    Wait for the Gotcha

    Hodgins allows spiders to get into Cam's office, terrifying her. But she uses the old "You'll never know when it's coming" attack to get back at him. This case involves a bunch of rich kids trying to get into a prestigious college and their overbearing parents. Their beloved tutor is the victim this time and Booth and Brennan must wade through layers, including the fact that one of the parents is, herself, a lawyer who knows the ropes. There are two subplots. Once is the appearance of Aubrey's father and his efforts to deal with the guy who is indeed a pariah. The second has Fisher telling Brennan that her novels are trashy and not very good. There are some cool implications for that as well.

      Jack Hodgins: [Looking at a shotgun] I don't think that he was shot with these guns.

      Camille Saroyan: You've determined that already?

      Jack Hodgins: Thanks to Parasteatoda Tepidariorum.

      Camille Saroyan: [Has a closer look at it] Hmm, what is that?

      Jack Hodgins: They're spiders, Cam.

      Camille Saroyan: [Backs away] Oh God! How about a warning for us non-Latin speakers next time? Careful with that in my office!
