show: Bones
episode: The Secret in the Soil
The Bottom Line: "Perfect"
This episode had one of the series' most clever plotlines.... A body found at the bottom of a hill turned out to be the body of an organic farmer who didn't always use the best methods to convince others to do the same. That alone could catch almost anyone's attention. From using the legal system to gain control of farms and convert them to organic to flirting with the ladies, the man would do anything. His wife had tried to hide that side of his life from their daughter, but she already knew... Another body found was thought to be his lover, but turned out to be his daughter from another woman. This storyline invoked sympathy for the murderer.... The second death had been a complete accident caused by a misunderstanding... Then there was Sweets, the young psychiatrist, a character very different from any other in the show and the type one wants to laugh at the moment he walks in. My overall second favorite of the season.
