In this episode of Bones, the following happens. After a black bear dies, an arm is found inside of his stomach. The bear and the dismembered arm are in Washington, and so Bones and Both travel there to investigate. When they get to the small town they learn of a woman named Ann, who disappeared a few weeks before. We soon learn from the bones that the killer is also a cannibal. We also learn that the bones are that of a male, and not that of the missing woman Ann. They soon have a suspect in the form of a ranger. When they go to see him, he runs. And since they can't find him, Booth and Bones head to a bar.
Bones is shocked when Booth tells her that 3 of the men in the bar are hitting on her. So the next morning, with the light, they head of in search of the ranger. But soon we learn that all of the meat in the ranger's freezer isn't human, but in fact bear meat. He was the poacher, and so he is arrested for this crime. Whilst in the woods, Bones discovers 2 bodies, one of which is the missing woman, who is missing her heart.
We learn that both victims were killed by a gunshot to the head. The male victim is a young man named Adam, who wanted to become a park ranger. They soon ID who the killer is and so Bones and Booth head there, to make an arrest. We learn that the killer is in fact, the local doctor and when they find him, they see him burning bodies. Bones knocks him out with a bedpan, and he is then arrested.moreless

TRIVIA (17)
ADD TRIVIA-
Dr. Randall: If I were your cannibal, would I have pointed out that there were human bones in the bear after he autopsy?
Anyone with a PhD should know the difference between a necropsy and an autopsy, especially someone who works with caring for animals and/or humans.
-
Brennan remarks that the cannibal will exhibit signs of insanity as they will have prions in their brain. She is speaking of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, the human form of mad cow disease (BSE). This was observed in far-eastern cannibals and also arises in the X-Files episode "Our Town," where, in an attempt to gain immortality, the inhabitants eat visitors and then start to go mad. Realistically, the chances of getting CJD from being a cannibal are very slim, as scientists have discovered that genes protecting against prion diseases have long been widespread throughout the world, making a considerable part of the population immune to these kinds of illnesses.
-
Temperance's book that Charlie is reading is entitled "Bred in the Bone."
-
After Hodgins sifts through the bear excrement and finds a piece of skin he looks at it under the lamp. However, he grabs the lamp with his poop-covered glove, which is not very sanitary at all.
-
There is actually no town of Aurora in Washington state.
-
Goof: In the begining of the episode Dr. Brennan and Booth are in Booth's car, a volvo, and the interior is black leather. A minute later when they arive and step out of the car the car's interior is light beige.
-
Goof: In the beginning of the show they refer to the case as coming from eastern Washington state. However the show is obviously supposed to be set in the mountains. While there are mountains in Washington that run through the middle of the state, the eastern part of the state is mostly flat with either farms or dry, barren land.
-
Goof: Bones and Booth's arrival in Aurora, WA was computer-generated. When their car pulls up to the curb in front of several other cars, the shadow their car casts does not extend to the edge of the curb, while the other cars' shadows extend well on to the sidewalk.
-
Goof: At 5:36 all the shadows are hard to the left with the sun at the right, but a second later when the shot changes, the light is now coming from the wrong side.
-
Goof: Just as Booth exits the car after they arrive in town, the side mirror catches the reflection of the camera and cameraman.
-
Goof: From 31:06 until 31:13, the Native American park ranger is not cuffed -- he is merely holding the cuffs in his hands. Later, at31:37, he is properly cuffed.
-
Goof: Bones puts the broken parts of the arm bone back in line. But when she walks away to set up her laptop the bones are no longer in line.
-
Goof: When Booth first shows Brennan the photos of the hand she remarks that it is probably male, based on the size. However, the photos show no marks or indicators of the size of the hand, so it would be impossible for her to arrive at such a conclusion based on the photos.
-
Goof: During one of the scenes in the woods, the rock known as Half Dome appears. Half Dome is in Yosemite National Park, approximately 700 miles from the Washington border.
-
Goof: During the scene where Brennan and Booth are dancing in the bar, the sheriff is first shown with his badge over his right pocket. In the next shot of the sheriff, the badge is over the left pocket, and his nametag is over the right pocket.
-
Goof: Right after Dr. Brennan hits Dr. Rigby in the head with the bed pan, he falls and hits the male victim. As this happens you can see the victim's head move from the impact. This would not happen in real life, because the body would be very stiff and perhaps even pumped full of silicon.
-
Goof: You can see the abdomen of the actress playing the corpse of Ann Noyes move just after Dr. Brennan takes a picture of it during the autopsy.

QUOTES (36)
ADD QUOTES-
Ranger Sherman: Ever hear of the bone gatherers? Collecting bones so that the dead can make the journey to the next world?
Brennan: I'm not even sure I believe in the next world.
Ranger Sherman: Doesn't matter what you believe in. You're a bone gatherer. That's a good thing, helping the spirits move on.
Brennan: Thank you. That's probably the best job description I'll ever get. -
Denise: If I were your cannibal, would I have pointed out that there were human bones in the bear after the autopsy?
Brennan: An autopsy on an animal is called a necropsy.
Denise: Yeah, there's a reason I get all the guys and you don't. -
(Booth and Brennan are in a car, Brennan is talking to Angela on the phone)
Angela: So, did you catch the guy?
Brennan: No, Booth lost him in the woods.
Booth: Whoa, wait a second. I didn't lose him.
Brennan: Well, you didn't catch him.
Angela: So, you two have the night free?
Brennan: Yes, we can't do anything until I get a determination on that meat and Booth has to wait until it's light to look for the guy he lost.
Booth: I didn't lose him, okay? He - tell her that my flashlight died.
Brennan: She doesn't care.
Angela: What?
Booth: Give me the phone. (He reaches for her cell but Brennan pushes his hand away.)
Brennan: It's not safe to drive and talk on the cell phone.
Angela: Are you two fighting?
Booth: Professional pride. Tell her! Please tell her that.
Brennan: Booth wants you to know that he lost the guy because his flashlight died.
Booth: And because he's an Indian and he's a park ranger and he's very, very familiar with the territory. Tell her that.
Brennan: (to Angela) Did you hear that?
Angela: Yeah, something about Indian territory?
Brennan: (to Booth) Yeah, she says she understands. (to Angela) I need to know about that meat as soon as possible.
Angela: Yeah, I'll tell Zack.
Booth: Give me the phone. (He grabs the phone away from a protesting Brennan.) Hold up. (to Angela) Plus, you know what? It wasn't even my flashlight, okay? It was the Sheriff's flashlight and his batteries, they ran out, okay? (Brennan snatches her phone back)
Brennan: Goodnight Angela. -
Brennan: You know, I'm gonna come back up here this winter. Charlie says the skiing is great.
Booth: Oh, it's Charlie.
Brennan: Yeah, the overnight guy.
Booth: (laughs) Yeah, I know who he is.
Brennan: I bet he's a great skier. His hips and thighs are perfectly developed for strength and maneuverability.
Booth: (pushes his steak away, disgusted) Okay, I'm done.
Brennan: (totally unaware) What? No good?
Booth: (sulking) Puh.
Brennan: Want some cornflakes? (trying to feed him the cornflakes) Want some? -
(Booth and Brennan on the dancefloor)
Booth: I thought you might need a break.
Brennan: (looks at his shirt which is not buttoned up to the collar) What happened to your shirt?
Booth: Well, we're in a bar. It's a look.
Brennan: Everybody's pumping me.
Booth: Sorry?
Brennan: For information on the case.
Booth: Bones, they're only pretending to be interested in the case.
Brennan: Why?
Booth: They're hitting on you.
Brennan: Are you sure?
Booth: Yes, I'm sure. You're the hottest thing this town has seen in a long time. -
Booth: I tell you what. You can take me out to dinner, hm? Put me on your tab.
Brennan: It doesn't seem ethical.
Booth: You still want that gun now, don't you?
Brennan: We'll start with breakfast. -
Sheriff: Sherman--Ranger Rivers--traced the bear's route back a week. Said they didn't find anything.
Booth: What is he, some kind of Indian scout?
Sheriff: Sherman's a Flathead Indian, but since the bear was wearing a GPS collar, he didn't have to fully utilize his native powers. -
Brennan: We don't just have a killer on our hands, we have a cannibal!
-
Angela: Oh, very pretty.
Hodgins: Lovely. It's a sporocarp called tuber gibbosum after a week in bear poop.
Angela: Thank you. For ruining my moment. -
Charlie: Need a hand? (referring to Brennan holding a box containing a human hand)
Brennan: Thanks, but I'm trying to get rid of this one, these are human remains. -
Booth: Somebody was dismembered and fed to a bear?
-
Hodgins: (to Angela) If we were a Peruvian soccer team and crashed in the Andes, who would you rather eat? Me or Zack?
-
Zack: (to Hodgins) You bogarted my package.
-
Zack: I saw a documentary once where a bear got in a car and drove away.
Hodgins: That was not a documentary. It was a cartoon. -
Brennan: What took you to Guateamala? Ecotourism?
Booth: I went down to shoot somebody through the heart from 1500 feet. -
Booth: You know, it's beautiful here. It's feels good to be out of the city.
Brennan: Yeah, where murderers feed their victims to bears. -
Brennan: Leaving buttons on the trail. Must be an old fish chewer trick.
Sheriff: You mean a snake eater. An old snake eater trick. -
Brennan: Maybe the young man died and the missing girl, hungry and lost, came upon him needing food. She--
Sheriff: Sawed him up and barbequed him?
Brennan: What? There's no evidence that the hand was cooked. -
Sheriff: Have you ever? (points towards mouth)
Brennan: I've never been offered human flesh before.
Booth: Wait a minute. If you had?
Brennan: It's an interesting question. I'd have to measure my own social inclination against scientific inquiry.
Booth: Okay, that's sick. -
Goodman: (to Brennan) The mosquitoes out there are the size of dogs. Pack insect repellent.
-
Brennan: Why is Booth the one who decides when we go to Washington state? He gets the gun and the authority, he's the one that people like.
Goodman: Firstly, he didn't decide that you go to Washington state, he made a request. I am the one who decides where you do and do not go.
Brennan: And secondly?
Goodman: Secondly. It's time to live a little Temperance. Connect with other people.
Brennan: Are you suggesting that I take this opportunity to have sex with Booth on a field trip?
Goodman: Good God, where's Dr. Freud when you need him? -
Booth: Just because you say it in that definitive tone, does not mean that it means anything to me.
-
Jack: I found boring dust.
Angela: Is there any other kind? -
Angela: Did you work all night?
Jack: Yes. I shaved the truffle.
Angela: Is that anything like spanking the monkey? -
Angela: The skin in the scat has a sun on it.
Sheriff: What is that, a haiku?
Booth: It's a tattoo. -
Sheriff Chris Scutter: She seems very friendly, your associate.
Brennan: She's 3,000 miles away.
Booth: Send away for a Russian bride. -
Sheriff Chris Scutter: Can I help you?
Bones: Yeah thanks, I'm with him.
Sheriff Chris Scutter: Suddenly, I wish I was FBI. -
Sheriff Chris Scutter: We see this kinda thing all the time, kids come up here, get baked, do their own version of the Blair Witch Project.
Bones: I don't know what that means.
Booth: Horror movie Bones, didn't make any sense.
Sheriff Chris Scutter: Scary though with the bloody handprints. -
Sheriff Chris Scutter: It's the Japanese right, they pay a fortune for the bear meat, think the gallbladders fix up their pecker troubles.
-
Sheriff Chris Scutter: I don't know if a wall of knives is evidence, but it sure is creepy.
-
Booth: You're a smart-ass, you know that?
Brennan: Objectively, I'd say I'm very smart; although, it has nothing to do with my ass. -
Booth: Look, you're nuts okay? We get it. We don't need to hear the rambling psycho-speech on why you did it.
-
Bones: What if I have to shoot? What part of his body should I hit?
Booth: The part that isn't me. -
Goodman (To Bones): Come on now, you have partially-digested dismembered skeletal remains to examine. That should put a smile on your face.
-
Dr. Jack Hodgins: ... human legs taste like frog legs.
Angela: So I have another reason never to eat frogs. -
Angela: Somebody gnawed on this arm like some kind of . . . man corn?
