BONES: Exclusive Scoop on

It's the serial killer arc we've all been waiting for ever since Bones EP Michael Peterson uttered the words "Big Bad" on a recent conference call.

“The Monster in the Closet” will see the Jeffersonian investigating the decomposing body of a social worker in the park. So far so regular episode of Bones, right?

However the investigation takes a big jump to the left when the collected evidence suggests the killer lived with the body for months before dumping it.

Things get even more complicated when they realize another set of cold case remains in Limbo share details which link both victims to a serial murderer who had sinister interactions with his victims’ bodies.

The episode welcomes back behavioral analyst Karen Delfs (guest star Sara Rue) who cuts through the seriousness of this week's installment by bringing some much needed levity to proceedings.

Meanwhile, Pej Vahdat's Arastoo also returns, prompting Cam to make a decision about what and who she wants most in her life.

We've seen the episode a little early, thanks to our friends at FOX, and have a number of teasers to share with you. As usual, we have chosen to avoid outright revelations and plot points that could take away from your experience of the episode. However, we urge you to exercise your regular degree of caution around spoilers, because this is the internet and who are these ScreenSpy people anyway?

Angela Gets Support

We’ll be honest, we’re kind of going through the 5 stages of grief in reverse where Hodgins’ condition is concerned.

In the season premiere we were initially accepting of the show’s new direction for this character, and even though we held out hope that his condition could somehow be magically reversed by the stroke of a writer’s pen (bargaining), we were nonetheless right there with him as he explored feelings of depression and denial.

But now we’re just angry. Particularly at Hodgins’ treatment of Angela — which by the way only gets worse this week. And it seems we’re not alone. Brennan and Cam will come to their friend’s assistance this week, with Brennan even offering to suspend Hodgins following a particularly cutting remark.

Hodgins we love you, but we’ve all had enough.
