A Night at the Bones Museum

A Night at the Bones Museum is the fifth episode of the fifth season of Bones
== Synopsis ==
Brennan and Booth are called to investigate what appears to be charred human remains on an electrical fence. The mysterious corpse is later determined to be a mummified Egyptian royal on loan to the Jeffersonian. The anthropological mystery has Brennan in a tizzy, and when the Jeffersonian curator prepping the mummy for exhibition is murdered, the team suspects foul play. Brennan's investigation of the curator sheds new light on the life of the Egyptian royal, turning their case into one of historic proportions. Meanwhile, Brennan goes on a date with Booth's supervisor, Brennan's intern and Sweets' girlfriend Daisy Wick returns to the Jeffersonian.
== Summary ==
Andrew Hacker arrives to drop off paperwork and wants to see Bones. Bones then tells Booth that she knows that Hacker wants to have sex with her.
Cam says that the body was put there by environmentalists and Sweets asks Bones if Daisy can be her intern again. He has been giving her exercises to calm herself and be less annoying to them. She gives her a 24-hour probational period.
The body smells like frankincense and myrrh and appears to be an ancient mummy, but there is fresh blood on the leg.
Back at the lab, Angela reports that the environmentalist group found the mummy in a dumpster and used it to send a message to the power company. Hodgins finds a drying agent on the mummy and expects it to be a pharaoh or prince. They look inside the chest, where damage was found, to see if there is something unnatural there.
Booth tries to call around to see if anyone knows about a missing mummy. Bones and Daisy examine the remains and Bones gives the head to Angela to restructure. Daisy determines that he's from the 18th Dynasty, because of his flat forehead. Brennan discovers that the mummy was Anok - The Boy with the Bleeding Heart. She tells Anok's story to the rest of the team and Daisy says he was supposed to have an exhibit at the Jeffersonian.
Bones and Booth go to the curator's office to find her dead with a bloody eye inside the sarcophagus. They find that her blood matches the blood on the mummy and that she was stabbed.
Bones and Booth meet with the exhibit administrator Dr. Turnbull, who mediated between the Jeffersonian and the Egypt government. They find out that Dr. Wheaton, who was supposed to get the funds for the exhibit, was angry that the curator, Dr. Kaswell, got them instead.
Hodgins tells the team he found traces of urine on the instrument that was used to kill Dr. Kaswell. The legend of a red-headed boy peeing on molten metal to quench its thirst came from Ancient Rome, which was where the murder weapon was made.
Booth and Bones meet with Wheaton and he tells them he yelled at Kaswell about the funding. Bones notices that there is a Roman artifact missing from Wheaton's office, a steel scalprum matching the description of the murder weapon. He explains he was in the lab at the time of the murder.
The team finds that the item in the chest of the mummy was painted. Azita Jabbari from Egypt comes in to demand the Jeffersonian to return the mummy to be sent back to Cairo. She tells them that Kaswell had ordered CAT scans through her assistant, but he had never seen them.
Andrew (Booth's boss) and Bones go on a date but she is called back to the office, so they plan another date for later.
Angela has discovered that the item inside the chest had painted hieroglyphs and if they decipher them they might be able to find what was inside. Cam dissects Kaswell's brain.
The team figures out that a giant ruby was put inside Anok's chest. Azita Jabbari translates the message, discovering it was from his mother, saying "My heart bleeds for my guiltless son", implying that she believed Anok didn't kill his brother, Meti. Bones wants to find out what really happened, using Meti's remains located in the Natural History Museum in New York, and Azita Jabari offers to assist.
Andrew talks to Booth about Bones dating him. Booth finds out that they had talked about him over their date.
Hodgins discovers Wheaton's finger prints on the mummy. Wheaton tells them that he saw the CAT scans, but he made up with Kaswell before she died. Kaswell had given the CAT scans to Turnbull, pointing out that they should've been turned over to the team along with her notes. They find Turnbull's car and smell frankincense and myrrh. Turnbull admits he had sneaked in to steal the ruby and when Kaswell got in the way, he killed her.
Sweets apologizes to Daisy for how he treated her and they make love.
Bones and Booth go to the Egyptian exhibit. Bones tells Booth that she discovered that Meti suffered from brittle bone disease; meaning he actually fell off of his horse and died from the fall before he was trampled by Anok's horse, proving his brother didn't kill him as his mother stated. Booth was impressed that she was able to change history, a rare feat in his eyes. She tells Booth that she invited him instead of his boss, because she feels like he was a part of this discovery and deserved to be there with her. She is nervous about speaking. She and Booth compliment each other, and at one point are standing so close to each other, it almost seems like they're about to kiss, but then the team comes in and interrupts their intimate conversation.
