Bones Preview: 9 Things to Know About “The Day in the Life” (Plus Photos!)
The penultimate episode of Bones is full of surprises.
On Bones Season 12 Episode 11, “The Day in the Life,” the team investigates a murder that leads them to realize Brennan is in grave danger. Meanwhile, Zack’s trial date arrives, and Aubrey and Jessica discuss their future together. (Spoilers ahead!)
I got an early look at this episode, and I have to say, it doesn’t disappoint. Not only is it surprising and intense, but the way the story is told makes it particularly memorable.
As usual, when I do previews like this, I don’t want to give too much away, but I do have just a few additional hints as to what you can expect! Here they are.
1. Hodgins has the chance to demonstrate his bartending skills, and he has a little too much fun with it.
2. Cam makes a surprising decision that could affect someone else in the lab in a major way.
3. Some familiar faces return, including Avalon (Cyndi Lauper) and another character we haven’t seen in a while.
4. Brennan gets a popular saying very, very wrong.
5. Booth finds significant meaning in a photo.
6. Angela gives Aubrey some much-needed advice.
7. This quote: “I think I’m probably one too many drinks in to be holding a child.”
8. And this one: “Sometimes — not often — I underestimate you, Dr. Brennan.”
9. You may very well forget to breathe during the last few minutes of the episode. Be prepared.
