title - What does “Pear” mean in “The Princess and the Pear” episode of Bones? - Movies & TV

itemprop="text">

The episode href="http://bones.wikia.com/wiki/The_Princess_and_the_Pear" rel="nofollow">“The
Princess and the Pear” of the TV series Bones is about the murder of a
“princess” (actually a booth babe at a convention playing a princess). The title seems
to be an allusion to “The Princess and the Pea”, but I didn't notice anything about a
pear in the episode.

What does the
pear in the title of the episode refer to?
