TEXT: TEASER: (Open: A young boy is jumping on his bed in his bedroom. White particles are falling from the ceiling, landing on his head and all over his bed. His mother is in another room of the house.) DYLAN: Mom, it's snowing! DYLAN'S MOM: Are you jumping on your bed again, Dylan? DYLAN: Yeah, cause it's snowing! Come make a snowman with me! (Dylan's mother opens the door to his bedroom.) DYLAN'S MOM: Oh, what have you done in here? (She glances up at the ceiling to find that it is cracking and raining down plaster.) Sweetie, come here. (Dylan jumps off the bed and runs to his mom. She peers at his hair.) DYLAN'S MOM: Oh, my God! DYLAN: What's wrong? DYLAN'S MOM: It's not the good kind of snow, honey. (The ceiling cracks and creaks and then breaks apart, raining down all kinds of junk onto the bed where the boy was jumping only moments before. The woman stares in horror as all the stuff from the apartment above hers falls into the bedroom. A decomposed body falls onto the bed and then a skull follows shortly after, bouncing off the bed and onto the floor, covered in maggots. The boy grins.) DYLAN: Cool! Dibs on the skull! (Cut to: The boy's room with all the junk on the bed. Booth is looking around and Brennan is examining the remains.) BOOTH: Who keeps this much junk? Oh, whoa. Wow! Washington Capitals puck from the '80s. That's classic. BRENNAN: Victim is male... in his 40s. BOOTH: That's all you got? I mean, usually you have just a list of specifics I don't even understand. BRENNAN: I'm very distracted. BOOTH: Yeah, I bet you are with all the junk here. BRENNAN: No, not that. You probably heard about the full set of interspecies hominid remains that were
SUMMARY:
The team investigate the remains of a hoarder whose body fell through the floor to another apartment when it collapsed due to major termite damage. They must sift through all his belongings to try to determine the cause of death. Hodgins is asked a favor from Angela's father ( Billy Gibbons ) to try to steal back a car he lost at a card game, although it just turns out to be a test to see if he would do it. Daisy is accepted to go to the Maluku Islands to study a full set of interspecies hominid remains that could be a crucial link in the evolutionary chain. She and Sweets discuss if he should go with her, as she will be gone for a year, but Sweets stays and they say their goodbyes at the airport. Brennan is also accepted to take part in the project, but is unsure if she wants to leave. Booth is contacted by the Army to return as a Sergeant Major to train soldiers in apprehending insurgents, but also is unsure if he wants to go. Later, the Jeffersonian team makes decisions that will have them apart for a year: Angela and Hodgins travel to Paris; Brennan and Daisy go to the Maluku Islands; and Booth goes to Afghanistan to train soldiers.
