Description
Brennan and Booth investigate remains that allegorize biblical text.
Notes
(C+) This episode was all about religion. Arastoo was the lab assistant assigned to this case, part of the rotating group of helpers. Arastoo is probably the least interesting of the group. They likely chose him for this episode because it was all about religion and he is a devout Muslim.
The case is about a victim that has horns and has mental health issues. The case forces Booth and Bones to discuss religion, faith and reason. It is another way to explore the differences between the two characters and how they make an opposites-attract pairing.
And although this is generally what makes the show as fun as it is, it gets kind of hokey sometimes in this regard. This episode also seems like a retread of old story lines. The central thesis to this show is that reason and faith can work together... but can it really?
