The episode's plot is a slight parody of the famous found-footage horror film, The Blair Witch Project, with even the famous antagonist (the Blair Witch) of the film, presented as a legend in this episode (referred to here as "Maggie Cinders"). The murder suspects claim that "Maggie" killed the victim, and Brennan even finds a second, unidentified head that seems to corroborate that claim. At the end of the episode, after the killer is caught, Hodgins and Angela are relieved to turn off the video, but then they notice the silhouette of a headless female figure with an axe heading toward the victim right before he was killed. Freaked out, they both offer probably correct and rational theories explaining it, with Angela fearfully asking Hodgins at the end, "Can I stay at your place tonight?", much to Hodgins' obvious pleasure. |

Cam tells Brennan she'll be taking an extended honeymoon and plans on stepping down as head of the Jeffersonian. Hodgins testifies at Zack's trial, but is kicked out of the courtroom after he interrupts Caroline Julian's closing arguments. Aubrey asks Jessica to move with him to Los Angeles, which makes her reevaluate their relationship and end it. Angela is sick, presumably from the night before, but reveals to Brennan that she's pregnant. At Zack Addy's appeal, Hodgins testifies about the blood evidence found on the body of Gormogon's apprentice (discovered in "The Steel in the Wheels"), which proves Zack's innocence, and Brennan testifies to his character. Based on the new evidence, Zack is exonerated of murder and his life sentence is overturned. However, the judge determines that he must finish out the last 13 months of his separate sentence for helping the actual killer as he is, in fact, guilty of that crime. While Zack isn't released as the others had hoped, he accepts his sentence as 13 months is nothing compared to the life sentence he was previously facing. At the wedding reception, Booth goes to see Avalon (at the request of Angela), who warns him that she had a vision of Brennan in danger. The team discovers that Mark Kovac has escaped from prison and is after Booth. Booth goes to the Jeffersonian and they learn Cam's security ID is missing, but was used in the middle of night. Everyone evacuates the Jeffersonian, but Booth, Brennan, Angela, and Hodgins are left stuck inside.

| The Jeffersonian suffers heavy damage from the bomb blasts, but Booth, Angela, Hodgins, and Brennan survive thanks to Booth disarming one of the bombs in time. They are eventually rescued, but Brennan suffers a minor brain injury that keeps her from understanding complex concepts and remembering a vital clue she discovered on the body of Kovac's latest victim before the blast. With Brennan incapacitated, Daisy Wick, Clark Edison, Arastoo, Jessica Warren, and Wendell Bray pull together to use everything Brennan taught them to figure it out for themselves. The interns eventually determine that Brennan found clues pointing to a childhood home of the victim that Kovac is using as a hideout. At the same time, Hodgins and Cam examine the bomb Booth disarmed and find the DNA of the bomb maker: Jeannine Kovac, Mark Kovac's supposed wife who is really his sister. The Kovac siblings are revealed to have been working together to get revenge for their father's death and Jeannine refuses to cooperate. Using the information gathered by the interns, Booth, Brennan, and Aubrey lead a SWAT team to Kovac's hideout, where Kovac attacks with a machine gun. Booth suffers an injury to his hand and Brennan's brain heals in time for her to fix it, allowing Booth to kill Kovac. With Kovac dead, the team clears out the lab in preparation for its reconstruction. Hodgins is left in charge of the Jeffersonian while Cam and Arastoo go on a leave of absence to pick up their three adopted sons in Mississippi. Aubrey accepts a position as supervisory special agent in D.C. (as opposed to the earlier-offered position in Los Angeles), having concluded that he belongs in D.C. after recent events, and agrees to share some fried chicken with Karen (possibly implying the start of a new relationship). Caroline Julian promises to ensure that Jeannine Kovac will be locked up for the rest of her life for her role in Mark's crimes. Booth and Brennan sit on the bench outside the Jeffersonian and reminisce. |
