The remains of a young female found in a tree log are heavily consumed over four months, yet identified as Mallory Briggs, one of Dr. Richard Burke's legal medicinal marijuana shop's clerks, a former art student. The murder weapons must be extraordinarily complex, hence hard to identify. Booth's team must consider several possible motives, including a stalking-suspected security guard's unrequited love and several angles to link her with illegal drug trade. Wendell finds returning to work a relief from physically ruinous cancer therapy, but candor about his legal use of medicinal marijuana disqualifies him as federal employee.
