A country singer (Charlie Worsham) who never achieved great success in the U.S. is found to have scores of overseas fans after his remains are found in a garden. Meanwhile, a hockey accident leads to dire health revelations for Wendell.
Tropes
- Character Development: It's nice to see Brennan teasing Booth by chasing him around with human remains in the Cold Open.
- Filipinos Love Colin Haynes: In-Universe, the episode "Big In the Philippines" is about a country singer who is astoundingly popular in the Philippines despite being virtually unknown in the US (his fans amount to twenty or less here, whereas he's a radio superstar there with legions of fans).
- Foreshadowing: Booth shows Brennan a video of Wendell getting his arm broken during a cross check. Brennan comments, "That's not right, it's a compound fracture."
