It was Desperate Housewives meets Bones this week when Brennan and Booth had to investigate a murder in the suburbs. A man was found in a luau pit, badly burnt. Turns out he was an environmental activist, much hated by the neighbourhood because he put up a windmill. But was that enough reason to kill him? Apparently, the neighbourhood had some other issues as well. The dead man was not only sleeping with the neighbour's young daughter, but also with his wife. And with another neighbour. He also stole 5000$ from another and poisoned a dog. Of course this all came out eventually as the lab processed the evidence. First, they suspected the gardener, then the husband and father, and the wife who admitted that he fed him Salt Peter because she thought it would weaken her husband's libido. The problem: Salt Peter acts as a blood thinner and led to inner bleedings. Finally, it was discovered that three neighbours teamed up and hit the victim and he bled out because of the Salt Peter. Although they were all mad at him, the last straw was the squeaking of the windmill.
Meanwhile, Aristoo was back and there was something odd about him. He suddenly spoke without an accent in front of Cam who tried to find out why he faked an Arab accent. Cam wanted Sweets to talk to him who discovered that it was to avoid discussions why he was a devote Muslim and a scientist. If he spoke with an accent, everyone would accept it easier. He then didn't talk with an accent, baffling Angela and Hodgins and had to discuss everything again. In the end, they just sat together, talked and joked. At first, I didn't like this story cuz who fakes an accent? But the last scene was nice (Cam hitting Hodgins, lol) and I love that Aristoo's accent is gone (It was annoying and fake anyway)
I really liked the second sub-plot. Boot's son Parker was visiting and asked every woman in Booth's life if she could be his dad's girlfriend. The kid is very cute and I loved that Angela called him "baby-Booth", hehehe. Sweets suspected that Parker was trying to identify himself with his fahter and looked for a gender role model, but it turned out to be something completely different. His friend's father got a new girlfriend and then a pool, so he wanted his father to get a girlfriend so he could get a pool. I loved how Booth freaked out and the whole "We'll talk about it when you have hair under your arm" thing was hilarious. And it provided a cute Booth-Brennan moment: He asked her to be his alibi-girlfriend and they all went together to the diner. Oh, they looked like a cute little family and when Bones found out about the whole pool-thing, she gave them the key to her apartment-building that has a pool. Oh, I just love them.
All in all, it was a pretty good episode. The case was interesting, although a little constructed and I loved that Parker was back. I somehow have something against Aristoo, but I'll get used to it.
Best Moment: The end and Sweets and Bones fighting: psychology vs. anthropology.
Weirdest Moment: The victim's wife closing the blinds. Creepy and weird.
