‘Bones’ season 11 spoilers: A different sort of undercover mission for Booth, Brennan

For those of you who are interested in seeing “Bones” shake it up a little bit with some undercover work, you’re going to see some of that play out during the upcoming two-part midseason finale airing next both. You’ve seen the characters of Buck and Wanda in the past, but this time around Booth and Brennan are not going to be playing the pair as a couple!

So why make this change now? It’s not for any sort of dramatic reason; rather, showrunner Michael Peterson tells TV Guide that this is just a way to shake things up and have their alter egos suit whatever they are working on when it comes to a case:

“Booth is much more into the idea of going undercover than Brennan is … She’s like, ‘This is a waste of time. You just want to wear a silly cowboy hat and guns.’ She doesn’t believe that it’s actually necessary for the case, so she doesn’t join him initially. She comes in later, but it changes the dynamic. Every other time they’re basically a couple going undercover, and this time they’re getting to play strangers to one another. They’ve been married for so long and to get to see each other in a different dynamic was a fun opportunity we wanted to take.”

We’re interested to see how this midseason finale plays out since one way or another, it has to do enough to satisfy us as viewers for a long time. The show is not coming back on the air until at some point in the spring of next year, and a precise date has not been confirmed just yet.
