The episode starts out with lots of office-y people on an elevator, talking office-y things when one person, followed by the rest start smelling something bad. Then the elevator lurches and down falls part of a woman's lower leg including high heel pump.
Bones and Booth are talking with Sweets with Booth talking about wanting his recently deceased coworker's chair when they get the call for the elevator. Cam and Bones and Booth examine the crime scene where the victim is in pieces and smears of flesh in the elevator shaft. Cam hypothesizes that she was dead before she was jammed down the shaft. Booth notices a joint at the roof opening to the elevator shaft.
Bones has a new assistant (the guy from Dodgeball who was in love with the unibrow girl on the Cobras) who has to sort through over 1000 bone fragments. Cam has Hodgins take a bow recovered from various parts found at the scene to Angela. They have an awkward exchange where they agree to be professional. The new assistant determines that the vic fell from the top floor or the machine shop above it.
Bones and Booth go back to the office. Patty, the likely candidate for the victim, was seen on Friday, but hasn't been into work since. A manager directs them to Ted who the manager knows has smoked a little marijuana. Ted denies this, but then they let him know DNA can be lifted from the cigarette paper on the joint they found and he admits he does smoke a little weed because he's an artist, man. Booth brings him for interrogation. Ted denies killing Patty.
Angela tells Bones about the tension between her and Hodgins. Bones says she is fond of both of them, but since Angela is her best friend she could fire Hodgins. Angela says no she doesn't want that and Bones says thanks she would have disliked doing that. Bones is happy to have helped.
Hodgins tells the new assistant(very emo) that the victim's sweater has dust on back and front and stains on sweater. FBI techs find corresponding stains from copy room. They also discover an angry email to Patty from Dave Farfield. The manager admits that the guy was aware of the fact he was fired because of Patty.
Dave is brought in for interrogation. Dave is ticked because "keying a car is a federal offense?" He admits he keyed her car, but didn't know she was killed. Dave says Patty is a bitch and that many of her coworkers did not like her.
New Assistant has an almost complete reconstruction of the crushed and crumbled skeleton, but thinks he sucks because he's missing a few pieces and hasn't discovered cause of death.
Angela asks Sweets for advice on dealing with Hodgins. Sweets urges her to dig deeper into why the realatioship started and why it ended. Sweets tries to set her up with twice daily therapy visits, but Angela turns him down and thanks him for the help.
Hodgins finds another stain on the skirt. While he starts to ask Cam about Angela, she discovers the stain is semen. She also found a semen stain on the carpet. Booth discovers that Patty ordered food Friday night on her boss' credit card . Booth and Bones go to the office to ask the boss for his whereabouts and a DNA sample.
Boss-man says Patty was a good employee but nothing else. The credit card charges are very provactive. Boss says Patty was blackmailing him to use the card for personal things to cover up with his overordering of supplies and reselling on-line.
New assistant determines she was pushed from the 16th floor and not disarticulated prior to fall. Copy floor and skirt semen match, but not to the boss Anglea tries to clear everything up and ease tension with Hodgins; both are smiling at end.
Booth is still in pursuit of his office chair. Theorizes it may have taken two people to hold elevator open. New assistant caqn find no cause of death, but an inrregualrity on a bone in a skull. Bones looks closer and they find she was killed by a staple in the temporal bone that aggravated an already present aneurysm. Hodgins discovers that the stain is because of a Blue Hawaiian (served at Paradise Isle where Dave had been drinking his troubles away with former coworker Chip).
They bring in Chip for interrogation. Chip admits to sleeping with Patty. Chip hit Patty in the head with a stapler and she dropped. He says he panicked and dragged her up and threw her down the shaft. Booth challenged his ability to open the elevator. The receptionist admits to a realationship with Chip and Patty threatened to turn them in and the distraught receptionist admits to killing and disposing of Patty.
Booth gets his chair and Bones says she put in a good word with HR for him to get the chair. Booth discovers the chair is not as great as he thought, but is determined to make the best of it.
