“The Cowboy in the Contest” · Season 11, Episode 9

In this episode: Seeley Booth (5), Temperance Brennan (4), Aubrey (2), Jack Hodgins (1), Angela Montenegro (1), Cam (1)

Oh, this is where the victim was before he died-- the Frontier Games. It's a weekend-long, role-playing, Old-West-style shooting competition.

[...]

The next Frontier Games will be taking place this weekend.

[sighs] Why do I have a feeling Booth already knows this?

[Aubrey, Brennan and Booth are at the diner]

Undercover? Seriously?

Well, the likely suspects are the participants. [hands Brennan some notes] Look.

85% of the competitors are repeat guests from all over the Eastern Seaboard.

Which is exactly why we have to go undercover. Because if we don't, we're gonna have to coordinate branches in seven different states, we're never gonna find the suspects––

Oh. You just want to dress up and play cowboy for the weekend.

Yeah, well, if I can do that and solve a crime, why, who wouldn't want to do that?

[after Booth intentionally messes up in the shooting competition] You're not doing very well, Booth. You didn't even make the board.

I'm not even trying.

I feel so foolish.

Why do you feel so foolish?

All of this, all of it! Ah. It's so irrational. I mean, how could I think that flirting with another man and besting you at a game of skill would have a positive effect on our relationship?

Wait a second. First of all, if you think I'm worried about you running off with some doughy guy who's dressed in some U.S. Marshal's outfit that's way too tight, you're wrong. Secondly, besting me? I'm a trained sniper. I could win this competition blindfolded. The only reason I'm not doing it is 'cause I don't want to raise any eyebrows.

[Aubrey turns up at the bar while a fight is going on.]

Aubrey, what are you doing here??

Isn't it obvious? I'm your posse!

[shows his FBI credentials] There's a new sheriff in town, and his name is Special Agent Seeley Booth. And you're under arrest for the murder of Stanley Belridge.

And I'm not Wanda. I'm Dr. Temperance Brennan. I'm also the mother of his children. [sees Glen and Franny's crestfallen look] That's right. Sorry.

[to Angela] I love us. So much. The three of us. We're like a tight little cocoon of love.
