Description

We go conspiracy in this weeks episode! But first recap Bones Season 5 Episode 6 "The Tough Man in the Tender Chicken". From there we dive into the story of the Karen Silkwood, the Kerr-McGee whistleblower. During her time at Kerr-McGee, Karen secretly collected documents to confirm her suspicions that Kerr-McGee was knowingly putting workers at risk of contamination of radioactive plutonium. She was on her to give a reporter for the New York Times all the files collected, when she tragically died in a one car accident. But was it just an accident? Had Karen stumbled upon something bigger in her time "undercover"? Was the FBI in on it? How far up did it go?
