Payton Perotta is a Special Agent with the FBI. She made three consecutive appearances in Season 4, starting with "Fire in the Ice". She is portrayed by Marisa Coughlan.
She serves as a temporary replacement for Booth in "The Fire in the Ice" when Booth is the prime suspect in the murder of the victim (with whom Booth had fought previously after the victim played roughly in a hockey game). While she is interrogating Booth, the two flirt, and Agent Perotta appears to have a crush on him from then on (even asking Brennan if Booth "twinkles his eyes at everyone," since he did so with her). However, she never really connects with the squints- to the extent that Jack Hodgins and Wendell Bray automatically correct her description of them as 'her people' to inform her that they are Booth's people- and at the end of the episode, it is implied when Booth is ice skating with Brennan that he is past the attraction.
In her second appearance in "The Hero in the Hold," she appears at a few of the crime scenes; however, due to the fact that the team, while working to find Booth (who was kidnapped by the Grave Digger), bends some FBI protocol to do so, Perotta is somewhat pitted against the squints.
Perotta shows an almost instant attraction to Booth when interrogating him in "The Fire in the Ice." Booth appears to be a bit more experienced as an FBI agent than Perotta, leading to an admiration of him as well as a crush.
In "The Princess and the Pear," the car that Brennan and Sweets are driving is run off the road by the murderer; when Booth finds out about this, he tells Perotta not to let Brennan go out into the field alone, and then adds "If anything happens to her...that silky black hair, that soft skin..." (being under the influence of Vicodin, his back medicine, at the time). After telling Brennan that she is not to go into the field alone, Brennan states, "Booth can be needlessly protective sometimes; I have no idea why," to which Perotta responds with, "You really don't, do you?", implying that she senses the sexual tension in Booth's and Brennan's relationship.
In 2008–2009, she appeared on three episodes of the TV show Bones. Coughlan began writing while she was pregnant and taking time off from acting. She wrote and produced her first pilot, Lost & Found for ABC in 2011. In 2014, she completed writing a comedy based on Peter and Wendy for NBC.
