Quotes

add »
Booth: (as Brennan prepares the skeleton in the vault) Shhh ...
Brennan: What?
Booth: You don't have to scream in here.
Brennan: Right ... (edit)
Brennan: Saying someone is a whiz at psychology is like saying they're good at mind reading. It's a series of lucky guesses.
Booth: Well, I'm bringing Sweets in on the case.
Zack: You make fun of him all the time.
Booth: Only when he messes with our heads. (edit)
(Brennan's phone rings)
Brennan: Brennan.
Zack: (on the phone) Dr. Brennan, it's me Zack. I found something in the Gormogon vault I think you should see.
Max Keenan: (screaming at the phone) What are you being such a hard ass on my kid for Booth?
Zack: Who's that?
Brennan: Nobody. (edit)
Brennan: What about a corruptor?
Booth: Trip was arranged by a lobbyist. Is that too literal?
Sweets: A lobbyist? Oh that's a total pretender to the throne. (laughs) This is how we roll. Right guys? (edit)
Russ: Tempy, what happened to you?
Brennan: I got blown up. (edit)

Trivia

add »
Goof: In the very beginning when Cam arrives at the crime scene and she and Booth start to walk toward the body, she pulls a blue glove onto her left hand. When the camera changes angles she puts the glove on again, and then puts on the other glove. (edit)
Goof: Booth calls Archbishop Stephen Wallace "Your Holiness." This is a mistake. In Catholic hierarchy only the Pope can be referred to with such a name. An Archbishop should be addressed as "Your Excellence." (edit)
"Mary even thought she saw him wink his eyes as if to wink tears away."

The book that Bones is reading to Hayley at the end of this episode is The Secret Garden. (edit)
It's almost impossible to believe that after Booth and Bones got into the car accident no one tried to help them out of the car, or even see if they were okay. There were people visible in the background, yet no one seemed to even care that Booth and Bones were hurt. (edit)
This is the second episode in the series in which Brennan's lips actually touch Booth. (edit)

Allusions

add »
In this episode it is revealed that Gormogon is after Knights of Columbus.

The Knights of Columbus is a Roman Catholic organization founded in 1882 and dedicated to the principles of charity, unity and patriotism. Membership is limited to men aged 18 onwards who are Catholics.
The organization has been chartered in the United States, Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America, the Philippines, Guam, Saipan, and most recently in Poland. (edit)
In this episode Dr. Sweets compares the Gormogon organization to the Sith Lords.

The Sith are characters from the "Star Wars" movies where only a master and an apprentice exist, which is suggested to happen with the cannibals from the Gormogon vault. (edit)

"Character development"
Some good Brennan development in this episode as well as a Booth/Brennan stepping stone.
