Notes[]

Brennan turns 40 in this episode. In Biblical Numerology, the number 40 actually implies the start of a new generation.
Daisy Wick gets a new job with the NFL and Angela gets a grant that had to go to either her or Brennan. Brennan reveals that she recommended Daisy for the job and nominated Angela for the grant. Brennan did a remarkable acting job when confronted with both matters during the episode and successfully fooled everyone due to Brennan historically being a terrible liar.
At the end of the episode, Max Keenan drops what appears to be a hospital bracelet and appears to secretly be worried about something.
Booth reveals that he has gotten Zack Addy an appeal date for a couple of months into the future. The judge agreed to the appeal for the purposes of hearing new evidence. Though Brennan hasn't found anything yet, Booth expresses faith that she will succeed in time.
