When Brennan becomes fascinated with basketball and the underlying concepts behind Phil Jackson's philosophy of "teamwork," she calls upon five of her best "squinterns" to complete the task of identifying remains that have been deemed unidentifiable. During their investigation, the squints uncover the identity of a man who died as a result of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, which propels the team to determine if he was a perpetrator or a victim

As I'm not American I didn't relate to the 9/11 trauma as any of the characters did so the episode was at best boring for me. Also, the subject is touchy, and I don't think they handled it well at all.
Ugh. Several occasions of at best sexual harrassment against men (as if that makes it any better...), strong glorification of the USA combined with zomg damnation of everything around 9/11 and how horrible and the worst thing ever it was and nothing compares.
In the end, the thick layer of constant "and how did you get traumatised on that day?" from every castmember did it for me.
Did not finish watching this one, and won't.
Zware, maar prachtige aflevering!
