Sammy Mills was the squintern in the episode "The Strike in the Chord", though she was let go by Bones for lack of aptitude. She was portrayed by B.K. Cannon.
At the beginning if the episode "The Strike in the Chord" it is noted by Dr. Saroyan and others in the lab that they were excited for her to be joining them. Sammy acknowledged their excitement and stated that the years of scrubbing the Jeffersonian bathrooms paid off now that she was finally an intern, though this seems to be the first time in the series that Sammy is mentioned.
Throughout the episode, Sammy continuously reworded the findings of other scientists, notably Dr. Brennan, instead of coming to her own conclusions. This ultimately led Dr. Brennan to letting her go. Dr. Hodgins and Angela were upset at Dr. Brennan for not even giving her an entire day to showcase her talent. Dr. Hodgins even stated that Sammy was "one of us", but Dr. Brennan insisted that it was the correct call, noting an injury to the skull that Sammy had missed during her short time as an intern.
Trivia[]
- Sammy was one of two interns who worked in the lab in only one episode, the other being Scott Starret in The Finger in the Nest.
