Bones: Info About the Next Three New Episodes

Today, FOX released some information about the next three new episodes of Bones. They give us the general plot lines for them. It’s not a huge amount of information for each, but enough to let us know a little about the cases they’ll be working on.

We also get to see that Cam’s former fiancee gets half-eaten by a tiger at the zoo. That’s totally not what she had in mind when they broke up, I’m pretty sure anyway. And the writing team alluded to the fact that they had toyed with the idea of a case centered around a “pregnancy pact” when I talked to them in August. Here’s the episode. Now I can’t wait to see these three episodes air!!

Episode 4.16: The Bones That Foam
Airdate: March 12, 2009

In an episode directed by BONES star David Boreanaz, bungee-jumping newlyweds plunge off a bridge on their wedding day only to come face-to-face with a corpse lying at the bottom of the gorge. After ruling out suicide, Brennan (Emily Deschanel), Booth (Boreanaz) and the Jeffersonian team try to determine the cause of death. When they notice an unknown substance oozing from the body, the lab is thrown into immediate lockdown, and they realize they have only 24 hours to unravel the mystery before the bones disintegrate.

Episode 4.17: The Salt in the Wounds
Airdate: March 19, 2009

Booth and Brennan investigate a petrified human body found buried in a mound of salt in a city de-icing truck. They discover that the victim was a pregnant 16-year-old high school volleyball player, and are shocked to find that nearly half of her teammates are either pregnant or already have babies as part of a “pregnancy pact.” [Source: FOX]

Episode 4.18: The Doctor in the Den
Airdate: March 26, 2009

The half-eaten body of Cam’s (Tamara Taylor) former fiancée is found in the tiger cage at the zoo, and Booth and Brennan determine the death was no accident. The team pieces together the fiancée’s final evening and questions suspects, including Brandon Casey (guest star Chad Lowe) whom Sweets (John Francis Daley) and Angela (Michaela Conlin) hypnotize to help jog his memory.
