* BreakThemByTalking: Taffet manages to get under Sweets' skin by playing on his insecurities, seemingly to undermine his ability to testify effectively and help her appeal succeed. Whether this would have worked we don't know, given as she is shot dead moments later, but Sweets does spend the rest of the episode having a serious crisis of confidence.

* DidNotThinkThisThrough: Broadsky steals fellow former teammates' identities in order to buy things, including the land hés hiding on. He bought that land by stealing Booth's identity, and Booth is the one hunting him for killing Taffet, meaning he has [[LoopholeAbuse the right to enter the property without permission]].

Heather Taffet aka "The Gravedigger" (Creator/DeirdreLovejoy) faces her final appeal before being sentenced to death. While being escorted to the courthouse, she is shot and decapitated by an unknown sniper. Initially Bones' father Max (Creator/RyanONeal) is listed as a suspect due to his criminal tendencies, but when the team discovers that it was a professional hit, Booth, a former Army sniper, is forced to question an old Army colleague. Sweets deals with the aftermath of the shooting as he was very close by when she was killed and also what Taffet said to him earlier about being a "weak link". Booth eventually discovers the shooter is Jacob Broadsky (Creator/ArnoldVosloo), a professional sniper and mentor whom he once knew. The case gets personal when he discovers that Broadsky purchased land using his name.

* MidSeasonTwist: The "Gravedigger", the woman that buried Hodgins and Bones alive four seasons prior, is killed outside the courthouse before her final appeal by a sniper that is later revealed to be on par or even beyond Booth's skill, with implied history with the FBI agent as well.

* OhCrap: Broadsky, the evil sniper, the Dark Booth, killing people not on orders, but as "the hand of God". Part of his games is that he steals other snipers' identities for his work, including Booth's to buy the land he's hiding on. When Booth tracks him down and they confront each other across the gate leading onto Broadsky's land, they make it clear that Booth is constrained by the law, and entering without a warrant would make any arrest worthless.
