Bones: The Mastodon in the Room (2010)
Another contrived bit of garbage in what is normally a great show.
They had to call back Booth from a deployment, something that doesn't happen. At the end of the last season he said he had to sneak off base to see Brennan off at the airport but now he can just end his enlistment partway through a deployment.
Cam flies off the handle at Brennan despite Brennan leaving the anthropological dig of a lifetime to save Cam's job. Cam blames her for everything falling apart despite the fact that Cam is the boss and Brennan did not exactly leave on a whim.
That said, Brennan and Daisy seem to be the only people on the anthropology team so maybe it was a an elaborate hoax to leave the Jeffersonian.
Speaking of the Jeffersonian it seems to have been written out of the show too. The "federal coroner" is stationed in a dank morgue. This makes me wonder what job they are even saving for Cam.
Bones: The Boy with the Answer (2010)
A continuation of the worst storyline in an otherwise solid show.
I would have to transcribe the entire episode to point out the flaws. One off the top of my head is that the defendant attacks the expert witnesses on the basis of their qualifications, or mental health. She could have pointed out that two of them had active warrants recently but instead went with something that could have been easily reaponded to. Speaking of things that could be responded to, the prosecution decided not to respond to many of these things despite redirect examination being a regular aspect of court proceedings.
The evidence being thrown out was contrived. Evidence collected with a bad warrant acted upon in good faith, i.e. Assuming the warrant is legtimate, is still considered valid evidence. Thus the entire call to action for the episode is deeply flawed.
