As the team delves deeper into the two cases, they realize that they may be connected and must race against the clock to catch the culprits before they strike again.
The episode begins with the discovery of a young woman's skeletal remains in a sealed-off underground tunnel. Dr. Jordan Cavanaugh and her team are called in to investigate and quickly discover that the victim's bones are extremely fragile, indicating severe osteogenesis imperfecta. Further examination of the remains reveals that the victim was killed by a blow to the head, but the team is unable to find any other clues that may lead to her killer.
Meanwhile, Detective Woody Hoyt and Bug are working on a case involving the death of a woman who had undergone plastic surgery to change her appearance. The woman's body was found in her hotel room, and while it appeared that she had died of a drug overdose, Woody is convinced that there is more to the case than meets the eye.
As the investigation into the skeletal remains continues, the team discovers a cell phone among the bones. The phone contains a video that shows the victim in an elevator with a man who follows her to her apartment. The man disguised in a hoodie and a surgical mask appears to have killed her, before leaving the apartment with a bag containing her belongings. The video leads the team to a suspect, a drug dealer known for his violent tendencies and plastic surgery addiction.
As Woody and Bug delve deeper into the plastic surgery case, they discover that the victim was not who she appeared to be. In fact, she had assumed a new identity and had undergone several plastic surgeries to change her appearance. They realize that the victim's death was not an accident, but rather a calculated attempt to erase her past and protect her new identity. As they try to uncover the truth, they realize that the two cases are connected and that they must race against the clock to catch the culprits before they strike again.
As the episode reaches its climax, the team is able to identify the suspects in both cases and bring them to justice. The truth about the identity of both victims is finally revealed, and the team is able to give their families some much-needed closure.
Overall, "Skin and Bone" is an intriguing episode of Crossing Jordan that keeps the audience on the edge of their seats from start to finish. The two cases are skillfully intertwined, and the shocking revelations that come to light in the course of the investigation make for a suspenseful and satisfying viewing experience.
