At the lab with both bodies out for examination, Zack explains that one of the bodies has multiple broken bones while the other body has none. Also with the amount of blood found in the vat, he thinks that the boy with the injuries bled to death, while the other boy would have later suffocated. He also adds that they were twins.

In the desert outside Las Vegas Brennan and Booth are called in to examine the supposed body of Mason Roberts a federal prosecutor that went missing in 2001. They received the tip from a deathbed prostitute that overheard a Las Vegas mobster. At first glance Brennan confirms that the remains are that of a male, beaten with a cylindrical object. Just before they wrap up the crime scene, Brennan spots a vulture. Vultures circle newly dead remains and this body’s been here for years. She walks towards the area the vulture is circling and finds a fresh dead body. It’s a young female with similar cylindrical injuries to the other remains. Brennan and Booth conclude that the same person must have ditched both bodies.

Brennan has dental records to confirm that the first body they found was Mason Roberts and he was beaten to death with a baseball bat. Booth goes over files on the local mob bosses, including “Sweet Pete” Arno, gaming exec of the Tangiers Casino. Continuing her analysis of the second body, Brennan confirms similar bat injuries, but also softer blows to the head and body most likely stemming from spousal abuse. Brennan also finds hearing aids in her ears, which could have been a result of too many hits to the head. Angela chimes in via online connection with the name Wilhemina Morgan to match the serial number on the hearing aides. An FBI aide on site Wilhemina’s file off his mobile database and reads that she goes by Billie, she’s 26, and was reported missing two weeks ago by her husband.

Booth and Brennan question Billie’s husband Don Morgan whom has a suspicious cast on his thumb that he swears is from a latter fall. He tells them that he thought Billie left him because he got laid off. He goes onto say that Billie wanted to help get money by stripping and he fought her on that, but then he gave in and borrowed 8 grand from a loan shark, Louis Mackey, to get her breast implants. Don didn’t pay up and Mackey broke his thumb. They head off to the casinos to find Mackey.

At the D.C. Municipal Water Treatment Plant, Brennan and Booth arrive to find the remains of a 10 year-old girl in the filtration system.

With the remains laid out at the lab, the squints assess the skeleton. Brennan notes bands of discoloration on the ribs and notices that the teeth aren’t discolored at all, which is odd. Booth has the FBI looking for registered pedophiles in the area and Cam is testing hair samples for DNA to ID the girl, but it’s difficult because the victim’s hair has been bleached. Hodgins finds heavy traces of make-up and Brennan discovers that the victim’s teeth were mostly veneers. They suspect a murderer that alters the appearance of their victims and then kills them, but when Angela runs her new stats through the computer it matches the composite to the infamous little beauty queen, Brianna Swanson, who went missing six months prior from a beauty pageant.

In Booth’s office, he and Brennan consol Mrs. Swanson over her loss and question her about the day she went missing. She says she wasn’t near Brianna when she disappeared.

Cam chimes in with blunt trauma to the back of the skull as cause of death and Zack adds that she was buried face down. Hodgins arrives and from his work with the bugs found with the body, he concludes that she was buried seven to ten years prior. Brennan suggests that the placement of the victim’s wrist and ankles tells that she was bound. Zack finds wear on the victim’s rotator cuff and lumbar vertebrae, which means she was a golfer. To Hodgins’ delight, Angela joins the crew with the composite she was able to mock up and Booth arrives asking if they’ve ID’d the victim. Hodgins explains to Booth that they found flecks of black paint in the wound and the shape of the damage suggests the use of a tire iron. Booth says what everyone else is thinking.
