Two corpses are found in the same grave, one of a terminal cancer patient and the other of her doula, a person hired to help her process her diagnosis and the end of her life. The case requires Brennan and Booth to discuss their own differing after-death arrangements. Meanwhile, Daisy returns to work after breaking up with Sweets.
Tropes
- Better to Die than Be Killed: The murderer's wife begged him to let her commit suicide rather than die of terminal cancer.
- Double-Meaning Title: The "twist in the plot" does not merely refer to the Plot Twist, but to the fact that a dumped body was found on a grave plot.
- Innocently Insensitive: Rachel saw nothing wrong with having an affair with a married man whose wife was dying of cancer, and that's on her — but her strict three-month schedule for the affair had her leave him two days before his wife died, adding to his feelings of abandonment.
- Schedule Fanatic: Ironically, Rachel insisted on only having romantic and sexual relationships for three months at a time, in order to preserve her freedom.
