Popular teacher Charlie McCord's corpse was found dangling from a mountain and eaten by a hawk, but his skull was smashed and he was poisoned. Booth is as eager as Sweets to prove that the live psychologist is more helpful than FBI-sponsored 'forensic criminology analysis' program VAL. Dr. Oliver Wells's first tour on the team demonstrates his intellect at least matches Bones's, yet is socially excluded by the other Jeffersonians for his typical insensitive type of behavior. Cancer-terminal McCord's bucket-list exploits inspire others, even forensic nerds, but his 'wisedom videos' recorded on a blog by school buddy Martin Proctor earn a fortune, now for his adulterous widow Linda. Booth encourages Brennan to plan their wedding in style, yet theirs.
