Don’t let your privileged babies grow up to be murderers

Listen up, squints.

Hes more into the nihilists work.

(Like the cartoon cat?

But Fisher, to spoil this episodes most satisfying twist, is full of it.

Take Fishers response to this weeks body.

I really am going to miss his drama.

The Jeffersonian team is working to give this victim a name as we speak.

That name is Austin Wilson.

Austin, age 24, was a foster kid, a Princeton graduate, and a med school hopeful.

And look where she is.

Like Austin and everyone on this show Brennan pushed back against the system and defined herself.

Jacobs SAT scores are already well above average.

Austin talked Jacob into applying early at UVA, which Sue didnt take very well.

Brennan is incredulous: You slapped Austin because he talked your son into applying for a different well-regarded university?

Just like that, I know Booth and Brennans kids are going to be just fine.

If Austin had the gun on him, anyone could have used it.

They question Amy Bryan, who must have known, but she isnt talking.

Anyway, she didnt do it.

Cut to her husband: Its a horrible feeling.

But I do love Brennans reaction when she catches Cornelia in the act: She just shrugs.

Austin didnt have Brennans patience.

After enduring Cornelias unwanted assaults too many times, he headbutted Gavin and quit.

He was tired of people who assume they can do whatever they want just because theyre rich.

Jacob asked if the two could still hang out, and Austin said no.

He called him a paycheck.

The system broke Austin in the end.

Jacob fought him, and Austin fell down a flight of stairs, which is actually how he died.

I dont have a lot of sympathy for this kid; he doesnt even seem remorseful.

He has a new son and a new wife, and he wants Aubrey to help support them.

Aubrey doesnt know if he can even trust what his father is telling him, but he wants to.

And he doesnt want to sentence another kid, much less his half-brother, to a childhood like his.

But not every bad father can be Max.

A lot more of them are Booths dad.

Until Pops took us in.

(We miss ya, Pops.)

And Booths instincts were good; Philip Aubrey is the worst.

Aubrey gets the last word.

Dont ever take credit for how I turned out, okay?

he warns his handcuffed dad.

Any good in me was despite having you as a father.

Booth treats him to a burger and shake, because theyre both on this Island of Misfit Toys together.

NEXT: Brennans No.

As for Brennan, shes busy auditioning to narrate her own audiobooks.

To be fair, the guy narrating her books right now is really bad, but Brennan is worse.

Thats exactly the kind of pulpy twist that Fisher probably holds against her.

But Fishers word choice gives him away.

One story The Perspicacity in the Bones (memorably bad title) at least got the science right.

Fisher wrote fan fiction about Brennans books!

And his story was about a tortured intern who had an affair with his boss!

I have so many questions.

One is creepy; one is just adorably tragic.

Because Fisher is usually the latter, Im going with that.

Brennan, to her credit, thinks this is great.

Shes not going to tell on him.

Its sweet how happy she is to know that her cynical intern isnt a lost cause.

Of course, this only makes Fisher more miserable.

(I am in a hell of my own making.)

Aubrey really needs to work on his poker face.

The spiders wind up in Cams hair; she somehow doesnt notice until theyre practically in her eyeball.

Cam comes back ready to make Hodgins suffer.

(His wife is on board.)

Okay,Sue Sylvester.

This is going to be good.
