The murder of an escape artist is no illusion.

(A vat of Scotch is involved.)

In reality, Lenny, Sr. wanted Klarissa to have the trick; he was teaching her everything.

She and her roommates boyfriend, Victor, were having an affair.

Anyone can delete a few incriminating texts; reactions to fungus are harder to plan for.

Victor claims that their relationship was casual; it was just for the sex.

Jealousy didnt get the best of her.

I invested my life in this catering business, she says.

Im not just going to throw it away because Vic cant keep it in his pants.

Im glad to know that the universe ofBonesis still populated by women like her.

It hasnt been long since Cam picked her career over Arastoo.

What if she never finds another relationship like that?

Sebastian Kohl is back.

Hes been mentoring Angela on her photography and spending a lot of time around the lab.

After some thought, Cam gives him a call.

NEXT: Not tricks, Brennan.

Her coworkers which is to say: Hodgins and Clark seem more interested in magic.

But shes just too observant to be fooled by sleight of hand.

Klarissa was taking a new job, and Lenny, Sr. couldnt handle it.

That night, Booth calls out Brennan for her little deception.

Even he knew the luminescence was a lie: You tricked him.

Just say it, you little devil.

You tricked the magician.

Of course she did.

Love, on this show, is still a kind of magic.

Heres hoping we stick with that kind of love for a nice, long while.
