Recap / Bones S 8 E 22 The Party In The Pants

Go To

A stockbroker/part-time stripper is found at a construction site, leading to Booth to reveal his rather blunt opinions on "exotic dancers". Meanwhile, Booth's mother reappears after over 2 decades to invite her son to her wedding.

Tropes

  • Exact Words: Booth tells the stockbroker who supervised the victim's fraud that he doesn't care about his financial crimes to get him to talk — and he doesn't, but the two cops from the financial department in the room behind the mirror do.
  • Literal-Minded: Bray and Brennan discover an injury the victim suffered as a child. Bray jokes that it can't be from stripping then. Brennan replies at least not professional stripping.
  • Rage Breaking Point: Booth is happy to see his mother again, even happy to learn she's getting married again... until she reveals that she's been a mother to that man's children for years when she couldn't be that for Seely and Jared.
  • You Can Leave Your Hat On: The victim of the week was a stripper and Angela tells Hodgins she’d put money in his pants and he launches into a strip tease or at least as close to one as can be done at work. One of his thrown clothing items nearly hits an incoming Cam, who just turns and leaves and doesn’t want to deal with it.
