Bones - 'The Twist in the Plot'

I'm tired, and apparently tonight's episode of Bones is insane, so I want to catch up and watch it, but the 2 blogs before I get there will have to be my own version of point-form, because I don't have the energy to go into a lot of detail (sorry! I had 2 midterms today!! I'm exhausted!!). If you want the nitty-gritty detailed synopsis, here's the IMDb page for this episode: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2639530/synopsis But if you decide to stick around here, you'll get my patented sarcasm and fangirl squealing (and also my undying appreciation!) Thank you.
There's people. In the woods. On Segways. I love Segways, I have always wanted one, ever since the Weird Al video for 'White and Nerdy'. I got the chance to ride one several years ago at Science North in Sudbury, and got the hang of it better than any of my family! White and Nerdy, indeed. 
Like bosses!! Except he can do his with no hands. I'm impressed.
Anyway, back to the people on Segways - fun fact, 'segway' is another word for 'transition' or 'moving smoothly on to the next point' in writing - the woman falls off of hers and down a little hill. She gets covered in bugs and there's a skull where she was lying.
Turns out Daisy is coming back to the lab (boo!) and Sweets is still living with Booth and Bones (yay!) but hasn't slept with a woman since they broke up (poor Sweets). However, I do like all the 'casual' scenes with him that are non-case-related lol he's so cute!!
Bones is looking at the crime scene and finds that there's a second one buried underneath. Daisy is back, keeps comparing herself to Brennan, much to Brennan's (and my) annoyance.
The victim, named Monica was not murdered, she was buried without a coffin or embalming through this company that offers 'natural' burials... In the forest. Creepy. The first person was a cancer victim. The second was a murder victim. Also, apparently when Hodgins dies he wants to be launched into the sun. Typical hahaha I'm just surprised he didn't want to be launched into orbit.
The second victim was Monica's 'death' consultant named Rachel.
Bones' last will and testament is 312 pages long, and Booth's is a sticky note saying 'everything goes to Bones'. Typical haha.
They go to the natural-burial company, and the 'end-of-life consultant' practising with a terminal patient for 'last rites' is someone whose voice I recognized long before he turned around - Vik Sahay a.k.a. Lester from Chuck!!!!!!! 
I wonder what Jeff's up to these days...
He was always so weird, I forgot how cute he was... And I was usually distracted by Zachary Levi. He's shocked that Rachel is dead, and is crying and grabs Bones' hand and when they go to leave, he doesn't let go until she says "Can I have my hand back?"
Hodgins thinks Daisy is going to be pissed at Sweets and is going to want to stab him if she sees him (Don't give the crazy lady ideas, Hodgins!!), but she says she's 'throwing herself into work' like Dr. Brennan. In a condescending manner, naturally.
Angela and I are both noticing, Bones is in a surprisingly happy mood today... Weird.
Sweets and Booth talk to a guy who had tried to sue Rachel for backing out of a proposed business deal with him, he says she was sleeping with the Lester-guy (whose real name I didn't catch).
Sweets drops in to say hi to Daisy. She ignores his personal question about how she's doing, and just rattles on about the case. Awkward. Just LEAVE, Sweets!! She's apparently 'fine', but he's not. And she found out that Rachel was hit in the face (hard) about 6 or 7 months before she died. Lester (whose name is Mr. Mirza) says he didn't hit her in the face, they broke up 6 or 7 months ago. Apparently he accidentally smacked her with his elbow while they were having sex - and that's how she hurt her face. And she also had a weird 'arrangement' where she would only date a guy for 3 months maximum, and then move on.
Daisy tells Cam that Monica's cancer was not advanced enough to kill her, so now they have no clue how she died.
There were crushing wounds on Rachel, which contained trace of stone used to make a burial marker - which Mirza makes. Which is odd considering there wasn't one near Monica's grave. Apparently Bones and Booth have it though O.o Plot hole!!
Hodgin's beetles are becoming obese, which shouldn't happen with beetles, so he decides to use the coffee grinder to smush them up (naturally, since the blender is broken - methinks from the last time he used it to grind up maggots). Here's an idea, they should keep a blender or something JUST for the lab, so he doesn't have to keep contaminating and replacing all of Cam's kitchen appliances.
Sweets tries to talk to Booth about his feelings about Daisy and getting an apartment - Booth won't listen, and tells him to get drunk. Always with the wisdom, our Booth.
Because what would this episode be without being awkward, Sweets and Daisy go get coffee, and she says she's kinda seeing someone now, so he makes up an FBI-agent girlfriend so he doesn't seem like a loner. Oy vey. Does he not watch any TV or movies?? That NEVER works!! 
With the possible exception of this one.
Alright, how much do you want to bet she was making it up too. As much as I hate to admit it, they were totally created for each other. Damn it.
The fat beetles had eaten flesh containing bath salts - which could be the reason Monica died before her cancer was advanced enough. Someone poisoned her.
Bones' planned funeral is a Tibetan 'sky funeral' where a llama master (for a second I thought she meant llama like the mammal - wake up Emily!!) basically dismembers and then pulverises the body, to allow for maximum scavenging by vultures.
O.O basically sums up both my and Booth's faces when she explained it.
Monica's husband had access to the bath salts used to kill her. And when Sweets confronts him about it, he admits that Monica had begged him to do it because she was in too much pain. Oh lordy, this just got really sad.
Booth realises based on the phone calls that the husband was making to Rachel that she and him were having an affair - for 3 months. OOOOHHHHH I kinda saw that coming, but it's a good twist (hence the title of this episode?). Booth gets him in the interrogation room, and he says "This room is a lot scarier than the last one... And you're a lot scarier than the psychologist." Haha amen to that. 
This room is kind of creepy because it's so dark, but I've always wondered about the acoustics in there, because of the texture of the walls. I would love to drag a piano in there and see how it sounds. Is that weird?
Booth thinks he killed Rachel and put the grave marker back where it had been, because he felt guilty for cheating on his wife. And he killed Rachel because the 3 months was up right before Monica died, so he was upset about losing someone else at the same time. Ugh now I feel bad for the guy who sent one woman to her death, and helped another one reach hers earlier.
Cam sees Daisy sitting in the lab with mascara stains running down her cheeks. Because she's sad. And then they have a very touching conversation about how their relationship was 'vibrant and alive' and 'you can't bring something back to life and expect it to be as good as it was before'. And then Cam adds on "Also, stop copying Dr. Brennan. It's a little creepy." Attagirl!!!
Booth is making a will on video for Christine, and Bones walks in and watches him, and you can see her over his shoulder in the video (which is also a little creepy). 
Did no one in the editing process notice how weird that looks?? It's a somber moment, and I can't stop laughing at the teeny Bones-head peeking over his shoulder!!

And his little speech makes me, and her, and him all start crying, and now I have a strong urge to phone my daddy!!
Then when he's saying goodbye to the video, Bones runs into the room and jumps onto him like a teenage girl and hugs him and he goes 'Oh come on, you messed up the ending now!' I love those two.
She's also made changes to her will - it's down to a mere 306 pages now, and she wants her ashes to be sprinkled in a volcano. Also, it's 'not her problem' how he gets to the top of the volcano to do so hahaha. Oh man. A good, cute, sweet, sappy ending to a pretty sad episode.
