We haven’t posted them yet, but in an upcoming episode of Bones there are promo photos of the gang at a fancy party. Now, Booth isn’t in the photo, but the other guys are wearing tuxes. As much as I beg for the costumer to put Boreanaz in more short-sleeved t-shirts, let me just say that Booth in a tux will be yum. You’ll see what I mean.
We open at a crime scene (big surprise). Brennan is going through some bones on a train track and things that they’ve been there for a few months. Brennan concludes that the victim is a teenage male.
Cam is walking with Michelle, doing mom-like things like giving a curfew and monitoring her dates. Turns out Michelle has a new boyfriend, Perry, who seems like a nice guy until he starts making out with Michelle and Cam sort of freaks out.
Intern Clark is back in the lab and he, Angela and Hodgins are examining the bones. The team thinks that the body is from a foreign country (because there was no fluoride in his drinking water and didn’t eat processed food). Cam sends Clark to supervise the FBI retrieving the remains on the tracks.
Brennan’s giving Booth the run-down on the victim and says that while the bones appear to be from a foreign country, they’re actually from the US. Dun dun dun!
Cam’s reading a book about teenage sex when Brennan comes in to reveal that the victim was Amish.
While driving to Amish country, Booth tells Brennan that the victim (Levi Yoder) disappeared two months ago and his parents filed a missing persons report. Brennan suggests that Levi was on his rumspringa when he vanished (a time when Amish youth are encouraged to explore the outside world - it’s a real thing, look it up).
Booth is delivering the bad news to Levi’s parents, who said they warned their son of the wicked ways of the English world. Apparently the boy headed to Washington with a friend, Josef Beachy.
Back at the lab, Angela is showing Cam information about the tracks. Hodgins comes in to reveal that Levi must have died shortly after the last time he talked to his parents and that his body was dragged under a coal train car.
Booth and Brennan are looking through Levi’s depressingly bare room and they find a box with a rock collection. Booth hands Mrs. Yoder a photo of her son (because the Amish don’t use cameras, it’s likely the only photo they have of Levi) and I tear up a bit.
