Fox's hit crime drama, "Bones," may be on a brief hiatus but that doesn't stop fans from craving some scoop on upcoming episodes. The Monday night series returns next week for an entertaining episode entitled "The Party in the Pants," which promises to have the women of the Jeffersonian "all hot and bothered."
The episode, which revolves around the murder case of a male stripper, will also include a visit from Booth's (David Boreanaz) estranged mother (guest star Joanna Cassidy). In a sneak peak provided by TVLine, fans get a glimpse of her surprise visit to Booth's office at the FBI after not seeing him for nearly 25 years.
Although the reunion is a happy one, executive producer Stephen Nathan tells TVLine, "There's a lot of history there and a lot of things unspoken. And a lot of things [they] are going to try to repress and sweep under the carpet, but they won't be able to." Preview images for the upcoming episode also show Booth's mother meeting Brennan (Emily Deschanel) and their daughter Christine.
The show, which has only three more episodes remaining for the April 29th finale, will also reveal the identity of Pelant's possible accomplice. According to TVLine, Beau Knapp ("Super 8") has been cast as Zane Reynolds, who is "a menacing member of a religious cult whose family members were killed by FBI agents ten years ago." TVLine adds that Booth believes Zane is not only "armed to the teeth" but also taking orders from Pelant to target Booth and his friends and family.
Knapp and Cassidy won't be the only guest stars appearing before the end of the season. Fox reveals that Lennie Loftin will guest star during the show's April 22 episode, entitled "The Pathos in the Pathogens." Loftin will play a scientist who is persuaded to help the team at the Jeffersonian stop a viral outbreak.
"Bones" S8E22, "The Party in the Pants," airs on Monday, April 15 at 8 p.m. EST on FOX.
