TV on DVD Buzz

This week’s TV on DVD Season I am going through and doing wrap ups of is the four double sided disc Bones Season 1 set. I will be posting about one side of a disc each day until next Monday. This is the wrap up of Side B of the second disc.

“The Woman in the Car” - Bones has an uncomfortable interview with a Good Morning, D.C. anchor. Booth takes Bones to a scene with a burned body in a car that is suspected to be include a child that was kidnapped. Bones works on trying to identify the body to help identify if there was a child kidnapped and if so who it was. A Homeland Security agent comes to interview the employees at the Jeffersonian. They identify the body using immigration records. When Bones and Booth go to the husband’s house they end up encountering U.S. Marshals and learn that the husband is in the witness protection program. They find an ear in her mouth. Hodgins confronts the Security agent and finds out that they are not interested in interviewing him at all because they already have looked into him due to his cousin being appointed a job in some secret part of the government. It turns out that the Attorney General’s office lost the victim’s husband. Booth and Bones find him threatening the head of the company he is was to testify against. He will not testify unless Booth can get his son back. Booth receives the kid’s finger in an envelope with a note saying back off. When interviewing Bones the security person asks Bones about meeting a specific person and Bones calls someone she is supposed to call if ever asked about that person and the whole security review is suspended and the notes are to be destroyed. In the end Booth helps rescue the kid from his kidnappers.

“The Superhero in the Alley” - A body is found in a dumpster area dressed in a Halloween type costume. It turns out the body was of a boy teenager who loved comic books. It turns out the costume he was wearing was one of the super heroes from a comic. While investigating the death Bones and Booth talk to a group that role played the super hero comic that the teenager was wearing a costume from. They look into the comic books written by him in order to learn more about the victim. When Zack boils done the bones he finds that the kid was sick when he died. It turns out his parents did not even realize that the kid had leukemia again, as they thought he was still in remission. They find a bone fragment that does not belong to the boy. They begin to suspect the boy’s employer at the bowling alley, as he beats his wife and the boy probably tried to save her as he was a dying “superhero.” They go to confront him and find him getting ready to run along with the murder weapon at the bowling alley.
