Trama

The search for Broadsky intensifies as he manages to kill one of the Squints. Angela and Hodgins name their baby. Booth struggles to protect those closest to him, which leads to an unexpected situation.

While there is no extant murder case, Hodgins helps Nigel prepare a cool mechanical demonstration comparing human and tyrannosaurus rex's fighting skills for a paleontology conference. Suddenly an FBI colleague alerts Booth that rogue sharpshooter Jacob 'Jake' Broadsky has killed again, this time fellow rifle art adept Matt Leishenger, whose gun and port access card Jake stole. As feared, the madman targets 'traitors', such as Booth and hence the whole Jeffersonian. Unsuspecting, Booth hands Nigel-Murray the cell-phone Jake takes fatal aim on. Now the team must bury one of their own, Booth protect them and perilously take out the murderer. Bones confesses the closeness under extreme danger brought them physically together.—KGF Vissers

We open with Jacob Broadsky taking in a little target practice with Matt, who reveals that the FBI had visited him and is looking for Jacob. "You have to trust I'm still working for the good guys," says Jacob, before asking Matt for his help and his rifle.

In the next scene, we go to the diner, where Booth , Bones and Sweets eat lunch. They discuss Jacob's case. "From now on, it's all Broadsky all the time," he promises. Vincent enters and announces the "Tyrannosaurus Rex has arrived," which makes Bones quite excited. Apparently, the pair are presenting a paper on the subject. Booth then gets a text: Jacob has been spotted.

Booth arrives at the graveyard to discover Jacob left flowers on a grave. Inside the flowers is a cell phone. It begins to ring and Booth anxiously tells Agent Shaw to track the number. Booth answers: "Hello, Jacob." Jacob insists he is doing good work by killing bad guys. "Don't you forget for a moment that you never see the bullet that takes you down," Jacob warns before hanging up. Later, a very pregnant Angela identifies the cell tower transmitting Jacob's call -- something Booth will be able to do in the future with a handy cell-phone app. Shaw then visits and points out Matt recently withdrew a large amount of money from his bank account.

Sweets, Shaw and Booth go to Matt's compound -- and find a decomposing body. Matt. Naturally, Matt's rifle is missing. Shaw then spots a camera. Jacob is watching them. Back at the lab, Camille examines Matt's body and determines the killer searched the victim's wallet ... but didn't take any cash. Interesting. Hodgins, meanwhile, discovers Vincent and Bones are planning to present a paper on a theoretical arm-wrestling match between a human and a dinosaur. He is VERY excited and soon constructs a robotic armature for Vincent which mimics the strength of the T-Rex's tiny arms. They arm wrestle -- and Hodgins wins. "Yes!" Hodgins yells. "That's one for humanity and zero for the tyrant lizard!" Camille urges the two to get back to work.

In the next scene, you see Jacob setting up equipment in a sniper's nest atop a massive crane overlooking the Jeffersonian. Who is he targeting? Shaw? Booth? Sweets? Hodgins? All of them? Inside the lab, the cell phone Booth found at the gravesite rings. Booth hands the phone to Vincent, telling him to keep Jacob talking while Booth attempts to trace the call using Angela's application. Suddenly, the glass above SHATTERS. Jacob has shot through the window -- and Booth tackles Vincent ... but it's too late. The bullet intended for Booth has hit Vincent in the chest. "Please don't make me leave," Vincent gasps. "Don't make me go ... please ... don't ... please." Then Vincent goes still, clearly dead.

Later, the team meets -- and can't believe Vincent is dead. "He was the sweetest guy ... with all his facts," Hodgins says. Booth enters with news: Jacob was on a construction crane and escaped without a trace. "I don't blame myself," he says. "I blame the guy with the gun." His face says otherwise, especially after Bones points out her partner still has "blood on your hands." She means it literally, of course. Booth then turns to Bones: "You're staying at my apartment tonight." Later, Hodgins discovers a single card was taken from Matt's wallet and left behind traces of gold.

The scene changes to Booth, who is asleep in his bed. He hears a noise, and leaps up, grabbing his gun. It's only Bones, who remains distraught over Vincent's final words. She cries, and Booth does his best to comfort her. Booth hugs his partner. They lie down in bed (but not like THAT). She continues to cry while Booth holds her. The next morning, Camille explains to Angela how she had to call Vincent's mother and break the news. Both begin to cry. Hodgins enters with news: the gold came from an access card. Jacob wanted it. Later, Booth interviews Matt's boss Skip at an area trucking company. The boss explains the company doesn't use access cards. HOWEVER, the boss explains everybody needs such a card to access a nearby shipping port.

Bones, meanwhile, confesses to Angela that she crawled into bed with Booth the previous night. "What exactly happened after you crawled into bed with Booth?!" a super-excited Angela exclaims. Bones only smiles, and the two are interrupted by Hodgins, who announces he has news on the bullet that killed Vincent. Angela tells her husband to leave immediately so she can hear the rest of Bones' story. Hodgins is confused. "Away!" Angela demands. So a flustered Hodgins goes to Camille, explaining he found traces of sea salt among other telling substances. "The bullet was made near the ocean," Hodgins says. "Someplace where they decontaminate produce."

Booth and Shaw, in the meantime, arrive at the port. Booth readies his rifle, while Shaw calls in the cavalry. Time to go hunting. Booth moves between the massive cargo containers, looking for his quarry. Suddenly, Bones and Hodgins call -- and Booth, who can't speak lest he give his position away, listens as the two explain Matt's bones reveal Jacob hit the man where a very powerful bone resides. In other words, it's likely Jacob's hand is broken. "That may have just saved my life," Booth whispers. Suddenly, Jacob shoots, and misses. "You want to give up?" Booth yells. Not a chance. Moments later, Booth gets the drop on Jacob, and tells the sniper to lower his weapon. Jacob makes a move, and Booth FIRES.

Jacob falls to the ground. He has been shot in the leg. "Are you sure you're the good guy in all this?" Jacob asks. Yes, Booth is sure. Back at the lab, Bones gets a call and repeats the news to the team: "Booth got Broadsky!" Everyone celebrates, and Bones and Angela share a conspiratorial smile.

Later, the team gathers to say goodbye to Vincent, whose body is about to be shipped back home. They share stories about the intern -- mostly bizarre facts Vincent had shared. They conclude the unorthodox wake by singing Vincent's favorite song: "Coconut." The scene ends with Booth and Brennan's arms linked.
