5 Things to Know About BONES

Bones returns on Thursday with a new episode that promises to pick up the pieces of May 14th's shocker, which ultimately saw Brennan kicking Booth to the curb following revelations about his gambling relapse.

Thursday's new episode "The Woman in the Whirlpool" will see both Brennan and Booth struggling with their new arrangement, both personally and professionally, while the team wonders if they're headed for divorce.

Meanwhile, duty calls as the body of a well-known cookie jar collector is found in the Potomac river, prompting the team to investigate the victim's collector community in order to catch the murderer.

And for once Aubrey bites off more than he can chew when he begins a flirtation with one of the Squints.

We’ve seen this episode a little earlier than most, thanks to our friends at FOX, and have 5 new teasers to share with you.

As usual, no major spoilers! We want you to enjoy this episode as much as we did.

Here then are 5 things to know about “The woman in the Whirlpool.”

Doing the Right Thing

At first glance the twin plots of this week’s episode (Booth’s gambling addiction and the murder of a cookie jar collector) may seem unrelated, but following a rather comic opening scene, we were pleased to see a more nuanced theme emerge, linking both stories together, tonally at least.

And it’s not just to the viewer’s benefit either. This particular murder investigation allows both Booth and Brennan to take a step back and view their problem from another angle, prompting both of them to take positive steps in the right direction.

We have hope for this couple.
