ummary

Dr. Temperance Brennan organizes a date with a man she recently met online. Her boss, Dr. Daniel Goodman, arrives and tells her that they have a new case — a member of the Cugini family, who was part of the mafia, had been found at the bottom of a river, with cement shoes.

Special Agent Seeley Booth arrives with Special Agent James Kenton, who had been working undercover with the chief suspects for the murder, the Romano family, for two years. Following this, Booth receives a newer and more important case that needs their attention — a female victim who had been tied up and fed to dogs. After Brennan examines the remains of the female victim and deduces the method of killing, Booth tells Brennan of a similar case that he had worked on, and that his prime suspect, Kevin Hollings, had gone free.

Brennan leaves the crime scene to go on her date with the man she had met on the internet, David Simmons. While walking to the restaurant, she is shot at, and only avoids being hit by bending over to retrieve her dropped cell phone as the shots were fired. While her colleagues are concerned for her, Brennan refuses to stop work, claiming that the best way to find the murderers would be to have her on the case, and then therefore they would catch her attacker too. Despite Brennan's wishes, Booth brings in her date, David, as a suspect, pointing out he would have known where to find her. While Booth tries to prove that David was the one who organized the attack on Brennan, he is displeased when she seems to be very attracted to David.

Angela Montenegro manages to identify the victim as Penny Hamilton, a college student, and Brennan attempts to use an experimental method to identify the gun used on the mafia victim. Zach correctly finds one of the knives used on the college student and realizes that the murder weapon had a nick in the blade, making it distinctive.

Booth and Brennan visit the home of the man Booth suspects of the murder of the college girl, Kevin Hollings. They find a knife with no nick on the blade, and a collection of thousands of keys. While Hollings refuses to talk, Brennan realizes that the keys could be what was used to gouge out the eyes of the victim, and orders a photo of each key to be taken to match with the markings on the skull, prior to their release.

Concerned for her safety, Booth accompanies Brennan home. When he goes to get a drink from her refrigerator, it explodes, injuring him drastically. After he is taken to the hospital, he assigns Kenton the job of protecting Brennan. The chemicals used in the explosion are identified as belonging to the company for which Hollings works.

Dr. Jack Hodgins visits Booth to update him on the case. Together, they realize that Hollings was being framed, and that it must be someone from somewhere within the lab. Just as they realize this, Brennan is kidnapped by Kenton and taken to a warehouse. He ties her up, and prepares to kill her in an identical method to how Hollings killed his previous victims, in order to frame him.

Booth arrives just in time shooting Kenton and saving Brennan from certain death. Following the events, Booth returns to hospital, and the episode closes with Brennan canceling her date in order to spend time with Booth as he recovers.
