A man with lesions on his face leaves the Arab-American Friendship League, gets into an SUV and drives away. As he’s speeding down the street, his cell phone rings. The display says Sahar and he answers it. He speaks curtly in Arabic and hangs up the phone. In his anger, he begins to drive faster and more erratic. The cell phone rings again but he doesn’t answer it. He pulls to a stop in front of a café and the SUV explodes.
Seeley arrives on the scene and meets Temperance and Angela there. Angela is visibly shaken by the burned flesh and dead bodies but Temperance forges ahead seemingly unmoved by the destruction. The three of them begin to examine the crime scene. Zack arrives and takes pictures of the crime scene while Temperance collects the evidence in bags. Angela is too upset to help and excuses herself so Seeley takes her place somewhat reluctantly.
The team examines the remains of the driver in the lab at the Jeffersonian. Seeley arrives with Agent Gibson from Homeland Security and Temperance objects to having Gibson look over their shoulders while they conduct their analysis.
As they walk to her office, Temperance and Seeley argue about the necessity of having Homeland Security present while the team analyzes the remains.
Gibson looks at all the artifacts on display in the lab as Temperance and Seeley enter. Zack offers an update on the team’s progress. He pours flesh eating beetles from a jar into a container in which the remains are housed to prepare the bones for examination. Gibson receives a cell phone call. He turns to Temperance after he hangs up and says: “The president wants to know how long your ID is going to take.” Temperance looks at the beetles as she responds: “Why don’t you ask them?” and walks away.
Seeley and Temperance discuss the case with Farid and Sahar Masruk in the FBI Interrogation Room. Sahar gives Temperance medical records and information about her husband, Hamid, to aid in the identification of the driver. Sahar insists that her husband is not a terrorist.
Temperance arrives at the lab and Zack updates her on their findings. Gibson tries to get information from Temperance but she walks into her office without revealing anything of value regarding the driver’s identity.
Angela enters Temperance’s office and they discuss why she wasn’t able to help at the crime scene. Angela turns the conversation to the weekend and tries to convince Temperance to go to a club with her and invite Seeley to come with them but Temperance protests. Zack interrupts the conversation to tell Temperance that “the bones are clean” and she leaves Angela sitting on the couch alone.
Temperance and Zack analyze the bones. She makes a positive identification and declares that the body is Hamid Masruk. Gibson insists that she allow him to deliver her findings to the FBI, but she refuses and walks out of the lab leaving him standing there flustered.
As he puts on a shirt, Seeley walks toward his front door to answer the person who is knocking on it. Temperance is standing there with a folder clutched to her chest and comes inside. She hands the folder to Seeley and tells him that Hamid Masruk is the driver. Seeley’s girlfriend, Tessa, walks up wearing one of his shirts and he introduces Temperance and Tessa to each other. The three of them engage in idle chat and Temperance and Seeley leave for the FBI Bureau after he kisses Tessa goodbye.
Temperance and Seeley argue over Seeley being in a relationship as they exit the elevator at the bureau. Mickey Santana interrupts and Seeley informs him of the bomber’s identification. Santana explains that Hamid Masruk was murdered.
In the FBI Interrogation Room, Temperance and Seeley return Hamid’s belongings to Sahar and inform her that he has been identified as the driver of the SUV and is a murder victim. Temperance offers that she will give Sahar all the remains that she is able to collect to ensure that “he can be purified for burial.” Seeley questions Sahar about the calls made to Hamid’s cell phone from their home just before the explosion and she admits that they had an argument involving a family matter. Seeley tells her to contact them if she should think of anything else they might need to know to aid in the investigation.
As they enter Shapiro’s restaurant, Seeley is trying to convince Temperance that Sahar was having an affair. She argues that his assumptions are conjecture as Angela watches them from the table where she has been sitting. Angela joins them at the bar and agrees with Seeley. Temperance storms off to return to the lab and Angela questions Seeley about his relationship with Tessa once Temperance is gone.
When Temperance returns to the lab, Zack informs her that he’s having difficulty fitting the skull fragments together. Jack offers that the chemicals from the blast can have a degenerative effect but Temperance asserts that it wouldn’t happen that quickly. She determines that he either had a degenerative disease or was exposed to a toxin and that his brother has the same issue.
Seeley examines a cross hanging on the wall at Farid Masruk’s home. Farid enters the room with a tray and explains that he is a Christian which caused conflict within the family. Farid, Temperance, and Seeley discuss the family problems. Farid reveals that Sahar was having an affair and he gives them the name of the man she was seeing. He tells them that he and Hamid had dinner with Ali Ladjavardi in an attempt to make peace. They ask Farid about the medical condition that he and Hamid seem to share and ask if they can have access to his medical records and he consents.
At the lab, Angela offers gossip about Seeley and Tessa as Jack and Zack continue to examine the remains. Angela informs them that she is “going to go check out this girlfriend” and leaves.
Seeley interrogates Ladjavardi in the FBI Interrogation Room as Temperance watches through the two way mirror. Santana interrupts the interrogation and releases Ladjavardi much to Seeley’s chagrin. Seeley protests but Santana is adamant as he explains that Ladjavardi is a Homeland Security mole at the Arab-American Friendship League and they don’t want his cover to be blown.
In the car, Temperance and Seeley argue about him being angry over Ladjavardi’s release. Seeley wants to change the subject and they begin to argue over his relationship with Tessa instead.
Temperance enters the lab and wonders why Jack is reconstructing the bomb. He admits that he’s doing it to see if he can do a better job of it than the FBI. She examines the reconstructed skull and finds microscopic fissures in the bones which indicate that the damage was caused by a toxin rather than the blast. She asks Zack to find some bone marrow to analyze in order to support her theory.
Angela drops her purse near the table where Tessa is having lunch and strikes up a seemingly innocent conversation with her.
Angela returns to the lab and tells them what she discovered about Tessa being insecure in her relationship with Seeley. Seeley enters the lab and they all stop talking suddenly and stare at him making him feel self conscious. Temperance tells him Hamid was poisoned but they can’t determine what toxin was used. Jack suggests that they use some of the beetles to determine the toxin.
Jack finds that Hamid and Farid were both poisoned by a pure form of dioxin and reveals that it would remain in the system for years and cause several diseases.
Temperance and Angela use the Angelator to determine when the brothers were exposed to the dioxin.
Temperance and Seeley confront Ladjavardi but find that he was out of town when the brothers were poisoned.
At the lab, Jack and Zack discover that gypsum was not used to build the bomb but was present in the building where the bomb was built. They decide that if the building can be found, the bomb creator’s identity will be revealed.
Seeley and Temperance are in the car arguing when she gets a cell phone call. Zack gives her the details about the bomb insulation. They discover that the bomb was made in Farid Masruk’s neighborhood and Seeley turns the car around and they head for Farid’s home.
Seeley breaks down the door and he and Temperance enter Farid’s home to search for evidence. Temperance is relaying what she finds via cell phone to Jack and he tells her that the components would be used to produce the dioxin. Seeley finds an area with exposed insulation in a closet that supports the findings of gypsum. They find evidence that he is a terrorist and that he’s built another bomb.
In the car, Temperance is on the phone with Angela and Seeley is on the phone with federal agents trying to figure out what the target is. Angela finds that there is a peace conference at the Hamilton Cultural Center and they decide that is the most likely target for an attack. Seeley insists that agents be deployed to the Hamilton Cultural Center immediately.
Temperance and Seeley arrive at the Hamilton Cultural Center and search the lower level for Farid. They move to the second level to get an overview of the crowd and Temperance spots him. Seeley is reluctant to shoot him without seeing his face, so she calls out to him. As soon as Farid faces them, Seeley shoots him in the forehead and kills him. Gibson rushes to the body and confirms that Farid was carrying a bomb.
Over a drink at Shapiro’s, Temperance and Seeley discuss his ill feelings about having to kill Farid. Temperance reminds Seeley that he saved a lot of people by killing Farid. She asks him if he should go home so that Tessa will not worry about him. He agrees and leaves her sitting at the bar to finish her drink alone.
Temperance works on identifying the remains of civil war soldiers while Seeley has an uncomfortably silent dinner with Tessa at his apartment.
Quotes
add » (After Booth has shot the bomber he and Brennan are sitting at the bar of the Chinese place)Booth: I told them to tell the press that it was an undercover operation.
Brennan: But it would be a Rosegarden Ceremony. That's an honor, right? I thought ou FBI guys liked your medals.
Booth: No pleasure in taking someone's life. Nothing to celebrate.
Brennan: (puts her hand on his forearm) You saved so many people Booth. Don't forget that. (She smiles at him reassuringly and he smiles back)
Booth: Wanna get another drink?
Brennan: Shouldn't you be getting home? Tessa will be worried about you.
Booth: Yeah. I guess I should. (looks at her very earnestly) Thanks for your help, Bones.
Brennan: Sure. (edit) (In the Hamilton Cultural Center looking for the bomber)
Brennan: If you see him, will you shoot?
Brennan: Well, he might not have the bomb.
Brennan: You don't believe that.
Booth: I'm not taking out a target Bones, unless I'm sure.
Brennan: Is that how you make it easier? Calling him a target?
Booth: You know, you really picked an odd time to have that conversation. (edit) Brennan: This is my lab, I'm a scientist, a doctor.
Booth: So I've heard.
Brennan: Would you be able to do your job when someone's looking over your shoulder all the time?
Booth: You do, ok? I developed a tolerance. (edit) Zack: We have his detergent brand, cologne, and shampoo. He died a well-groomed man. (edit) (Booth kicks down door)
Booth: (to Bones) If anybody asks, that door was open. (edit)
DEBRIDE – to remove dead, contaminated or adherent tissue or foreign material.
DERMESTES MACULATUS – the hide beetle.
ENTOMOLOGIST – a scientist who studies insects.
PUBIC SYMPHYSIS – the joint between the pubic bones in the front of the pelvis.
CRANIAL RECONSTRUCTION – in this meaning, reassembling a shattered skull.
ETHMOID – a bone in the skull that separates the nasal cavity from the brain. As such, it is located at the roof of the nose.
SPHENOID – a bone situated at the base of the skull in front of the temporals and basilar part of the occipital. It somewhat resembles a butterfly with its wings extended. (edit) Goof: After shooting Farid and waiting to get the "all clear," Booth holsters his gun to lean on the railing with both hands. However, in the next shot of him, he is holding the gun as if he had just taken the shot, showing that the reaction shots were shuffled around. (edit) In this episode, Booth uses a security card to access the forensic area of the lab, but in the next episode he doesn't have one. This is because The Man in the S.U.V. was originally scheduled to air after A Boy in the Tree, not before. (edit) The many car rides done by Booth and Dr. Brennan have very bad continuity. The lighting that is supposed to imitate the sunlight is from the same direction in every car scene. (edit)
This is an allusion to a line from the play Hamlet by William Shakespeare. Angela is saying that maybe Dr. Brennan protesting so strongly about having feelings for Booth is an indication that she does have feelings for him, and that her protestations are a defense mechanism to hide her feelings. (edit)
