After an episode last night that was one of the series' best in some time (see our Bones review from earlier), the show is gearing up for an epic twist next Thursday. Or at least an epic twister.

The body of a storm-chaser found after a tornado doesn't seem all that unusual until a video shows a more sinister culprit than Mother Nature ... who doesn't exist, Brennan helpfully notes.

Meanwhile, a desperate Angela and Hodgins turn to her father (the great Billy Gibbons) for child-care assistance (!) and Brennan must cope with Booth's increasing over-protectiveness.

That can leave them both in some compromising positions sometimes, as the promo below illustrates.

Everybody back to work! Check out the first look at "The Twist in the Twister" and see for yourself ...
