This is your run of the mill, save the condemned man at the last minute thing. The problem here is that the squints have so much power. It's also that they are working without the sanction of the condemned man, who has given up. A person on death row would be getting all kinds of press and attention. I also don't understand any of the evidence that Bones came up with that led to a stay. Then we have Hodgins and his supernatural ability to come up with a symbol from the Masons and Booth's ability to find some artifacts leading to a result of innocence. We have the reappearance of that guy from "Monk" who was in a previous episode. Think about it.
