Tropes

  • Left the Background Music On: Bones and Booth are talking about the possibility of alien visitation, when the X-Files theme starts up in the background. Turns out it's the ringtone of an abandoned cellphone.
  • Let Us Never Speak of This Again: The Victim of the Week appears to "sit up" in the MRI due to metallic objects in the remains. Brennan screams, Booth draws his gun and has it yanked out of his hands by the missile effect.
    Booth: You know, I won't say anything about the scream, if you don't say anything about the gun.
    Brennan: Those terms are satisfactory.
    Booth: Right.
  • The Napoleon: The local sheriff gets in a pissing contest with Booth. He's maybe 5'4".
  • Victoria's Secret Compartment: The weird blogger stole some photos from the victim and hid them in her bra.
    Sheriff: I gotta get better at friskin'.
