The liquefied remains of a wedding planner are found on Valentine's Day, which puts a crimp in everyone's plans as they rush to solve the murder so that Cam can spend it with her boyfriend. Meanwhile, Booth and Brennan bond over their jadedness of the holiday and Hodgins plans something special for Angela.
Tropes
- Break Out the Museum Piece: After Booth was put out with the idea of romance in general after the abrupt end of his relationship with Hannah, Brennan cheered him up by meeting him in the FBI rifle range with a pair of Thompson sub-machine (or "Tommy") guns, in honor of the St. Valentine's Day Massacre.
- Camp Straight: The wedding planner's assistant is very effeminate in manner and speech, but winds up being completely straight.
- Taxonomic Term Confusion: For Valentine's Day, Hodgins splices rose DNA into a slime mold, creating a sweet-smelling variety he claims will be called Angelicus montenegro. Just adding a bit of extra DNA doesn't change its genus or species, nor does it qualify as a "hybrid" as Hodgins claims. A true hybrid of two species would be called "[Species 1's name] x [Species 2's name]"; at best, Hodgins can add Angela's name to his creation's strain, not its species.
