** Booth set it up that way. He had been following Gus for quite a while. When Carter goes over the list of victims and when and where they were murdered, they fit where Gus would have been at the time.

** Booth is trying to give Gus a sporting chance at clearing his name; if Booth wanted to just have Gus live his life as a fugitive, he could disappear somewhere Gus would never find him, or kill himself somewhere the body would never be recovered. By staying alive and staying in the Pacific Northwest (the region both brothers grew up in), Booth is giving his brother a real chance to prove his innocence.

* [[Good Smoking, Evil Smoking]]: The evil variety: smoking is the one sure fire way to tell the evil twin apart from the good. In theory this should also provide decent evidence that Gus is innocent, were it not that his chief police antagonist suffers from [[Revenge Before Reason]].

* [[Hunting the Most Dangerous Game]]: One episode features a hunter in a rural pacific northwest town who favors this as his pray. However, Gus manages to beat him at his own game.

* [[If You're So Evil Eat This Kitten]]: In one episode, Gus is arrested by Carter, but they are both captured by escaped convicts and Gus is only able to gain their confidence by confessing to Booth's murders.

* [[Incriminating Indifference]]: Subverted in "The Reckoning." Booth's indifference to a photo of a dying victim of his leads the victim's father to believe he's innocent, while Gus' emotional reaction leads him to believe Gus is guilty.

* [[Race Against the Clock]]: Booth is dying and Gus must prove he exists before then or the truth will die with him.

* [[Revenge Before Reason]]: [[Fridge Logic]] says this is why Agent Carter isn't able to figure out that it would have been almost impossible for Gus to lead his life as a professor and have a secret life as a country traveling serial killer.

* [[Sins of Our Fathers|Sins Of Our Brothers]]: Besides being framed for every murder Booth's committed, Gus occasionally has to deal with living people Booth has wronged. One whole episode centers on this trope when one of Booth's victims' father accidentally captures both brothers (he didn't believe there really was a twin, but got lucky) with the intent of killing his daughter's killer. After being unable to determine which brother is which, he starts leaning towards killing them both, just to be sure. Then things get complicated...

* [[Start of Darkness]]: In one episode, Gus stumbles upon Booth's hometown, and meets up with Booth's high school girlfriend, who believes him to be Booth. The show spends time exploring Booth's troubled upbringing, and also reveals there's more of the evil twin in the good one than he'd like to admit.
