Bones - 'The method in the madness'

Sorry for another late posting, my Internet was screwy, and then my mom called halfway through the episode, so I missed it and then couldn't watch online due to screwy Internet... bla.
I was really looking forward to this episode after their hiatus (And I’m especially looking forward to a plotline involving Sweets – yay!)
Good greif garbage guys finding a body and start to freak out. Who wouldn't?
Awww poor Sweets is sleeping on a couch in his office... Poor guy looks so depressed that Booth suggests he move in with him and Bones for a while. I really think I’m going to enjoy this (also heard that he’s in a towel at one point teehee).
Between watching this show and the various incarnations of CSI over the years, I’d like to think I have a pretty strong stomach, but that crime scene was just GROSS. The body was partly skin (hands and feet looked normal) partly bones, and for some reason all the organs were removed and in a garbage bag, which leaked when Hodgins picked it up, and spilled guts and crud all over the ground and Cam.
I’m still not sure I like the new opening credits… Season 8 is too late to change the theme song!!
Apparently the victim was still alive when her organs were removed and her skin was cut off, but they lied to Angela and said that she was ‘probably dead’. Then Fisher (yay I’ve missed that guy!) mentioned serial killer Ed Gein and I am debating over whether, once we discover the entirety of the crime, it’ll be more disturbing than Gein's. When Booth shows Sweets the photos of the victim, even he is grossed out.
Side note: I just got a book called 501 Most Notorious Crimes and as soon as Fisher mentioned Gein, I flipped to his page and refreshed my memory - that guy was messed-up. But I am going to enjoy reading along when the cast of Criminal Minds are talking about serial killers :) 
Angela’s checklist – piece together the face, reconstruct the face, search for the the victim’s identity, then hurl. Sounds about right! Once she puts together the face, she and Hodgins both gasp because her face matches the face of a girl named Jess from the label of their son’s favourite brand of applesauce! That’s certainly an unconventional way to make an ID, I gotta say…
Booth and Brennan interview the other owner of the applesauce store (it’s in an artisan neighbourhood, prompting Brennan to point out that ‘olden times’ is not a real historical period lol), and she points them in the direction of a creepy guy named Adam who kept giving Jess meat, (not as weird as it sounds, he's a butcher) just as, back at the lab, Hodgins and Fisher  - the latter still talking about serial killers - realise that the killer would have used a straight-edged knife and would have had to be extremely strong in order to make such deep cuts.
Adam says he would never have used chemicals, such as the ammonia used to clean the body, because of his organic-ness, and also that some big angry guy had threatened to crush his skull if he didn’t leave Jess alone; and he says that he was only giving her the free meat because she wasn’t making a lot of money and was barely able to feed herself. Angela and Hodgins find a bunch of 100$ bills on her body that would indicate otherwise, hmmm...
They then find out that Jessica was lying about going to the doctor to have treatments for lupus - she was perfectly healthy. So why was she going to the doctor??
Apparently Sweets is a wonderful houseguest, but Booth still doesn't want him (Sweets) folding his (Booth's) Captain America boxers. They interview Jessica's doctor (who I recognise from somewhere - big shock) and he says she was being checked monthly for STDs, the implication being that she was a prostitute on the side.
Fisher took some pig bones from the garbage at the butcher's, to get around the need for a warrant (genius! I wish I had thought of that!), and he finds that although the pig bones and the victim's bones display the same level of skill in how they were sliced and skinned, the victim was killed by someone right-handed and the butcher Adam was a lefty. Then Cam tells him that the victim may have been a prostitute, and he goes 'Wait! Her throat was slit, she was a prostitute, and found in thegarbage! This killer is mimicking Jack the Ripper!' (I swear, it's like he's reading my book.. Or maybe he wrote it!)
Working by lanternlight (because, of course, it's only natural), Fisher finds - something.
LMAO Booth accidentally walked in on Sweets in the bathtub and is all mad hahaha so Sweets comes out in a towel and analyses Booth's 'fear of nudity' (apparently called 'gymnophobia', thanks Sweets) and he's hairier than I remembered.. Kinda getting round in the stomach too, but he's damn cute so I'll take it :P
Then there's a knock at the door, and Fisher is there! And he can 'see right up Sweet's skirt' on the stairs haha, apparently the 'something' he found was fractures on the victim's wrists, indicating she was restrained. So Sweets and Fisher agree on the serial killer theory. And Booth kicks Fisher out and calls Sweets a Sasquatch. Fun times!
Cam found alcohol in Jessica's stomach matching a kind made by a company owned by her doctor - then when they go to his apartment, they find him standing over a woman tied to the bed, and wearing a cape, top hat, and holding a knife! O.o He says he was using Jessica's 'services' when she hurt her wrists from struggling and a giant guy came in and threatened him!
Angela finds the guy on a security camera and they find him and he says he was friends with Jessica's father years ago and he admits to threatening Adam and attacking the doctor. He said he offered to get her investors for her applesauce company.
Angela and Cam find out that the victim was likely cut up by a machine based on how evenly-spaced the cuts were. Booth thinks that the co-owner could have been angry over Jessica wanting to sell out, so he and Bones go to interview her, and she admits that she had slapped Jess, and Jess had fallen in the giant blender-thing (which should really have a lid on it!) and it was an accident!
I have to admit, I'm a teensy bit disappointed by the lack of a serial killer in this episode :/ That's weird.  
Sweets wants to move out but Bones insists they dance around like fools first to 'celebrate his freedom' hahaha and Booth sits by with a raised eyebrow drinking his Scotch XD
