Bones: Mummy in the Maze

« prev episode next » episode

A Halloween pumpkin patch maze becomes a lot scarier when the mummified remains of a young girl are found in it. Booth and Brennan go to investigate, and are shocked to find that the victim has been dead for over a year. To make the situation even creepier, a second body is found at a Halloween amusement park funhouse, again mummified, but this time dead for approximately two years. Booth and Brennan get wind of a third missing girl and link her to the person who killed the other two girls. They must now race to find the killer before he or she strikes again this Halloween.

Goof: When Booth and Brennan open the door to the room with the missing girl, the floor is crawling with hundreds of snakes, but right after Booth shot the culprit, Brennan comes out of the room and there isn't a single snake in sight. edit »
In this episode, Brennan is shown to be scared of snakes. However, in the season one episode "The Man in the Morgue", she is perfectly comfortable holding a snake. edit »

False Idols (mentioned as a possible addition): Thou shalt have no other gods before me. (1st Commandment) edit »

This episode bears somewhat of a resemblance to an actual corpse found at the Old Pike Amusement Park in the 70's. During the filming of an episode of The Six Million Dollar Man, the crew discovered the body of a mummified corpse, later revealed to be the remains of an Old West outlaw whose remains had vanished from a side show. The case was featured in an episode of L.A. Mission Road. edit »
According to TVGuide, David Boreanaz wore a Superman shirt under his shirt during this episode, signifying that not only was he a nerd for Halloween, but also Clark Kent. edit »

Dr. Potoska: Now here we are lost in this stupid maze looking for the mummy.
Booth: A mummy?
Dr. Potoska: (talking over the radio) Yeah, I do not see a guillotine. (to Brennan and Booth) What would you call that?
Brennan: Oh. Um, a cowboy?
Booth: No, it's a scarecrow.
Guy on Radio: Look just keep turning to the right, aight? Let me know when you reach the dragon.
Dr. Potoska: (reaching a huge smiling witch) Ah dead end. With teeth. edit »
Brennan: I'd like to assume that the automotive particulates arrive with the blowing air.
Hodgins: Heated underground parking lots.
Zack: How is that not guessing?
Brennan: Einstein referred to such assumptions as acceptable intuitive leaps.
Zack: I acknowledge Einstein as a scientific authority. edit »
(Bones opens the door and snakes come out; she screams and jumps onto a ledge)
Booth: What are you doing? They're not poisonous.
Bones: (still scared) I know, I know!
Booth: Then why don't you come down?
Bones: It seems I'm not completely in control of my actions. edit »
Bones: My gun is too big for me.
Booth: I told you that a hundred times. Here, take mine, guard Megan. edit »
Booth: Lola beats up the girls, leaves them bleeding, who shows up to help, access to drugs?
Bones: The EMT, smart! You should wear a labcoat at all times. edit »

The name of the fun house that Bones and Booth find the second mummified corpse is called "Dungeon of 1000 Corpses," a clear parallel to the movie House of 1000 Corpses. edit »
"Ever has it been that love does not know its own depth until the pain of separation."

Although misquoted, this is a line from Lebanese born American philosophical essayist, novelist, and poet Kahlil Gibran. The correct quote goes: "Ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation. edit »
The methods the killer uses in this episode are quite similar to the ones used by the Batman villain The Scarecrow, who uses a special toxin that shows a person an image of their worst fear until they go into an extreme state of panic. edit »
(Bones spins in circles with her arms out)
Booth: What the hell are you doing?
Bones: Nothing.

This is a visual allusion to the Wonder Woman TV show of the 70's, where Wonder Woman spins around to transform from her secret identity of Diana Prince to Wonder Woman, and vice-versa. edit »
Hodgins: What are you, Canadian?

This is an allusion to the stereotype that Canadians, as a people, are very polite and non-confrontational. edit »
