Recap / Bones S 9 E 2 The Cheat In The Retreat

Go To

The death of a management consultant at a couple's retreat see the revival of Toni and Roxie (Booth and Brennan's undercover personas from season 2's "The Woman in the Sand"). Meanwhile, Cam's identity is stolen and Sweet's takes a leave of absence.

Tropes

  • Bigot with a Badge: Cam and Arastoo get pulled over early in the episode by a cop who spotted a Muslim driving a car.
  • Camp Gay: Zigzagged with Straight Gay at the couples' retreat, where a gay couple are both rather effeminate but also happily debate what the greatest boxing match of all time was with Booth and an older man.
  • Happily Married: The adorable older couple at the couples' retreat who turn out to be serial house robbers and that week's murderers. They're not sorry because the victim tried to hit the wife while they were stealing his car, so she KO'd him with her blackjack and he crushed him between the car and a tree. They also think (or appear to think) they won't be separated in prison due to their age; Booth doesn't have the heart to tell them otherwise. Booth and Bones like them so much they say they would KO and crush to death anyone who'd harm the other. Aww!
  • Joisey: Bones pretends to be a Jersey girl when she and Booth go undercover at a couples' retreat.
  • Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping: Brennan's accent slips back into her regular accent often enough that the others would have called her on it if they hadn't guessed she was putting it on anyway.
