Two men search for a rare and expensive wood in the forest that they plan to harvest. They see a skull on the limbs of a tree then scream.

The next day, Bones is upset to learn that her father, Max, has been hired to work at the Jeffersonian as a tour guide. Bones finds her father as he teaches a group of kids about light refraction. Later, Booth and Bones investigate the remains found on the tree. An agent from the Department of Fish and Wildlife tells the team that they need to move in order to protect rare birds. Bones smells the skull and notices that it has been recently burned.

The remains are brought to the lab. Booth is surprised to find that Max works at the lab. Bones finds that the victim has a compression fracture caused by trauma that he received before dying. The DNA of the remains matches a Marine named Calvin Warren. They read that he had been discharged three years ago.

Hodgins, Camille, and Wendell find that Calvin's remains were burned by a heat hotter than a wood fire, but cooler than what a crematorium would produce.

At lunch, Max tells Sweets that Bones does not want him to work in the Jeffersonian. Bones says that she doesn't want him there because he is a criminal. Sweets thinks that Bones has abandonment issues.

Camille meets with Angela and tells her that Calvin was found with oxycotin. Angela looks at his Myspace page and says that he doesn't look like a drug dealer. Angela examines a photo on his webpage and finds Calvin's address.

Booth and Bones go to his apartment to search through his belongings. They find a passport and several stacks of foreign currency. They assume that he was a world traveler. They also discover a RF card that can be used to open electronic doors. They determine that it opens a gate at a private school, Woodbury.

Booth goes to the school and meets an administrator named Donnegan. Donnegan says that Woodbury is an elite school. Booth asks Donnegan if he knows Calvin Warren. Donnegan does not recognize his name. Donnegan looks Calvin up in the school database and finds that he is the nanny for the president of the parents association.

Booth and Bones meet with the the mother of the children that Calvin was a nanny for, Elizabeth King. She says that her husband is a defense contractor who's life is always in danger. She says that Calvin was hired as a nanny/bodyguard. Booth and Brennan then talk to the King kids, Royce and Alexa. Royce insults Booth in Chinese, and Booth becomes threatening to the kid. Royce says that he got hurt while playing lacrosse and Calvin brought him to be treated by Doctor Ezralow. While on their way back to the Jeffersonian, Booth and Brennan talk about the price of attending Woodbury. Booth says that he doesn't think that he is able to mentally challenge his son, Parker, enough.
