Ripley (the dog) dies because he was forced by his owner to kill someone after a dog fight
He is a really nice dog but they put him to sleep because of the law, we don’t see anything, Booth announces it
Brennan wanted to adopt him but sadly heard about it only after he died

The whole episode is about illegal dog fights to death so some details are pretty graphic
Most of the dogs are really nice and wouldn’t be violent if their owners didn’t force them

All kinds of bugs actually. A major point of many episodes is when they identify how long someone has been dead for by seeing what stage of life the bugs on it are in.

Victim of the week is revealed as a 9/11 victim who rescued other victims from the pentagon building and later died as a result of injuries.
Major characters talk about their experiences on 9/11. Some talk about having lost family in the attacks and some talk about identifying bodies in the aftermath

There is a foreign scientist involved in this ep's investigation and it is unclear what their sex is as they are very androgynous. Angela and Hodgins spend much of the episode arguing whether "it" is a he or a she. Character is confirmed to have a phallus as Angela claims she felt it move when she hugged the character. It's a very uncomfortable "comedic" subplot
