[edit] Synopsis
The well preserved remains of an iron age specimen piques the professional interest of everyone in the lab. While Bones and Zack start working on it, Booth brings in another case, skeletal remains of a victim that are dispersed around LA airport. Booth triumphs over Bones refusal to join the investigation if favor of the more scholarly forensics by dangling the attraction of a high profile Hollywood case to Bones superior.
Initial investigation reveals that the bones were scattered by coyotes to every ones mild surprise. The FBI agent in LA pesters Bones about the upcoming movie based on her novel and tries to promote her screenplay talents. The dead person turns out to be high profile call girl with a penchant for plastic surgery for beautification. The pervasive bone restructuring of the face render facial reconstruction impossible. Bones is also distressed by the culture of physical insecurity, leading to an industry of plastic surgery in the city. The circumstantial evidence points to two surgeons who operated on the dead women. But the ending reveals that it was one of the call girl colleagues who murdered her out of jealousy. Meanwhile a standoff between Hodgins and the director is resolved when Hodgins discovers that the intentions behind avoiding forensic investigations on the iron age skeleton is more out of deference to the well preserved body and less due to administrative jurisprudence.
