Thankfully, Brennan gets to him in time once again, and the two-parter closes on a hospital room scene that calls all the way back to the pair’s season one dynamic. The elder Booth is merely off trying to be the hero again, a shot in the gut his only reward for trying in vain to save state secrets and his brother’s life. As she eventually discovers, Booth is alive, and the similarities in the skeletal structure point her to the real victim: his younger brother, Jared (Brendan Fehr). Unsurprisingly, Brennan refuses to accept it, throwing herself back into the work and mentally cataloguing every injury her husband sustained throughout his traumatic childhood and heroic adult life in the hopes of finding something to refute a mountain of physical evidence. When charred remains turn up at the Jeffersonian, all signs point to them being Booth’s. So in the two-part season 11 opener, Bones was tasked with bringing back its core twosome in a believable yet suspenseful way, and they went right for the gut. The show’s 10th season finale, “The Next in the Last,” was written before producers knew whether or not they’d be coming back for an 11th year - and featured Booth and Brennan stepping away from the crime-solving life as they prepared to welcome their second child. So, as we say goodbye to Booth and Brennan - and the rest of the beloved “Squint Squad” - here’s a look back at some of the pair’s very best hours together: Two kids and countless hurdles later, they’re still going strong. We watched Brennan wrestle with her feelings as Booth looked for love, saw them lay it all on the line only to yank it back again, and finally, at long last, got to witness their happy ending.
But at the core of the long-running Fox procedural - the “heart of the matter,” if you will - was a partnership between forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan (Emily Deschanel) and FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz).įrom their first episode together, Brennan and Booth’s dynamic was electric, and while the will-they-or-won’t-they of it all took nearly seven seasons to sort out (more if you count that they don’t actually tie the knot until season nine), their relationship kept fans hooked for all 245 episodes. Bones signs off on Tuesday, after 12 seasons of crime solving, evidence examining, blood, guts and, most importantly, bones.
