Caroline: A jury is never gonna believe this amnesia story.
Booth: But it's true.
Caroline: Maybe this is true, too. (turns to Brennan) Leger tried to rape you. He was a notorious horndog. We claim self defense, you're out in three years.
Booth: No, I don't care what it looks like or how you're reading the evidence, Caroline. She didn't do it.
(Brennan looks at him with a smile, obviously touched) (edit) (Brennan at the New Orleans police station, Caroline and Booth have just joined her)
Brennan: I've told Detective Harding everything I know so far.
Caroline: (to Booth) She's a fool? You didn't tell me she's a fool.
Booth: She's a brilliant forensic anthropologist.
Brennan: I have three degrees, I've pioneered research in -
Caroline: (Pointing to the little bag) What's that?
Brennan: A gris-gris bag. I found it in my hotel room. I'm assuming the person who left it there is trying to frame me, so the tooth is probably Graham's.
Caroline: Three degrees and still a fool. This interview is over Rose, I need to speak with my client alone before she gives herself a lethal injection.
Detective Harding: Of course, of course. (leaves)
Booth: Ok, Bones. what the hell where you talking to her for?
Brennan: I was just trying to help.
Caroline: Sew those lips together girl, because there is no such thing as helping the New Orleans police. They just wanna close the case as quickly and easily as they can and you are making it Christmas time for them.
Booth: Ok, listen, there is no way that Bones could have killed Leger. I mean, it's just not her, I mean, look at her. (edit) Detective Harding: I'm here to arrest Dr. Brennan for the murder of Graham Leger.
Booth: (standing in front of Brennan between her and Harding) That's not gonna happen.
Detective Harding: I'm pretty sure it is.
Brennan: I told you Booth.
Booth: (exasperatedly) Bones, please, just for once in your life will you be quiet!
Detective Harding: That's good advice because everything you say can and will be held against you in a court of law. (sees the little bag Brennan is holding) What is that?
Brennan: It's a...I found it on my pillow. (hands it to Harding)
Booth: (more exasperatedly) Bones!
Detective Harding: Thank you Dr. Brennan.
Booth: What's the probable cause?
Detective Harding: Traces of Dr. Brennan's blood in Leger's home, Leger's blood on her clothing, from the clinic.
Booth: Is that it?
Detective Harding: All that I'm prepared to share with the federal government. Now please, step away from my collar.
Booth: I'm afraid I can't let that happen. (Brennan steps away from
behind him and lets herself be arrested) Bones! Jeez!
Brennan: It's better if nobody else dies while we get to the bottom of this. (Booth hits himself on the forehead)
Booth: You know what, I wasn't planning on dying.
Brennan: It's not you I worry about. (while being dragged off in handcuffs) You're welcome to the room, it's paid for. (edit) Brennan: (talking about Dr. Graham Leger's murder) It could have been me.
Booth: No, it couldn't.
Brennan: Yes. What? How do you know?
Booth: I just know, okay? I'd bet my professional career on it. I already did.
Brennan: What?
Booth: Nothing.
Brennan: What did you do?
Booth: Bones, stop! This is the last time and place that you wanna be rational, okay? Let's just be wildly emotional and assume that you didn't psychotically murder a co-worker who invited you over for dinner! (edit) Booth: Hey Bones, howsabout while you're a murder suspect, you act more like a normal woman and less like Lily Munster, k? (edit)
Booth: But it's true.
Caroline: Maybe this is true, too. (turns to Brennan) Leger tried to rape you. He was a notorious horndog. We claim self defense, you're out in three years.

We learn in this episode that Brennan has a hunting licence and hunts for food.
(edit)
It would have been very difficult for Brennan to have lifted the man and nailed him to the wall, a foot off the ground, with one injured hand. The fact that Brennan's hand was injured must have gone unnoticed by the police or they would have seen her as a victim, not as a suspect.
(edit)
Goof: Angela tries to get an image from impact marks on Mouton's pelvis bone. However when Sam Potter sprinkles fwan ginea (various ashes) on the remains of Mouton, the image appears on the ribcage.
(edit)
At the start of the episode, a TV station giving a news report in New Orleans is identified as "8 News." In New Orleans, channel 8 (WVUE) is the Fox affiliate, which broadcasts "Bones."
(edit)
Booth compromises evidence by taking Dr. Brennan's earring from the house of the murder, displaying his loyalty to Dr. Brennan above his loyalty to the case. He trusts and cares enough for Dr. Brennan to know that she could not be a part of a ritual murder voluntarily.
(edit)
Angela: You're hopping the Streetcar Named Desire with Booth? Oh, I love this.
A Streetcar Named Desire is a play written by Tennessee Williams set in New Orleans. (edit) Booth: Hey Bones, howsabout while you're a murder suspect, how 'bout you act more like a normal woman and less like Lily Munster, k?
Lily Munster was the mother/homemaker of the "creepy" sitcom family on the television show The Munsters which aired in the mid 1960's. (edit) Booth: All right, great then we just toss the ring into the molten river and blah blah.
This is a reference to the Lord of the Rings trilogy of movies which take place in a fantasy world where a hobbit named Frodo is the keeper of a mystical ring, who must complete his epic journey of destroying the ring while keeping it from the evil Sauron and his minions along the way. (edit)
