TEXT: "The Girl with the Curl" [SCENE_BREAK] TEASER (Exterior - Washington, D.C., Municipal Water Treatment Plant, Daytime. Pan across the wide area of catwalks that crisscross over the water and its filtration systems. FBI agents and plant workers are milling about the area, conversing and working together. DR. TEMPERANCE BRENNAN and SPECIAL AGENT SEELEY BOOTH walk along the bright orange metal walkway toward the site where a body has been found.) DISPATCH: (over radio) Coroner Van Three, what's your E.T.A.? (Radio chatter) BOOTH: They found the victim in the filtration system. Just, you know, some bones, and nobody knows what to make of 'em. BRENNAN: (pulling on bright blue exam gloves) I mean, look at this. Millions of tax dollars are spent to clean and treat tap water and yet people spend billions on bottled water. BOOTH: (holds up the commercial bottle of water he's been carrying) Well, it's cleaner. Look, it comes from a clean mountain stream. BRENNAN: Yeah, which contains fecal matter from animals. BOOTH: (peers at the contents of his water bottle) There's no... bones in it, though, is there? Don't want that in your water. (tosses it into a nearby garbage can) PLANT SUPERVISOR: Excuse me. Um, do you know how long this is gonna take? Department wants to know when I can get back on line. (Cut to a shot of the decomposed human remains, mostly skeletal, as laid out on a bright blue plastic sheet) MAN: (voice heard in the distance) Bag that and mark it. BRENNAN: Any way to determine where the body originated? PLANT SUPERVISOR: Water comes here through pipelines that travel through five different states. That's... why I -- I called the feds in. BOOTH: Great. How many miles of pipe? PLANT SUPERVISOR: (hesitates) About... eighteen hundred.
SUMMARY:
Brennan and Booth investigate the death of Brianna Swanson, a young beauty queen whose decomposed remains are discovered at a water filtration plant. Brianna's father is the initial suspect, but new clues lead elsewhere. Brennan and Booth investigate Brianna's dance school, where they find new information leading to several suspects. Meanwhile, Hodgins works up the nerve to ask Angela out on a date. At first, she rejects due to their situation as co-workers but after seeking advice from Brennan and Cam, she agrees to go.
