Bones on FOX: What You Missed on the Season Premiere

The new season of Bones on the Fox station aired with a strong start that will hopefully last all season. The show Bones is about the relationship of the anthropologists at the Jeffersonian Institute and the FBI working together to solve crimes using police work and the bones of victims.

At the shows start a fleshless skull crashes through the windshield of a moving car after being hurled off of an overpass. The skull belongs to Gavin Nichols, a violinist who had been having an affair with the wife of a top CIA agent, making the man the top suspect. Once Dr. Brennan examines the skull it becomes apparent that Gavin had been cannibalized. The only clue-granules of a rare stone found stuck to the bone.

Although Hodgens is busy trying to help Angela find her first husband so she can get divorced and they can finally get married, he tracks this particular stone to an abandoned historic bank. Once they break into the basement vault, they discover it to be full of museum quality pieces of occult paraphernalia, including a silver skeleton. The skeleton is missing some of its silver bones and the team finds that they have been replaced with fresh bones.

Hodgens believes that all of the creepy findings point to a cannibalistic secret society and later findings seem to prove him correct. Zack returned from Iraq and threw himself into the case and found that the replaced skeletal bones pointed to at least six other victims and another cannibal. When Booth and Dr. Brennan go to question the suspect that is already in custody, they find him ritualistically murdered with a silver dagger, his body posed to mimic the skeleton. With the realization that there is at least one cannibal serial killer on the lose, Booth and Dr. Brennan make up and she agrees to stop avoiding him.

Bones has also moved to a new night for the new season, it will air on Tuesdays at 8 P.M. on your local Fox station.
