- TriviaHannah has the same the Third Army sticker on her laptop that the shop owner in Twisted Bones in the Melted Truck, s6 e8, tattooed on his arm.
- GoofsWhen Bones first starts playing the CDs of the victim (Lauren), and it sounds like Bones, she opens the portable CD player and stops the CD spinning. When she closes the player lid, the CD starts playing where it left off rather than from the beginning again, like all portable CD players that have been opened. The scene played as if she had pressed pause, not completely stopped and opened the player.
- Quotes
Special Agent Seeley Booth: Well, Dr. Brennan just wonders how someone of that importance could disappear.
Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan: So - so quietly?
Dr. Adit Gadh: "I will show you fear in a hand full of dust." T.S. Elliot. We don't actually fear death. We fear that - no one will notice our absense. That we will disappear without a trace.

Featured review
Bones get some past due introspective insight
This was one of the best and most touching episodes I've yet seen. We've all wanted Bones to lighten up a little, (though not too much or there goes the show!) and give us a glimpse under the facade. And we wanted it to be more than surrendering to the teasing sexual flirtation she's been carrying on with Booth.
This was as good a payoff as we can expect until the series finale. In this episode, Bones got a deep look into herself, and realized that what she thought was her strength — her objectivity and ability to be dispassionate — was really a weakness that could cost her dearly.
I think one of the reviewers missed the boat badly. Was Bones acting out of character? Well, yes! THAT was the point of the episode. And as for her recognizing herself in the photo when no one else did... once again, that was a meaningful way to show how deeply she was personalizing the case. She saw in the dead doctor a glimpse of what could be in store for her. What rational person, no matter how dispassionate, would not act out of character? I half expected Micah to reveal himself as the Ghost of Christmas Past, Present and Future.
The scene where she finally confessed her love to Booth (somewhat indirectly, but effectively) was very moving. I so wanted to reach out and comfort her. Her eyes had been opened, and her world was turned upside down, and the man she loved was no longer in a position to return her love.
It was a life-changing event, though I still expect them to end up together. (Really together, not implied or assumptive like Luke and Lorelai.)
All in all, terrific insight into Bones' true feelings and Booth's nobility.
