S1·E14 The Man on the Fairway

Episode recap

In this episode of the television series Bones, Dr. Temperance Brennan and Zach investigate a small jet crash. The jet had been carrying some Chinese diplomats and a woman. While at the crash site, Brennan discovers some bone fragments. Upon examination, it is determined that these fragments do not belong to any of the passengers from the jet. Instead, the remains might belong to a man who has been missing for five years.

Although official orders dictate that Brennan and her colleagues should work only on the diplomats involved in the crash, the team decides to go rogue. Together, they attempt to discover the true identity of the extra bones found at the site. The series centers around a team from an institute called the Jeffersonian, which assists in forensics and criminal investigations.
