Get your popcorn ready, fellas. It sounds like a catfight is coming to Bones!

As previously reported, Angela will break her vow of celibacy early in the new season. We can confirm that the sexual partner in question will be male, and that he may somehow come between Angela and Brennan.

According to Bones producer Hart Hanson, during the same episode in which Angela gets her swerve on, she and Brennan will have it out.

"Their friendship is deeply challenged. It’ll be the first time that Brennan realizes that being totally rational about something isn’t necessarily being a good friend," the producer told Entertainment Weekly. "And every time she has done that in the past, Angela has come around and excused Brennan’s behavior. This time, if they’re friendship is to be maintained, Brennan has to take a step toward the irrational.”

New episodes of Bones kick off on September 17.
