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.

Sully: You know how to hurt a guy. It's not a bad thing, I like it! The sauce, the ... zing.
(edit)
Sully: Ready to go?
Brennan: Don't you want to take a shower?
Sully: Nah, I don't sweat that much.
Brennan: Won't you be uncomfortable at the restaurant?
Sully: It's a scuzzy bar. I'll be one of the best smellin' things there. (edit) (Dr. Wyatt and Booth in Booth's office eating take away)
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: Ah, and you confronted him physically?
Booth: Physical confrontation, that's my main skill.
Dr. Wyatt: Entitled you said. Is he a wealthy man?
Booth: Yeah, like the guy who got killed.
Dr. Wyatt: The murder victim, who tried to help a child and then died for it? And your...squint?
Booth: Yes, squint.
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 meaningful 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: Don't you want to take a shower?
Sully: Nah, I don't sweat that much.
Brennan: Won't you be uncomfortable at the restaurant?

Goof: At 21:24 when Booth shoves Hodgins, Booth drops a paper from his notes. He then gets in his car and drives off, without ever picking up the paper he dropped.
(edit)
Caroline, the prosecuting attorney, makes references to various events from previous episodes to illustrate mistakes the team has made when handling investigations.
Caroline: (referring to Booth) Dropping serial killers off of balconies.
In episode 2x12, "The Man in the Cell," Howard Epps was killed when he jumped from Brennan's balcony. Booth initially caught him but his grip slipped and Epps fell to his death.
Caroline: (referring to Angela) Blabbing suspects' names to vengeful fathers.
In episode 2x13, "The Girl in the Gator," 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.
Caroline: (referring to Cam) Cuttin' into heads before their times gettin' poisoned.
In episode 2x12, "The Man in the Cell," Cam was examining the severed head of Howard Epps' ex-wife. Under pressure from Booth to speed up the examination, she neglected standard procedures and cut into the head prior to getting a full set of x-rays. Inside the head was a fragile vessel filled with poison. The vessel broke and released the poison and nearly killing Cam.
Caroline: (referring to Zack) Gettin' blown up because you go grabbin' things you shouldn't have.
In episode 2x12, "The Man in the Cell," Zack and Booth discovered a body with a bag of plaster dust on its abdomen that was another of Howard Epps' victims and a clue in his game. Zack grabbed the bag, just as Booth realized the body was booby trapped. Booth pulled Zack away as the bomb exploded, leaving them with only minor injuries.
Caroline: (referring to Hodgins) Taking photographs from frames.
In episode 2x14, "The Man in the Mansion," Hodgins removed a picture of him and the victim 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 (Hodgins' former finance) was discovered.
Caroline: (referring to Booth) Getting a perfectly good car smashed to bits for no good reason.
In episode 2x11, "Judas on a Pole," Bones' brother Russ, on the run with their father, smashed the car Booth borrowed from Caroline. (edit) Goof: In this episode Cam tells Hodgins that he can't work the case because he knows the victim, but in the season one finale Bones worked on her mother's case and she knew the victim too. This may be because in season one Goodman, who was in charge at the time, understood how important the case was to Bones, but Cam is the new boss in season two and she likes to keep things more professional. Either way there's still a discrepancy in policy. (edit) Goof: At the very end when Brennan and Sully come into the Jeffersonian and begin to kiss, a blond girl in the background walks off the screen. 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)

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").
