Fox 'Bones' Season 10 Episode Spoilers: Booth's Gambling Addiction Causes Problems in his Marriage With Brennan [Watch]
"Bones" fans have a lot to look forward to when the long-running series returns from its winter hiatus on March 26 with 11 back-to-back new episodes.
According to TVLine, the show will revisit Booth's gambling addiction, which is going to have a ripple effect on his marriage with Brennan. "The King of Queens" star Gavin Chadwick will make a guest appearance as Booth's long-time sponsor at his gamblers anonymous meeting. Chadwick's character will push Booth to open up and "share" during the meetings in order to help him in his recovery.
TVLine's Michael Ausiello also teased that viewers can look forward to getting a good laugh when Brennan creates a Twitter account and begins using really bad hashtags in the April 2 episode.
During an interview with Buddy TV, "Bones" star Emily Deschanel and Executive Producer Stephen Nathan dropped spoilers about how Deschanel's character will cope with being pregnant for the second time.
Nathan teased that Booth and Brennan's expectancy is "going to have a little bit more impact on them this season because Brennan now realizes what it is to have a child. Having the family expand and grow -- now she knows the tremendous risk that she and Booth's job have in terms of how it affects their family. So, she is going to have to deal with that," explained Nathan. "There are emotional considerations that surprise Brennan and will affect the pregnancy for the rest of the season."
Deschanel added that Brennan will go through a phase "where she doesn't really kind of accept her pregnancy for a period of time. I think that having a second pregnancy is different than having a first pregnancy and each one is different and Brennan's experiencing that. She realizes what it means when you are working in this kind of world, crime, putting yourself in danger ... so she's out of the field a little bit more this time and you'll see there's a lot of emotional things that happen with Brennan because of this pregnancy," said the actress.
Although Brennan won't suffer from any medical complications during her pregnancy, Deschanel warned that carrying the child will be emotionally toiling for her as she also deals with "Booth's relapse in to gambling." She added that: "At the same time, it seems like Brennan is a little more delicate this pregnancy, but nothing real major like that like she's on bed rest or like she's having many babies ... that we know of yet."
Nathan went on to reveal that Brennan will not deliver her unborn child in Season 10.
"I know everyone kind of expects it, but we've had a lot of births on the show, and we know how that goes. We're trying to approach the whole thing a bit differently ... things are more fraught emotionally for both of them for many, many reasons. There's also the preponderance of cases that have affected their life over the past ten years of working together. And what that how that affects their perception of their situation and of the world they want to bring their new child into and raise their family," said the EP.
In addition, Nathan hinted that "Brennan's pregnancy will have a tremendous impact on the series certainly giving us a season finale that is deeply affected by it."
According to Carter Matt, the official synopsis of the next episode, which is entitled "The Psychic in the Soup," reads as follows:
"The Jeffersonian team, with the help of Angela's psychic friend, Avalon Harmonia (guest star Cyndi Lauper), is drawn into the twisted world of fortune tellers when the body of a local psychic is found decomposing in the trunk of a tree. However, when the team learns more about the victim's personal life, those closest to her become suspects. Meanwhile, Booth and Brennan debate the pros and cons of Christine's new imaginary friend and the team remembers Sweets on his birthday."
"Bones" will return with Season 10, Episode 11, "The Psychic in the Soup," on Thursday, March 26 at 8 p.m. ET on Fox.
