Bones: The Man in the Fallout Shelter
When construction workers find human remains in a 1950s fallout shelter, the skeleton is brought to the Jeffersonian for identification. As Zack cuts into the bone, deadly spores are released leading to the quarantine of the lab over Christmas. While everyone else tries to keep the holiday spirit up, Brennan focuses solely on solving the mystery of the man in the fallout shelter. As she works to bring closure to the unidentified man's family, being quarantined in the lab acts as a catalyst in bringing the entire team closer together.

Zack: Christmas is going home to Michigan and heading out into the woods with your brothers to cut down a 12 foot Christmas tree and you all decorate it together - brothers, sisters, nieces, and nephews. Forty people who all love you and are happy to see you. That, my friend, is the true meaning of Christmas.
Angela: I need you. Friends don't let friends photocopy their butts at Christmas parties.
