Following an episode that saw Booth and Brennan struggle to come to terms with the effects of her three months on the lam (see our Bones review from Monday night), the team returns with a new, gross case next week.

After an explosion occurs in a hotel garage, the Jeffersonian team must research the remains found at the crime scene in order to match them to the victim. After they get the remains off of Hodgins' face, that is.

The investigation only gets trickier when they discover that the man whom they thought was dead is actually alive, and there's the small matter of Sweets running point instead of Booth. Wait ... say what now?

With Seeley taking on a desk assignment to get the department’s budget approved in order to land a promotion, Sweets is given a temporary partner, FBI Special Agent Olivia Sparling (Danielle Panabaker) Monday.
