5 Things to Know About BONES Mid-Season Double-Header

On Thursday Bones will roll out two back to back episodes to mark the show's mid-season finale, and final episodes of 2015.

"The Cowboy in the Contest" and "The Doom in the Boom," are, with the exception of a couple of plot points, mostly unrelated, and serve (unintentionally or not) to starkly juxtapose the show's trademark humor with some more dramatic and emotional beats.

"The Cowboy in the Contest" sees Booth and Brennan re-immersing themselves in their Buck and Wanda personas as they go undercover at a Wild West shooting contest in order to oust a murderer.

Keep your tongues planted firmly in your cheeks for this one, as Wild Card Wanda and Big River Buck attempt to out-shoot, out-flirt and out-wit each other before the competition ends.

Meanwhile, "The Doom in the Boom" (an aptly titled episode made of some really juicy finale material) offers some strong emotional scenes as tragedy at a murder scene irrevocably alters the course of one character's life, while leaving another's hanging in the balance.

We've seen both installments a little early, thanks to our friends at FOX and suggest that for the first hour, fans should kick back and relax with Buck and Wanda, because things are about to get a little rough over that second hour, and you'll be glad you paced yourself.

Below, you'll find a small handful of teasers for both episodes. We've attempted to avoid outright spoilers and plot points that might otherwise ruin your enjoyment of those final two episodes of the year. As usual though, we urge readers to take caution, especially those spoilerphobes among you, as one man's perfectly innocent teaser is another man's outrageous reveal.

Shiny Happy People

Is that the patter of tiny feet we hear? No, it’s not, but Angela would really like if it were.

It seems Angela is ready for Micheal Vincent to have a little brother or sister of his own, but Hodgins is not altogether keen on the idea, and wants to keep their cosy family a threesome for now.

Of course, Angela’s longing is only made worse when she sees a cute drawing Christine has made of her baby brother, Hank.

Will Hodgins be tempted to change his mind, or will this micro fracture cause blunt force trauma for this couple down the line?

What we can tell you is that happy complacent TV couples pretty much pour cold water on any potential for drama.

By the time the credits roll, Hodgins and Angela will be anything but complacent. Or happy.

Expect some pretty dramatic and unexpected turns.
