Dr. Temperance Brennan, a forensic anthropologist who works at the Jeffersonian Institution and also writes books, has an impressive ability to read clues from victims' bones. Consequently, law enforcement calls her to assist with investigations when remains are so badly decomposed, burned or destroyed that standard identification methods are useless. Brennan is teamed with Special Agent Seeley Booth, a former Army sniper, who mistrusts science and scientists when it comes to solving crimes but who has developed respect for Brennan, both professionally and personally.

David Hinckley New York Daily News The episode has a rather ingenious plot and allows both Dr. Camille Saroyan (Tamara Taylor) and Dr. Jack Hodgins (T.J. Thyne) substantial roles in the resolution of the crime. Rated: 3/5 Feb 11, 2013 Full Review Brian Tallerico HollywoodChicago.com The show's incredibly charismatic ensemble still seems vital enough to justify the program's longevity. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 17, 2012 Full Review Liz Medendorp PopMatters The guest appearances were entertaining and the camerawork was inventive, but the real merit of this episode was its return to Bones' endearingly absurd humor. Rated: 7/10 Sep 17, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews
