It should still have a finger print from the killer. Booth gets the finger prints from both wives. He puts both wives in his office. He introduces them and tells them they are both married to the same man. It doesn’t go well. Booth gets a call that the print from the glove does not match either wife. Rebecca shows up at Booth’s office. Bones asks Rebecca why she wouldn’t marry him. She said no simply because she didn’t want to get married out of need. Bones tell her that Booth worries that he would have made a bad father and that’s why she said no. Rebecca is clearly upset by this. They scrutinize the bathtub in the lab.

Cam comes in with a spare tooth, or a crown. It’s a man’s crown. Bones thinks about Pete and is root canal. Booth lays out the story for Pete.
