TEXT: "The Conman in the Meth Lab" [SCENE_BREAK] TEASER (Open on a State Police training ground, an old quarry. A State Police Instructor stands facing a class of cadets) STATE POLICE INSTRUCTOR: Alright Cadets, listen up. What I am cradling, lovingly, in my arms is an M203 40mm canister launcher. (He holds it up to show the cadets). What's it for? Cadet Williams. CADET WILLIAMS: TEAR GAS. STATE POLICE INSTRUCTOR: That's right. That, (indicates a trailer nearby) is a meth lab, our boys took it three days ago. How do you think they did that? CADET WILLIAMS: TEAR GAS. STATE POLICE INSTRUCTOR: WRONG. And that is why we are here. I'm gonna demonstrate for you why we DON'T fire tear gas into a meth lab. (Aims weapon at trailer, fires shot through a window) (The trailer explodes in a fireball; something is flung from the trailer by the explosion and lands on the windshield of a vehicle in front of them. It is a charred body) STATE POLICE INSTRUCTOR: (hesitantly) We're gonna need a, er a fire extinguisher, then maybe some sort of... trauma counselor. [SCENE_BREAK] (Cut to: The Hoover building. Int. Sweets' Office. Sweets sits facing the door, waiting. Booth enters.) BOOTH: Hey'm sorry I'm late. (We see Brennan sitting opposite Sweets. Booth sits next to her.) BRENNAN: Well according to Sweets chronic lateness is a way of asserting control. SWEETS: That's right. BOOTH: So you believe that? DR BENNAN: No, I figured there was traffic or something kept you at work. BOOTH: Exactly, work. Work Bones okay. I was putting the final touches on
SUMMARY:
Booth and Brennan investigate the scene where a body was uncovered during a police training exercise. The team identifies the body as a struggling inventor's father who had recently reunited with his son. But when a second body surfaces, the team is led on a trail of deception to find out who was the actual con-man in the inventor's life. Clark Edison returns to the lab, and he and Hodgins work on piecing together blueprints from one of the inventor's potentially valuable inventions. Meanwhile, Booth's younger brother Jared (guest star Brendan Fehr ) moves to D.C. to take a job at the Pentagon, and Brennan, smitten with Jared, agrees to go on a date with him to a White House function. Her date with Jared leads her to learn information about Booth's past and give her a far greater understanding into her partner's motives.
