Originally aired on November 29, 2005 on FOX network, the episode is written by Dana Coen and directed by Sanford Bookstaver.
The episode features FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth and Dr. Temperance Brennan's investigation into the human remains of a teenage girl found inside a refrigerator and a subplot concerning the relationship between Brennan and her former lover and professor, Michael Stires.
The doctor discloses to Booth and Brennan that his former office manager, Mary Costello, had supplied the victim with drugs.
The trial boils down to a contest between the cold factual style of Bones and the charming layman approach of Michael.
In the first few rounds, the expert witness for defense has the upper hand with his charming layman approach and his smear campaign against Brennan.
