While identifying human remains found on board a sunken 150-year-old slave ship, the team finds far more recent remains that spark a murder investigation. Meanwhile, Sweets grapples with his relationship with Daisy and Cam discovers a personal connection to the ship.
Tropes
- Identity Impersonator: The Victim of the Week stole the identity of another man, which complicates the case.
- Interrupted Intimacy: Booth and Brennan accidentally walk in on Sweets and Daisy having sex in Sweets' office. The couple promptly has a Naked Freak-Out and resort to Hand-or-Object Underwear, while a surprisingly nonchalant Booth still tries to get Sweets to sign his ready-for-duty form, much to Sweets annoyance.
- Product Placement: The episode features some almost comically blatant product placement for Windows Phone 7, which fills up the entire screen for several seconds as Brennan is using it.
- Sex with the Ex: Sweets and Daisy can't keep their hands off each other even though they're still broken up.
- Shout-Out: When complaining about aging, Booth says he went to sleep as Han Solo and woke up as Obi-Wan Kenobi.
