When the remains of a high-stakes gambler are found in an individual shredder, Booth risks relapsing into his gambling addiction as he and Brennan delve into the world of underground poker.
When mangled remains are found in an industrial shredder, the Jeffersonian team quickly determine that the victim was a white male in his 30s who died within the last 24 hours - before being shredded. Whoever dumped him picked the lock, which rules out employees at the site.
The victim is IDed as Jeff Dover, who worked as a mover - but had a second life as a high-stakes gambler. Suspects include one of the victim's co-workers who he got into a fight with the night before over a loan for his gambling, as well as all the players in an underground poker game he was involved with in which he won $28,000.
Booth risks relapsing into his gambling addiction as he and Brennan delve into the world of underground poker, and he enlists the help of his old bookie to get him into the game.
Meanwhile, Hodgins invents a new product related to the lab, and Brennan and Booth find out some exciting news.
