Bones -- "The Tough Man in the Tender Chicken"
"Pluck you!" said the murderer who wrung the chicken man's neck on Bones. Booth and Brennan find themselves tarred and feathered (ok, corn syrup and paper feathers) when they investigate the murder of a chicken farmer and encounter angry residents protesting the animal cruelty and gawdawful stench associated with such establishments.
It's been at least several episodes since we've heard the status of Angela's celibacy, and she informs Hodgins it's been five months and 14 days. Someone call the National Guard! When she questions her friendship with Brennan after an argument over saving a cute piglet -- Brennan's rational, Angela's emotional -- Sweets points out she may be channeling all that sexual frustration into other areas. Gettin' hot and sweaty and saving Babe the pig. Sure... same thing.
Wendell Bray -- the intern most likely to make us go "awwww" -- admits to loving bacon, ribs, steak, you name it, but gives Angela all the money in his wallet anyway. That's enough to have her breaking out of the nunnery and planting a few big ones on the surprised, and very pleased, Wendell. We have to say: didn't see it coming, but don't really object either. We'd probably plant a few wet sloppy ones on him too.
Booth convinces Brennan to mend fences with Angela by donating to the
swine cause, letting her "win" one for once. Brennan convinces Booth he
hasn't lost his touch just because he can't remember if he likes brown
sugar on his oatmeal (according to Brennan: "Next time call me, you
like brown sugar on anything.") and couldn't tell a suspect was lying,
when Brennan could.
Does it matter who killed the chicken farmer? Not really. The show's transitioned nicely into a fun drama (there's such a thing, right?) about relationships with unique mysteries to tie everything together. Fun times.
In an episode about chickens and pigs, you better believe there's plenty o' quotables:

Brennan (to Angela): "It's our job to find out who killed the human being. It probably wasn't a chicken revolutionary; it probably was a human."
Booth: "Bones -- I would do anything for you. I'd die for you. I'd kill for you. I won't get between two best friends."
Angela: "If I have sex, will you donate to save this pig?"
Sweets: "We'll revisit the pig question, yes."
Cam: "Yeah... I don't twirl the interns. Perhaps Angela would do it?"
