Bones - 'A Friend in Need'

This episode originally aired on Feb 18th, I'm trying to catch up before tonight's episode!
Homeless guy tries to sell a dirty suitcase to a pawn shop, and there's a body inside - so he turns to the owner and goes '50 cents?' haha
Booth is trying to do a crossword puzzle and Bones leans in to correct him - which is a weird coincidence, because I was doing crossword puzzles a lot this week while watching my Bones DVDs. Also, she's never heard of Gilligan's Island. Hooo boy!
Finn's back! And he can cook better than Hannibal Lecter. Good on him haha.
Hodgins thinks the cause of death is stupidity - as in 'Jackass stunt gone wrong' haha that's my boy!! Gotta say, after watching Season 2 on DVD for a week, I do like him now, beardless, better than I did with all the scruff. But I miss Zack!!! (Despite my love of Finn, Wendell et al). But of course, my favourite addition since then would have to be Sweets!!!
Speaking of whom, he and Booth are going to talk to the victim's family, apparently he was a 15-year-old named Martin/Manny, and their neighbour Delores and her daughter Kat (whose last name are Martin.. Weird)  is there and are really close to the family, so they're shocked. Apparently Manny was a bit of a loner, and had reluctantly gone to a party the night he disappeared, Kat convinced him to go to try and make new friends. Cam says she found the drug Ketamine in his system, and when Sweets repeatedly offers the family call a greif hotline, they refuse because they 'help each other out' and Delores says "We're not psychology people" which is a really weird thing to say... But kind of reminded me of Bones.
"I hate psychology."
Michelle scares the crap out of Finn (and me!) By sneaking up on him and covering his eyes, then saying that she lied to Cam about being in town, so she wants to stay at his place... I can't see this ending well hahaha
Booth finds a bunch of pulled-apart electronics in Manny's room, as well as a wad of cash. Kat says that he would 'fix' people's computers and phones and such. Angela says that all the phones were wiped, but Manny's wasn't - the only person he called was his mom, but he texted Kat a lot (seemed like he had a crush on her and she kept blowing him off) as well as a guy named Nick with some weird codes and numbers. And Angela and Cam have a very pointed conversation about how Michelle's not rebellious and Cam would know if she was lying, et cetera, and again - can't see that ending well.
Booth interviews the Nick guy, who says there was no drugs involved, he and Manny had a little business where he would rig people's phones for free downloads, erase their data limits, that type of thing. Manny was the brains of the operation, but never met any of the customers, that was Nick's end. Nick also saw him at the party, which he says was one of the best parties he'd ever been to.
Finn and Bones do some sciency stuff and discover cause of death, then Michelle calls Finn who had left his phone in Bone's office, he doesn't answer but Bones says she's called a lot of times, and then Cam shows up and is all 'I'm understanding, you miss each other'. SO. AWKWARD.
Brennan and Angela and Cam look at all the pictures online from the party the kids were at, he was apparently following Kat around and looking upset, there was a guy dancing with her and apparently they got in an argument. Booth interviews the guy who apparently is older than them. He says Manny interrupted their dancing and yelled at him, but he left and got a drink instead of fighting with him - however, Kat did yell at him and say she hated him and wished he was dead. Poor kid.
Bones and Finn are talking about teenagers making bad decisions, and he mutters (when she's out of earshot) that he wishes all his bad decisions were 'behind him'..
Kat comes in to talk to Sweets and acts surprised that he remembers her (why not, they only met a few days ago!) then he sneakily recorded their conversation and she tells him that she was raped at the party but doesn't remember it happening - all she remembers is one green eye. And she told her mother about it, but her mom said not to go to the police because 'if she doesn't know who did it then it's her fault'. What a bitch!!! And a horrible mother!!! Holy crap!! Kat denies taking any drugs (when they keep saying Special K it freaks me out because I think of cereal), but swears it couldn't have been Manny. Then Sweets leaves the room kind of abruptly and tells Booth and Bones, who say that apparently Manny hadn't actually ingested the drug, it was in a bag on him and then it decomposed as he did. Booth hypothesizes that he was dealing, and Bones observes that "A disproportionate number of drug dealers end up homicide vicitms". HAHA! It's true...
Sweets has to tell the D.C. police what Kat told him, because 'it's not a federal case' or some crap, Booth also gets all worried about him talking to a minor without a parent present (yea fat load of help the mother is!!) and then Kat gets all mad because she trusted him with her secret and he told someone. And he looks really sad. Poor both of them.
Finn shows Cam some injuries on the bones that are somehow random and specific at the same time. And then "one other thing - Michelle is in town visiting me". HAHAHA Cam is all shocked but then goes "You are in big trouble, Finn - with Michelle! Why are you telling me?!" And he's all confused and it makes him even more adorable. Especially considering he phrased it "I'm mighty confused right now". So Cam hatches a scheme for him and Michelle to meet somewhere, for him to tell her the location and she would 'happen' upon them, that way he would save face, she would get to be mad at Michelle, and Michelle would think it's just a coincidence. NOT GOING TO END WELL I SWEAR. But that scene was hilarious!
Cue Wanda from Corner Gas and her 'schemey fingers' hahaha I miss that show...
The bitch-mom continues being a bitch, says she hated the way Manny 'looked at' Kat and 'once those hormones started flowing I had to get him away from her', that she knew it was him as soon as Kat told her, and so she confronted him and he said nothing, the blood drained from his face and he ran off. Which, clearly, means he's guilty. I would like to punch this woman.
Bones tells her off, and Delores goes 'well if I told the police, then it'd ruin her reputation', you know, because that's logical, as opposed to a girl thinking her mother doesn't care about her and she's all alone!! But Finn and Bones realise that Delores wasn't strong enough to cause Manny's injuries.
Then Kat confronts Sweets outside the FBI building and says he couldn't understand what happened to her (I realise she's really small, holy crap, altho I guess it's cos JFD is 6 feet tall). He tells her that he was beat when he was in a foster home as a kid, by his foster father - I guess that's where those awful whip marks on his back came from.
The ones they 'accidentally' forgot this season when he was shirtless in Episode 5... CONTINUITY!!!
Poor sweet Sweets! He looks like he's going to cry... Oh lord I want to hug him!!! He says he was helped by a psychologist, and he can find someone to help her too.
Cam and Finn carry out their little sneaky-plan, Cam reams out Michelle (and Finn), Michelle feels bad, Cam walks off 'angrily' (but when we see her face she's giggling haha I love her) and then Michelle turns to Finn and hugs him, apologises for getting him caught up in the middle of it and says he's the best. He makes a face like 'well, that went better than expected' which makes him really adorable again.
Angela Sweets and Brennan go back through the pictures from the party (I gotta say, those are some of the most random things for people to be taking pictures of, half the time there's no obvious subject, but the characters are conveniently down in the corner...) and they find and follow Kat this time. Also, Bones has been reading Sweet's psychology books in the tub. Because for some reason, he leaves them in the bathroom. After Manny leaves, she goes back to the older guy, but apparently he's found a new girl by this point so she goes and sulks, and some dude (whose face you can't really see) offers her a drink. A few minutes later, she's hardly able to walk, and she and the dude disappear.
When Michelle goes to Cam's office to apologize and says she 'hopes Cam won't take it personally', Cam says that she (Michelle) was 'personally' avoiding her (Cam) 'personally' so it's 'very hard not to take it personally'. Ok I am loving whoever wrote this plotline - then Cam spills that Finn told her the whole thing, Michelle gets mad but Cam defends him so they decide to keep Michelle's knowledge a secret
This is all so complicated....
So they decide to keep no secrets whatsoever - then Cam admits that she is dating Vasiri, Michelle is shocked and says she's going to have to keep that a secret, and Cam goes 'oh crap'.
They figure out that Manny was killed by 3 ratcheting straps around the suitcase - then they remember that the Nick guy works at a moving company. I'm creeped out, because we have straps exactly like those at my house - we use them to tie bikes to our tent trailer.
Nick says he had the ketamine because that's how one of their 'clients' paid them, and he gave it to Manny after the party becasue he didn't want the stuff, and it was worth a lot of money anyways. Sweets storms in and screams at Nick that he must have raped Kat, because he had a green thing that looked like an eye (really creepy) on a string around his neck. Nick says that Manny confronted him after the party because he thought that Nick had raped Kat, and admits to hitting Manny but says that was it. Then Booth takes Sweets aside (in the same room) and says 'how could you do that, now we can't arrest him for both, even if he admits to it, because Kat lied about her age, meaning she was on Ketamine' and I'm very confused because that's a load of bullshit - until Nick says 'ok, I did it' and THEN I realise what they're up to. Bones calls him stupid ahaha and he's all confused, says Booth lied - and Booth goes 'no, I didn't, I can charge you with the murder, but the D.C. Metro Police will be the ones charging you for rape'. AHAHA SO CLEVER!!!
Sweets gives Kat and her mother (who have matching roots, I notice) the news and Kat starts crying, then he says "She needs professional help - and she needs your help". Then they start crying and hugging, and Sweets does that thing where his jaw quivers a little and he looks down like he's about to tear up, and I want to hug him again!! Darn his cuteness!!
Booth and Brennan are back at home and playing with Christine and she mentions that she's much smarter than him, but he let Sweets think he broke the case even though he already knew the answer, asks if he ever does that to her and he denies it (but I can tell he's lying!) and then she says she's researched Gilligan's Island, and the premise makes no sense to her. Of course. Her own show probably wouldn't make any sense to her either!
