TEXT: "Mother and Child in the Bay" [SCENE_BREAK] TEASER (Open in Jeffersonian - Brennan's office, Booth is removing her windbreaker from a hook) BOOTH: Cops say the body washed up on the bay. They think it could be Carlie Richardson (He crosses to hand the jacket to Brennan) BRENNAN: And I'm supposed to know who that is? BOOTH: Yeah. Disappeared a year ago, she was pregnant. C'mon Bones, you have to get a TV, y'know. Or, hey, or at least just, uh, hey, thumb through a People at the checkout stand BRENNAN: Was it in the Journal of Forensic Anthropology? (Brennan starts to walk out of her office, Booth follows her as they walk through the lab) BOOTH: Oh, you know, I forgot to renew my subscription. You know what, Bones? You really need to take up some other interests. BRENNAN: (a little tersely) Well, I'm reading Ted Gioia's History of Jazz, was she mentioned in there? Or maybe in McGhee's Science and Lore of the Kitchen? Or perhaps I should develop an interest in the mainstream media's exploitation of crimes for their entertainment value. BOOTH: (laughing a little) You know, it's amazing Bones. You can really be snotty sometimes BRENNAN: (ignores his chuckle) So, Carlie Richardson? BOOTH: Carlie Richardson, newlywed. Everyone assumed she was murdered. (Brennan swipes her card and walks onto the lab platform, Booth follows) Husband was cheating on her, there was evidence that they had a fight that day. He was covered in scratches. Witnesses said they saw him down by the marina. Yeah, but, hey you know without the body, they had to kick him free. (Brennan begins packing supplies into her field bag) BRENNAN: Well if she's been in the water for a year, the bones will be saturated.
