Recap / Bones S 8 E 14 The Doll In The Derby

Go To

A female roller derby skater is found dismembered, requiring Angela to go undercover. Meanwhile, Booth does secret charity work for children with Neurofibromatosis (NF), and Wendell celebrates his 29th birthday.

Tropes

  • Action Girl: Downplayed. Angela goes undercover as a competitive rollerskater.
  • As the Good Book Says...: Bones quotes 1 Corinthians 13:4 as Booth's motivation for not telling anyone about his charitable efforts.
    Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
  • Distracted by the Sexy: Hodgins stops listing reasons for Angela not to go undercover when he sees her in her rollerskater outfit.
  • A Very Special Episode: This episode has a subplot about neurofibromatosis, letting viewers know it can strike anyone at any time.
