Brooke Guminski (Bones)

Brooke Guminski (Galadriel Stineman) is the main villainess from "The Method in the Madness," episode 8.05 of Bones (airdate November 5, 2012). She is the co-owner of Them Apples Applesauce, running the store with her business partner, Jessica Pearson.
As the episode progressed, it was revealed that Jessica began working as a prostitute to pay for her small business, and after Willis (a friend of Jessica's late father) found out about what she had been doing, he decided to help Jessica begin the process of selling the store. Jessica discussed this with Brooke, who became angry and furious over Jessica "selling out." Brooke slapped Jessica, sending her into an operating ribbon blender, which eviscerated Jessica. After Jessica's death, the evil Brooke covered up the murder by cleaning up the area and dumping Jessica's body in the street, and it was in the beginning of the episode that Jessica's remains were found in a dump truck.
Brooke was interviewed by Temperance Brennan and Seeley Booth at the store about Jessica, with Brooke acting mournful over her deceased partner. However, Brooke would eventually be revealed as the killer after the investigation revealed that Jessica's death was caused by a machine, leading Brennan and Booth to return to the store with a warrant. After Brennan discovered the blender, Brooke, under Booth's warning, confessed to the murder. She stated that she slapped Jessica after being told about her plan to sell the store, and claimed that her death was an accident. The villainess also stated that her childhood was destroyed by her parents getting divorced due to being focused on money, and she admitted to covering up the murder afterwards before breaking down in tears. Brooke was later arrested (off-screen) for Jessica's murder.
