TEXT: "The Girl in the Fridge" [SCENE_BREAK] (Brennan and Angela are standing around a skeleton on the table in the Bone Room. Brennan is examining a skull.) ANGELA: So I spent the night at Todd's. You remember Todd, right? The bass player with the big hands. Big nimble hands. BRENNAN: Angela, I'm trying to piece together a skull. ANGELA: You're doing a great job. So I wake up this morning and he's sitting there, right? No clothes on, just his bass. Singing to me in this low, low voice. He's creepy. BRENNAN: Angela, is this conversation really appropriate here? ANGELA: Sorry, but I'm into alive people. Anyway, Todd has a friend. BRENNAN: I thought you said he was creepy. ANGELA: Todd, not the friend. (Zack rushes in.) ZACK: Good news. BRENNAN: I hope this is work-related. ZACK: The Anthropology Journal is publishing our piece on the evolution of the coronal suture. BRENNAN: Worthy interruption. (Brennan sets down the skull as Zack holds out his fist. Brennan looks confused.) ZACK: You're supposed to bump my fist with yours. BRENNAN: Why? ZACK: I'm told it's a widely acknowledged gesture of mutual success. (Defeated, Zack puts down his fist. Angela is amused.) ANGELA: I love it when you two impersonate earthlings. (Hodgins walks in carrying a box.) HODGINS: Okay, now this is weird. There's some guy in the lounge who asked me to give you this. (Hodgins hands the box across the table to Brennan.) ANGELA: Is he alive? Because this is an excellent start to a relationship. HODGINS: I didn't put a mirror underneath his nose or anything. He said you'd know who he was when you opened it.
SUMMARY:
Brennan's former forensic anthropology professor - and ex-lover - Dr. Michael Stires, surprises her with a visit to her lab at the Jeffersonian while in town to interview for a job. While they make plans to have dinner together that evening, Booth wheels in a soiled refrigerator, revealing the decomposed remains of a young woman inside. As Brennan and her team go to work to uncover clues as to what may have happened Booth discovers an old ransom note sent to the girl's parents shortly after she disappeared. Booth and Brennan determine the supposed kidnapping was a hoax and Booth makes an arrest in the case. When Bones is called in as an expert witness, she is shocked to discover the defense has brought in an expert of their own.
