Booth: Run her through the database, get an ID.
Cam : Why don't you just ask him?
Booth: Well, because the last time Bones saw Epps, it got violent.
Cam: You'll be there to protect her.
Booth: She's not the one who needs protecting. Bones broke his wrist.
Brennan: [Flashback to when Bones broke Epps's wrist.] He touched me with his creepy serial killer hands.
Cam: Better not take Dr. Brennan.

Brennan: Are you on some kind of medication?
Booth: Bones.
Caroline Epps: Dr. Brennan, I'm not one of those crazy women who falls in love with death row killers.
Brennan: Obviously, that's exactly what you are.
