Before joining the Jeffersonian team, in season two, she was a coroner in New York City. She ended up receiving the head spot above Brennan, when she was away, which caused their relationship to start off rocky. Saroyan often felt as if Brennan was constantly testing her when she would say or do something. When Brennan finally approved of Saroyan being in charge their relationship improved tremendously. Saroyan always had made it clear that she didn’t particularly want children, but that all changed when in season four a man she used to date was murdered and his child that she used to play mother to was then alone. Even though she didn’t want children she adopted Michelle after explaining why she had left her father in the first place. Even though Saroyan didn’t exactly directly teach Brennan anything I believe that Brennan learned that it was okay to admit that you’re wrong every once in a while. Also, like Hodgins, she taught Brennan that intuitive leaps are okay to

The Crucible was the turning point in literature and in history. It showed how people were convicted with only a minute amount of evidence. The only thing that would have caused a person to be convicted was if people went into hysterics. However, for someone to be accused of using witchcraft, someone else has to say he or she had seen them practicing it or they were the only person who could see it. The trials caused some of the characters to learn new attributes about themselves. Elizabeth Proctor is more reserved. John Proctor, on the other hand, is more prideful; whereas, Reverend Hale is more confident. These three characters go through their own personal journeys and uncover the person within them beneath the surface, which in turn broadcasts their true identity to the audience.
