*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

A dead student is found in a college sports team's mascot costume (hence that title, although it is not a female as the title might suggest). Just as importantly, we see what I think will probably be the final appearance of Booth's brother, who has decided to move on with his life after his court martial. Back at the ranch, we realize that the episode is a tribute to ANIMAL HOUSE, including B&B showing up at a toga party for the dead student. When the frat boys shuck their sheets so Brennan can test them for evidence, she actually appears momentarily embarrassed. The ending is cute, involving Brennan wanting to do something naughty for the first time in her life. In the commission of the naughty act, which I will not reveal here, she acts like a little girl. And she is absolutely adorable.
