The next suspect (yes there are a lot of red herrings this episode!) is one of the workers at the chicken farm who sued the victim for sexual harassment. She admits she hated him, but she would've cut off something much more valuable than a toe first. Hee. I actually called this one from the beginning of the episode because they hadn't even tried to suspect the security guard so far. It turns out his wife had gotten sick there and he had to move elsewhere for her health. When the victim refused to help them with gas money, he got angry and killed him. He put his head in one of the chicken machines. Gross. Booth actually believes that it was an 'accident,' but Brennan calmly explains that it was definitely murder.
Booth is shaken that his instinct didn't kick in with the guy, and he's afraid his brain surgery is still giving him problems. Brennan reassures him, especially after he senses Wendell and Angela's relationship and smugly smiles about it. Brennan also gets advice from Sweets to help Angela save her pig and save their friendship at the same time. Aww... yay. We don't like when those two fight! It's silly that Wendell hasn't just been given the full time position by now. Everyone on the show loves him. He plays hockey with Booth, he goes out with Hodgins, and now he sleeps with Angela. They all donated money for his scholarship too. It's about time the revolving door of the interns is done, and it looks like the show already knows who should be Zack's full time replacement.
Next week the team investigates a dwarf wrestler who is murdered. Dum-dum-duuuum...
Best part of the episode: Booth and Brennan holding hands at lunch and being adorable.
Worst part of the episode: Hodgins said no to Angela? Really? Why start now?

Hodgins sleeping with Angela just to break her celibacy is pity sex, Neither wants that.

Oh, come ON. Can we please knock off the animal rights-inspired plotlines in the series these days?? Makes me want to boycott buying the DVDs for sure!!
Inaccurate, poor science, on shows priding themselves on accuracy! For shame.

at Nancy - That's a good point, I wish he would've explained that though. As it was it just seemed like a flat rejection and Angela was hurt, you could see it.
At Enough - It can be annoying when a show seems to have an agenda. It's not a hot issue for me so I didn't mind, but I can see where it would be frustrating.

No, Amanda, this is the episode from last week. The one you saw on 11-9 is the dwarf episode, which is the most recent.
