* BerserkButton: Brennan is (rightly) outraged to have her bones stolen, but she goes ''off'' on Goodman--who, it should be noted, is technically her boss--chewing him out for the Jeffersonian's lack of security and throwing it in his face that she had the opportunity to work at Stanford and turned it down for this position.

* IWasBeatenByAGirl: To prove that Branson Rose's Special Forces history is BS, and therefore rule him out as a suspect, Brennan slaps him--twice. Both times he doesn't resist, which is all the evidence they need. His lawyer is outraged and demands Brennan be arrest for assault, only to have Rose quickly usher him out of the room and scold him for potentially splashing it all over the news he's suing a woman for slapping him.

* BluntMetaphorsTrauma: Booth, [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by Brennan:
-->'''Booth''': At this point, it appears as if the stolen 300-year-old bones are being used to, you know, salt the shaft.
-->'''Brennan''':: "Salt the shaft"?
-->'''Booth:''' Yeah. You know, an investor spends a million bucks. He gets antsy when nothin' happens, and then--''voila!'' You know, pirate bones appear and, uh, the golden goose keeps, you know ... ''[crudely demonstrates]'' ... laying those eggs.
-->'''Brennan:''' ''(confused stare)'' Okay, that is a ... convoluted metaphor, Booth.
-->'''Goodman''': It's a hoax, Doctor Brennan. Like Piltdown man.
-->'''Brennan:''' Oh, got it. ''(to Booth)'' Why can't you be clear like that?

* ArtisticLicenseHistory: Assateague Island has no particular association with Blackbeard or pirates in general. A few may have stop there from time to time but that's about it.
