The Jeffersonian team investigates the remains of two bodies that were found at the same burial plot: one of a female cancer patient; the other, the cancer patient's "doula," who was guiding her through her grieving process with the illness.Download Video Bones The Twist In The Plot Episode On ABC Family Tv Online Tv Live Streaming Video.

Also, Daisy Wick returns for her first case after her break-up with Sweets.Bones, a darkly amusing procedural currently in its eighth season, is inspired by real-life forensic anthropologist and novelist Kathy Reichs. Dr. Temperance Brennan (Emily Deschanel) is a highly skilled forensic anthropologist who works at the Jeffersonian Institute in Washington, D.C., and writes novels on the side.
When the standard methods of identifying a body are useless (when the remains are so badly decomposed, burned or destroyed), law enforcement calls on Brennan for her uncanny ability to read clues left behind in the victim's bones. While most people can't handle Brennan's intelligence, her drive for the truth or the way she flings herself headlong into every investigation, Special Agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz) of the FBI's Homicide Investigations Unit is an exception.
A former Army sniper, Booth mistrusts science and scientists - the "squints", as he calls them - who pore over the physical evidence of a crime. But even he cannot deny that the combination of his people-smarts and Brennan's scientific acumen makes them a formidable duo.
As the camera opens on a pastoral picnic in the foothills of a very fake mountain, it’s revealed that three months have passed since the serial killer Pelant (Andrew Leeds) framed Brennan for murder, forcing her to go on the lam with her father, Max (Ryan O’Neal), and infant daughter, Christine. It appears that all the brilliant forensic anthropologist needed to soften her harsher edges was a progeny because the opening scene with she and her daughter is nothing short of touching.
Clearly she misses Booth (David Boreanaz) and is growing weary of a life on the run. Of course she is still the top scientist in her field and she’s lost nothing of the essentials of her character, but she has grown and hopefully that growth will only continue.
Meanwhile back in DC, Booth is stuck at a desk, forced to watch Special Agent Hayes Flynn (Reed Diamond) take over his office and continue a full FBI pursuit of Brennan. Boreanaz plays an excellent impatient man, giving the picture of a caged tiger just waiting for his chance to pounce.
He and Diamond work very well off of one another, giving and taking barbs and exchanging weary looks that make you believe they’ve been at this song and dance routine about Brennan’s whereabouts for far too long.
Not surprising, then, that Booth heads out as soon as there’s a body that could be tied to Pelant and he doesn’t leave Brennan’s side once she finds him. Also, it’s good to see the more serious, cop, side of Booth come out to play.
David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel start well with better than two-dimensional characters in a fresh look at a CSI type show. Based on the real-life work of forensic anthropologist and novelist Kathy Reichs, it's fun, kicky, and only occasionally too gruesome to look at. Not quite like one of Ms. Reichs' novels, it is still a pleasure for a fan (me!) to watch.
Boreanaz' past work on Buffy and Angel stands in good stead here as he delivers lines that stand up to a strong female role without diminishing it. Also like Buffy, humor lends grace to embarrassing social situations that highlight common human vulnerabilities. Surrounding the 2 major players are other characters who add to the thrust of a character driven show.
The writers do good work giving each character unique attributes that have nothing to do with hair color or body measurements. The entire cast does a good job presenting real, quirky individuals who don't have to rely on looks to sell the worth of their character to the viewers.
That alone is something new for any CSI show. Still some rough edges in writing and delivery (Tempe's "I wish this was the worst I have seen" was painful for all the wrong reasons),"Bones" has great potential.
