With Booth out of commission due to injuries sustained escaping the Gravedigger's latest trap, Brennan must continue to work with Agent Perrota. This time, they investigate the death of a promo model for a popular Fan Convention that might also be connected to an age-old prop of Excalibur from a famous French movie, La Mort d'Arthur.
Tropes
- Closest Thing We Got: Basically the reason the team work with Agent Perrota; they don't particularly like her, but it's easier working with someone they know rather than trying to break in somebody completely new while Booth's unavailable.
- Out Sick: Booth sits this episode out since he hurt his back due to the events of the previous episode.
- Shameful Source of Knowledge: Averted: Fisher is well aware that he could get into trouble for sleeping with someone who is now a suspect, but doesn't withhold what he knows because of that. Because of this, the team learns that a Pear of Anguish was used on the Victim of the Week, because the lady in question used one on Fisher during their night together. He describes this night as the most erotic and terrifying of his life.Hodgins: Way I see it, Fisher's like a deep cover agent. He infiltrated the enemy to uncover secrets. In order to do so, he had to suffer a night of passion with a beautiful but dangerous enemy.
Fisher: You have no idea how dangerous.
