Bones Season Premier: M.I.A. - Missing In Action

Emily Deschanel
Boogeyman’s Emily Deschanel and Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s David Boreanaz are back at it again with season 8 of the hit TV series Bones on Fox.  After an arduous season 7, consisting of a pregnancy, murder, and a supposed framing, Temperance Brennan – aka Bones – goes into hiding for three months. With ex-convict Max Keenan – Temperance’s dad – and baby Christine by her side, Bones tries to prove herself not only to the FBI, but her friends and loved ones as well.


The Cast of Bones
Although her cast mates know she is innocent, the pang of knowing the truth is in their stomachs every second of everyday. The Lincoln Lawyer’s Michaela Conlin, who plays Bones’ best friend and coworker Angela Montenegro, uses the supposed evidence to help find the truth, so Bones can come home. While in hiding, Bones uncovers a corpse for her team which pushes the man that she knows did it over the edge.

The Jeffersonian Forensic Anthropology team believes that a man named Christopher Pelant is responsible for multiple murders and the framing of Temperance Brennan. Due to his computer background, he has the capability of hacking into the FBI database to change and/or steal information, which he uses to remove himself and place Bones in a security video.

David Boreanaz
David Boreanaz, who plays Seeley Booth, randomly decides to take a trip to Atlantic City for the weekend. Although his intentions are unknown to the viewer, predicting what happens next is easy. Why would a married man take a trip to Atlantic City in the middle of the night when his wife and daughter are missing?

To create a suspenseful climax for the show, executive producers Barry Josephson and Hart Hanson use Booth’s mysterious trip to Atlantic City as a cliffhanger. Although he cannot inform his team of his actions, they show their support by making it their mission to find out the truth, even if it means the end of the road for one of their own.

Although the premiere was not what I had expected, it left me gripping the edge of my seat, wanting more, and determined to finish the season. Because this episode laid a strong foundation for the rest of season 8, Bones will continue to be climatic and jaw dropping.
