Goofs
Just before the 30 minute mark, Sweets proposes a bet with Booth, who accepts. The series has established that Booth is a recovering gambling addict multiple times. Booth's chip is even seen in this episode. As his psychologist, Sweets would never bet with a recovering gambling addict.

Quotes
Dr. Camille 'Cam' Saroyan: Based on the lack of hemorrhagic tissue, this victim was already dead when cut in half.
Vincent Nigel-Murray: He's in the water, drowning maybe, or- or is pushed from a boat. When he reaches for the boat, his fingers are smashed, he drowns, and then is cut in half later in some... maritime mishap.
Dr. Camille 'Cam' Saroyan: "He"?
Vincent Nigel-Murray: Mm-hmm. Triangular pubis, no evidence of a ventral arc. The pelvic bone speaks. It says "I be male."
Dr. Camille 'Cam' Saroyan: The pelvic bone can say whatever it wants to say. This part here says female.
Vincent Nigel-Murray: What part's that?
Dr. Camille 'Cam' Saroyan: It's called a vagina.

The Two Pieces in the Bay

Everyone at the Jeffersonian needs to leave Mr. Nigel-Murray ALONE. He's adorable and the only good thing about this episode. Why do TV characters always hate the guy who's full of fun facts? Fun facts are awesome. People love fun facts.

I do not acknowledge the scene where he weirdly hits on Angela. So forced and unnecessary. But I really feel like Cam is hitting on him in his last scene, and honestly, I ship it.

Anyway, good for him for knowing his own worth and quitting at the end. Love that for him. (Btw, Jeffersonian people, if one intern left because you were all too distracted by your drama and he wanted to focus on work, and another one left because you were too focused and didn't appreciate his minor distractions, maybe YOU ARE THE PROBLEM.) Obviously the rest of this episode is garbage, but you can't expect much better from TV made in 2008. All I'll say is that if you find yourself trying to explain trans people to someone like Booth by drawing distinctions between "transgender" and "transsexual" and giving detailed explanations of gender reassignment surgery...you're doing it wrong.
