EPISODE SYNOPSIS
When human remains are found alongside the railroad, Brennan and Booth are called to the case. The bones belong to Levi Yoder, a member of the Amish community who disappeared roughly two months prior to his Rumspringa, or exploration of the outside world. Brennan and Booth discover that Levi was a piano prodigy, and their investigation leads them to believe that his extraordinary talent may have lead him to an untimely death. Meanwhile, Cam copes with the stress that comes from being a new parent, and Booth helps keep Cam’s stepdaughter Michelle (guest star Tiffany Hines) in line.

BEST BONES AND BOOTH MOMENTS

  • Booth and Brennan having one of their usual car talks about the touchy subject of religion. Booth, the devout Catholic, and Brennan, the rational scientist and religious skeptic, disagree on the idea of Amish Rumspringa.
  • In another car talk, Booth and Brennan, because of the situation with Cam's daughter Michelle, land on the subject of teenage sex. Of course, both partners have very strong opinions on the subject, making for a humorous conversation.
  • At the episode's end, Brennan and Booth share a rather heartbreaking and emotional conversation regarding the case's outcome, and together they revisit the Yoder's to share a video of Levi playing the piano, allowing his parents to experience their son's amazing gift.

BONES AND BOOTH ROMANTIC DEVELOPMENTS

  • Booth & Bones in a car conversation share with each other how old they were when they each lost their virginity, well Booth does only indirectly. This is the type of thing that only romantically involved couples would usually share with one another.

  • Bones notices that Booth has his Cocky belt buckle on again and says she likes it, "it's Boothie". Most guys are not going to like this kind of feminine claiming behavior unless it comes from the right girl. Booth doesn't seem to mind that much.

EPISODE TRIVIA

  • Booth lost his virginity when he was 16, Bones lost hers when she was 22. Typical of Bones, she was not in love, she found someone that could provide a skillful introduction so she could learn from the experience, like taking a class on the subject.
  • Cam's adopted daughter Michelle is now played by Tiffany Hines. Dana Davis, who previously played Michelle in the season four episode "The Doctor in the Den," left the show to play Chastity on ABC Family's 10 Things I Hate About You.
  • Booth originally started wearing his Cocky belt buckle in season 2's "The Boneless Bride in the River". Bones bought him a replacement in season 4's "The Hero in the Hold" episode.
