'Bones' Season 11 – A murder in the premiere episode and Booth & Brennan are back at it again.
Season 11 of "Bones" has a lot in store for fans once it returns on October 1st. Six months have passed since the Season 10 finale. Booth and Brennan seem to have slipped into domesticity, tending to their newborn son and dealing with a new place and less stressful jobs. But suddenly, Booth disappears. A new FBI agent comes in to investigate. Then there is the famously rumored Bones-Sleepy Hollow crossover happening on Halloween. The latest rumor is that a shocking murder in the premiere episode sets the tone for Season 11.
So what has happened at the Jeffersonian once Booth and Brennan have moved out? Brennan is not happy at the candidates that Cam keeps choosing as her replacement. But the slot has to be filled so it is Arastoo in the interim.
According to Entertainment Weekly, showrunner Michael Peterson says, "Arastoo is the main intern who has taken over. He's really filled in for Brennan in her absence. Eventually Brennan will come back, but what that means for Cam and Arastoo is very interesting."
Brennan has to take help from her friends at the Jeffersonian to locate Booth. FBI Agent Miller, played by guest star Kim Raver, investigates Booth's disappearance but it is soon discovered that she is withholding important information that could have led to Booth being found. FBI digital forensic scientist Dr. Benjamin Metzger, played by guest star Josh Casaubon, steps in and tries to figure out the mess. Ultimately, Booth is located.
Once Booth is found, the couple have to tackle the Headless Horseman in the Bones & Sleepy Hollow crossover. So how are Booth and Brennan going to deal with the supernatural element?
Then a murder happens. According to the rumors and spoilers, the murder happens in the premiere episode itself. This murder will draw Booth and Brennan together and they will team up to solve the murder case.
Showrunner Michael Peterson admits that the "kidnapping" had to be incorporated due to Boreanaz's health scare. But he is hale and hearty and the mystery will be revealed in the second episode titled, "The Brother in the Basement." But what is revealed is so shocking that its impact will resonate throughout the season.
