Plot Synopsis

This one-hour drama follows Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan, a highly skilled forensic anthropologist, who works with a FBI agent on murder investigations when the standard methods of identifying a body are futile. Her special expertise lies in her ability to read clues left behind in the victim's bones. Based on real-life forensic anthropologist Kathy Reichs. Season 8 opens with Brennan on the run and hiding from the FBI -- with the help of her father -- after she is accused of murder, but she covertly returns to the Jeffersonian to help prove her innocence. Booth and the team think that evil tech-genius Pelant manipulated evidence evidence to implicate Brennan, and they work together to prove their hypothesis. Season 8 ends on Monday, April 29, 2013 at 8pm ET/PT, with "The Secret in the Siege" featuring evil tech genius Pelant, who returns to toy with the Jeffersonian team in their newest investigation. The team discovers that the string of murders that have been occurring are tied to FBI agents close to Booth, and, as the investigation unfolds, Sweets realizes that the evidence seems all too familiar to him. Plus, Brennan starts evaluating her relationship with Booth when signs begin to point to him as one of Pelant's potential targets.
