Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSince this episode didn't air when it was originally supposed to, they had to re-shoot a few scenes that centered around Hodgins proposing to Angela. By the time this episode aired, there was a proposal accepted and they were almost married. Other than that everything else is the same. This explains why Brennan expresses surprise that Booth was a jock in spite of the fact that they had previously discussed it quite a bit in episode 3x7, "The Boy in the Time Capsule."
- GoofsBecause the episode aired out of its original intended order, several plot lines were skewed. Booth reveals to Dr. Brennan that he was once a jock, which she already knew because they discussed it in "The Secret in the Soil".
- Quotes
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Even Cutler knew you were lying when you said you treated women like that under the bleachers.
Special Agent Seeley Booth: Oh, and you believe him?
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: Yes. Because you still remember that first girl's name.
- Alternate versionsThe original episode, shot during the second season, involved a subplot about Dr Hodgins proposing to Angela and being rejected. The episode was delayed one year and aired during the third season, when Angela already accepted Dr Hodgins' proposal, therefore in the version that aired this subplot was replaced with another one about them being caught on security camera while making love in a storage room at the workplace. Both episodes are available on the 3rd season DVD.
Featured review
This involves the death of a big time college basketball player, most likely headed to the NBA. He is found after four days behind a set of fold up bleachers. The killer could have been any of a dozen people, including a bunch of cheerleaders. It turns out he was an indiscriminate sex machine. We are made to believe that all basketball players (and all male jocks) are exactly the same. Booth has issues with Brennan over this oversimplification. Eventually, it's an STD and DNA that are used to trace things back to the murderer. One thing that bugged me is Brennan standing in the locker room while the players are naked. There would be protocols.
