want this to stop.
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: It will
