Go To

An outhouse explosion reveals the charred, decomposed remains of a popular reality Tv host with a long list of enemies.


Tropes

  • All Men Are Perverts: Averted by Mark, Brennan's fuck buddy. When he learns that Brennan is only using him for sex, he's upset.
  • Comically Missing the Point: Pointed out in-show when Booth and Bones were discussing her sexual relationship with a deep-sea welder.
    Bones: He can hold his breath for 3 minutes down there!
    (beat)
    Booth: ... underwater?
  • Open Relationship Failure: Bones dates two men at the same time, arguing that one provides her with intellectual stimulation and the other with physical. She neglected to actually inform either paramour that she would be pursuing this arrangement, and therefore both men promptly dump her when they find out about each other, leaving Bones to ruefully "consider the argument for monogamy."
  • Stalker without a Crush: Noel Liftin, a stalker who was previously on the show as a Stalker with a Crush; Booth pays him $50 to "stalk" one of their suspects and get more information. He proves to be frighteningly good at it.
  • Shipper on Deck: Sweets practically has googly eyes looking at Booth and Bones talking about how "there's someone out ther you're meant to spend the rest of your life with".
