Booth and Brennan have it handled.
Aside from the occasional FBI cover-up, the world Booth and Brennan live in is a little bit kinder.
Science saves the day.

Patriotism is a virtue.
Women run a government lab.
Call it one of Brennans experiments.
From the start of her investigation into the death of Virginia Senator Rick OMalley, Brennan is restricted.
Winters was a doctor, so shes interested in the forensic perspective.
I just want you to be you, he says.
You know, you your usual, wonderful but very direct self.
Theres a reason this man didnt go into politics.
Brennan shouldnt need anyones permission to be herself.
Brennan goes on the offensive with Winters, who denies the affair.
Winters persuaded him to vote against his conscience for the good of the party.
Evidence suggests that the killer tried to poison OMalley, which, statistically, points to a female suspect.
NEXT:Battlestar Galacticaand chill
The FBI narrows the field down to three suspects.
Studying the wounds on OMalleys bones, Brennan defies her own statistics and goes with gut instinct.
OMalley was beaten with a petrified coal statue shaped like the outline of Virginia.
The statue would have cut the killers palm, leaving behind a blue mark in the skin.
Lynettes and Winters hands are clean, but OMalleys chief of staff shoves his fists in his pockets.
He also figured that maybe once she was done grieving, they could be together.
Maybe if everyone followed political logic, they could be.
But in the world of this show, relationships take work.
Thats politics talking, Caroline.
Aubrey and Jessica move past it, and sue me, but Im kind of rooting for them.
(Whats the threshold?
A number of my choosing.)
