Time to celebrate as Bones reaches its landmark 100th episode on Thursday 15 April. The episode, The Part In The Sum Of The Whole, will be directed by the series' leading man, David Boreanaz. Here he talks about what we can expect from the episode...
Did you ever think Bones would reach the milestone of 100 episodes?
We're into our fifth season now and from the pilot episode, which I loved, I haven't ever thought about getting to 100 episodes.
I've taken it one episode at a time and we've all worked as hard we can to make it better each time. I don't look at the numbers; I just look at the work and the quality of it and the different relationships between the characters.
What are we going to see in the 100th episode?When we start the episode, Sweets is ready to publish a book about Brennan and Booth, but we tell him that he's got bits wrong and he needs to know about the first case we worked on together. So we go back in time to when we first met - a year before the pilot episode - and we see these two characters meet and solve their first case together.
There's intrigue and romance, and there's tequila involved too. When we come to the end of the show we realise that everything Sweets has written needs to be re-evaluated. There's a big revelation at the end in the present time and Booth and Bones have things to figure out.
There's a suggestion that the 100th episode will be a turning point in Brennan and Booth's relationship. Is that right?
It is a turning point, yes. There's a crossroads and each of them has to decide which path to take and it will, somehow, affect their relationship towards the end of the season and into next.
Robert Englund, famous for playing Freddy Kruger, is going to be starring in a slasher-themed episode. What can we expect from that?
We go back to a high school where there's a reunion and a murder's been committed. Robert plays this really interesting janitor guy who could be one of the suspects. It's a high school reunion for Bones so we've got some year book pictures of Emily in there which are funny.
And is it right that the Grave Digger will come back this season?
Yes, we have the trial of the Grave Digger, but the end result could leave the door open. She's a very smart woman and I'm sure she'll find a way to come back. The trial's tough for Bones, she has to figure out how to not be so scientific when she's talking to the jury.
Hart Hanson has said that two regular characters will get married this season. Are you going to spill the beans?
We may have filmed something that mentioned something about a wedding, but I can't remember. I don't know what you're talking about!
Season four ended with a fantasy episode, is there anything you can tell us about the season five finale?
We've just started working on that and it looks as though the characters will be going in separate directions for a while, for reasons I can't talk about. It's going to be a really nice way to end the run.
