I hope this is important, I'm trying to find cause of death... [Smells the fried catfish.] What's that smell?
[As Angela prepares a table, Hodgins turns to show Finn.]
It... is Catfish, "Opie".
Oh. That wasn't neccessary, "Thurston".
But it was. [Points to the chair waiting] Come here, sit down.
[Finn sits down to the fried Catfish. Hodgins' hand moves to his pocket.]
And this... [Pulls a bottle of the hot sauce out of his pocket] This is the hot sauce.
Taste it, you are gonna love it.
[Finn reluctantly obliges]
This is... [drinks some of the sauce] Oh, my god! How did you do that?
Aframomum melegueta; it's more commonly as "Guinea grain". It's native to swampy habitats along the West African Coast. I have no idea how your Granny got a hold of it, but...
She used to trade with a Herbalist in the woods...Damnit...If you hadn't brought my Granny back from the dead! [starts laughing]
Hey, I told you I'd find it, right?
And you were right. The secret ingredient was Love. That's the only explanation for Hodgins spending so much time, and effort to do this.
Eat. Go, eat.
[Finn pours the hot sauce on the catfish and starts eating]
Hey, we shouldn't keep this stuff a secret, I mean the world would love this.
Aaaa. Very true, very true.
You should slow down a little bit, Finn. You don't wanna get a bone stuck down your throat.
[Holds up a catfish bone] Not from a baby Catfish.
[Bends the catfish bone to emphasize that it is flexible. As he looks at it, he has an epiphany on the victim's cause of death.]
That's it!
What?
Cause of death.
[Finn gets up, hovering between going and eating his catfish. He grabs the bottle of hot sauce before he leaves. Angela and Hodgins look bemused.]
