TEXT: "The Woman in Limbo" [SCENE_BREAK] ACT I (Open - Medico-Legal lab - Booth is trying to get Brennan out of the lab, and everyone keeps stopping her) GOODMAN: All I ask is that you stop by the archeology section and identify the skull as a Syrian, Hetite or Egyptian BRENNAN: I'm in court today. I need my notes. GOODMAN: Well, there's a photocopy in the file BRENNAN: No. The last time I read from photocopies, the defense lawyer told the jury I was winging it. BOOTH: Ready? (claps hands) Chop, chop. BRENNAN: I can't find my original notes... BOOTH: Photocopy in the file. BRENNAN: No. The last time the defense lawyer told the jury that I... BOOTH: (cutting her off) It was a ploy. It failed. Let's go. HODGINS: I found glass. I found pollen. Which do you want first? BRENNAN: Pollen. GOODMAN: Perhaps you could swing by archeology on your way to your ah..court.. BOOTH: No. No swinging. ANGELA: Alright. Her height makes no sense and her spine length is..wacky. ZACK: Dr. Brennan? BRENNAN: Okay. Calculate the height off the femur and assume that fire shrunk her spine. BOOTH: I don't think you should talk about other cases so much on court day. You might get confused. GOODMAN: One simple question. A Syrian, Hetite or Egyptian? ZACK: Dr. Brennan? GOODMAN: 5 Minutes. BOOTH: Bones! BRENNAN: (to Zack) What's up? ZACK: Buttercup. If you sign off on these tissues markers, Angela can finish the facial reconstruction. BRENNAN: Why did you say buttercup"? ZACK: What's up, buttercup is an amusing, rhyming, linguistic meme. This (points to skull) is the latest
SUMMARY:
While trying to determine the identity of a Jane Doe, Brennan is shocked to learn the remains are those of her mother, who went missing with her father 15 years ago. After years of uncertainty and not knowing what happened to her parents, Brennan finally has confirmation of her mother's death, and the news understandably hits her hard. Now that remains have been uncovered, Booth can open an investigation into the case for the first time. After researching Brennan's parents' lives, Booth surprises her with the news that her parents were not the people she thought they were - both were outlaws living under assumed identities. With the team working to glean more information from her mother's skeleton, to Brennan, she's now more of a Jane Doe than ever. As more details of her parents' past, in addition to her own, come to the surface, Brennan must come to grips with a whole new reality.
