In this episode of Bones, the following happens. We see Bones as she does a TV interview, during which she says that she is not planning on having children. Then Booth takes Bones to a crime scene, where a car burnt out is found. They believe that a child was inside of the car and since the child is now missing, they believe he or she has been kidnapped. They have called Bones in to help identify the victim, in order to try to learn who the child is.
When they check the bones they learn that the victim gave birth 5 8 years ago. They soon believe that they have IDed the victim and that she has an 8 year old son. She and her husband Carl have recently separated. They go to Carl's house, but he isn't there. We then see that US Marshalls are there and that Carl is actually in the Witness Protection Programme.
We learn from her sister, that the victim left her husband; because she found out that he was having an affair. Everyone who works in the lab, have to have a security meeting, to make sure that they can work on certain cases. When they examine the victim's body, they find part of an ear inside of her mouth. Soon they believe that she was tortured, in order to find out where he husband was hiding. They soon find Carl holding the people he is suppose to testify against hostage in order to get his son back. They claim that they don't have his son and also don't know where his son is nor do they know who took him. He is taken back into Witness Protection and tells Booth he will only testify if he sees Booth with his son, before he goes into court.
Booth gets a box sent to him, and inside in the finger of the missing boy. When Bones looks at it we learn that he was still alive when his finger was cut off. Off of the finger, they learn where they think the boy is being held and so Booth, Bones and SWAT all head there. Once inside a gun fight breaks out and soon they find the little boy in there with his hand wrapped in a bloody towel, since he is now missing one finger. As he is being placed into an ambulance, his father arrives, and he is reunited with his son.moreless

Notes
ADD NOTES- According to Noah Hawley, the writer of the episode, the main idea of the episode was that the characters would get to save a person's life by using their skills, whereas in most of the series' episodes they find a dead body then investigate the death. Hawley also wanted to raise Booth's stakes in this case, then give him the chance to take some real action and save a boy's life not just based on his expertise as an investigator and a sniper, but also as a father. In addition, the security review conducted on the characters in the episode was used to explore each person's quirks and create possible scenarios that played against who the audience thinks they are.

Quotes
ADD QUOTES- Hodgins: (to the agent who called him a non-security risk) I know things that would curdle your blood, including a formula that literally curdles blood. Edit
- Pickering: Can you tell me what you were doing in Cuba? Brennan: Only if you told me first. Pickering: I beg your pardon? Brennan: I don't know your security clearance. Pickering: Well, what is your security clearance? Brennan: You should check with the State Department. Pickering: I'm from the State Department. Brennan: Then that should make it easy for you. Pickering: (stares incredulously) When you were in Cuba, did you meet with a man named Juan Guzman? (Brennan stares in shock. She holds a finger up, picks up the phone, and dials while Pickering looks on in confusion.) Brennan: Hello. It's Dr. Brennan from the Jeffersonian. You told me to call you if anyone asked about...you know. Him. (pauses) Someone from the state department named Samantha Pickering. (gives phone to Pickering) Pickering: Pickering. (pauses) Yes, sir. Yes, I'll wait-I'll wait here. (gives phone back to Brennan, who hangs up) Brennan: Any more questions? Pickering: No. Uh, no, in fact, the entire review is suspended. I'm to wait here until someone comes to destroy my notes. Edit
- Pickering: Hypothetically, you have a piece of information. Zack: Secret and meaningful information? Pickering: Yes. And the security of the country at stake. Could I bribe you to give it to me? Zack: No. Pickering: Threaten you? Zack: No. Pickering: What if I made a reasonable, rational argument? Very persuasive. Zack: Merely persuasive? Pickering: Irrefutable. I make an irrefutable argument as to why you should give me this piece of information. Would you do so? Zack: Not without checking with Dr. Brennan or Angela first. See what they said. Maybe Agent Booth if he talked to me. He probably wouldn't. I'd check with Dr. Hodgins, but he'd say it was all part of some conspiracy so I mostly only take his advice on women. Edit

Allusions
ADD ALLUSIONS- Agent Booth: Is there a codeword I can tell Donovan so he will know that you sent me? Carl Decker: Tell Donovan, "Paladin." A Paladin is the prototypical "knight in shining armor," a hero of sterling character and courage, who rights wrongs and defends the weak and oppressed. The word comes from the Latin word palatinus ("attached to the palace"). Edit
