A petrified human body found buried under a mound of salt leads back to a pregnancy pact at a local high school in which multiple students have children all by he same father. Meanwhile, Roxie breaks up with Angela, who, seeking solace, has a one-night stand with Hodgins.
Tropes
- Class Princess: Alyssa Howland is the valedictorian, student body president, and a volleyball player, but got pregnant while seeking Sex for Solace with the fairly geeky Clinton after feeling that her parents were pressuring her into a life she didn't want. Granted, this did inspire a lot of her friends to get pregnant to follow her example, but Alyssa insists she didn't ask them to do that and is working on a plan to give all of them some support and stability in the future.
- Really Gets Around: Several of the pregnant girls were impregnated by Clinton. Booth points out that this means that, were they so inclined, any one of them could put him under child support for the decades.
- Ripped from the Headlines: The episode was written around the same time the Massachusetts girls were news.
- Take That!: "Of course, you aren't a medical doctor, either." Bones had been asking for it. Nullified when it turns out the chiropractor's the killer, but still very sweet.
- Undercover as Lovers: Angela and Sweets go undercover as a couple to nab possible murder weapons.
- Unexpected Virgin: The pregnant victim's handsome and athletic ex-boyfriend turns out to be saving himself for marriage.
