Along the way, the cases involve secret extremist groups, sexual fetishism and burned bodies. Brennan brings the science of the Jeffersonian Institute, Booth brings his gut instinct and interrogation techniques, and the two clash over faith and reason. The tension between them remains front and center in every episode. Around them, Cam, Hodgins, Angela and Zack examine the remains and piece together the clues.
