Word is that changes are afoot for the BONES characters this season, starting with the series’ 100th episode, “The Parts in the Sum of the Whole,” scheduled to air April 8. David Boreanaz, who stars as FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth and is one of the show’s producers, directed the pivotal episode.
Naturally, he doesn’t want to give too much away, but here’s what he will say about his hit Fox show, now in its fifth season and already picked up for a sixth.
iF MAGAZINE: Now that your character Booth realizes he’s in love with Temperance “Bones” Brennan, portrayed by Emily Deschanel, are you playing him any differently?
DAVID BOREANAZ: I would say “cautiously” [so far as] the realization that he has feelings for her, he has these feelings of love, wherever that may go as the season progresses, especially after the hundredth episode. A lot of stuff will kind of come to a head and be revealed, a lot of answers to those questions, what direction they may have to go into, without giving away too much. So I think that he’ll stay the course with her right now and then see how that progresses. But after the hundredth, there will be a lot of answers to those questions.
iF: The hundredth episode is largely about the first time Booth and Brennan worked together on a case …
BOREANAZ: Yeah, it’s a flashback episode. [It takes place] a year before the pilot. It’s something that involved a judge and a woman that fell down some stairs, and basically that’s just the B plot. The A plot is really the way these two met and how their chemistry kicked off, how he was pretty much dealing with his gambling issues and getting in touch with that, and meeting this woman who he ends up working with, ends up really liking. It will start with the two of us in Sweets’ [the psychiatrist played by John Francis Daley] office, dealing with the book that he wrote about the couple, and we just tell him that he’s made a big mistake, and he doesn’t know about the past and our first case together – the real first case together. As the episode progresses, we’ll go back and forth from the past to the office and have a big reveal at the end. Something happens.
iF: Since you know you are renewed for a sixth season, are you going to end this season on a cliffhanger?
BOREANAZ: I think someone’s going to get married. That’s all I’ll say.
iF: Probably not your character …
BOREANAZ [deadpan]: I don’t know.
