TEXT: (Open: Medico Legal Lab. Two Jeffersonian workers are wheeling in a body, followed by Booth, Brennan, Andrew Hacker and Catherine Bryar, a marine biologist) DR. CATHERINE BRYAR: On Tuesday morning, a dead Tiger Shark washed up on Rehoboth Beach. Its stomach contained the undigested remains of a human leg. BOOTH: Ouch! BRENNAN: Wha-what's wrong? BOOTH: It's gotta hurt. CATHERINE: A seasoned law enforcement agent who still has empathy for a victim. I'm glad to know you're out there. BOOTH: At your service. HACKER: Dr. Bryar, who is from the National Atmos-Ocean Admiral Association, called us this morning. CATHERINE: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. BRENNAN: Andrew was joking; he likes to put people at ease. It's a nice quality. (Andrew and Brennan share a smile) BOOTH: Well, everybody likes to laugh. (off the leg) Except that guy.

When human remains are discovered in the belly of a shark, Brennan and Booth are brought in to identify the missing person. Evidence suggesting the victim had been the prey of several fish directs the team's investigation to The Aquarium of the Atlantic, where a guest lecturer and notorious self-help guru preaching the healing power of the ocean has gone missing. Meanwhile, both Brennan and Booth navigate their own relationship when a marine biologist shows interest in Booth.
