A burned body stumps the team. It leads to an organic farmer, which leads to a composting landfill. This is one of those episodes that those of us not up on our organic chemistry might learn a thing or two. Turns out the body was not burned in any traditional manner, but to say more would give things away. But I will tell you that B&B almost end up in the composting landfill. It's a very big landfill. Not much more to say about this episode, however IMDb expects me to write another line or two. So what you are reading now is simply padding to get this review accepted. If you have time, go to youtube and catch the blooper reel from this show. It's pretty entertaining.

Here Come the Haters
Hitchcoc23 January 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Once again we have someone throwing the show away because a new character is introduced. Sweets will prove quite interesting eventually, but to give an episode a one rating is just spiteful. Now, on to the episode. This is one of the best composting TV mystery shows I have seen. That a body would be put in such a place seems quite a possibility. Had there been no investigation, it would have become part of someone's garden. The guy who commits the crime had reason to be angry and vengeful, but he also didn't see what was right in front of him. He killed his wife and destroyed his connection to his daughter forever based on his misguided conclusions. I really liked this episode.

While I don't really like the plot of this episode, it gets 8/10 simply for introducing us to Sweets, who is kind of annoying in this episode, but becomes one of the best characters by far. I also really like when he does the hand motions to demonstrate the BnB partnership and they think he's nuts (which is a recurring theme for the rest of their relationship with Sweets). The plot with the half sisters is really sad, but just the existence of Sweets makes this episode happier.
Introducing Lance Sweets!
mitchrmp18 July 2016
Lance Sweets as joined the show and adds a lot to this series. He is not liked much at first, but over the years, he becomes close friends with Booth and Brennan. He has their relationship pegged from the very beginning. He must evaluate them to see if they should continue to work as partners. He's concerned with all the arguing they do, but by the end of the episode he learns that their relationship goes much deeper than they claim.
Booth and Brennan argue a bit in this episode, and we wouldn't want it any other way. It's their lively conversations that make this show - and their relationship - so great!
Welcome, Lance Sweets!

"Don't mind Mr. Grouchy"
NancyPi31428 September 2021
Finally! The first episode with John Francis Daley as FBI psychologist, Dr. Lance Sweets, our team is complete!
When the body is found, it's warm. 127 degrees, warm. Even Booth knows that's not normal. The victim, Franklin Curtis, is the owner of an organic market chain and a well-known philanderer. Bones and Booth investigate his next-door neighbor who didn't want to switch his farm to organic. While they search the property, the farmer's wife brings lemonade and is being quite loose-lipped with Booth, answering questions he didn't even ask and making her husband seem even more guilty.
New evidence brings the team to a composting facility where Hodgins is in his element, even when they find a second body that they'd been looking for. The second body has the same congenital abnormality as the first and Dr. Saroyan discovers the decedents are father and daughter. Noel, the friendly, stalking, stoner dude points Bones and Booth in the right direction and it all ends very sadly.
Back in Sweets' office, Bones and Booth agree that, were there no more murders, they would still probably get coffee sometimes, which I'm certain would turn into dinner and drinks.

The Button in the Skin Slippage
HiBonesBooth18 October 2021
This week's crime scene is at the VA hospital which is closed on Saturdays because apparently veterans don't need medical attention on weekends. There's a huge crowd at the scene (horny teenagers, they come for the make outs and stay for the maggoty decomposing body). Bones temps this particular decomposing body at 127 degrees, so on its way to a nice medium rare.
Turns out the victim was the owner of Sprouts, I mean Natural Sun Markets, so we get a full episode of Perspectives on Organic Food in 2005. Booth, who has never heard of cancer, argues that people live longer now because of pesticides. The pineapple farmer is my personal hero, and I don't know why his stationary-bike-run-blender has not become a thing. Booth asks for his pineapple smoothie in a to go cup, even though it was already in a mason jar, the ultimate to go cup-just slap a lid on that bad boy and don't worry about bringing it back, I'm sure pineapple guy has more.
At the compost place, one of those crazy eco terrorists (meaning people who believe in organic farming) says Frank couldn't possibly care about the environment because he has air conditioning...in Virginia...
We should all be much more suspicious of how Emma's stalker can afford a motel room because no one is buying homemade hemp oil body products from this man. No one.
The key to solving the case ends up being a pair of sunglasses made of (gasp!) bamboo! Can you imagine??? In the year of our lord 2021, half my belongings are made of bamboo, so yes I can.

Yyayyy love that we get Sweets but sad to not have Gordon Gordon anymore. Bones line "Don't scare the boy Booth" was hilarious. Tripping over a dead cooked body would definitely ruin the mood. Haha yes Booth Mrs. Harding was definitely helpful. Fresh made lemonade and a same day picked pineapple smoothie yes please. King of the lab! Lol Angela "I'll crush you like a bug dude." Poor Booth looks so dejected with Bones logical I wouldn't grab coffee with you answer.
Annoying Douchebag Sweets Joins the Cast
Johnny_West22 November 2021
Just when the show was hitting its stride, the incrdeibly smug and annoying character of Lance Sweets (John Francis Dailey) joins the cast. He claims he has been hired to decide if Booth and Brennan can work together. That seems like an incredible waste of money. Why would the FBI do that? Why would the Jeffersonian Institute do that? Highly dubious explanation for the existence of Sweets.
The actual mystery death is a tale of organic farming gone wrong, and a girl who thought wrongly that her Daddy was having an affair with a young employee of his grocery store. It seemed like nobody talked to anyone? Like "Hey are you screwing my Dad?" could have avoided a couple of murders.

Hi Bones Booth Podcast.
Greetings from Jan in England.
Oh dear evern the rather wonder introduction of the rather wonderful Dr Sweets could not save this episode of Bones from the stinking pile.
This is a bit of a bleugh (British slang for not good enough. Bland.) episode. Perhaps because it's so slow moving. Even the dialogue comes across as stilted.
Opening scene in Dr Sweet's office. The questionnaire he gives them is probably a core 10. Core stands for Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation, as the name suggests it's made up from 10 questions. It looks for any mental health issues, and id often used at the start and once again at the end of therapy.
Skin slippage- Sounds nasty.
A bit odd that Cam couldn't recognise a clear imprint of a button on the victim's skin. She's supposed to be a New York coroner.
Elizabeth Harding- What a fool. It's a wonder she's still alive with her foot in mouth scene.
Love the nod to David's past acting history, when the road to the Apocalypse is mentioned, in the pineapple greenhouse. (In Angel he was always trying to stop one.) This is not the first time that this happened and it's not the last one either.
The rest of the episode drags its heels as the team lurch from one discovery to another. Can you tell that is not one of my favorite episodes?
The only scene that I like is the end scene once again back in Dr Sweets office. It's clear here that Sweets is under the impression, given by the test answers that he thinks Bones and Booth have a thing going on. The looks he gives both of them are priceless. Bones jumps in to defend Booth when she believes that Sweets is having a go at him.
Booth "Sweets I can only hope that one day you know what a real partnership is." "We complete each other as a team." - The look on Booths face he looks like he's been caught with his hand in the cookie jar.
Booth is very quick to assure Sweets that Bones and he are just partners. Bones jumps in to hammer home the point in her own unique ham-fisted style.
Booth is happy about that fact the Bones would go for coffee with him. But he catches the look that Sweets is giving them both and quickly changes the subject.
The best bits of this espisode take place at the start and at the end of the program.

They brought in an analyst to beef up the ratings because the writers have run out of material .... even a child could write these episodes overnight ... gimme a break, this show is toast already ... next they will drag out some obscure old case to reunify the cast ... sweets is a loser slowly sinking in pond scum ... i find it all tawdry and whimsical ... its time for brennan and booth to get in the sack
