Ep 14. Man in the Mansion

In season 2 episode 14 of Bones, titled "Man in the Mansion," Dr. Temperance Brennan and FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth investigate the murder of a wealthy man in his mansion.

The episode begins with Dr. Brennan and her team of squints examining the remains of the victim, who had been shot and then set on fire. The team is having difficulty identifying the victim since his face is unrecognizable, but they do find a bullet lodged in the remains.

Meanwhile, Booth is busy questioning the victim's wife, Marlene, who is acting suspiciously. She claims to have been out of town for a few days and didn't know her husband had been murdered until the police arrived at her doorstep. Booth is skeptical of her story, but he doesn't have any concrete evidence to confront her with.

As Brennan delves deeper into the victim's past, she discovers that he had a history of infidelity and had recently been involved with a woman named Caroline, who is also a suspect in the murder.
