The Killer in the Concrete (2-18)
Booth and Brennan investigate the case of a partial skeleton found in cement. Booth thinks a member of a crime family - Hugh Kennedy - is to blame, but when he hears word that Hugh was burnt to death in a car things get more complicated. Booth finds out that Hugh is actually alive, but then gets kidnapped by him. Brennan must now find Booth before he is hurt, but this is harder to do than she thinks, and she ends up going to great lengths to get Booth back safely.
Cam: (to Booth) Was she pretty?
Brennan: Icepick is a male.
Cam: I mean the bounty hunter who gave Booth the slip.
Booth: You know, she didn't get away because she was pretty.
Brennan: (smiling and teasing) She was a she?
Booth: No, she was a - Oh, god! (grabs his jaw in pain)
Cam: What's wrong with your mouth?
Brennan: I'm guessing the anterior (holds out her hand to touch his jaw but Booth slaps her hand away) molar on the left side is infected. The leg was surgically amputated.
Cam: Go to a dentist.
Brennan: He's afraid of the dentist. (edit) Veleska Miller: A guy like you must be going crazy in the FBI.
Booth: What kind of guy is that exactly?
Veleska Miller: I'm a bounty hunter, sport, I read people fast or I die. You are not standard government issue. (edit) Booth: As a friend of mine likes to say, don't jump to conclusions until all the evidence is in.
Brennan: If the facts are in then it's not jumping to conclusions, so I never said that.
Booth: I never said that the friend is you. (edit) Zack: (to Cam) I'm with you. I'm with you not ahead of you. (edit) Bones: Why didn't you just, just tell them about Kennedy?
Booth: You know, I needed to give you time to find me. I've been tortured worse. (edit)
It could also be a reference to the old wounds Bones identified in series one "two bodies in the lab". While a sniper he was tortures and had his feet broken with pipes. (edit) Booth: I had to give you time to find me.
This is an allusion to Booth having the same faith in Bones that she had in him in the episode "Aliens in a Spaceship". During that episode, when Bones and Hodgins were trapped, she knew that Booth would find them.

Goof: At the end in the diner, Booth puts the dolphin down on the table before they sing and takes a drink from his cup. When the camera pans out, after they sing, he has the dolphin back in his hand and puts it down again, showing a goof in continuity. (edit) It is revealed that one of the cars that Hodgins drives is a fast Italian car. (edit) The end conversation with Booth and Bones in the diner is much like the conversation in the church at the end of "Aliens in a Spaceship". However, the roles have been reversed. Instead of Booth saving Bones as in that episode, Bones found and saved Booth. This marks a balance in their partnership. (edit)
When Booth was tortured, we could see that he had a wound on his forehead but towards the end of the episode when they were singing the wound was gone. (edit) When Booth said "I've been tortured worse," it could be an allusion to all the torturing that he went through in both Buffy and Angel.It could also be a reference to the old wounds Bones identified in series one "two bodies in the lab". While a sniper he was tortures and had his feet broken with pipes. (edit) Booth: I had to give you time to find me.

The Priest in the Churchyard (2-17)
A water main bursts in the middle of a cemetery, leaving lots of coffins to litter the grounds. Brennan is called in to identify the remains so they can be reburied. When she finds the remains that have only been there for five years after being told no one was buried their in fifty years.
Booth decides to bring Brennan to see his shrink so that they can work on getting their relationship back on track.
Things get intense between Hodgins and Angela, when Hodgins makes a bold move.
Gordon: (faking surprise) I have no idea to what you refer.
Angela: Brennan didn't run off with Sully because she cannot live a life without focus. She stayed because of Booth.
Gordon: Ah, now you're projecting Miss Montenegro. Agent Booth and Dr. Brennan are not you and Dr. Hodgings. I stand by my diagnosis.
Angela: You stand by the FBI. Your first priority is to get agents back into the field. Solving murders.
Gordon: (amused and guilty) Your romanticism is endearing, but as the bard says, "Lovers and madmen have such seething brains, such shaping fantasies, that apprehend more than cool reason ever comprehends".
Angela: He also says, "Journeys end in lovers' meeting, Every wise man's son doth know." (edit) Angela: So, things are all right?
Brennan: According to the psychiatrist we were both concerned that Booth was the real reason that I didn't run off with Sully.
Angela: (incredulously) It wasn't?
Brennan: No. It's because I'm currently unable to live a life without tangible focus, so, you know, sailing around paradise with a man I adore.
Angela: (even more incredulously) Well, you believe that? (edit) Gordon: You're both afraid that the reason Dr. Brennan didn't sail off into the sunset with her boyfriend Sully might have been because of her ties to Agent Booth.
(Booth and Brennan look at each other guiltily proving Gordon is right)
Gordon: You are both quite wrong. (Both Booth and Brennan look very surprised)
Brennan: Why didn't I go with Sully?
Booth: How's he supposed to know?
Brennan: Sully is perfect. We communicated well, the sex was incredible. He invited me to sail around the South Seas in a beautiul yacht for a year. I mean, why would anyone turn that down?
Gordon: In my opinion, you are unable to lead a purposeless life at this stage of your psycho-social development, which by the way is an issue you should address, because a certain amount of purposelessness is necessary to lead a full life.
Brennan: I hate psychology.
Booth: You don't like it because he's saying that all this tension between me and you is your fault.
Gordon: On the contrary. If anything, yours is more pronounced given that your behaviour has been affected by what turns out to be a quite irrational fear of being responsible for somebody else's destiny.
Brennan: That makes sense.
Booth: Oh, now you like psychology.
Brennan: I think you'll both be able to work together just fine. (edit) Brennan: I have no intuition.
Booth: None. Zilch.
Brennan: You have no analytical skills. You're all about emotion and feeling. They say that means you have a well developed feminine side.
Booth: Who says that?
Brennan: Psychologists. What? You're the one who believes in them.
Booth: Let's just stick to the case. (edit) Brennan: (In the interrogation room) Booth kicked me out of here.
Gordon: For you to say "kicked out" means that you have acquiesceded the idea that this is his domain.
Brennan: Domain. Yes, he's good at questioning people, he can tell when they're lying.
Gordon: Can you?
Brennan: I've learned a lot from him about people.
Gordon: But.
Brennan: It's not that Booth has a sixth sense. There is demonstrably no sixth sense to have. Obviously he reads minutiae of body language, pupil dilation.
Gordon: Yes, you don't sound very satisfied with your own argument there.
Brennan: Booth likes to say that "There are more things in heaven and earth, Bones, than are dreamt of in your science". That's a bastardization of a writer named Shakespeare from a play called Hamlet.
Gordon: Yes, yes, I was, I was aware of that. So, if you're so uncomfortable here why come?
Brennan: Because something goes on in here. He does something.
Gordon: And you wanna find out what it is. Dissect it so that you can do it yourself.
Brennan: Yes.
Gordon: So that you can do it without Booth. So that you won't need him anymore.
Brennan: No!
Gordon: No?
Brennan: No. I just want to observe.
Gordon: Surely if you want to observe you can do that on the other side of the mirror there insetad of insisting on being in this room, with him, out of your element.
Brennan: Observation isn't just seeing Dr. Wyatt, it's experiencing. Ideally, I'd prefer being inside Booth's head. Seeing and feeling things the way he does. Then maybe I'd understand.
Gordon: Be one with him.
Brennan: In a scientific sense.
(Gordon nods incredulously) (edit) [b]Angela[/b]: All right, listen up, Monty Python.
[b]Monty Python[/b] is the name of a British comedy troupe that was popular in the late 1960s and 1970s for its irreverent, fast-paced television series. One of the most distinctive actors is John Cleese, who has a particular English accent, which is probably what Angela is reffering to. (edit) Angela: He also says, "Journeys end in lovers meeting, every wise man's son doth know."
This is from William Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, or, What You Will, Act II, Scene III. (edit) Gordon: "Lovers and madmen have such seething brains... "
This is a line from A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare, Act V, Scene I.

The Boneless Bride in the River (2-16)
The team investigates the death of an Asian woman without any bones left in her body. Sully proposes something to Brennan that she does not expect.
Booth: Sully is a nice guy.
Brennan: That sounded condescending.
Booth: I'm just trying to be nice, ok? I'm complimenting the fact that you got a good one this time.
Brennan: Thereby implying I'm incapable of making my own judgments.
Booth: The physicist who couldn't tie his shoes. Oh, the former professor who was jealous of your success. Should I stop?
Brennan: Yes.
Booth: Oh, the guy that you found on the Internet and then turned out to be some kind of recruiter for a cult. Oh, and this is my favorite: a guy who cut off his own brother's head because he thought he was possessed by a witch.
Brennan: You made your point.
Booth: I'm just saying, a guy who wants to take you away from all of this on a sailboat? That's a step up.
Brennan: Condescending. (edit) Brennan: You had a vacation and never left town.
Booth: It wasn't a vacation, it was a suspension.
Brennan: Plus compulsory therapy.
Booth: Hey, dude, don't knock therapy, ok? Dr. Wyatt has helped me realize that there are certain (looks pointedly in her direction) pressures that build up on the job and I need creative ways -
Brennan: We do everything together.
Booth: Of dealing with them.
Brennan: What, what exactly do you have to contend with on the job that I don't?
Booth: You Bones, you don't have to contend with you. (edit) Angela: You want me to take this face and build a skull for it???
Cam: Can you do it?
Angela: No.
Zack: You're always taking skulls and putting on faces - can't you simply reverse the process?
Angela: No.
Cam: Why not?
Angela: Because I am a human being! (edit) Brennan: Rationally...rationally thinking I want to go and I know, I should go but...I can't.
Sully: What you are doing, it's important. But it's not important enough to be your whole life. (edit) Bones: Sully bought that boat.
Booth: (Sarcastically) Yeah, hah, next thing you know he'll be shipwrecked on some island talking to a volleyball.
Bones: He's leaving for the Caribbean.
Booth: Really? (Sympathetic) Look, I'm-I'm sorry Bones, I know the two of you were kinda hittin' it off.
Bones: He wants me to go with him.
Booth: (Shocked and uncomfortable) Oh...um..yeah.
Bones: He says I should take a year off, a sabbatical, he says it would be fun.
Booth: (Rushes) Yeah, it would be.
Bones: (Confused) But you just said he'd be shipwrecked with a volleyball.
Booth: Well, he's got you he doesn't need the volleyball.
Bones: You think I should go?
Booth: (Takes a long pause and then looks at her) Yeah, yeah, you know, what's one year out of your life? You know, a person's gotta live wide, this is kinda narrow. (edit)
This is an allusion to the Cartoon Character Wile E. Coyote, a coyote that tried various ways to kill the Roadrunner, with anvils, steamrollers, boulders and other various outrageous stunts, usually with a disastrous outcome. (edit) Angela: Oh, alright, leaving The Third Circle of Hell.
In the Third Circle of Hell, in Dante's Inferno, the Gluttonous must lie in mud and endure a rain of filth and excrement, much like where the victim was found. (edit) After the theme song when Brennan walks up to Sully on the boat, she responds to his greeting of "Hey Dr. Brennan" with "Agent Sullivan I presume".
This could be an allusion to the famous greeting "Dr. Livingstone I presume?". (edit) Brennan: I brought a bunch of chimpanzee bones and pulled the old a switch-a-ma-call-it.
This is an allusion to two terms. The first is switcheroo which is slang for a slight of hand switching of objects, and the second what-cha-ma-call-it is a slang term used when a person doesn't know what to call something. She blends the two terms also alluding to her misuse of slang and pop culture references from the beginning of the series that has recently been decreased. (edit) Booth: The physicist that couldn't tie his shoes. Oh, the former professor that was jealous of your success, should I stop?
Bones: Yes.
Booth: Oh, the, the guy that you found on the internet and him being some kind of recruiter for a cult. Oh and this is my favorite, the guy who cut off his own brother's head because he thought he was possessed by a witch.
This is an allusion to, Temperance's former boyfriends, in order of allusion:

The fact that Bones' boyfriend David never returned after the second season started is explained in this episode. When Booth says "The guy you met on the internet who turned out to be a recruiter for a cult." This is obviously David because Booth was going in order. (edit) When Sully sails away, we see that he has named his boat Temperance, after Dr. Brennan. (edit) Goof: Angela tells Dr. Brennan that she has worked every day since they have met, and that Dr. Brennan has never gone on vacation. This is untrue, because instead of going to Darfur, recently she went on vacation to North Carolina to reconnect with her brother. Dr. Brennan talks about it with Booth, on the car ride to the train wreck accident in the episode "The Titan on the Tracks". (edit) This is the first time that Temperance refers to herself as "Bones", previously showing no affection for the name, she now accepts her nickname from her partner Seeley Booth.

Quotes

Brennan: (smiles) The arrest.
Booth: Oh, yeah, there's that. (edit) (Brennan has just stormed out of Booth's office upset over the copycat murders)
Booth: She wasn't this emotional before you came in the picture.
Sully: Ah, I thought you weren't interested.
Booth: Ha! Right, look, I don't need that, ok? Believe me, ok? I'm gonna go and talk to Sadie Keller's husband and why don't you (pejoratively) go back to your office there and sort through the fan mail, right? Bye. (edit) (Booth and Brennan at the marina)
Booth: So, is it just me, or is this, you know, kinda weird?
Brennan: What?
Booth: In your new book, they found a body at the marina, right?
Brennan: You read my book?
Booth: Of course. A guy at the dock saw something floating in the water, thought it was a dead fish, ended up being a decomposed hand. A dive crew just located the rest of the body.
Brennan: I didn't think you would have the time to read my book.
Booth: You have time to write it, I have time to read it. Besides, you can't avoid the damn thing, your book's everywhere. (edit) Sully: (To Booth and Brennan) Congratulations! You guys make a great team.

Kathy Reichs is the real forensic anthropologist whose life the show is based on. In essence, she has become a character in a book written by a character in a story created by her. (edit)
"Strangers On a Train"The plot of this episode is similar to that of "Strangers On a Train". In the movie, two strangers meet on a train and make a deal to kill one guy's wife and the other's father. In this episode, three people make a deal to kill each other's targets. The plot of "Strangers On a Train" has also been used in many other TV series and movies including an episode of CSI ("A Night at the Movies" 3x19). (edit)

The Man in the Mansion (2-14)
Booth and Brennan investigate the death of Terence Bancroft, one of the Jeffersonian's major donors, found dead at home. Hodgins compromises the case and the reputation of the lab when he removes some evidence that would link him to the Bancroft family and to the case itself. Due to this, Brennan must make an important decision about her team.
Booth, although cleared by Dr. Wyatt (guest star Stephen Fry) to use his gun, must continue to meet with the psychiatrist.
Booth: Hey Doc, what we're doing here, would that be considered therapy?
Dr. Wyatt: Oh, absolutely. Especially since I'm about to inquire whether you have experienced any outbursts of temper since I requested you alter your dress code.
Booth: Yeah, one of the squints, Hodgins, decided the rules, they didn't apply to him, he got entitled jeopardized my murder case.

Dr. Wyatt: Extraordinary. Your squint, tried to help a friend, so they both endeavoured to do good.
Booth: With no clue the way things are.
Dr. Wyatt: The way things are as defined by a working class lad from Pittsburgh.
Booth: That's right, Pittsburgh. Where I'm from, alright? From the streets where you get a sense of how the world really is. (edit) Dr. Wyatt: In point of fact it is therapy.
Booth: What? No! No, it's not. It's an evaluation.
Dr. Wyatt: I've already certified you as fit to carry a gun and go back to work.
Booth: Ok, then why are we meeting?
Dr. Wyatt: Well, because you discharged your weapon at an ice cream truck. My provisional certification of your mental health only holds as long as you continue to meet with me.
Booth: Great. For how long?
Dr. Wyatt: Till I'm satisfied that you won't start firing at confectioneries again. What's your objection to therapy?
Booth: You know what, Doc? I am not the kinda guy who has anything to hide.
Dr. Wyatt: Do you know? I often find that when people declare what they are not, it almost invariably turns out that's exactly what they are.
Booth: Great, then, you know what? No more declarations from me. (edit) Booth: You now what? I did the belt buckle, I did the tie, I did the socks. What else do you want from me?
(Dr. Wyatt gives Booth a meaningul look)
Dr. Wyatt: What would you say if I told you that my name actually is Gordon Gordon Wyatt, that my first and middle names are the same? (edit) Brennan: Why you call your psychiatrist "Gordon Gordon"?
Booth: That's how he introduces himself, y'know, "Hi, I'm Gordon, Gordon Wyatt".
Brennan: Like "James, James Bond"
Booth: "Bond. James Bond". Not James... Ja... Jam... whatever. (edit) Caroline: Turns out Hodgins here had motive to kill the man himself!
Hodgins: Eight years ago, maybe. But not now. I've got Angela. (edit)
Booth - "Dropping serial killers off of balconies" - Howard Epps was killed when he jumped from Brennan's balcony. Booth initial caught him but his grip slipped and Epps fell to his death. Episode 12 - The Man in the Cell.
Angela - "Blabbing suspect's names to vengeful fathers" - The father of a young, female college student who was found dead visited Angela, asking about the case. Angela mentioned the name of a male suspect. The father later killed the man, who turned out to be innocent. Episode 13 - The Girl in the Gator
Cam - "Cuttin' into heads before their times gettin' poisoned" - Cam was examining the severed head of a Howard Epps ex-wife. She neglected standard procedures and cut into the head prior to getting a full set of x-rays, under pressure from Booth to speed up the examination. Inside the head was a fragile vessel filled with poison. The vessel broke, releasing the poison and nearly killing Cam. Episode 12 - The Man in the Cell.
Zack - "Gettin' blown up because you go grabbin' things you shouldn't have" - Zack and Booth discovered a body with a bag of plaster dust on its abdomen - another victim of Howard Epps, and a clue in his game. Zack grabbed the bag, just as Booth realized the body was booby trapped. Booth pulled Zach away as the bomb exploded, leaving them with only minor injuries. Episode 12 - The Man in the Cell
Hodgins - "Taking photographs from frames" - Hodgins removed a picture of him and the victim on a trip from a frame that was brought to the lab as evidence. Hodgins wanted to be able to be a part of the murder investigation and knew he would not be able to if his connection to the victim and the victim's wife (Hodgin's former fiance) was discovered. Episode 14 - The Man in the Mansion.
Booth - "Getting a perfectly good car smashed to bits for NO good reason" - Presumably this refers to Booth shooting a clown face on top of an ice cream truck. This event led to him being suspended from duty until he was evaluated by a psychiatrist. Agent Sully was assigned to be Bones' partner during this time. Episode 13 - The Girl in the Gator.
"Getting a perfectly good car smashed to bits for NO good reason" -
This more likely refers to the end of Episode 11 "Judas on a Pole" in which Bones' brother Russ, on the run with her father, smashes the car Booth borrowed from Caroline. (edit) Booth: Oh hey Doc, Doc. Why is it that the belt buckle is provocative?
Dr. Wyatt: Oh, it's a modern day codpiece. Forces the eye to the groin.
A CODPIECE (or Braguette) was originally an inverted triangular section of cloth sewn into the hose around a man's groin. By the 16th century, the codpiece was padded and boned and became so large that it was often used to carry small weapons, jewels or food (hence the reference to a man's genitalia as the "family jewels").
Booth, although cleared by Dr. Wyatt (guest star Stephen Fry) to use his gun, must continue to meet with the psychiatrist.

Booth: Yeah, one of the squints, Hodgins, decided the rules, they didn't apply to him, he got entitled jeopardized my murder case.
Dr. Wyatt: Ah, and you confronted him physically?
Booth: Physical confrontation, that's my main skill.
Dr. Wyatt: Entitled you said. Is he a wealthy man?

Then it cuts to a shot of Angela and when it comes back to Sully and Brennan the blond girl is still walking off screen, and not completely gone like she was at the end of the last shot. (edit) Goof: The writing on the back of the photo doesn't match between shots. When Hodgins opens the back of the frame, the description on the photo states the names in one line, plus an extra second sentence before the date. On the close-up shot the names are over two lines and only the date. (edit)

The Girl in the Gator (2-13)
Brennan has to work with another agent, Agent Sullivan, while Booth needs to see a therapist.
They investigate the death of a college freshman, who took part in a 'Girls Gone Wild' type of video and whose body is found in an alligator.
Sullivan asks Brennan out.
Booth: (depressed) Yeah, so?
Dr. Wyatt: So why in a fit of pique did you endanger innocent people in a public thoroughfare by discharging your firearm?
Booth: I'm a good shot. I didn't put anybody in danger.
Dr. Wyatt: How many people have you killed?
Booth: I lost count.
Dr. Wyatt: Oh, you could remember 180 bricks but not how many lives you've taken?
Booth: Epps makes fifty.
Dr. Wyatt: Fifty what?
Booth: (weighed down) Fifty kills.
Dr. Wyatt: But Agent Booth, you didn't kill Epps! You tried to save him, remember? Perhaps I better put it as a question: did Howard Epps slip from your grasp or did you release him? (Booth ponders the moment Epps fell in a flashback, he can't answer) Oh, come now man, this is a simple enough question. Was he indeed your fiftieth kill or did you just happen to be there when he died?
Booth: (very vulnerable) I - I don't know.
Dr. Wyatt: A man like you? In control of every situation and you don't know?
Booth: I don't know...I had him and then I lost him and something happened in between. (almost in a whisper) I don't know.
Dr. Wyatt: I believe you. Because for a man like you to admit you don't know, to relinquish control, that could indeed argue a disruption in your self-you that was large enough to motivate you to shoot a clown. (edit) Dr. Wyatt: You tend to do things well, don't you? Make coffee, build BBQ machines.
Booth: It's not really a machine.
Dr. Wyatt: Solve crimes, raise a son, love women, leave women. Whatever you aim at you hit.
Booth: Is that bad?
Dr. Wyatt: By no means, of course not. Except...
Booth: Oh, ok, here we go. Let me have it, Doc.
Dr. Wyatt: Except it is indicative of a need to control your environment.
Booth: Again I ask, is that bad?
Dr. Wyatt: No, of course not, no. Except...
Booth: Except?
Dr. Wyatt: Except when you shoot a clown.
Booth: You know, you make it sound like he was walking around making balloon animals.
Dr. Wyatt: For the most part your rebellions are small.
Booth: Rebellions?
Dr. Wyatt: The colorful socks, the funky belt buckle. They're a mechanism, quiet rebellions. A Way of asserting your personal control over a homogenizing organisation like the FBI. But shooting a clown is not a quiet rebellion. Shooting a clown is quite literally deafening. (edit) (Booth and Brennan talking on the phone. Brennan has another call coming in)
Brennan: That's Sully calling right now. (hesitant) We're, uhm, we're doing, you know, what we did.
Booth: (a little worry in his voice) You know, I'll be back soon.
Brennan: Ok. I'll talk to you later.
(Booth hangs up and remains thoughtful and slightly worried) (edit) (Nighttime. Booth is knocking at Dr. Wyatt's door)
Booth: Hi.
Dr. Wyatt: Did we have a schedule?
Booth: Listen, I really need to get back to work, yo why don't you give me one of those clown restraining orders and just sign my paper?
Dr. Wyatt: Have you had an insight then as to why you shot at that clown?
Booth: (Booth's cell rings) Yeah. You know what? I've had some insight. It's right here. (pointing at the display of his phone) That's my Bones calling, my partner. (edit) Booth: Dr. Wyatt.
Dr. Wyatt: Ah, Agent Booth is it? Yes, Gordon. Gordon Wyatt. (extends his hand to Booth but instead of his hand Booth pulls out a piece of paper from his back pocket)
Booth: Great. You the shrink?
Dr. Wyatt: Shrink, yes, meaning psychiatrist.
Booth: That's great, Doc. How's about you just sign my piece of paper here and I'll get back to work, right?
Dr. Wyatt: Certainly. (Booth hands him a pen) No, no, I have a pen. Do you mind if I ask what exactly it was that you did?
Booth: Yeah, I shot a truck.
Dr. Wyatt: Ah, full of terrorists no doubt or plutonium or fleeing felons, was it?
Booth: Nah, it was an ice cream truck.
Dr. Wyatt: You have a good reason for firing on it?
Booth: Yeah, the music, it was bothering me.
Dr. Wyatt: Ah.
Booth: Yeah, there was a speaker in the clown's mouth? Yeah, I just pulled out my gun, you know, bum-bum-bum. It was gone.
Dr. Wyatt: (folding the paper without signing it) So, the FBI sent you to me because you shot a clown?
Booth: Not a real clown.
Dr. Wyatt: (handing Booth the paper back) I suggest you cogitate on the underlying reasons why you shot that clown while i make us some tea. (goes into the house)
Booth: Cogitate? Tea? (edit)
They investigate the death of a college freshman, who took part in a 'Girls Gone Wild' type of video and whose body is found in an alligator.
Sullivan asks Brennan out.
