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 A of the fourth disc.

“The Man in the Morgue” - Bones is in New Orleans helping identify bodies that died in Hurricane Katrina or unearthed from graves. Suddenly it cuts to a scene of Bones being bloody in a bathroom and receiving a call about it being Thursday, but she cannot recollect Wednesday ever happening. Booth arrives shortly after. Back at the lab there are x-rays of a murdered John Doe. Bones learns she had dinner with an orderly that practices voodoo the night (Tuesday) she got injured. They find a medical examiner Bones had been working with dead in his house and she remembers that she was there that night and got away hence her injuries. The local detective thinks Bones did it and Booth helps hide the fact that Bones was even at the scene by picking up her earring that she finds. The John Doe remains and the related file have disappeared. The detective comes to arrest Bones and Booth tries to prevent it, but she willingly allows the detective to arrest her. John Doe is found along with a new dead body that leads them to suspect the voodoo shop owner’s daughter. When they go there they find her on a spike in the wall. Bones suggests that the girl was pushed on the spike and they then suspect her father.

“The Graft in the Girl” - Bones, Booth, and Angela to meet with the head of the FBI at the hospital with his teenage daughter that has a cancer rare for her age and lack of abestos exposure. Bones is curious and finds that the bone graft put in her after a snowboarding accident that is older than the supposed 25 year old donor and might be the source of the cancer. A sample of the bone is taken and proves to be the source of the cancer that is killing the girl. Bones and Booth find out that the graft came from a company that supposedly went out of business years before. They also find another woman that got a graft from the same person and already died from the cancer. Booth is able to make it a legitimate FBI case when they find a second body in Virginia making it a multiple murder case crossing “state” lines (first death was in D.C.). They find some of the people that received grafts from the same person and catch in time for some, although not all. Booth and Bones go to West Virginia to find out who the grafts came from. In the end they track down the scam of the donor company. Angela bonds with the dying girl, who is also an artist, and makes the girl’s dream of seeing the Louvre come true through a virtual reality machine.
