Discussion of 1.20 - The Graft in the Girl - Airing 04/26/2006 (FOX/US)

TV.com was acting up but according to my local TV listing this episode is described as follows:

Brennan and Booth investigate a girl's rare terminal cancer and discover she may have been the victim of a crime.

I wonder why they are discussing it in the first place? It's not usually their thing.

But in 2002, family members say, they learned that the ashes didn't belong to their mother. Instead, they were told that an unscrupulous crematorium owner secretly carved up her body "” along with the bodies of hundreds of other newly deceased "” and provided knees, elbows, heads and other parts to medical research organizations in exchange for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

I see Bones is still holding it's own in the ratings for Fox. They show the ratings for this episode here.

LOL Fiver!

N4H I had no idea but I am SERIOUSLY creeped out now let me tell you.

I thought this was a pretty good eppy. And even though the end was cheesy it kinda brought tears to my eyes..it was just sad I guess.

I think Bones will be around for a bit...I have a feeling!
