Notes[]
- A new intern Jessica Warren is introduced.
- Sweets takes a liking to Ms. Warren.
- Sweets leads the investigation for Booth.
- Warren is seemingly annoying all the other workers at the lab, much like Oliver Wells did/does.
- The victim is a drag queen.
- The drag queen act helps the victim relax and unwind from his daily job as the swim coach.
- The victim's wife is pretty tolerant.
- Booth (still) doesn't like desk work.
- The victim was killed because the murderer needed to save his scholarship.
- Jessica Warren refers to the show The First 48 when she talks about how important the first forty-eight hours of an investigation are. Hodgins recognizes the reference and compliments her on it.
