Trama

A corpse found roasted in a neighborhood party barbecue pit is identified as missing dentist Kurt Bissette. He had not only upset neighbors with his windmill and by nearly poisoning the gay couple's dog but probably was a blackmailer. Trey Johnson, the owners society's handsome young gardener, isn't the only one enjoying residents' infidelity, which isn't the only possible secret or motive either. Meanwhile young Parker seems worried about Booth's lack of female company. Sweets figures out why Arastoo faked his accent.—KGF Vissers

Brennan and Booth investigate human remains found at a neighborhood block party. Suburban politics and secret scandals give each neighbor in the cul-de-sac a motive, leaving Brennan, Booth and Sweets to sift through the drama to find their suspect.

We open in the suburbs -- a perfectly manicured cul-de-sac where well-dressed neighborhood folks enjoy a luau. Suddenly, popping noises begin to come from the luau pit, where a pig is being roasted. The partiers hoist up the pig and find a roasted body underneath. SCREAMING! YELLING! The afternoon is RUINED!

Cut to the Jeffersonian, where Booth (David Boreanaz) has brought Parker (Ty Panitz) to work. "I want to see the barbequed body!" he exclaims. Don't we all, kid. Dad won't allow it, though, so Parker goes with Angela (Michaela Conlin) while B&B head to the burbs. Bones notices that the dead man is wearing reflective glasses and looks to be 30 to 35 yeas of age. Booth, meanwhile, interviews the neighbors. They identify the glasses as belonging to Kurt Bissette, who lives just across the street. B&B look up and see the dead man's widow peaking through a window. Suddenly, the blinds slam SHUT. "That was creepy," Booth deadpans. Sure was.

Moments later, Kurt's wife Kelly (Paula Newsome) is being questioned by Sweets (John Francis Daley). Turns out Kurt put up a solar panel and windmill, prompting neighbors to complain that they "ruined the neighborhood." Not that Kurt was a saint. When a dog owned by a gay couple in the neighborhood peed on the windmill, Kurt gave the pooch a laxative -- nearly killing it. "Neighbors don't forget something like that," Kelly says. Cut to Hodgins (T.J. Thyne), knee deep in the luau pit. He notices small stones which might have caused the popping noises. "They might be decorative," offers intern Arastoo (Pej Vahdat) in his strong accent. Hodgins eyes light up -- and then focus on the decorative rocks surrounding Kurt and Kelly's windmill. Bingo. But it gets even better. A little digging through Kurt's rock pile reveals a "fatal amount" of blood. Double bingo. And something else: a .44 caliber bullet. Triple bingo.

Back at the lab, Arastoo gets fed up with Camille's continued questions about his religion and explodes in frustration. Funnily enough, the outburst reveals he actually has no accent. The intern has been faking. But why? No time for that now. Booth questions reluctant suburbanite Elliot (Conor Dubin), who quips: "They call it a cul-de-sac, but it's a dead end." Turns out Elliot owns a .44 caliber handgun. HOWEVER, he claims to have legally shot the pig at a nearby farm on an ill-advised hunting trip. B&B are stumped. The body shows evidence of three distinct injuries -- one being sawing -- but none of it adds up just yet. So, the pair head back to the barbeque. Hodgins is there to meet them with news: the sawing in the bones shows evidence of plants from three different yards in the neighborhood. In other words, the same saw that sawed Kurt also trimmed bushes outside more than one home. All eyes go to Trey Jordan (Rob Mayes), a young hunky gardener currently wielding a trimmer. Ah ha!

Moments later, Trey is on the hot seat. He denies having "anything going" with the recent widow. He does, however, admit to having sex with Paula (Josie Davis), Elliot's wife, and Paige (Amy Gumenick), a churchgoing couple's 18-year-old daughter. B&B decide to question Paula, who admits to sleeping with the young man. She says Kurt found about it, but just "smirked." He never threatened to tell Elliot. Why? Because Kurt was sleeping with young Paige! "If I were you, I'd be looking at Paige's father -- not me and Elliot," she says. Moments later, Paige admits to sleeping with dead Kurt (when he was alive, of course). "It's possible someone who cares about you, killed him," Booth says. Paige claims neither her father nor Trey knew about Kurt. That said, we're all beginning to get the feeling just about everyone in the neighborhood knows just about everyone else's business.

Back at the Smithsonian, Sweets questions Arastoo about the phantom accent. Turns out Arastoo acts like a rube because it's easier for his scientific colleageus to accept his deep religious devotion. In other words, the intern is playing into everyone's stereotypes. "I don't need a scientist to tell me who or what I am -- and neither should you," Sweets said. Arastoo accepts the assessment and advice. Later, Camille (Tamara Taylor) calls B&B. Saltpeter was found in the victim's blood. Booth theorizes that could have been to dampen the man's libido, which Bones (Emily Deschanel) claims is just an old wive's tale. Either way, it could have acted as a blood thinner, leading to heavy bleeding after trauma. "We just need to find out who fed Kurt Bissette the saltpeter," Bones says. So they bring in Kelly, who explains, yes, she slipped her husband the saltpeter so he would "remove his stump from her garden." B&B are then shocked to discover Kelly is talking about a different theoretical garden then originally thought. Kelly reveals Kurt was ALSO sleeping with Mary Kay (Cheryl White), Paige's mother!. Now Bob Sayles (Billy Gardell), whose wife and daughter were BOTH Kurt's conquests, REALLY has motive.

But before they confront Bob, B&B question Mary Kay. She is shocked and saddened to discover Kurt was sleeping with her daughter. She is even more shocked and saddened to discover B&B suspect her husband Bob of killing the prolific lover. Arastoo, meanwhile, admits to everyone he doesn't have an accent. "When I speak like I just got off the boat, people accept my religious convictions," he explains. The team quickly accepts their suddenly accent-less intern and gets back to work. Angela theorizes a crack in the victim's skull could have been made with a golf club. Moments later, Bob Sayles is in the hot seat. He appears SHOCKED to discover his wife AND little girl were sleeping with Kurt. "If I had known any of that, I would have killed the son of a bitch with my own bare hands," he exclaims. Alas, Bob didn't know until after his neighbor had been barbequed. Bob also explains he had a side business with Kurt -- one that won't benefit from Kurt being dead. And what is that business? Sex toys sold over the Internet. B&B head to Bob's garage, where they find stacks and stacks of pleasure-enhancement devices and blow-up dolls. Whoa.

Back at the lab, the team searches through the confiscated sex toys for a possible murder weapon, which Hodgins has determined is NOT a golf club (no titanium in the wound). Angela, in particular, seems to enjoy the process. But Arastoo notices something non-sex related matching the puncture wound in the skull: a neighborhood watch sign -- one of dozens distributed by the programs organizer, Bob Sayles.

The team descends on the cul-de-sac to look for blood on the watch signs when Bones has a ah-ha moment. She notices Mary Kay is wearing bike-riding shoes -- the curved metallic heel of which matches the mark on the victim's skull! "You kicked Kurt Bissette in the head while he was lying in the pebbles," Bones says. But that's not all. Booth notes Mary Kay had been biking with Elliot and James (Reggie Austin), one half of the gay couple, the morning of the murder. "Anyone of you could have taken the saw from the gardeners' truck," Bones says -- or a bloody neighborhood watch sign found outside Kurt's home. Three suspects for three distinct injuries! They are all arrested -- Elliot after trying to make a break for it on his bike.

Later, Sweets wonders if the neighbors motives (sick dogs, cheating wives) are strong enough for what appears to be a premeditated strike by three kllers. He then concludes it was the windmill pushing all the angry neighbors over the edge. It was the final straw, so to speak.

The episode ends with B&B eating lunch with Parker. The boy wonders aloud why Bones isn't Booth's girlfriend. "Because we work together," Bones says. Says Parker: "That's a stupid reason." Out the mouths of babes ...
