Brennan examines more of the bones that Clark found and they discover that Levi’s fingers had been broken before he was killed. Since it happened before his audition for the conservatory Brennan wonders if Karen did it, since she was up for the same spot as Levi.
Booth sees Perry in the lab and goes over to greet him. Uh-oh. I sense the “big brother/father” warning coming. Booth shows Perry his gun and says he’s an FBI agent and a trained sniper. Perry looks freaked. Michelle and Cam come by and B&B head out to talk to Karen. Love the Booth intimidation tactics.
Karen reveals that she has a lot of ties to the conservatory and that her admission wouldn’t be based on an audition like Levi’s, so she had no reason to kill him. B&B say that someone crushed Levi’s hand and Karen says that he was gone the last time she went home - his stuff was there but his money was gone.
Cam reveals that the evidence says that Levi broke his own hand. Booth thinks that Levi decided to return home and decided to remove the temptation. Booth wonders if the murder was because of money.
Booth does a voiceover that a petty thief killed Levi. Senseless. B&B return to give the news to Levi’s parents. They said Levi planned to return home and give them a portable DVD player with Levi performing. The parents admire Levi’s gift.
It wasn’t a bad episode, but I like ones with character development a lot more. I don’t want to see this show turn into one of those cop shows with a new story of the week. Let’s get more focus on the lives and relationships of the characters. And put Boreanaz in more t-shirts!
